The only thing that would be shocking is if we discovered a Democrat who wasn’t in the pocket of a foreign power.

I checked this guy out. He made a ton of money in Russian aluminum and then oil.

He is a major philanthropist, giving money to museums, etc., and it looks like he is now a dual citizen of the US and UK.

He gives money to both Reps and Dems to influence them about Israeli/Jewish matters. He seems to be the least evil of the Russian oligarchs, maybe not evil at all.

Get rid of rat Cuomo and you simply get the next rat in line. In this case it’s Hochul.

If it wasn’t dark money supporting Democratic candidates I wonder if any of them could win an election.

The bribery f the Governor of the formerly American state of New York is but trivial peanuts compared to the Russian ownership of the President of the United States, Joe Biden

Biden is by the way, all RayBans and no Airplane
