But, of course, we all know the real reason for that was because Obama's people had gotten wind that Flynn would become a key figure within the incoming administration. They've been trying to bring him down ever since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be one of those "Obama" people I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is confusing. Eh, I don't feel like explaining Flynn right now- especially since you are already supposed to know. Long story short: If Flynn had registered as a foreign agent and not lied to Pence and the FBI about it, everything would have been ethical (as much as a former general selling US influence to Turkey and Russia goes) and legal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries. I'm thinking we'll be getting more than enough Flynn news here in the coming weeks and months as it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autochthon1990 Posted July 16, 2020 #57 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Where is Biden? Not holding rallies and social distancing insead of fellating his own ego in Tulsa because he cares more about other people then the sociopath in office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense to me...good guess. Say, serious question: in the int'l sanctions lobbying biz, who do you think pays the best among Russia, Ukraine, and Iran? I have no idea... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the finances of the various Trump associates investigated, I would say Manafort and Ukraine hands down. Seems that is where the Russians funnel money through to get to their US assets as well- so two birds with one stone so to speak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say, serious question: in the int'l sanctions lobbying biz, who do you think pays the best among Russia, Ukraine, and Iran? I have no idea... From among the three, my guess would be Russia, but it's really hard to get a good tally of total spending as lobbying efforts tend to be complex. Those lobbying would include governments, businesses and other special interest groups, and not all are into public disclosures. The following is an interactive map that shows FARA spending by country since 2016. There is no breakdown of spending unfortunately. https://www.opensecrets.org/fara/countries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless we have all these barnacles like Biden, Pelosi, McConnell etc.. on both sides of the aisle that have been professional politicians in the federal government for 20, 30, 40 plus years who have done what? Put us where we are now. Up **** creek without a paddle. To act like the idiot in office now is worse than them is in my opinion dishonest. He’s not better either. He does have the advantage, for the citizenry, again in my opinion, of not having many allies in government thus not being very effective at driving us down the crap agenda we’ve been driven down for decades. Both parties main concern is big business not people and again I will just put it out there to my fellow Americans, guillotines my friends, guillotines.
