NSSF won’t hold our collective breath waiting on U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) to issue even a whisper of a statement blasting Michael Bloomberg’s latest move with breathless hysteria as “corrupt” and a “threat to democracy.” After all, the two are gun control bedfellows.
But Sen. Whitehouse’s staunch stands against “dark money” groups trying to buy influence will prove again to be glaring hypocrisy and yet another case of a politician forcing one-sided standards against opponents.
Michael Bloomberg, the failed presidential candidate and former New York City mayor, who also funds the gun control groups Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action, is throwing more of his chump change at Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign in the last week of the election to try and buy more gun control seats in Washington, D.C., and hopefully The White House.
His latest gift amounts to $50 million, on top of several million he’s already donated. Sen. Whitehouse hasn’t said a thing.
Couch Cushion Donation
Bloomberg’s net worth is reportedly north of $104 billion – that’s with a “B.” After all, he spent more than $1 billion himself in 2019 and 2020 during his failed Democratic presidential campaign and then to support eventual President Joe Biden. Throwing millions of dollars at his pet project causes doesn’t dent his pocketbook.
Bloomberg, after noticeable hesitation in backing Vice President Harris’ campaign, jumped in again at the last minute to provide a shot in the arm over the final week.
Bloomberg announced he was giving another $50 million to help the vice president become president, but not directly to the Harris-Walz campaign.
Forbes reported Bloomberg instead gave his pocket change donation to Future Forward USA Action. That’s a group Forbes describes as “the so-called dark money arm of the pro-Harris Future Forward super PAC that, as a nonprofit, is not required to report its donors.” You know -a “dark money” group Sen. Whitehouse rails against.
Sen. Whitehouse, for his part, decried Senate Republicans just a couple years ago for receiving support from “megadonors and secretive special interests” that “protect the most corrupting force in American politics — dark money.” Where’s Sen. Whithouse’s outrage now?
This donation now isn’t Bloomberg’s first money drop of the 2024 campaign, though. He’s already given $47 million in federally disclosed political contributions this election cycle, including $19 million to President Biden’s main super PAC, which Harris took over, and $10 million to the House Democratic campaign arm, according to the Forbes report.
Hypocrisy Abounds
The dark-money hypocrisy by Sen. Whitehouse isn’t alone. Bloomberg himself is a case study that should be taught in graduate school political science courses. His gun control wishes are well known and go back decades. He founded the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) in 2006 during his first term as the mayor of New York City. He immediately caused some big problems.
Bloomberg unlawfully co-opted protected firearm trace data from the New York City Police to prepare a lawsuit against the firearm industry and ordered private investigators to conduct “sting” operations of out-of-state firearm retailers – without the knowledge of ATF or even his own police commissioner.
The result was disastrous. Bloomberg interfered with as many as 18 ongoing criminal investigations, jeopardizing the lives of law enforcement officers, informants, witnesses and others. The ATF was forced to pull agents out of the field for their own protection. The Department of Justice (DOJ) investigated the actions of the mayor’s private investigators and admonished the city against engaging in similar conduct because it could “interrupt or jeopardize ongoing criminal investigations.”
Fast forward to his failed presidential campaign and Bloomberg’s “holier than thou” mentality was on full display, clearly demonstrating why his campaign flamed out.
During a Fox News Town Hall, Bloomberg fielded an audience question regarding his strict gun control platform and questioning why he supported gun control for others while enjoying private armed security. “Does your life matter more than mine, or my family’s or these people’s?”
Bloomberg’s answer went over like a lead balloon. He dismissively responded, “Alright, look… I probably get 40 or 50 threats every week… That just happens when you’re the mayor of New York City, or very wealthy, or campaigning for the president of the United States. You’re gonna get lots of threats.” So yes, Bloomberg believes his life is more valuable than that of everyday Americans.
Landscape’s Changed
Since the last presidential election in 2020, the political landscape has changed and the calculus has too, specifically regarding the population of gun owners in America. In the four years after Bloomberg’s own presidential attempt went down in flames, more than 22.3 million Americans decided the Second Amendment was right for them and went to a firearm retailer to purchase a firearm – for the first time.
Skyrocketing crime drove much of those sales, which included the most diverse population of gun purchasers in history. In fact, the fastest-growing demographic of new gun owners over the past four years has been African American women.
One Real Clear Policy column, however, summed up why the shifting landscape could mean Bloomberg and his millions could come up empty yet again.
“As more left-leaning Americans become gun owners, they may develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for firearm rights… As firearms become tools of self-defense for an increasingly diverse population, the evolving demographics of gun ownership may well reshape the national conversation on this vital issue for years to come.”
With only days until Election Day, it’s crucial that all gun owners and Second Amendment supporters make it to the polls and #GUNVOTE so they don’t risk their rights. If they do, Micheal Bloomberg and Sen. Whitehouse could be left crying in their pillows again.
MinorIrritant will be along shortly to tell us that this is just free citizens, (Soros, Gates, Bloomberg, et al) exercising their First Amendment rights.
Oh, except for Elon with his million dollar a day lottery – that’s just blatant election tampering… the DOJ even said it “may be” illegal, or at least it will be when they’re done with their unique interpretation.
