Republican billionaire donors dump far more money into elections than Democrat billionaire donors.

 

 

Now for the facts

From Forbes Our breakdown records 83 billionaires supporting Harris and 52 backing Trump.

A greater number of billionaires donating does not necessarily equate to a greater amount of money donated. 

 

It is quite possible that the donations of 52 donors equal more money than the donations of 83 donors. 

 

The Forbes quote says nothing about the total money donated. 

 

You very well may be correct but the quotation you offer does nothing to support or counter your premise.

Number of billionaires isn't the same thing as amount of money, STOOOOOOOPID.

Then prove that that Republicans receive more money from billionaires


Honestly I think the the court decided correctly in the campaign finance case. 

 

Whether I think it's a good idea to allow unlimited donations, or not. Or whether or not I think there should be limits is completely irrelevant as to whether or not I think the case was decided properly. 

 

The Constitution does not grant the federal government the power to regulate donations. Therefore, any attempt to do so is unconstitutional. 

 

I don't want the court deciding issues based on whether or not they think they are good ideas. I don't want the court trying to decide what they think is best. I want them to rule on constitutionality alone.

Republican donations to Democrat donations: 5 to 1 ratio.

 

STOOOOOOOOOPID Tom.

If SCOTUS restricted its rulings to those matters specifically mentioned in the Constitution, then they'd be able to take eleven out of every twelve months off. It might be good if they put that check on themselves, but they don't and never have.

 

There have been over a dozen cases just during the Second Turd Reign when they bestowed some new power on the Turd that the Constitution doesn't say he has. Therefore, that's not one of their criteria for a decision, thought they will generally obey the Constitution if it specifically prohibits something. 

 

This case was crafted in order to expand Republican political power by removing restraints on propaganda funding. The result will be that in 2028, the airwaves, billboards, internet, etc. will be inundated with Republican attack ads. They've already said that will be their go-to strategy: defamations, insults, and just making shit up about their opponents.

 

The campaign finance limits were meant to level the playing field. Now, the party with the most money automatically wins. And we'll have to listen to six months of babble about people eating cats, or something even more stupid.

 

Start humming the fascist song; it'll be the number one hit very, very soon. Everybody enjoy America's last election!

Ah, but where does it end?  

 

If the mother is flying Zimbabwe Air over the USA and squeezes out a kid, are they citizens?  

 

How about in orbit, the birthing person has a child while the station flies over hawaii?  American kid, stay off my Island Hoale! 

 

Heck, what about some kid born in Elon City on Mars from a Musk Egg and the city aligns with Podunk Nebraska and Jupiter... is she now American, Martian AND Jupitarian?

 

Gosh, why not?  I fully support my Martian siblings even if they are all named Elon, Elona, and Elotaco.

It ends when the Constitution ends.

 

That will doubtless be soon, as the Trump fascist gang tightens and solidifies its grip, but not just yet.

 

Oh, and to answer your question, American airspace is sovereign US territory, and birthright citizenship applies. So I guess you'll have to be hiding at the airport with your RPG, prepared to shoot the plane down. Maybe you can appear on Hannity's show afterward.
