I’ve got some bad news for you about the history of those cliches.

Uber is a bad faith actor, their business model is entirely monopoly-seeking. If they’re trying to expand into bus routes, the goal will be to reduce the choices available to just Uber.

I’m borrowing.

You can keep it! I don’t need it back.

It was so clear that these stooges were only there to violate trump’s gag order on his behalf. Of course he edited their speeches. Imagine how embarrassing it must be to have a senile dullard who can’t string a sentence together correcting you when you already lie for a living.

This is a violation of trump’s gag order since it’s just johnson acting as a ventriloquist’s dummy for trump, so the speaker can shore up support on his right.

The middle east, it’s energy resources and trade links are vital to the stability of the ‘rules based order’ - what washington calls the US empire. Israel is a vital partner in this region. They need our security architecture to exist and we benefit greatly from having a dependable and depend ally supporting our imperial presence. Israel knows how important they are to US imperial policy in the region.

There are also strong cultural and person-to-person ties between the US and Israel. The US received a steady influx of Europe’s Jewish population, fueled in part by frequent 19th and (notably) 20th century pogroms. US Jews vote Democrat by ~3:1 - 71% D vs 26% R since 1968. Republicans have apocalyptic Christians in their base who support Israel for bonkers Revelations reasons, but the image of the US as a glorious crusader attacking infidel Arabs still resonates with the wider christian base as well.

The only thing Israel ‘has’ on the US is the reality of US foreign policy and domestic politics.

This is the most obviously made up piece of Russian disinformation I’ve ever heard (excluding anything said by Medvedev, of course).