“Alright, look… I probably get 40 or 50 threats every week… That just happens when you’re the mayor of New York City, or very wealthy, or campaigning for the president of the United States. You’re gonna get lots of threats.”
Millions of people get “probably get 40 or 50 threats every week”, who are not “the mayor of New York City, or very wealthy, or campaigning for the president of the United States”, they just don’t know it. For every 6 hours a person spends in public view in an urban city they are targeted at least three times by a ‘criminal element’ as the potential victim of a violent crime. It changes to even more ‘targeting’ the larger the city is, just as an example, for the average person going to and from work in New York city they are targeted as a potential victim of a violent crime by a ‘criminal element’ at least 12 times for every 6 hours they spend in public view (even if in a vehicle, i.e. their own car, bus, subway).
I feel like I have read this article before…..feels very familiar…..oh wait, I know! It was posted on SNW 2 days ago.
40 cal, I see you on both sites. Got a preference or general thoughts on which one you prefer?
In general, my thoughts are comments are better here (not necessarily the system), but the content is better there.
What do we have here. A filthy rich white guy. The face of the democrat party. soros. gates. zuckerberg. I could go on.
The dems are the party of the wealthy whites. And they are importing a fresh wave of slaves through our southern border. Wage slaves.
A filthy rich white guy. The face of the Republican Party.

You call it dark money, how could it be dark money when Michael Bloomberg himself announced the $50 million donation publicly?

By Leo Kamin, Contributor”
I never called it ‘dark money’. And you did not address the wage slaves being imported by the wealthy white dems.
So you are ok with your side being bought out by wealthy whites but somehow it is wrong for the other side to have the same? Our wealthy whites are trying to stop your fascism.
stalin, mao, hitler, harris/biden have all used their .gov to attack their opposition.
Or are you just commenting here to satisfy your masters demands?
Given how vitriolic most of your responses are, one could speculate you are on the payroll of the elite billionaires using MAGA dupes in their attempt to take control of America away from ‘We The People’.
Fortunately, American patriots in our jurisprudence system continue to hold you folks accountable at the bar of justice, here’s a recent event I find most satisfying:
“Kenneth Chesebro Disbarred In New York
Another former Trump lawyer pays the piper after spreading election misinformation
Aaron Parnas22 hours ago
Kenneth Chesebro, a former attorney for former President Donald Trump, has been disbarred in the state of New York after state bar officials found that Chesebro violated his oath as an attorney by spreading election misinformation alongside Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump, and others.
Chesebro previuosly was under indictment in Georgia and faced the possibility of years in Georgia state prison for his role in being the “architect” of the 2020 fake electors plot. In October of 2023, Chesebro pled guilty in Georgia to one count in the indictment, a felony, which led to his disbarment today.”
“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them”
Matthew 7:20
Listening to an atheist quoting verse is like listening to a virgin talk about sex.
like dancing about architecture.
I actually predicted Miner’s response to this, but my comment was evidently shit-canned… as it happens to a number of us on here, I’m starting to think that us joking about him being a majority investor of the site isn’t all that far-fetched.
It’s hilarious… the troll atheist Miner49er using a bible verse out of its context, to post out of context responses with his mental illness TDS, to falsely claim out of context, to post false assertions to express his left-wing mind-virus programming and radical violent left wing rhetoric.
And, again, you dodged the content.
Not dodging anything, you posted:
“The dems are the party of the wealthy whites“
I posted 20 names of elite white billionaires supporting Donald Trump’s MAGA mob. There’s not enough room on the forum for the elite millionaires supporting Donald Trump.
The open border allowing underpaid and exploited illegals into this country? Wage slaves.
Listing wealthy people that support Trump does NOT disprove wealthy people supporting Democrats. Do you understand that? Apparently not.
@Dude
No, he doesn’t understand that. He doesn’t know what context means.
Remember that time a former Democrat POTUS lost his law license due to unethical behavior (and to avoid felony indictment)? But let’s celebrate some Republican lawyer, that no one has ever heard of, losing his law license. Weird.
And what is miner bragging on? People being punished for not telling the absolute truth? Or the states version of the truth.
miner is actually bragging on being a fascist.
“But let’s celebrate some Republican lawyer, that no one has ever heard of“
I think most Citizens who care about America know exactly who Kenneth Cheeseboro is, most of us are familiar with all of Donald Trump’s merry band of conspirators.
This is another one of your exercises in false equivalence.
Bill Clinton’s license was suspended because he settled the claim of sexual harassment against a private citizen before he was president.
Kenneth Cheeseboro was a co-conspirator with Donald Trump in a multi-spoke conspiracy to subvert the will of the people in a seditious conspiracy to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.
Why should anyone be upset about Bill Clinton’s adultery, Donald Trump is a triple adulterer who confessed to multiple sexual assaults and yet I hear no condemnation of him from the conservatives, most of whom claim his private life has nothing to do with his ‘public service’.
To his credit, Bill Clinton never filed lawsuits claiming any sort of immunity, his attorneys negotiated in good faith and he settled with the victim.
