How convenient that the FBI/CIA & Federal Government got a “Guns, God and Fitness” leaker of confidential documents as they’re looking to pass the RESTRICT Act.  
 

I really want to believe this wasn’t staged and/or won’t be taken advantage of…

 

anddddd there it is…..

Nice find.  I guess they thought Biden would win and know he's against Medicare for all.  I don't believe D's are lily white when it comes to donations.  I'm happy to see them called out.  Now let's all agree to strict campaign contribution limits and rescinding Citizens united.  I'm betting filthy clarence will be on the wrong side however.

 

We can all agree on that.  Too bad the people that make the rules about campaign finance are fat, dumb, and happy with the way it is. I remember the last time Congress tackled campaign finance reform we ended up with Citizens United and Super PACs.  I don't have much hope.

 

However I do have a good IMHO idea to cut out a lot of money. Candidates can only accept money from people in their district.

A friend heard Tim Kaine speak at a small gathering recently.  He said he thought about not running this time for Senator and that he'd been offered a higher paying job in there private sector.  But he sees Youngkin having a narrow path to the presidency and if he loses in the primary he'll likely go after that senate seat.  Kaine is all in for the race in part because of that.

So when I was in med school, my wife was an assoc professor at Oberlin in Gym Jordan's district.  He wasn't a fascist congressman then.  The juxtaposition of smart, clever progressives at Oberlin and stupid unemployed losers in Elyria and Loraine was stark.  40 years later they haven't moved on or figured out that they're almost non existent skills are not valuable.  Meanwhile the Oberlin grads come back for alumni weekends every 10 years and live in gated communities in lovely places.  It just struck me that this was a microcosm of the nation way back then.  I do miss Antigone's whch was a great greek restaurant in Lorrainne...don't miss the losers blaming their failures on the winners.
