You're literal blocks away from all of the Senators. Buy one - or one of their lobbyists - a beer and you arguably have more political influence than anyone in the country.


Every oligarch in america is literally blocks away from senators.

Then you agree that we should remove the right of the rich to vote


Lobby reform would probably be a good idea.

I think we should uniformly scrutinize donors for foreign influences and execute illegitimate ones.

Biden selects William Burns, a long-time State Department hand, as CIA Director.

I read this guy's book last year. A good choice IMO... he has relationships all over the world, and probably a good signal to appoint a lifelong diplomat over a former general or some politician.


So, once we're done surrendering on trade to China, do you think he'll call for a large scale invasion of Syria or move right to war with Iran? Or maybe Russia, that evil Putin did force a fascist on America for 4 years.

Once we've reversed the punishment/tax on American businesses and consumers, and cut off the socialism to farmers because it won't be necessary anymore, we'll then move to rejoin the Iran deal. Putin is who he is, there's no clear cut way to change his behavior, unless you want to sacrifice American interests and our allies to accomplish it.

Apart from the kneejerk anti-Bidenism, one would think those who are anti-war would applaud a lifelong diplomat taking over the CIA.

there is only one person (and that's almost literally true, as even his most loyal advisors spoke out against it, and only the biggest war hawks supported his course) who escalated the iran situation to the best of his ability - and that's donald trump, your self-proclaimed anti-interventionist, lol. previously, the relationship between iran and the west was improving noticeably and rapidly after the iran deal was made.

as for china, never forget that trump may have talked a big game to his base, but reality looked more like:

ah yes after slapping around the politburo-controlled china economy for 3+ years, which is mostly reliant on slave labor, theft of ideas, and jacking intellectual property. and now more people now than ever (not you or biden though) recognize the threat of a CCP-controlled global economy. and your response is some likely business-person with Chinese roots paid $5.4MM for a luxury condo?

or are you suggesting that “China” in this article is the CCP? :rofl:

At this point, she's gonna get successfully primaried imho. She's not just an ancient fossil who's out of touch with America, she's also out of touch with her own party and base.