You’re getting your Bill Clinton scandals mixed up. Yes, he settled out of court with one of the many women of his life that wasn’t his wife. That isn’t why he lost his license. Yes, his license was suspended. That wasn’t what I was talking about, either. Then he was going to face a felony indictment and permanently lose his license. Instead of trying to fight something he was guilty of, he had to surrender his law license forever. How embarrassing.
“Why should anyone be upset about Bill Clinton’s adultery…”
I never said anything about adultery. That wasn’t the unethical behavior I was referring to. Adultery falls under the category of immoral. Although, unethical behavior would be having your adulterous fling while you’re supposed to be working for American citizens, like say in the Oval Office. You’re the one on here constantly moralizing about Trump committing adultery. You only care about adultery when it’s a Republican. Same story, different day. You have no principles outside of partisanship.
“You’re the one on here constantly moralizing about Trump committing adultery. You only care about adultery“
I only call out the adultery because you folks called out Bill Clinton for his adultery, remember all the shouts about ‘character counts!’.
Boy, that standard went out the window with philanderer Donald Trump’s ascension to the throne of the MAGA crowd. Talk about your flip-flop…
The real problem is Donald Trump‘s sexual assault confession, and Lordy, there are tapes.
Not to mention the fact that he was adjudicated by jury of his peers and the judge as a rapist.
Even setting that aside, we have his conspiracy to disrupt the certification of our president during a joint session of Congress, with the intention of executing his false elector scheme and unlawfully seizing power.
Really, there’s the rub.
You’re right minor, Trump should have just responded with the silly-assed answer of … ” It depends on what your definition of is is.”
Chopped Word Salad
“…you folks called out Bill Clinton for his adultery…”
Are you speaking to me? Why would you assume that? I think adultery is very bad. However, I didn’t freak out over Clinton’s White House affair with an intern. I thought it was worse than the typical adulterous affair because 1) it was with an intern, and 2) it was the sitting president inside the White House! It was an international embarrassment. It was probably the tipping point that didn’t get Al Gore elected. But it was not a shock to me because I don’t put politicians on pedestals.
Furthermore, I despised Republicans back then. I sort of still do, but they’re better than the alternative. Stop projecting your extreme partisanship on everyone else. By the way, I supported Perot. Imagine how well off we would be right now if we had carried his economic ideology forward from the 90s.
“…he was adjudicated by jury of his peers and the judge as a rapist.”
Factually incorrect. Thank you for advertising, once again, just how misinformed you are. She said Trump raped her. The jury said that he did not. The jury said she lied about that. If she lied about that, then how could anything else be believed with zero proof of anything? Easy. It was a get Trump operation. Most Democrats with half a brain can understand that, even if they won’t admit it.
I’d support Democrats too, if I believed the propaganda. They don’t tell you the truth because they know their electorate is easily manipulated. Don’t you find that offensive?
“…and unlawfully seizing power. Really, there’s the rub.”
Well then, I have some good news for you. Trump used legal channels to contest the 2020 election. Educate yourself. Remind me again, did he unlawfully seize power, or did he leave office when he was supposed to? Rewriting history, are we? Your silly propaganda doesn’t work on everyone. Stop projecting.
On the contrary, Trump’s election lawyers and the contingent electors followed the precise approach Democrats successfully used when the date Congress established for certifying an election came before the legal challenges John F. Kennedy had brought in Hawaii were decided.
“She said Trump raped her. The jury said that he did not. The jury said she lied about that“
Total mischaracterization of the legal case and outcome.
“Judge says E Jean Carroll allegation Trump raped her is ‘substantially true’ in court dismissal
Ex-president claimed that writer defamed him when saying he raped her, but judge said term is commonly ‘used and understood’ in context
Martin Pengelly
Mon 7 Aug 2023 16.33 EDT
Dismissing the counterclaim, Judge Kaplan provided an unsparing analysis of the legal issues that informed the New York verdict. He wrote: “The only issue on which the jury did not find in Ms Carroll’s favour was whether she proved that Mr Trump ‘raped’ her within the narrow, technical meaning of that term in the New York penal law.
“The jury … was instructed that it could find that Mr Trump ‘raped’ Ms Carroll only if it found that he forcibly penetrated Ms Carroll’s vagina with his penis.
“It could not find that he ‘raped’ her if it determined that Mr Trump forcibly penetrated Ms Carroll’s private sexual parts with his fingers – which commonly is considered ‘rape’ in other contexts – because the New York penal law definition of rape is limited to penile penetration.”
“As the court explained in its recent decision denying Mr Trump’s motion for a new trial on damages and other relief [in the New York case] … based on all of the evidence at trial and the jury’s verdict as a whole, the jury’s finding that Mr Trump ‘sexually abused’ Ms Carroll implicitly determined that he forcibly penetrated her digitally – in other words, that Mr Trump in fact did ‘rape’ Ms Carroll as that term commonly is used and understood in contexts outside of the New York penal law.”
How revealing that Trump, craving the powers of a King, would claim presidential immunity regarding his sexual assaults, sad!:
“Kaplan also struck some of Trump’s defenses, including that he had “absolute presidential immunity”
“The only issue on which the jury did not find in Ms Carroll’s favour was whether she proved that Mr Trump ‘raped’ her within the narrow, technical meaning of that term in the New York penal law.
