Agree. But the dangerous ones are subtle and get tucked neatly away in bills that we don't know about. Big Pharma/Big Ag etc.

With anonymous, unlimited donations it makes it much harder for us to know exactly who owns each of them.

Probably doesn't matter anyway.

All politicians these days are well coated in grease. Sad.

IMO, best not to empower them with any more power than We, the People have already given them.

They should be doing the business of their states, not trying to dictate to all Americans.

Lobbyists always owned the govt.. C.U just made it possible to keep them anonymous.

Lobbyists own nothing. They are employees of the super-rich and corporations. They are well-paid buffers that walk between politicians and the owners. They have connections and use political donations as weapons to kill or produce bills that make the owners even richer.

Is yours, Tom? I seriously hope you are just trying to fit in with a bunch of Americans by acting like you are "just one of the gang...eh, mate"? :laugh:

If you were as Buddhist as you purport, you'd know that just being Tom Prendergast is all you need to be. Seriously...and you know this is true.

States don't pay as well as the moneyed interests.

This is an OP/ED from the Washington Times. Worth a read to most. Valid question certainly.

Will the real president of the United States please stand up?
There's no evidence that Joe Biden is actually serving as president

Charles Hurt - The Washington Times - Thursday, March 4, 2021

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Can anyone just tell us who the hell is running our federal government right now?

You literally get censored out of existence for suggesting that anyone other than Joe Biden won the election last November. Yet there is no evidence today — four months later — that Mr. Biden is actually serving as president.

A weird Tron video this week appeared to show Mr. Biden — looking every bit the part of Max Headroom — interfacing with House Democrats in Congress. Digitally, of course.

He droned on for a few minutes using scripted psycho-pablum, sitting alone at a table. The table was empty except for his instruction manual. As he spoke haltingly, he looked up at a giant screen from which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stared awkwardly, fake smiling.

One could imagine the Dem droids watching from somewhere in the cybersphere nodding along obediently.

The digital president then opened the floor for questions.

“I’m happy to take questions,” he said, pretending for a moment to actually be the leader of the free world.

Then he remembered.

“If that’s what I’m supposed to do, Nance,” Mr. Biden added, using his bizarre nickname for the smiling droid staring down at him.

Her face twitched. Mr. Biden, apparently, had failed to display proper subservience.

“Whatever you want me to do,” he added meekly.

Even more alarming than his failure to display proper subservience was the notion that Mr. Biden had offered to allow questions and possibly even answer them.

The Overlords were not pleased.

They immediately issued a long censorship “beep.” Then the Overlords cut away from the video of the man claiming to be the leader of the free world and replaced it with a test pattern of colored bars.

There would be no questions. And certainly no answers.

Just a few days before, someone claiming to be the American president bombed Syria. The bombing was followed by a report out of the White House that Vice President Kamala D. Harris was not included in the decision to bomb Syria and that she was very displeased with the decision.

That may or may not rule out Ms. Harris as the person who is operating the federal government right now. Certainly, it seems to suggest she is, in fact, not currently the president.

Either way, it doesn’t answer the pressing question we all deserve to have answered.

Who is the president of the United States right now?

Soros

Soros is the biggest Jew of the Jewish Global Conspiracy. If you don't know that then you are fucking stupid. Ask your KKK or White Supremacist buddies. They know he's Jewish.

So what? Who fucking cares what his genetic makeup is? He's a fucking Nazi, and he's the hero of the Democrat Party.

You care that he's a Jew. That's why you and your White Supremacist buddies love to target "the Big Jew", George Soros.

Blaming Jews for mass civil rights movements is a textbook white supremacy tactic that has been around for longer than anyone reading this article has been alive. The logic is simple: Those who promote these lies want you to believe that Black and brown people are not smart or strategic enough to organize such actions themselves, so Jews must be pulling the strings.

This construct also ties into the abhorrent "replacement" conspiracy theory that flourishes in the darker corners of the internet, such as on 4chan, Gab and Reddit's now-suspended The_Donald subreddit: Evil Jewish financiers want to somehow replace white people with supposedly more pliant people of color.

There is a long history of people on the far right casting Jews as malign puppet masters who work behind the scenes to manipulate both national and international events for their selfish gain. The puppet master is always fantastically wealthy, greedy and amoral.

In our era, the puppet master stereotype has been embodied by George Soros. Few people, with the possible exception of Hillary Clinton, have been more vilified by the far right. Both the number and intensity of the attacks on Soros are astounding.

Ignatieff says the anti-Soros campaign "is a faithful reprise of every single trope of anti-Semitic hatred from the 1930s... The whole thing is a complete fantasy. This is the politics of the 21st Century, if you haven't got an enemy invent one as fast as you can, make him look as powerful as possible and bingo - you mobilise your base and win elections with it."

Such A stupid goyim

The Antisemitism Lurking Behind George Soros Conspiracy Theories

Hungarian Jewish billionaire, philanthropist and Holocaust survivor George Soros is widely recognized for funding progressive political and social causes, usually through grants made by his Open Society Foundations. As a result, Soros has become a lightning rod for conservative and right-wing groups who object to his funding of liberal causes.

In far-right circles worldwide, Soros’ philanthropy often is recast as fodder for outsized conspiracy theories, including claims that he masterminds specific global plots or manipulates particular events to further his goals. Many of those conspiracy theories employ longstanding antisemitic myths,

Soros long has been a favored target of the so-called alt right and other right-wing extremists. Their online echo chambers reverberate with conspiracies about Soros, accusing him of attempting to perpetrate “white genocide” and push his own malevolent agenda. In a report published earlier this year that analyzed antisemitic speech on Twitter, ADL found that Soros figured prominently in a significant number of antisemitic tweets. One noteworthy allegation claimed that Soros was responsible for the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in August 2017 in Charlottesville, Va. Other tweets referred to his Jewish heritage in pejorative terms and claimed that he’s trying to undermine all of Western civilization.

I tend to agree here. What he did then isn't as important now as what he's doing now, but all politicians/leaders should be held accountable for their past words and deeds.
