Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

this only "effectively" eliminates superpacs

meaning it makes it easier for people to donate directly and people will know you did, but still allows you to donate to superpacs if you don't want people knowing what you're doing

Take away the "you can still donate to super pacs" part and it technically makes things more transparent.

I mean, I can't objectively see the difference between "I donated 6,000,000" and "I donated 6,000,000 to an organization so that they do this " except for plausible deniability and the ability for my money to not be used for the purpose I wanted.

I mean, this is a dumb half-measure and we should just go whole hog and say "no donations" but that might gently caress grassroots movements in the rear end.

He'll pay off one of his darker skinned basketball buddies to sit in for him and nobody will notice the difference.

then let me make an addendum to my post, in that a law getting rid of superpacs and encouraging fully disclosed direct donations to the candidate, would only make sense if there were laws put in place that would make it illegal for outside groups (superpacs) with undisclosed donors to spend money on elections.

I realize that's extremely unlikely because then you are really getting into anti-free speech if some citizens get together and form something like the "Citizens for electing shitheads to congress" and the law prevents them from spending money independently on a candidate. And unfortunately if someone and their idiot friends want to get together and pay for a billboard to help elect shitheads to congress, that's their right.

yeah that's okay/better, but not what's happening; not that i'm like getting onto you about it or accusing you necessarily but i think a lot of people are seeing "eliminates superpacs" and "disclosure" without realizing this changes nothing other than making it easier for individuals to contribute to a candidate without adding difficulty/transparency when it comes to superpac contributions

Obama has natural comedic timing, and a very good sense of humor. He often uses self-deprecating humor, something that DJT is not capable of.

the difference being when you donate money to a candidate, your name is listed on the FEC website

when you donate money to a superpac there are ways so that your name can never be linked to that superpac or any of its activies

the former is good and should stay, but the latter is bad and should not, but this bill does nothing to the latter

Attorney General will be a guy too racist to be a judge.

Secretary of State will be a guy who needs permission from police to leave his house.

Secretary of Transportation will be an Asian lady who is stereotypically a bad driver.

Trump is the greatest comedian that ever lived!
