A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights โ€” ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

ICYMI: Tennessee gave out nearly $1 BILLION through the corporate tax handout. Gov. Lee touts โ€œtransparencyโ€, but we canโ€™t know who got what because of how the law is written โ€” including his own Lee Company.

Yet they refuse to repeal the grocery tax. www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...