Yes, that’s known as the jury finding that Trump did NOT rape her, also known as the jury said her claim of rape was false.
The MSM did a terrible job of informing people about that. Even veteran Dem pundits were saying he was found guilty of rape. Ignorant or lying? There’s no excuse for being ignorant about these issues. Educate yourself, and be honest for once in your life.
Why do rich white atheists want to flood the USA, with dark skin illiterate Spanish speakers???
Also these same rich white atheists, are fighting to keep the public school system in a sh!t pile. I guess they want uneducated lawn care workers.
They want low info voters that have no cultural ties to America and have a history of electing so_shall_lists. That’s what they’re importing. That was the number one priority of the Puppet-Harris admin.
This is hilarious, Miner49er the atheist quoting a bible verse he doesn’t understand the context for to make yet another stupid post in a discussion for which he doesn’t understand the context then claiming a context relationship that doesn’t exist for the bible verse or the discussion.
😂
MajorLiar,
This is getting tedious, trying to school an obviously intentionally-ignorant cretin (that would be you), but I will manfully shoulder my duty to stamp out Dimocrat, Leftist/fascist (ah, but I repeat myself) lies and ‘disinformation’.
Yes, there are more than a few billionaires and multi-multimiliionaires who OPENLY donate to the Republican Party and/or various Republican, conservative, or libertarian candidates. There are a WHOLE LOT more who donate (some openly, many (most??) anonymously or through astroturf “PACs”) to Leftist/fascist candidates.
The simple reality is that Kamal-toe the Ho has raised approx. double the campaign funds as has Trump, and she SURE AS HELL didn’t raise that money from $10 and $20 and $50 donations. Now, as a rational, and intellectually consistent, person, I don’t care who gives money to whom – their money, their choice. I would be perfectly happy with a fundraising regime that let anyone (legal ‘human’ or the actual flesh and blood kind) donate whatever they wanted to whomever they support – that is not even CLOSE to what we actually have, as you well know (but continue, like ALL your Leftist/fascist fellow travelers, to gloss over or deny). So, bottom line, you making ANY comments about Republicans being tied to “Big Money” is just a LIE – the Republican Party is LESS attached to billionaire donors than are the lying Leftist/fascists.
You have been conspicuously silent about the fact that so many “usual suspects” organizations are either not endorsing Kamal-toe the Ho, or outright endorsing the Bad Orange Man. Kamal-toe’s support among rank and file union members (you know, ACTUAL VOTERS) is noticeably lower than that enjoyed by Senile Joe. Even the Leftist UAW officials, while endorsing the Ho and Tampon Timmy “Stolen Valor” Walz, have admitted that “most of our members will probably vote for Trump” (interesting admission, that – what does it say about the ‘concern’ of the union leadership with their members that they choose to substitute THEIR opinions over those of their members??? Oh, I guess it means they (the Union bosses) are TRUE Dimocrat Leftist/fascists – “Let us make your decision for you; we know what’s best for you!!”).
Most of your vaunted “media” have completely exposed themselves as partisan propagandists (almost as obvious as are you), and public trust in “the media” is at an all-time low. Gee, wonder why that is???
Now, as to the allegation that someone excoriating you vehemently on this site is evidence that said person is in the employ of the Republican Party??? It is to laugh. I insult you, MajorIdiot, for two reasons: you are a lying liar who lies (but pretends (poorly) that he doesn’t), and you pretend to knowledge, education, morality, rectitude, and logic that you CLEARLY AND OBVIOUSLY totally lack. And the fact that, early in my association with this site, I attempted, several times, to engage you in good faith. I thought you were not just wrong, but stupidly wrong, on politics and policy, but I afforded you the presumption of good faith. My mistake – you are a pusillanimous pustule of a prevaricating poltroon of a lying Leftist propagandist. You responded in bad faith, or just did your usual “shoot and scoot” drive-by lies, then ran away when confronted (you STILL refuse to stand behind your IDIOT assertion that Article I, Section 8 authorizes universal gun control).
So, yeah, you gotdayum right I insult you, as often as possible – I despise your lies, your partisan dipsh*ttery, and your CONTINUED pretension to intellectual achievements of which you are not only bereft of, but I have concluded that you are INCAPABLE of. No, MajorMoron, I don’t insult you because I’m paid for it, I insult you because I enjoy it, because you are a semi-human similacrum of a hemhorroid on the @$$ of a syphilitic warthog.
There, does that help clarify things for you, MajorUnsentient??? Nah, I didn’t think so; you’re too stupid to be educated.
Dang, lamp. Don’t hold back. Tell us what you really think. 🙂
Jiminy cricket, what a wall of text.
“Kamal-toe the Ho has raised approx. double the campaign funds as has Trump, and she SURE AS HELL didn’t raise that money from $10 and $20 and $50 donations”
Au contraire mon Frère!
Kamala Harris is bringing in new donors, many more than Donald Trump becomes average people identify with her policies much more than Donald Trump’s call for retribution and violent imagery.
