I bought a video game today specifically because it's set in Québec. The last time I did this, I regretted it a little bit because the type of game just wasn't for me even though I think it was really good at what it was, so let's hope this time goes a little better.

I mean, you could just make a brand new special dividend tax. Also, one for corporate profits. Also, tax every dollar that is sent out of the country. You could use things like that to pay for health care.

I think what's happened to America is downright hilarious.

Russia influenced the government through the same tools that Saudi Arabia and Israel have traditionally used to influence Democrats and Republicans alike.

1. Easily influenced for-profit media
2. Shady PACs
3. Shady corporate influence
4. Troll farms

Russia *did better* than the historical influencers because they only had to bribe one party mind you.

Americans could have elected anyone else. They didn't.
