This is why Citizens United needs to die.

In another thread some time ago, someone * asked the best way to report illegal income without having the feds on them for either tax evasion or illegal income. I feel ignorant for not thinking of pacs and superpacs. In fact, I believe I saw a thread title recently that suggested they are money laundering.

Simply running a campaign into the ground and then quietly moving the money into different accounts after a couple of years is incredibly popular as well. The US is terrible at tracking defunct campaign accounts.

I think that's a "feature, not a bug" in the grand political scheme.

You’ve described literally every conceivable situation in politics. You should switch it to “Maeve (quotable)” next.

Hmm?

If it wasn’t you then someone else named themselves Maeve (famous) for a bit.

Oh? Why were they famous? Links?

They did it for a bit, and assuredly for a bit. And yes, they were famous for a bit. If you can find a Lemmbin server 2 weeks behind on its queue, you might find the bits.

Red flag much? I'll pass,. Thanks anyway.
