FFS. Its not “selective prosecution” where one is perfectly and explicitly legal, dumbass And literally everyone with money does it for both Democrats and Republicans. I think it’s hilarious that you ignore all the Republicans who also make large donations theorou SuperPacs amd who in fact invented it and fought in the courts to make it legal. You single out only the one guy who donated to democrats. That’s “selective prosecution” in the kangaroo court that is your brain. Dsouza was not a misdemeanour it was a felony. He was convicted of a felony. Stop lying As for proof here’s the ver first hit on Google The Republican megadonor funding the party’s 2022 hopes The GOP donor was the biggest contributor to Republicans' biggest super PACs in 2021. CHICAGO — The single biggest spender in Republican politics pumped more than $28 million into the GOP in 2021 — and he’s expected to multiply that number leading into the midterms. Ken Griffin, the founder and CEO of the hedge fund Citadel, was the largest individual donor last year to the GOP super PACs aiming to flip control of Congress, contributing $11 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund and $5 million to Senate Leadership Fund. He splashed another $5 million apiece into Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ PAC and into Honor Pennsylvania, a super PAC backing fellow hedge funder Dave McCormick — and opposing celebrity physician Mehmet Oz — in Pennsylvania’s GOP Senate primary, making Griffin the biggest individual donor to those two groups so far. https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2022/02/03/ken-griffin-donor-midterm-cash-00005052 And from 2020: Sheldon Adelson’s super PAC spending spree shaped GOP politics Adelson, who died Monday, combined with his wife to donate more to Republicans than multiple other megadonors combined. The Adelsons made $218 million in federal donations in 2019 and 2020 — over three times more than the next-biggest GOP donors, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. They accounted for more than one-quarter of all Republican outside spending on President Donald Trump’s behalf in this election: $90 million out of $353 million in total, per CRP. And over the last five years, the Adelsons gave $280 million to House and Senate Republicans’ main super PACs, supplying more than one-third of the funding for Congressional Leadership Fund and nearly one-quarter of Senate Leadership Fund’s total during that time, according to a POLITICO review of FEC data. Their total federal giving over the last decade topped a half-billion dollars. https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2021/01/12/adelson-super-pac-gop-458380 Did you read that last part? Half a BILLION DOLLARS, @Infidel Dog And finally here are the top 20 political donors from 2020, as you can see its overwhelmingly Republican donors. And, the top 2 Democrats (who were the biggest donors overall) are people who ran for president themselves and were simply donating to their own campaigns, not buying politicians (Bloomberg and Steyer) https://www.forbes.com/sites/michelatindera/2021/02/25/these-billionaire-donors-spent-the-most-money-on-the-2020-election/?sh=4a72e14a14ce2 points

Are homosexual natures created by nurture, nature, or God? I think the answer is is quite important as it would show us the cause/source of homosexuality. If God, as believers think, then why is God creating gays? Regards DL1 point

No, it's 21st century, remember? The process isn't a problem, solutions exist. But why change anything if all is working perfectly as is? For me. I would work if it has a meaning for me, hopefully with a modest, not necessarily outrageously f#$% obscene compensation (unless it's my private business, sure) and I'll have no problem opening and discussing my methods and results with the public and any other professionals. That only adds value to my work and helps me get better at it. How can it be wrong? The century is 21st, knock-knock. OK this can be important. I work with competent professionals and hopefully am myself. None of us has any problems presenting and discussing our work and results with other professionals and the public. That continuing adage of yours of "not trusting" is worrying me indeed. Why should I be trusting anyone with my purse, including our public one, blindly without any effective accountability? Why do you want to expect such blind trust? Is it the ingrained entitlement or you're not confident opening your results to others? Why else?1 point

The beaver cleaver watches way too much lefty liberal/democrat MSM. Why the Beaver despises Trump so much is beyond me. What did Trump ever do to the Beaver that makes him so hateful of Trump? Maybe one day he will tell us. ?1 point

Nothing will ever compare to CNN refusing to show video of M Brown violently robbing a store in the minutes before he got shot, and then perpetuating the "Gentle Giant" myth, and acting like there was no reason at all for cops to even approach him. Communities were destroyed and race relations were set back 50 years because of CNN's disinformation campaign. Of all the bullshit posts you ever wrote here, that is probably the most disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.1 point

