Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Remember folks Super PAC were designed specifically so donations could be anonymous and untraceable so as to allow foreign interference and conservatives to could get the vapors when this fact is pointed out and shared
How much should we bet that Russia isn't also funding CPAC?
Right now, probably not, not enough ready cash. A few years ago, almost certain.
Does…does this mean Hungary paid for newly Widowed Erika Kirk to take the stage flanked by fireworks with a giant smile on her face while she was supposedly grieving?
That was turning point, no?
Read the last paragraph.
Also, we already know that the likes of Benny "I'm totally not GAY!!!" Johnson were/are funded by Russians.
Do any of the followers of any of these "influencers" or movements ever bother to stop and ask themselves just WHY Russians would want to fund conservatives? I realize they don't have much introspection, but....
They like dictators.
Good call. When you dethrone one of these conservative bastards you have to follow up and finish them off or you seed your own downfall. Americans need to learn this.
CPAC?
Yes, that image is real. Including the text on the banner at the top.
Stage upon which Musk delivered his sieg heils, believe at least one more of those creatures did it there too (thinking Bannon, not gonna bother to look, they're all irredeemable).
[Edit: correction of details below]
Musk did the salutes at the inauguration. Which is so much worse imo
You are more correct than me, looks like his were at a rally following inauguration ceremony. CPAC was indeed Bannon about a month later. I do agree, your correction makes it worse.
I cant wait to see what else gets uncovered, and if anything is done about it.
Well, we will have to wait until the grown ups in other countries release information. In the US, they’re still protecting kid fuckers.
And the US used taxpayer money to send Vance to Hungary to stump for Orbán there, right out in the open. In Hungary, using taxpayer money to fund an extremist foreign political party is a scandal. In the US, this matter is too deep in a flooded zone for anyone to care.
The fascists learned from the Communist International and emulating it. The mistake of the fascists in the past was the excessive tribalist mentality. The Axis never really coordinated but instead made alliances of convenience depending on the heat of the moment.
Jail.
That last paragraph. Like…yeah. We already know loads of top ones were on Russian payroll.
Couldn't Orban argue he was corrupting the US gov. in order to get their good favor ? Since the US has a legal way of doing it there was no reason to involve diplomats and intelligence services.