“Harris keeps bringing in new money as Trump struggles to grow his donor base
These three charts explain 2024’s political donor gap
Jessica Piper
JESSICA PIPER
11/01/2024, 5:00AM ET
“Democrats have long had a larger online donor base and more developed fundraising infrastructure than Republicans. In 2020, for example, Biden had more than 2 million more individual donors than Trump did.
But notable is how both campaigns today compare to last cycle: Harris has significantly expanded on Biden’s donor numbers, while Trump actually slightly lags his own numbers from four years ago. Today, the Biden-turned-Harris campaign has more than 2.4 times the number of donors as the Trump campaign — a gap of nearly 4.3 million funders.”
more average ordinary Americans are putting their money behind Kamala Harris, because they’ve heard her message and it resonates with their concept of patriotism:
“From Sep. 1 through Oct. 16, Harris’ campaign brought in more than 1.5 million new donors, or an average of more than 43,000 per day.
Trump’s campaign, by contrast, brought in a bit shy of 500,000 new donors over that period, or about 13,000 per day.“
You just laid it out in black and white, miner. The dems are the party of the wealthy. They’re outraising and out spending the working class gop.
MajorLiar,
So, what’s the RATION, exactly, of small dollar donations to large donations, between the two campaigns?? And what’s the ration, EXACTLY, of “dark money” (anonymous) PAC donations?
Not the “win” you thought it was, is it, MajorLiar???
Oh, and I notice that you didn’t respond to the REST of my comment, did you?? Like I said, you’re nothing but a punk-@$$ beotch, with the intellectual skills of a planaria (do you even know what a planaria is, MajorIdiot???).
I wish we had a Soros and a Bloomberg. The most powerful companies in the world, google and Microsoft, are the top Democrat donors.
We need to educate the black community in the role of the democrats in slavery, the klan and the anti civil rights movement. We need to educate them to the wealth of the democrats including bloomberg and soros.
Reparations do indeed need paying. But not out of the taxpayers pockets.
Yes. It’s shocking how many people, of any race, don’t know that. They’re beginning to break free of the indoctrination. The most “racist/Hitler-like/fascist/antisemitic, xenophobic, etc.” presidential candidate in the history of this country keeps adding more minority support every time he runs. People are slowly but surely figuring out the Democrat lies.
You may have missed it, but the Democrat party redeemed themselves with the voting rights act and the civil rights act.
Richard Nixon’s Southern strategy flipped the paradigm, successfully winning the presidency in 1968 with the southern white vote.
Unfortunately, his mismanagement of the Vietnam war and then his espionage against the Democrat party pretty much sealed his fate as the most despicable president.
Until now, and Donald Trump has claimed that crown.
Redeemed themselves? Who says? Them? I wonder if we held a national vote, blacks only, on reparations from the dems and their white billionaire supporters how that would go?
Nixon ended Viet Nam. I guess that is mismanagement.
MajorLiar,
Sweet Baby Jesus on a f*cking nuclear-powered pogo stick!!!! Is it even POSSIBLE to cram so many lies into on (idiotically stupid) comment??? Apparently, it is; you just did it. (If prizes were awarded to stupidly egregious lies, you would deserve the equivalent of a Nobel Prize for that piece of lying idiocy.)
“You may have missed it, but the Democrat party redeemed themselves with the voting rights act and the civil rights act.” AYFKMRN?????? First, and foremost, don’t EVEN pretend that the Dimocrats passed EITHER ONE of those Acts (just FYI, dumb@$$, titles of legislation are treated as proper nouns, and capitalized in use . . . you cretinous moron) – what were the ACTUAL percentage, by party, in the House and Senate that approved those bills??? And which FAMOUS Southern DIMOCRATE Senator famously filibustered against them???? (Yeah, that’s right, it was AL GORE’S DADDY!!!!).
Don’t just f*ck off, MajorLIAR, f*ck ALL THE WAY OFF with THAT lie! Now tell us about the one where LBJ famously said the the “Great Society” Leftist nonsense would “have those n*ggers voting for us for 200 years!” (turns out he was a little optimistic about the longevity of his ‘dollars for votes’ scheme, dunnit???).
As for “mismanagement of the Viet Nam war”, once again, AYFKMRN???? Do the names Kennedy, McNamara, and Johnson ring a bell???? THEY, all famously Dimocrats got us into that war, and Nixon got us out. Now, did he do it ineptly? Oh, HELL to the YEAH! – but even his ineptitude isn’t a patch on the complete incompetent lunacy of the Bidumb Administration in Afghanistan, it it?
Yes, MajorMoron, I insult you, because I despise you and your lies, and your ABSURD pretensions to adequacy and intellect and education. Go suck start a shotgun, MajorIdiot.
“We’ll have those n*****s voting Democrat for the next hundred years.” – Lyndon Bains Johnson upon the passage of the Civil Rights Act.
