Facts over feelings. Facts don't care about your emotions.

Backfired. Good. Joaquin Castro is one of them neoliberal corporatist Democrats (Republican lite). I still applaud him for what he did though. People should know who is buying off every politician.

Lol, buying off politicians with $2800

He probably hates himself for invoking Shapiro.

[TheGreatYacht]

Not interested in your trolling. Appreciate it if you didn't quote me in the future. Please and thank you.

I'm not trolling. I wish and hope that Republicans will start doing the same and disclose the donors of Democrats. Expose all the corporatist and neoliberals in Congress. The winners in all this would be the Democratic Socialists (Justice Democrats) because they are the least corrupt. A lot of Democrats and Republicans have the same donors so I know Republicans wouldn't play that game

Umm...Super PACS

Lol thinking rich donors don't know how to work around individual limits

Do you think political contributions should be private?

I'm not sure all the retirees on that list can afford fundraising dinners at 250K per plate.

If they can afford max contributions on a fixed income, they must not be doing bad.

I've answered all your questions to me, will you answer mine to you?

[Winehole23]

These two questions: as a matter of law, should political contributions be private?

As a matter of social courtesy, do you think politicians should curtail their free speech or avoid singling out others for scrutiny?

[clambake]

just in this case.....i guess

Do people contribute to campaigns for tax purposes or similar such purposes only?

If so, I think at very least you should be able to check a box labeled "not for public knowledge"

Why?

Saw this. This is just reason I don't care for Castro. He can't even call invaders for what they are; furthermore, he's trying to demonize people for taking ownership in their democracy.

[DarrinS]

This Texas landowner labeled illegal immigrants as "invaders". Maybe some intrepid ST keyboard warrior can find out who he donated to? Oh, and this video is from 2014.

[Reck]

Darrin fully triggered now.

Democrats are serious about this, I'm assured by them of this.

The invasion rhetoric is old as the hills, true.

Why do you suppose DJT has been featuring it in thousands of FB ads since he got elected?

The majority of the so-called invaders no longer come across the southern border, they come here on valid visas and overstay, but you don't see any Canadians or EU (or , even Chinese or [non-Islamic] South Asian) immigrants singled out as "dangerous hombres."

What's up with that?

[Winehole23]

Are you afraid of answering straightforward topical questions, DarrinS?

You seem to have no problem asking them.

maybe that's step 2? first it's secure the border then start kicking out overstays and whatnot? i'm all for kicking everyone out who's illegal regardless of race, religion, background.

[Winehole23]

Step 2 is to proceed in a neutral, non-racist manner.

Got it.

so you're not racist by suggesting all coming across the border are mexican? is mexico guatemala or venezuela or for s sake the middle east or africa?

[Winehole23]

o you're not racist by suggesting all coming across the border are mexican? is mexico guatemala or venezuela or for s sake the middle east or africa?

i don't think I did.

The El Paso shooter's declared intention was to shoot "Mexicans" though.

[koriwhat]

The El Paso shooter's declared intention was to shoot "Mexicans" though.

and he was a pos. either way, rhetoric is thrown by both sides but we focus on the repubs when we had a lefty shoot up people in the same weekend too. it's quite sad.
