insufferable
You wouldn't know the players, they go to a different school.
What's really crazy is that via PACs and the like, the politicians themselves could not even know what corporations sponsor them.

Hmm, I seem to recall US Intelligence swearing that Saddam Hussein definitely had WMDs and was definitely about to use them on his own people and we definitely needed to invade Iraq to stop him.

You hate to defend Trump, but that's absolutely fucked. As far as I know you can't refuse a mugshot, so you're essentially compelled to release the rights to your likeness if you're charged with a crime.

Japan, you were supposed to deliver us to our train powered future, not leave us in Tesla tunnels.
