Can't wait to see how cocaine Mitch reacts publicly as he is a war hawk along with Lindsey. Taxpayer money going to fund the Dem party is a disgrace.

Worse than a disgrace, it's illegal. That's where we stand now as a society.

I'm sure this will bring down the whole Dem machine. Just like Russiagate, Seth Rich, Hunterand the 2020 election steal did. The DS really doesn't care about any of this. Now we can all start getting excited over 2024 and how a GOP Potus is going to make everything better.

If this is true and given the latest vote circus, I'm not sure it'll mean a hill of beans...sadly.

"Gonna be a lotta people digging."

It won't matter. Any actual investigative reporting that even tries to tie this to the Democrats and Ukraine will be "debunked", and then censored hard. The DoJ will do nothing, and if any state AG tries to start digging into it, the DoJ will open a case just to stop that investigation. If there is anything to this theory, it will be covered up with a hundred feet of lies made of concrete.

If some state AG were to start digging be assured he or she will have a sudden heart attack/car accident/fall out of a window. Then the corrupt DOJ/FBI will investigate the unfortunate AG not the sudden demise.

Ukraine has done an incredible job buying influence in the US. So I’m sure there are kickbacks for all the US Aid.

And $40 million was just the easily seen donations. I’m sure this is more in dark money donations.

Did Ukraine buy that standing ovation from the US Congress?

Have to say that right now I’m dejected, disgusted, disheartened and generally bummed out about the election and what it means for the country. But at least Lindsay Graham congratulated the Dems on a “well played game” and John Fetterman won, so we got that goin for us.

Oh yeh, I also failed to mention the great uproar that the Republicans are displaying over the dubious shenanigans that are going on during the deeelayyyed vote conjuring, er I mean counting. Yes sir, gotta admire all of the great patriotic energy that is on display in the Republican Party. Forgot to mention that I’m also feeling pretty sarcastic and a little snarky as well, so I kinda made up the last part of my comment.

Damn, what a fricken disaster…….

Meanwhile the Dems played the R’s and us like a fiddle and walked away with another election. Nothing will be done about this our lifetimes while our country goes down the drain. Tell trump to STFU

For politicians to steal millions they have to first steal billions for someone else.

Interesting read - and it mentions Blackrock was a major investor. Small world!

Interesting on his Mom:

Moreover, Fried, Sam's mom, is one of the co-founders of the political fundraising group Mind the Gap, which supports progressive political candidates and gives money to organizations that help people vote.

Isn't it? KD and Steve Sailer and complementary posts yesterday pointing out that, fundamentally, crypto is simply a Ponzi scheme. It attracts these types like sh*t attracts flies.
