    Isn’t the max political donation supposed to be like $1300? I’m not looking to start a discussion about the specific loopholes they’re using to skirt that rule. I’m confident that would only be depressing. I just find it insane that it’s clear enough what is happening that a headline like this can be written without being cause for either a libel suit against the author or criminal campaign finance charges being brought against this billionaire. We’re all just like “yep, that’s where we are now”.

      Israeli-American billionaire Miriam Adelson has spent $95 million on her political action committee (PAC)

      The loophole is in the opening sentence though. We gotta ban pacs (difficulty god mode)

      Yep… America: land of the fee, home of the billionaire.

      A government of the corporation, by the corporation, for the corporation.

      :(

      Israel has a special exception.

      JFK tried to patch it and was assasinated before it was completed.

      In 2010 an unelected group of theocrats decided that the wealthy are allowed to spend as much money as they like on propaganda.

    Ok guys, so now I’m confused. Everyone here has been telling me that Trump and Harris are both the same with regards to Israel’s genocide? So surely this person gave to both sides, right?

      It’s so transparent. “Listen to the people impacted! Both sides are equally evil!” “Like listen to Uncommitted?” “No! Listen to the people who agree with me!”

      Also, even though they are “exactly the same” on this issue, it is illegal to consider other issues. Like Blood Libel against Haitians, whether or not it is okay to do insurrections, whether or not it is okay to execute political opponents as official acts, should we use the military on voters who vote wrong, etc. You aren’t allowed to consider those.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
