I know several people who actually gave money to it.

Did they believe that $4.97MM was “almost halfway”?

The great experiment in practical Libertarianism has failed.

Unless you view it as 'no one wants a wall' then it was a great success!

This made me actually laugh out loud.

Considering it seem to be the case that neither of her parents are from the Indian subcontinent, would Senator Gabbard being a Hindu be a case of cultural appropriation?

Shortly after election:

F.B.I. Opened Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia

Meuller handles the investigation once the inquiry was opened.

Booker and Harris both looked awful in the Kavanaugh hearings. Left a really bad first impression with me. I'd read their stances and heard sound bites, but that was my first exposure of seeing them under the spotlight and I felt they both came off poorly.

Booker always looks like he's playing Obama in a high school stage production, and can't convincingly pull it off. sad.

To be clear, per a former Assistant Director of the FBI for Counter-Intelligence, this means the Bureau had evidence that suggested the worst case scenario was happening. Woohoo.

What is a 'Senator' Gabbard?

But to answer your question, it is probably no more so than owning firearms is an appropriation of Chinese culture. I'm not super versed on Hindi practices, so i don't know what geographic or cultural barriers there are to entering the faith.

I’m guessing a lot of circumstantial evidence. I’m about a third of the way through Seth abramsons book, he’s mostly detailing the extensive business ties and interactions trump had prior to the campaign. From a business stand point, it’s hard to argue that trump and Putin were interested in dumping Russian sanctions.
