U.S. Supreme Court loosens political campaign finance restrictions

The Goldman Sachs (and especially to whom it donates) is especially revealing.

Damn, look at ActBlue, the perfect scam.

Donate anonymously through the web. Who the fuck knows how many big names and rich donors used ActBlue to fund millions to the democratic party in order to circumnavigate the campaign finance laws. 99% of ActBlue goes to Democrats, hilarious.

I've got a scam I've been working on that will benefit from this.

What we gotta do is find a congressional district that leans heavy one way, get one of us on the ballot, hire Tuth as our head of PR, then start trolling the party into giving the campaign millions.

The U.S. Supreme Court today continued a recent trend of loosening political campaign finance restrictions. People can now donate much more money to a politician, whereas before the law had prohibited donations over a certain amount from individual people.

It's not really a recent trend. This trend stretches back at least to Buckley v. Valeo in 1976.

This ruling isn't really as big as people are making it out to be. Citizens United was of much more importance.