That's all bullshit. Brionna rented a car the year before that turned up with a dead body in the trunk. She was involved with her ex as a drug dealer. Packages for him were still arriving at her house. They did identify themselves as police, her boyfriend at the time - the guy that shot one of them to start the gunfight - admitted that he thought that it was her ex pretending to be a cop when they knocked and said they were police. You don't know SFA after all this time because you're addicted to fake news sources, but don't let that stop you from running your mouth. The MSM gobbled up Smollett's story and made it national news, despite the fact that it was the dumbest story ever. He got to cry on national TV and make his stupid accusations. Uh-huh. The entire MSM ran with the story of Sandman being a smug, racist punk because he had his smiling face right above the drum of a First Nations man who was banging on it while singing. Turns out, Sandman was standing still while the guy walked up on him and beat the drum in his face. He was just a 17-yr-old kid attending a pro-life rally. Not a smug racist. Hillary's lawyer was still guilty of providing false evidence to the FBI (the Alfa Bank disinformation), he just didn't get charged with that. He was only charged with "failing to disclose to the FBI that he was working for Hillary when he brought them that disinformation." The reason that he wasn't found guilty is that he didn't really need to disclose it to the FBI - they already knew he was Hillary's boi because they all hung out together at the Perkins Coie office together (The Dems, FBI and Perkins Coie lawyers had a room at that law office to coordinate their witch hunts). Thanks for proving just how sucked in you are by MSM bullshit.1 point

The Traitor is a grifter, always has and always will be. All the crap he claims that he is running about his "Defense Fund" is just another scam, all that money is going into his pocket at the speed of light. He views his supporters as nothing more than an untapped bank which he will continuse to steal from until they (if ever they) wise up to his grift. He knows he lost in 2020, but he needs money and he needs a mark to get his money. Nothing more. Anyone who gives that grifter money would do better, as a CWO3 (Chief Warrent Officer 3rd Class, equal to a Captain in the commissioned ranks) once told me, "To get into a helicopter and open your wallet and the wind carry your cash". For all the noise about H.B. making money while Daddy is office, look no further to the Hundreds of Millions of Dollars Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr., and Eric made while the Traitor was in office. The only difference is that Biden is Democrat and the Traitor pretending to be a Republican. I say pretend because that is exactly what he is, a pretender. He has changed political parties more times than he has lied. His ego cannot stand being a loser, a huge freaking loser. His over developed sense of ego, coupled with his narcissitic personality cannot and will not accept that loss. The one thing is his negligent Dad hated were losers. Anyone and everyone who does believe that the Traitor won the election is unworthy...his own daughter and fellow grifter Ivanka is an example. As soon as she agreed with Barr, her dad kicked her under bus and into the gutter. It is that he wants to be president, it is that he wants to a winner. Winning is the thing matters to him and at no matter the cost1 point

Ahh...poor Beave. You put so much work into that all week I'm almost sorry I have to pop your bubble. But I do. As to what Zuckerberg did being "perfectly and explicitly legal"...not exactly. It differs by state but in Wisconsin, for example a Wisconsin Elections Commission found it was not "technically illegal" in December however in February... https://iotwreport.com/special-counsel-finds-zuckerbucks-violated-wisconsin-bribery-laws/ Now as to your Apples/Oranges comparison of Super Pacs to donations to 501c's. Here's the story on Super Pacs: https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/super-pacs/2020 The Zuckerbergs donated to nonprofit 501 c's. Here's the problem with donating to 501 c's when there's a political pretense: https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organizations/the-restriction-of-political-campaign-intervention-by-section-501c3-tax-exempt-organizations The way the Zucks and their 501c's got around that was they didn't donate to a specific campaign. They donated under the pretense of only wanting to help the electoral process. The Republican Super Pac donations you cite were made over time to support multiple specific targets. The Zuckerberg donations were a 1 time donation to corrupt the electoral process to work in favor of one candidate in a presidential election. I'm not sure if you understand what the Zuckerbucks actually did. Liz Wheeler explains:1 point

