You just have to look how Stalin "explained" the failure of his farm collectivisation policy amongst his other efforts. The starving were hoarding food and starving themselves to make him look bad AND the local Communist Party officials were complicit and to blame for not exposing and stopping them. The starving were already dying so for his collaborators....Off with their Head! Fear does horrible things to people and pushes them to the same to others.
Back in Kentucky he’s being called Moscow Mitch for a reason. There was an aluminum factory built in Kentucky financed by one of Putin‘s buddies. So guess who has leverage on Mitch. Another weakling. The Republicans are saturated with them. I think Putin has a majority of the Republican House and the Republican Senate in his back pocket. When you’re the richest man in the world, that can buy a lot of leverage.
All you have to do is look up his biography on Wikipedia to find his home town, then google the town/scandals. Same for his school and church and university. The first ten Senators i search (in alphabetical order) coughed up a lot of dirt.
Wikipedia is not an authoritative source. Anyone can write a Wikipedia article. NYT is called the newspaper of record for a reason. Sure, it's not perfect but at least it corrects an error.
That's right. It was also called the lying New York Times and fake news by our former would-be dictator. It's mind boggling how our country is experiencing an ongoing(!) assault on truth, facts, and science. If I weren't living through this moment I wouldn't believe it could happen.

I seem to remember reading that he and Elaine will receive major stock options in that company.
Whoa!
I read a few years ago that Mitch and Elaine are both worth about 25 million. How much more do they need? When is enough enough?
The Koch family made a lot of real estate investments, though none have paid off quite so well as the Manchin in West Virginia.