“I wish we had a Soros and a Bloomberg“
I am glad I can bring you some comfort, advising you that the Trump MAGA mob does indeed have their own billionaire elites:
Timothy Mellon
Donations to Trump groups: $76.5 million | Net worth: Nearly $1 billion
Linda McMahon (spouse of Vince McMahon)
Donations to Trump groups: $16 million | Net worth: $3.1 billion
Diane Hendricks
Donations to Trump groups: $6.3 million | Net worth: $20.9 billion
Miriam Adelson
Donations to Trump groups: $5.8 million | Net worth: $27.8 billion
Kelcy Warren
Donations to Trump groups: $5.8 million | Net worth: $6.2 billion
They have a high net worth, but they aren’t nearly as politically active as Bloomberg and Soros. Soros had given his Open Society Foundation over $30 billion as of about seven years ago. Bloomberg is worth over $100 billion.
We’ll see what Elon does after this election cycle. He wasn’t a Trump supporter until this year. An Elon or two could help cancel out Bloomberg and Soros. However, Wall Street has donated more to Democrats since at least 2008. We’ll see if that trend holds.
JWM, and others – Please don’t take the bait. After a while this reprobate will evaporate.
No, he will not. He is a true troll. Ignoring him will achieve nothing.
Are you making a purge list? Surely such high profile victims will at least get a show-trial.
speaking of dark money…
Liberal Dark Money Network Sends Inaccurate Election Texts to Voters Across US > h ttps://freebeacon.com/elections/something-that-the-feds-really-need-to-look-at-liberal-dark-money-network-sends-inaccurate-election-texts-to-voters-across-us/
“A progressive group funded by anti-Trump billionaire Reid Hoffman and other Democratic heavyweights is behind a rash of misleading text messages stoking concerns about voter suppression across the country, a Washington Free Beacon investigation has found.”
Hypocrisy? Only political opponents of the Democrat Party can be guilty of hypocrisy. If Democrats do it, it is simply shrewd political maneuvering.
It’s only bad when the other guys do it.
See heroes of the Democrat party Roosevelt and Truman locking up Germans and Japanese Americans. That was a good thing. They were protecting Democracy.
Or another Democrat hero, Woodrow Wilson, locking up reporters, forcing a state narrative onto the media and arresting people for speaking in German.
Vote Democrat!!! You’re garbage. You’re a bigot. You’re women are stupid. Vote Democrat!!!
Oh, and expecting a warmonger like Liz Cheney to fight her wars? That’s racist or sexist or something because only you and your kids will be fighting her wars.
Oops, correction: Nobody will be fighting her wars because her neocon ass got the boot.
Unless Harris wins and gifts Liz some Rumsfeldian cabinet position of course. Then we’re all fucked.
“Oh, and expecting a warmonger like Liz Cheney to fight her wars?“
Oh, the Republicans are against wars now?
Strange, I don’t remember all that outrage when republican president Dick Cheney and VP George W. Bush conducted their war of lies on Iraq. It was all “Where were You” and “Cause we’ll put a boot in your ass
It’s the American way!”
Somehow I missed your outrage when Donald Trump attacked a country we weren’t at war with:
“Trump launches military strike against Syria
By Barbara Starr and Jeremy Diamond, CNN
Updated 4:59 PM EDT, Fri April 7, 2017“
An amazing position for a guy with five draft deferments due to ‘bone spurs’, but he did suffer a personal Vietnam avoiding VD in NYC while appearing on ‘Soul Train’.
When was cheney president?
You really don’t remember all the people calling Rumsfeld, Bush and Cheney war criminals? You don’t remember Code Pink? Who are now Russian agents according to the Left. You don’t remember Antiwar, which is still around and one of the only online news sources worth reading.
Bush Jr. ran as a non-interventionist and promised no war. Plenty of people were pissed off when he flipped the Neocon switch and went full war monger. Many blamed Cheney as he was seen as the actual driving force in the administration.
There was plenty of outrage and you were probably one of the outraged. But now that the Democrats have taken up the neocon mantel you’re on team war. I’m sure you have all sorts of humanitarian reasons to make your bombs different from the other bombs but it’s still killing hundreds of thousands, making millions of new enemies and enriching the MIC.
Neocon (please don’t be insulted; I’m simply shortening your handle for convenience),
“You really don’t remember . . . ”
Hard to tell, with MajorLiar. Sometimes I believe he really IS as stupid as he sounds, other times I am convinced he is just a cynical liar. Six of one, half a dozen of another (or their is the chance that he is both stupid AND a cynical liar – embrace the healing power of ‘and’!).
Samuel Langhorne Clemens got it wrong – it isn’t “Lies, damned lies, and statistics”, it is “lies, damned lies, and anything that comes from MajorLiar”. That pustule on the posterior of humanity is incapable of truth – he would lie if the truth would serve him better, but he IS dumber than Balaam’s off ass, as well, so . . . stupid, dishonest, or stupidly dishonest??? I dunno; seems like all of the above, most of the time.
“You really don’t remember all the people calling Rumsfeld, Bush and Cheney war criminals?“
Yes, I remember them well, it was all progressive liberal Democrats.
All you conservative Republicans were just fine with Bush, Cheney and Rumsfield’s war of lies, and you called us traitors for opposing their war of lies in Iraq.
Now you’re making the biggest flip-flop in the world, of course it’s after 4000 Americans died in YOUR war of lies.
