I’ve gone down a YouTube rabbit hole now:
See, now this is what the Irish Foreign Ministry *should* play as its hold music, especially for Americans applying for citizenship.
I once saw Shaun Ryder walk offstage at Bowery Ballroom because the crowd didn’t know the words to a Happy Mondays song, but it wasn’t this one:

[Thread] Meet Martin Möller, an Austrian colonel who spent decades spying for Russian military intelligence. In the last half-decade or so, he worked with a specific unit of the GRU: dennikn.sk/2082755/russia… Image
First, what you might expect: intel on German military units and equipment, anything that might be gleaned from (non-NATO) Austria's alliance with NATO member-states: Image
This involved giving his handlers a look at the Structural Planning Department at the Austrian Ministry of Defense as well as NATO troop vulnerabilities in Afghanistan (where Austrian troops also fought), from meetings held at NATO HQ in Brussels, which Möller attended: Image

Anyone else having a panic attack because they’re watching “Singles” and realizing it’s almost a 30 year-old movie?
It’s as old to us now as the Kennedy assassination was to it.

Oh look, another one.
"Topics covered by NAEBC ranged from attacks on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden to criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement and praise for Wisconsin shooter Kyle Rittenhouse."
"When asked by email about NAEBC’s connections to Russia, a person identifying themselves as Nora Berka, an assistant editor, said: “I have no idea what does NAEBC have to do with it.” The person declined to speak by phone or video call."

In "late July," it states, Russian intelligence assessed that Clinton "had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal" against Trump "by tying him to Putin and the Russians' hacking" of the DNC.
In May 2016, the DNC and DCCC realized their systems were compromised.

[Thread] Hillary Clinton suggested in one of the debates that Trump paid no income tax. His muttered reply? “That makes me smart.” It was all out there, in other words, before the last election. What was different then?
Well, for one, the campaign conceit that Trump was a brilliant businessman who made so much money he had no need for being bought or corrupted by special interests. It always bullshit, sure, but it played. Not only to his most zealous supporters but to those who found him...
...funny or bizarrely refreshing, but more or less harmless and perhaps sort of OK. Maybe a CEO who figured out a way to scam the IRS and said any old thing that popped into his head was just what America needed.
