Alexandria the Great complains of "dark money" in politics but has plenty of her own
Tom Anderson, director of the National Legal and Policy Center's Government Integrity Project, said: "It appears Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her associates ran an off-the-books operation to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, thus violating the foundation of all campaign finance laws: transparency." ...
Adav Noti, the senior director of the Campaign Legal Center and a former FEC lawyer, said the arrangement was highly unusual and seemed intended to obscure the destination of the funds. "None of that makes any sense," said Noti. "I can't even begin to disentangle that. They're either confused or they're trying to conceal something." ... "It does seem like there's something amiss. I can only think of really two likely possibilities for this sort of pattern of disbursements," said Noti. "One is the scam PAC possibility — they're really just paying themselves and they’re concealing it by using the LLC. The other is that there’s actually another recipient, that the money is going to the LLC and then being disbursed in some other way that they want to conceal."

As of right now, Trump will not win reelection with Michigan
But since only 31 percent of all of those surveyed
said they would definitely vote again for Trump, it shows a problem for
Trump even among those who would be expected to be his most loyal
supporters — the 42 percent who identify as Republican voters. "The vote to re-elect numbers are 31 percent — 11
points below the (Republican) Party identification. That spells trouble
for him," said Porn. "And there are people who are saying they like
him, or are giving him a positive job rating, who are still saying they
won't re-elect him. That gap is a problem." ... For the poll, EPIC-MRA of Lansing randomly surveyed
600 likely voters in Michigan between Sunday and Thursday of this
week. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Democrats are frauds, but Ilhan Omar is a stupid fraud: In 2017 she LOVED Obama, now he's a murderer
Lying to the infidel. It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Ann Coulter is finally starting to put 2 & 2 together: Does Trump WANT to stop the invasion?
As everyone knows by now, Trump pulled the campaign trigger in 2015 about one month after reading ADIOS AMERICA. He had found his issue. It was not his issue. It became his issue. He had found his angle, his tool.
Immigration restriction marked Trump out from all the other candidates. It got him elected, narrowly. The tilt to the libertarian open borders Mercers with Conway and Bannon in August 2016 nearly did him in. He prematurely tracked to the middle (DACA waffling in Arizona townhall, showing he was never sincere), and once in office, did nothing of substance about the issue. There was no liason to Congress on the issue in the White House, coordinating policy. All the appointments in the White House were opposed to immigration restriction save one here or there, confounding his supporters to this day. It was not a priority, until after the House was lost. None of the cabinet appointments were restrictionists, but for Sessions, whom he neutered early over what really matters, muh MAGA presidency.
Now he returns to immigration, putting it front and center as a matter of what, policy? No, as a matter of the reelection campaign, as it was in the beginning. It's an election tool, a campaign issue like abortion has been for decades. He never really intended to do anything about it, and doesn't now, except in a half-hearted kind of way where if he gets lucky with it here and there as a matter of policy, so much the better. That keeps the believers believing, as does the dumpster fire he's created at the border. He keeps signaling over and over again since losing the House how he wants more immigrants to come here than ever before. Well they're coming over like never before! Trump created the National Emergency. Trump created the surge at the border. He wanted it. He needs it. We are in a political campaign.
Donald Trump will go down in history as the man who forever put the stink on running as an immigration restrictionist, which is why you never trust a "former" Democrat with the leadership of your party. It ain't called stupid for nothin'. It was Ronald Reagan, after all, who started us down the road to exporting all those jobs Trump now says he wants to bring back.
How's that working out for you on this winter day reporting a mere 20,000 new payrolls in February?
We are screwed. "Conservatives" and "Republicans" have failed us, utterly. And that much Coulter already knows.

Trump as state capitalist: Once was a one-off, twice is a Freudian slip
Trump's brain has no room for the individual qua individual, only for the individual as representative of a brand. The higher reality, the organizing principle of society is the group and the corporation, without which the individual doesn't exist. In that sense he's a good Aristotelian:
This is just stupid: Trump is causing the invasion, he wants the invasion, he needs the invasion!
Trump will veto the bill. There aren't enough votes to override. The National Emergency must and will continue! There's another election coming you fool.
Trump used immigration to distinguish himself from the rest and get elected: It was merely a political tool then as it is now
Wake up and smell the coffee, served up fresh and hot by Juan Valdez you idiots. You are so owned.

ANYBODY who runs for president now as a Democrat is an anti-Semite
How quickly they drop out now is an index of their disagreement with the Democrat Party's new embrace of anti-Semitism.
Way to go, Sherrod Brownie! Didn't take you even one day!
