If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

The only thing Charlie Kirk had in common with Jesus is that Christians get mad when you quote him to them.

Once again, whatever the GOP does is seen as the norm and acceptable, and anything Dems do is seen as a transgressive overreach.

The new rule, established by the GOP on party lines, will enable them to confirm Trump nominees in groups, rather than individually. It's the latest move to erode minority powers.
