George Nader, the Mueller probe witness currently facing child porn and trafficking charges, was publicly accused Tuesday of funneling $3.5 million in fraudulent donations to groups supporting Hillary Clinton’s candidacy for president in 2016.
Obviously the underlying issue is the scourge of big money, and the influence it buys, in politics. The solution, absent any kind of Constitutional amendment that overturns decades of Supreme Court rulings, is candidates who don’t rely on big money donors to fund their campaigns…
They must be having a party over at FOX - the muddied water has just exploded. This is all we are going to hear about until the next election from the right wing media.
In 1991 Nader was convicted of transporting child pornography. He’s pleaded not guilty to more recent charges of transporting child porn as well as transporting a 14-year-old boy to the United States in 2000 with intent to engage in sexual activity, and is currently awaiting trial in custody.
I am not surprised that Donald Trump is pals with such a distinguished NAMBLA member.
Perhaps the only reason Nader isn’t a corpse in federal custody right now is that Bill Barr didn’t think Nader’s child molestation involves Trump. I wouldn’t take that wager, though. Trump displays every vice for which we have a name; you can bet your training wheels that he has personally done unspeakable things to vulnerable people.
Of course Barr would want this out today. We should always expect this sort of distraction. Still, I hate it when Democrats make it easy for Republicans to lay smoke.
Democrats must be better to do better.
Are you familiar with the dictum ‘the exception that proves the rule.’ It applies here. You accept it or you legislate it out of existence. There is no third way.
There is a Third Way. Third Way is the organization that has convinced you that there is no other way but to sell out to billionaires and corporations. And it’s no longer a rule; it’s now opinion espoused by the cynical that was smashed to pieces in 2016 and 2018. Sanders and Warren are running on a platform that appeals to the great, unwashed masses, inspiring great enough numbers of them to part with a portion of what little disposable cash and time they have left after 40 years of Wall Street-owned politicians screwing them, allowing them to not just merely be in the race, but to be competitive and resourced enough to win the nomination. So the real exception that proves the real rule is Mike Bloomberg, the guy who, for all intents and purposes, has unlimited resources, but because his platform is shit he will never break out of low single digits in the polls…
Mike Bloomberg may very well be a poor enough candidate to offset the sizable advantage his personal fortune affords him. But that hardly makes your point. Money can turn on a dime and drive your dick in the dirt. Don’t kid yourself.
Hey, you’re not wrong there. Look at every single Top Tier Dem who has dropped out so far. They relied on the Big Bucks, and when Wall Street decided somebody else was the new Flavor of the Month they went bye bye…
