Foreign politicians getting fundraising emails from Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Politicians from foreign countries are receiving fundraising emails from Donald Trump's campaign even though such contributions would be a violation of federal law.

Members of parliament in Australia, Iceland, Denmark and Finland have all received the emails, according to Talking Points Memo.

Tim Watts, an Australian member of Parliament, said he has received several emails from the presumptive GOP presidential nominee's campaign and thinks his colleagues have as well.

"Even the left wing ones #ImWithHer," Watts tweeted, indicating support Trump's Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.

He then posted a screenshot of an email he received from the Trump campaign titled "They took their country back," referring to Britain's vote to leave the European Union last week.

2. Does Anyone Else Here Remember The Right's Hue And Cry Back in 1996?

Does anyone else remember the Radical Right's and the Republican Party's hue and cry about former Vice President Gore's allegedly laundering campaign donations from non-citizen Buddhist nuns back in 1996? The Right's howls of outrage about the supposededly deliberate violation of campaign finance laws went on for WEEKS!

And now Team Donald has solicited donations from non-citizen, non-resident potential donors across the seas and beyond our borders!

What do you expect that the same political propaganda organs that blasted their outrage 20 years ago are going to go silent about Team Donald's actions, leaving us to enjoy the stillness and the distant sound of chirping crickets?

The Right and the pundits of our corporate lame stream media like to make false equivalence so between Democratic and Republican corruption. While I don't doubt that there are corrupt Democrats, there is a real difference. Corrupt Democrats tend to do five and dime stuff; Republicans go for grand-scale, over-the-top sleaze.
