Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
““There’s constant attacks going on, we’re under constant threats every day,” said Illinois elections board spokesperson Matt Dietrich. “With Russia, it wasn’t just targeting the Illinois State Board of Elections or even necessarily targeting election officials nationwide; they were trying to get everywhere in government, because their goal ultimately was to undermine confidence in government. It’s specifically effective if you undermine confidence in the election system, since that’s foundational to everything.””
Translation: Every time a Republican wins anywhere in the state, it’s a result of ‘Russian’ interference in our election. Orange Man Bad.”
