One of the worst trolls on this website & a major source of disinfo is a US Senator 🤫
Exhibit A: November 2019 Senator Rubio tweeted an old video and said it was from a current protest. The old video is still on his timeline, he never deleted or corrected it.

On April 3, 1998, American Petroleum Institute launched a multimillion dollar, multi-year PR campaign to install “uncertainty” in the public policy arena. “Victory will be achieved when average citizens understand uncertainties in climate science…”

What do you expect will happen when you bombard the public with sophisticated propaganda campaigns for so long?

HOW CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA IS A L 🔑 NEXUS POINT

INTO THE BREXIT/2016ELEX RUSSIA CONSPIRACY PROBES

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn President Trump’s D.C. hotel had so many customers at a networking event for lobbyists last night, that when the hotel's boss went to boast about his “#success” on Twitter, panorama mode was required to show all the patrons.

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn Russian-funded RT America personalities celebrated “great things” at the Trump Hotel DC. It’s unclear if they were referring to the ease w/which staffers for foreign gov't-funded media can get cash to the U.S. president or something else.

1/ Let me tell you about #SouthAfrica friends since it's topical and I've lived here for 30 years.
2/ The biggest divides between black and white are cultural and almost invisible but very very important.

Black people -> group culture.
White people -> individual culture.

#SouthAfrica
3/ In group cultures, people are loyal to the group in exchange for protection. Your identity is found in the group to which you belong. No person is 100% one or the other of course - we're all a mixture of both. However, by and large, black people are group culture, whites not.
