Is this meant to end with "as it was not in this case. [emphasis added]"? It seemed like you were going to go on go analyze this quote but the article just ends. Is there an error, or will there be a part 2?

My understanding is that the US has previously bullied a number of countries into passing laws requiring them to cooperate with the US government on banking matters, under the auspices of fighting money laundering. Idk if any country would be willing to stick out their necks for Musk.

Even if they TRIED to do an op like this it would inevitably degrade into an actual fight. They don't have the restraint to see themselves insulted this way even if they knew it was fake

listening to what you're saying, and reporting back to the streaming company, and the company that made the TV. These days the TV really is watching you, and the data it collects can be sold to advertisers, to the government, to foreign governments, to stalkers - anyone.

Something like "I remember when I was growing up, an old Cold War-era joke had blown up into a bit of a meme. It went, 'In Soviet Russia, TV watches you!'.
It doesn't really work as a joke anymore, does it? Nowadays Smart TVs are keeping track of what you're watching,

While this isn't a slogan, I think the old "In Soviet Russia, TV watches you!" joke could be used as an anchor point to remind people that we didn't used to be ok with our devices surveilling us.

That is a folk etymology and unserious. If you actually check m-w's entry for "pussy", you'll see that it's considered more likely to descend from an Old Germanic word, as evidenced by cognates in other Germanic languages, e.g. Norse "pūss" (pocket), and Low German "pusē" (vulva).

Your own source agrees. The words are about young people swinging more right than usual (for young people), ages 45-64 still voted for Trump the most of the given age demographics.

It really needs to be pointed out. As someone who has been to actions up to and inculdiong the uprising here in 2020 I have never seen every officer wearing fake name badges all with the name “the others” instead of their actual names.

I could believe it if it were like, "I was bent over and he sat up quickly and got me in the eye with the back of his head"
But "I asked him to punch me"? What the hell?