You do realize realignment happens, right?
Hell, we’re all supposed to accept that the Democrat Klanbakers are suddenly the party of civil rights.
Michael Moore used to rail against free trade. Bernie Sanders used to say open borders was a Koch Brothers plot to suppress wages and keep the American worker down.
What do Michael and Bernie have to say lately?
Here’s a good example of the bipartisan warmongering we’re up against thanks to petry partisanship and TDS run amok:
The final vote was 354-60, with all of the no votes coming from Republicans. Top party members voted for the measure, including Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney, GOP Policy Committee Chairman Gary Palmer (R-AL) and Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), the top Republican on the Foreign Affairs Committee who cosponsored the legislation with the panel’s Democratic chairman.
Neocons and TDS suffering Democrats voted to keep us involved in a conflict that is none of our business all to spite Trump who wanted us out.
Our policing the world needs to end and Trump was trying to get it done but bipartisan neocon warmongering wouldn’t allow it. Globalism threatens all of us. Just as Michael Moore who made his whole career writing books about NAFTA, free trade and it’s effect on the American worker. Books that as a kid actually got me interested in this stuff. Imagine my shock when years later I learned he was a leftist. Oh, wait. You can’t ask him because he’s now a globalist working to sell our nation out to corporate interests and keep the wage slaves in their place.
Oh, the Republicans are against wars now?
1. No group is fully homogenous in their beliefs.
2. Realignments happen. Fairly regularly.
3. Neocons, by virtue of their philosophy, tend to be very interventionsty/war-mongery.
4. Not all Republicans are Neocons.
And here’s where you’re really missing the beat:
5. Not all Neocons are Republican.
Either you’re a hopeless ideologically partisan idiot or you’re being deliberately disingenuous.
Protip: not all neocons are republicans. In fact they’ve been jumping off the republican ship in droves since 2012 or so.
Shire-man,
Careful, we intellectually consistent libertarians may take over your party while you’re not looking!!
Actually, VERY few of my Republican friends were EVER neo-cons, or supporters of war in general. But, once again, MajorIdiot is too stupid to understand that.
“Actually, VERY few of my Republican friends were EVER neo-cons, or supporters of war in general“
Hilarious, would you be kind enough to point out the historical record of the Republicans who protested against the Iraq war?
MajorLiar,
Happy to, nitwit – Try Rand Paul, for one. Also check out public statements by most CURRENT Republican Congressional leaders, made contemporaneously. And, for what it’s worth, you hapless idiot, MOST Republicans, conservatives, and libertarians are actually busy working and running (small) businesses.
Nice conversation; next time try to be a little smarter (if and to the extent you are capable of such).
mini mike is a Gun Control zealot who has armed security everywhere he goes just like the Gun Control zealots harris/walz has armed security everywhere they go, all while their goal is to see you and yours do without like the third reich did for Jews, etc.

Mini mike who banned large sodas served in restaurants and fast food stores. Mini mike who restricted baby formula in ‘his’ hospitals for use by new mothers for their newborns. M.M. is not just a zealot but a megalomaniac. Question for NYC, who was the bigger maroon, M.M. or Big Bird.
Didn’t he continue the law and order theme from the Giuliani administration? That’s something positive. Then again, wannabe tyrants can be good at law and order too.
From the people who bought you the drug addict Hunter Biden laptop story, the guy who lied on federal forms and illegally purchased a gun, the laptop story that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had censored on social media and tried to suppress and lied about along with numbers of people at the FBI – the laptop that turned out to be real

His own party abandoned him, except for his money!
Bloomberg.
I like him, we both hate jews.
“I like him, we both hate… “
Another moment of honesty from the TTAG crowd, bravo!
It’s easy for you folks to support Donald Trump, he hates the same people you do.
Like all the folks you hate. Mostly anybody flying an American flag.
You don’t understand Duly’s brand of sarcasm. He’s saying that because Bloomberg is Jewish. Also, his history of comments are almost all sarcasm/comedic. Context matters. You really don’t understand much.
Also, Trump is the most pro-Jewish president in American history.
MajorLiar,
Wow!! You win the “Thank you, Captain Obvious” award for the day!!
IT. WAS. SARCASM, you complete drooling moron!!! And, speaking of adherents of a major political party hating Jews, pick up a mirror sometime, you lying sh*tbag!! ALL the major anti-semites are your folks, MajorDipsh*t!!
You truly are too stupid to insult.
State run media lies about Cheney and Trump validating her being waffle stomped. (note the context of what Trump actually said at 11:02 in the video. No where did he ever claim to want to execute Cheney as the lies of the left wing media says. Trump was just making the juxtaposition point that Cheney should consider her decisions from the point of those she sends into combat for what they will face instead of being a war-hawk – its the same type of point made by people every day, view from the point of the people affected by your decisions.)
h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BafeV7IXO3s
“Trump was just making the juxtaposition point that Cheney should consider her decisions from the point of those she sends into combat“
Then why didn’t Donald Trump say that, rather than speaking of “standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face”.
That’s his genius, to hide violent words and phrases within seemingly mundane statements. “Peacefully protest” but also “You’ve got to fight like hell”.
