more democrat sleaziness.

Quote:
An explosive report from The New York Times this week outlines how a Swiss billionaire has become a top player in influencing U.S. politics in a manner that helps Democrat politicians win elections even though it is not clear whether the individual is a U.S. citizen.

The report said that Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss has donated massive amounts of money “though a daisy chain of opaque organizations that mask the ultimate recipients of his money.”
to pre-empt leftist squealing about the source - the NYT link is right there in the story.

Looks like you beat me OP. . The definition of election interference. There's a reason I say we need to strip all money from politics. This is something lefties would have agreed with me on 30 years ago but now that they are the establishment it's all crickets when I bring it up.

The truth is both sides are addicted to the federal reserve's heroin and neither want to give it up, including joe voter who gets his free stuff or watches his stock values go up at all the bubbles being blown up. Enjoy your heroin. Withdraw is going to be a *****.

This shows the lengths the democrats will go to hide and cover up their hypocrisy. From one hand they hold a sign saying "stop dark money from campaigns" while the other accepts and spends more than republicans. This is classic democrats!

"The report comes as Democrats have pushed to rein in dark money in politics, despite the fact that they spent more than double the amount of dark money that Republicans did — $514 million vs. roughly $200 million — during the 2020 election cycle."
All dark money needs to stop immediately.

Did he/they do anything illegal?

If not, the root of your problem lies somewhere besides the Swiss billionaire....

Citizens United also needs to go.

So do lobbyist.

Blaming one side and giving the other a pass is counterproductive. Things go in cycles, And by areas. And whose ox is being gored. a pox on all of them.
