Collusion It is illegal for any person … to accept … anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election. … when foreign governments seek to influence American politics, it is always to advance their interests, not America's.

Collusion It's not an interference, they have information. I think I'd take it.  If I thought there was something wrong, I'd go maybe to the FBI. If I thought there was something wrong.

Money in politics In the 1980s, about 10 percent of all campaign spending came from one-tenth of 1 percent (0.01 percent) of the voting age population. By 2012, more than 40 percent of spending came from this tiny sliver of wealthy Americans. … [I]n 2012 the combined contributions of the 3.7 million small donors to the Obama and Romney campaigns amounted to less than the total contibutions of the 159 largest individual super PAC contributors.

Rural America But the true losers from the romanticisation of rural life are, I suspect, rural-dwellers themselves. Their social problems get lost in the credulous notion of the countryside as the seat of virtue. Their economic decline is obscured by our wonder at the pastoral sublime. They might be poor, this line of thought seems to go, but what ravishing views they have. Janan Ganesh, Financial Times, June 15, 2019 © 2019 Kwiple.com
