    Default Naming and Shaming Trump’s Big Donors Is Fair Game

    If you're shining a light on bullies and their enablers, you're encouraging political participation.


    It's all from public records


    If the San Antonio Express-News were to do a story on prominent local Trump supporters, would the journalists have included the names on Castro’s list? If so, he did nothing wrong. If not, he probably erred to some extent. I live in San Antonio and recognized some of the names, but not all of them, which puts me, as I said at the top, right in the mushy middle. Politicians shouldn’t bully the powerless – but if the powerful participate in politics, then they are taking public action and can quite fairly be criticized.

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    And didn't Trump promise that he was going to fund his own campaign? Why spend any of his own money, if he's got all these suckers giving him money? More of the pure greed that's a Trump trademark. And which his cultists admire.

    No, I don't like Fascism or its use of violence. That's part of why I can't support Trump.

    The irony is all yours comrade. It is obvious you are a liar and don't have the slightest clue of what you are rambling about.

    A few reads for the intelligent American. Right wing tools and sycophants, Breitbart and Fox are there for you and under the bed or in a closet too.

    "Why is America living in an age of profound economic inequality? Why, despite the desperate need to address climate change, have even modest environmental efforts been defeated again and again? Why have protections for employees been decimated? Why do hedge-fund billionaires pay a far lower tax rate than middle-class workers?"

    The American people should be able to find out who is using their money to influence our politicians. It is important for us to know.

    Irony is lost on trumpkins. Demanding Hillary's emails, but scrubbing his own. Demanding Obama's college transcripts, but suing to hide his own.

    I digress...
