        The ruling class really prefers if their stooges stay within the box they set. plus, mayors go down all the time - it’s a good zero calorie snack that soothes discontent about the immunity of the political class.

      Undoubtedly a dumb question, but what are these countries getting in exchange? I get that Israel is entrenched in our politics and has interest in maintaining that, but even for them there’s got to be a reason they wouldn’t just do this through AIPAC like every US politician.
