23. Money AND illegitimacy???

Mon May 28, 2018, 11:03 PM

May 2018

Honestly “swimming in dirty money” is too far beyond the public facts right now even for me. Could be true. But I’m withholding judgement.

On the other hand we know that our election was unfairly influenced and that the GOP Senate majority is thus likely illegitimate. That’s a HUGE deal.

Maybe it’s both dirty foreign money and an illegitimate GOP Senate. After all we know there is a ton of legalized-political-bribery dark money that goes to Republicans from their billionaire donors. But until we get more facts I’m focusing on Illegitimate Toomey, Blunt, and Johnson.
