Do we really think that they just ‘gave’ their mailing lists to these various campaigns? Surely one jests. I would venture to guess that they were selling the lists (especially since they were going to numerous GOP candidates.)

Trump support? Hell - he clearly thinks charity should be run to self-enrich. It’s how he operates. Now his ‘charity’ is the US Treasury Dept.

Basically, the Asshole-elect is saying fuck you to journalists and campaign regulators, knowing that the campaign laws are toothless. Sad.

Even if it loses its tax exempt status, it can just reform under another name.

Meanwhile I think the new tax bill now allows churches to get involved politically. The vampire squid
tentacles are everywhere.

There is not one single activity of the conservative movement that is legal or moral.

A foundation promoting social good? The entire movement exists to oppose all forms of welfare.

(Matthew)Petersen is a member of the Federal Election Commission, where he served with White House counsel Donald McGahn, who reportedly was behind Petersen’s nomination.

Well one looks at the quality of the hires at the FEC it’s no wonder they’re toothless. Just take a look at Petersen’s performance at his confirmation hearing as proof.

So Trump is signalling to investigators and courts how he wants those charges to be treated. More obstruction of justice?

Nah, Putin’s Asset doesn’t know shit. Even if campaign laws were strong and frequently enforced, he still would have tweeted that out - because he’s a reckless narcissist with no filters who can’t stop himself from gloating and smirking.

Democrats and, more generally, people who believe that governments have a fundamental obligation to provide aid to people in times of crisis, need to make sure to add this to Trump’s long and beautiful list:

Sadly, the Fake Mainstream Media will NEVER talk about our accomplishments in their end of year reviews.

On the contrary - I hope the MSM will blast out the story for a year about tax cuts for billionaires who already pay no taxes.

I believe that provision about churches actually didn’t make it into the final bill. Small comfort, but it’s something.
