All viable politics is harm reduction.

Everyone knows it's impossible for the NSA to buy rack space in Bulgaria, where they literally don't have to deal with any US legal process.

It's also impossible for the NSA to market such a service via pop-privacy blogs and social media profiles.

The funny part about this is that the Snowden leaks showed that the NSA actually put a lot of effort into doing shit like this specifically to avoid all the paperwork which came with accidentally collecting data from US citizens. Keeping the data and analysis off shore means no pesky FISA paperwork.

The idea was that the Saudis and Russians pump money into the stock to keep the price propped up until Donny can cash out, but that only works if you have enough cash to backfill the volume ratio as needed. It would work a lot better if they could have been quieter about it, but Trump basically makes billions as long as the price doesn't actually go to zero since his shares are grants for using his "brand."

It's not so much money laundering as a completely legal path for foreign agents to buy favors from a possible US President.

600k active accounts. Maybe half of them are real Americans.

So I guess that means Trump must have had a secret earpiece. Or maybe a vibrating butt plug.

In most cases if you are a tourist and are accused of minor crimes you just get deported unless you've done something else more serious. Detaining someone on a short term visa is awkward (what if their passport expires while in custody?) and kicking them out of the country accomplishes the same thing as jailing them.

There's a reason why countries with proper transit infrastructure view alcoholism as a novelty.

Don't respond if it is mostly "Blue MAGA" and "Genocide Joe"

It could also be instance admins fucking around.

You should out the users and topics they are engaging with.

Words cannot express how fucking weird this is.
