Alito - “Not true!”

So he gets millions (that we know of) in donations, is fined $178,000 and only has to pay $38,000.

White politicians’ justice.

Speaking of former governors, Tom Vilsack ( Iowa) won $150,000 with a Powerball ticket last week. He is VP of Dairy management Inc. His salary is a few hundred dollars short of a million annually.

In 2017, a year in which more than 500 dairy farms closed in Wisconsin, and 1,600 were shuttered nationwide, IRS records showed the top 10 executives at the organization were paid more than $8 million — an average of more than $800,000 each, the Journal Sentinel found.

Because the witness was reluctant, her ex-husband brought all of this to light, and new St. Louis City prosecutor was new-but her worst crime is that she’s black.

You can’t win if you don’t play. And the quiet part which no one want’s to admit is you can’t make big buck if you don’t know the “right” people.

It’s funny how illegal campaign shenanigans benefit Rethugliklans 99.99% of the time. In fact, I think I’m starting to recognize a pattern.

Imagine if subverting democracy were treated the same way as as selling individual cigarettes.

I live in Missouri. Doesn’t surprise me. When he had his trial, he was ready to fight everyone, and embarrass his wife and family. And then a judge ruled he had to disclose his donors. He closed up shop, accepted leaving office. The only thing he wouldn’t do is identity who bankrolled him.

No doubt he was dealing with some shady people and trying to hide it.
