I bet it’s the saudis.
Great crowd to be friends with…
Why would we get upset over foreign investment but not domestic investment?

But wouldn’t allow a Chinese company to own a social media site operating in the US.
The harvested data wasn’t going to the ‘right’ places.
Capitalism is a big club, and the socialists ain’t in it.
The bribes didn’t go through yet.

Osama bin Laden is laughing his ass off!
Come on Canada, you know what to do.
Actually I’m not sure it’s worth it. It’s still giving money to Americans. But it would be funny to be able to inundate them with propaganda of our choice.

If you were writing the story of the end of the American Empire you would be right around the part where leadership was selling out to the highest bidder to try to save themselves.
Save themselves from what? As the country continues to deteriorate, the parasites profiting from its downfall will just go somewhere else. They can afford it.
It’s the dumbasses that keep supporting these con artists that are going to suffer.