And tell me, exactly when and where did Liz Cheney ever send anyone into combat?
You’re a little late bud.
CNN took back the claim: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4966401-cnn-trump-cheney-firing-squad/

The Cheneys are neocons. Neocons are chickenhawks.
Leftys like you used to understand this. Now you cheer this, vote for this, applaud this, slobber all over this:

Did the last 20 years just miss you? Were you in a coma? Are you a child?
As opposed to the hate rhetoric of the left? Anybody supporting Trump is a not-zee. The American flag is hate speech?
You’re a shrieking, hysterical idiot, miner and I am glad your time has passed.
Late to the party, aren’t you?
Yesterday ABC, CNN, NBC and lefty individuals like Maher and Goldberg all either retracted that hoax claim, pulled it back as “we were wrong but he’s still violent” or outright complained that the media was creating a lie that would backfire.
Still perpetuating it today is just sad.
“Then why didn’t Donald Trump say that”
he did say that, he just said it by example, like ya know millions of people do.
See, if you understood what context was you would understand what is a very common point making tool used by millions of people, heck, billions of people the world over, people in the sane world you don’t live in.
I’ll ask again, you must’ve missed this:
And tell me, exactly when and where did Liz Cheney ever send anyone into combat?
Again you used your lack of not knowing what context is to make yet another stupid post.
He was referring to her “war hawk” like mindset and stance.
Like you missed the question about the slave wage workers being brought across the border.
“the slave wage workers”
You mean the workers that Donald Trump and Leon Musk giggle about firing when they try to get better wages and working conditions?
“I love it,” Trump said. “You’re the greatest … I mean, I look at what you do. You just walk in and you just say, ‘You wanna quit?’ They go on strike, I won’t mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say, ‘That’s OK, you’re all gone … Every one of you is gone.'”
“You are the greatest!” he added after Musk chuckled. “You would be very good [on the proposed commission]. Oh, you would love it.”
“Donald Trump Cheers Elon Musk Over Firing Workers: ‘You’re the Greatest!’”

Still dodging the question. Those illegals are a drain on our society. Our resources. And they are taking jobs under the table that are putting more of the working poor Americans out of jobs.
Why did I think I would get a straight answer from you?
ya can’t get an answer from him on anything. All he wants to do is spew his mental illness TDS and continue to show us he doesn’t know what context is and recite what the left wing media has programed him with.
I’m still waiting for answers to these:
Miner49er, why are you letting Biden and Harris get away with facilitating all those deaths by releasing known arms trafficker Viktor Bout, a literal “merchant of death”, that three prior presidents, including Trump, refused to release because of the deaths it would cause?
Miner49er, why are you not holding Biden and Harris accountable for their heinous crime of facilitating those deaths and endangering people so they could appease Putin and gain favoritism from influential black leaders, and so Biden could continue to profit from deals in Russia?
Miner49er, why are you letting Biden and Harris get away with making the country border intentionally open and insecure?
Miner49er, why are you not holding Biden and Harris accountable for the violent gangs and criminals that came across their intentionally open and insecure border?
Miner49er, why are you not holding Biden and Harris accountable for facilitating the crimes here in the U.S. of murder and rape by the violent criminals that came across the Biden-Harris intentionally insecure and open border?
Miner49er, why are you not holding Biden and Harris accountable for bringing our economy to the brink of collapse?
Miner49er, why are you not holding Harris accountable for the lies she told about ‘price gouging’ being the reason prices are so high when even she, after being caught in her lie, walked it back to say that it wasn’t price gouging but rather, basically, biden-nomics?
Miner49er, why are you not holding Biden and Harris responsible for food prices being up more than 20%, as well as most all other prices being increased, under the Biden-Harris administration?
Miner49er, why are you not holding Biden and Harris accountable for, by use of threats and intimidation and conspiring and collusion, during their tenure in office, censoring the free speech and intentionally violating the First Amendment right of millions of Americans on social media?
Why, Miner49er, are you not bothering to bring up Kamala’s history of wanting to use force against American citizens to violate their 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th Amendment rights?
And now also…
Why, MIner49er, are you not bothering to discuss the long standing ties (four decades) between Tim Walz and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials the Kamal campaign has been trying so desperately to hide?
Why, Miner49er, are you not bothering to bring up that companies in which Bloomberg is invested are channeling money from Bloomberg to NGO’s that are aiding people illegally crossing the Harris intentionally open and insecure border and that Bloomberg invested companies are replacing American workers with these illegals?
Why, Miner49er, are you not bothering to bring up that Harris is supporting these illegals getting registered to vote in the upcoming federal election?
Why, Miner49er, are you not bothering to bring up Kamla’s history of enslaving legally free people for forced labor?
Why, Miner49er, do you always cherry pick others comment out of context so you can launch into your mental illness TDS?
Why, Miner49er, are you such a coward afraid to actually discuss?
Why, Miner49er, do you only support radical violent left-wing causes?
Why, Miner49er, do you support and defend, terrorist causes by supporting pro-hamas supporters?
and there are even more questions but lets stop here for now…
