Yeah, seems silly to give a building that address....makes you wonder.....
Nice one North Dakota...it’s not like the NAME OF YOUR STATE IS NATIVE AMERICAN!
They recently have disenfranchised all Native Americans from voting there by passing a law stating a physical postal address must exist (no PO Box).
Except that the USPS doesn’t deliver on Native lands.
So they can’t register.
Wow...way to screw them over again and again GOP!

Did Israeli spy firm help Trump win presidency?
Ali Abunimah Lobby Watch 9 October 2018
A report in The New York Times this week reveals details of a multimillion dollar scheme by a now defunct Israeli spy firm to use social media manipulation and fake online identities in a sophisticated effort to sway the 2016 election in favor of Donald Trump.
Trump eventually secured his party’s nomination and went on to win the US presidency but it is unclear if Psy-Group, a firm staffed by former Israeli intelligence agents, gave him a boost.
The company’s former CEO Royi Burstien previously commanded an Israeli psychological warfare unit.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Burstien lives in a settlement in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and held several senior intelligence posts with the Israeli government between 2003 and 2013. He now markets himself as an “intelligence-based influence expert.”
Psy-Group has also reportedly been involved in the Israeli government’s covert campaign against the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement for Palestinian rights.
Back in May, the Times reported that three months before the 2016 election, Psy-Group owner Joel Zamel and an emissary for two powerful Gulf princes had met with one of Trump’s sons to talk about ways to help the Trump campaign.
“The emissary, George Nader, told Donald Trump Jr. that the princes who led Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were eager to help his father win election as president,” the Times reported.
“The social media specialist, Joel Zamel, extolled his company’s ability to give an edge to a political campaign; by that time, the firm had already drawn up a multimillion-dollar proposal for a social media manipulation effort to help elect Mr. Trump.”
“There is no evidence that the Trump campaign acted on the proposals,” the Times states in its latest report.
Suspicious payment
But the paper notes that Nader and Zamel “have given differing accounts over whether Mr. Zamel ultimately carried out the social media effort to help the Trump campaign and why Mr. Nader paid him $2 million after the election, according to people who have discussed the matter with the two men.”
The special counsel investigation run by Robert Mueller into alleged foreign interference in the 2016 US election has shown “keen interest” in the payment, according to the Times.
“It is unclear how and when the special counsel’s office began its investigation into Psy-Group’s work, but FBI agents have spent hours interviewing the firm’s employees,” the newspaper states.
“This year, federal investigators presented a court order to the Israel Police and the Israeli Ministry of Justice to confiscate computers in Psy-Group’s former offices in Petah Tikva, east of Tel Aviv.”
In May, Bloomberg reported that Mueller’s team was inquiring about “flows of money into the Cyprus bank account” of Psy-Group.

i went to the OP to try and see what exactly this topic is but it doesn't really say
so going by the heading of the thread 'my idiot president' the point of the thread seems to be about showing why the president is an 'idiot' but that would be a subjective thing wouldn't it?
so you might say he was an idiot for sleeping with a porn star but i might think he's stupid for being israels puppet
so can you clear this up and define exactly what the topic of this thread is?
are we allowed to bash trump in anyway that doesn't relate to israel? for example are you saying we can claim trump colluded with russia without any proof but not say he colluded with israel when there IS proof of that?
sorry , you are correct, I lost track of what thread I was in...mea culpa. and I do believe the Israelis have been meddling in US elections for decades.