What positive changes do you have in mind? Who are you going to attract into government if you are not going to pay them accordingly? If we have PR, the minority of socialists and Max Bernier / poilievre reform types are going to skew the pragmatic direction the nation needs to take. 75 % of voters want a centre party made up of competant, pragmatic people. They do not want the Pat Kings or Judy Rebicks influencing government. (Disclaimer: Judy is a fine person with a keen intellect, but her ideas are based on ideology). If we have PR, we will be forced to vote for a party rather than some one we know from our neighbourhood. Then the party backroom boys appoint your MP, giving it as a reward for God knows what. Talk about accountability. My MP got his picture taken with some of the occupiers in Ottawa this winter. I felt he was giving in to extortion, so we had a productive 40 minute phone conversation over the issue. After it was over, I was satisfied and he retained my support. Would You be able to do that with an MP who is appointed by the unelected party brass who doesn't depend on your support to be re-appointed? My MP knows who I am and he knows the work his constituants do for him depends on his being accountable to us, not some unelected party aperatchik. You keep banging on about super accountability. Would you work for a boss who doesn't trust you and has a committee of efficiency experts and bean counters constantly looking over your shoulder? How do you accomplish that without another layer of government costing millions more dollars?1 point

Getting and keeping power is the goal of every political party. Nobody is going to invest their time and treasure into losing. By your own admission, you want a system to to what you want, but you want someone else to do the heavy lifting. Well, my friend, that is an abdication of your duty. You are all talk, mostly greek to me, but whining doesn't get it done. With you backing PR, we are guaranteed FPTP is safe from any reform. Sorry to be so blunt, but that is the way it is.1 point

It's what happens when you do something half assed instead of an all encompassing strategy like Portugal where they jail dealers and require mandatory treatment for addicts but without any criminal charges. No doubt our SC would rule mandatory treatment is a Charter violation, so we won't see much change.1 point

1. You didn't answer my question, so I assume that you have abandoned the assertion that I am in some cult. 2. War on Christmas anyone? FOX and Friends make money from perpetuating the culture war. 3. Trump was a paradigm change in Politics and a wholly negative one in the eyes of many, hence his low approval ratings.1 point

Realistically, our borders have been open and little actual work has been done to stop illegals crossing besides that which gets political points. What I mean by this is, even Trump just ramped up border patrol enforcement and tried to build a border wall, but he, like all other presidents, absolutely failed to go after businesses which hire illegals that provide the real incentive for illegals to come here in the first place. Also, I don't believe it's illegals driving the consumption, or demand, of fentanyl or other drugs; it's our political and economic corruption which is driving people into poverty and hopelessness.1 point

Watch Tuckers segment, it's now on you tube. Biden sent in his thugs to confiscate that diary it all makes sense now. Bidens hair sniffing and Hunters and Ashley's drug/alcohol abuse and sex addictions they were traumatized as children and where was Jill while all this was going on? There is no crime in possession of a diary, Joe wanted that diary at all cost, we have not seen a scandal like this of epic proportions in years.

Our PM and our MSM do though, all the time, and they know that they're lying when they do it. You support them when they do it. You even go so far as to pretend to see Nazi flags raised high, with a group of militant inbreds proudly strutting along behind it. "Oh yes Mr Prime Minister, I SAW IT TOO! It was terrifying. I can't sleep at night knowing that 50% of the population, including basically every cis-gender male cracker in the country, wants to lynch all the coloured folk." Why do yo do that? Why doesn't it bother you when they do it? Why are you so afraid to say that it's wrong when they do it? Sheeple much? Why do you hold Nationalist to a higher standard than the PM? Why do you hold Nationalist to a higher standard than the CBC? I think that's pretty weird. I'd expect more from the PM and the CBC than from random, anonymous internet poster. The difference should be night and day. And I guess it is, but the random internet poster is the one with the integrity.1 point

There are so many religions in the world. Their followers believe their religion in the only true one and you go to heaven ONLY if you believe in their religion and if not you go to hell. Muslims believe as strongly as yours that only believing in their way would open the door of heaven. So obviously people like Hitler, Stalin. Khomeini and Putin have to be severely punished for mass killings but here most religions don't speak of very evil ones to go to hell but anyone who refuses to believe in their faith or even deviated in a small way. That is many billions because they refused to believe in something they could not physically seen.1 point
