House Financial Services Chair Waters doesn’t plan to subpoena Sam Bankman-Fried to testify at hearing on FTX collapse Wow a corrupt bitch. This fuck committed a Madoff size fraud and democrats are gonna not hold him responsible because he funded midterms and was the second largest doner of Biden. Democrats are corrupt whether it’s working with tech to censor stories like Hunter laptop or not holding billionaire fraudsters accountable I’m sure there will be silence here….but but trump. Please

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
The fall of crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried has been painted as a big blow to the Democratic party, whose candidates were major beneficiaries of his largesse. But in a new interview, Bankman-Fried has claimed he gave equally large amounts of money to Republicans.
“I donated to both parties. I donated about the same amount to both parties,” Bankman-Fried told the crypto commentator and citizen journalist Tiffany Fong. “All my Republican donations were dark,” he said, referring to political donations that are not publicly disclosed. “The reason was not for regulatory reasons, it’s because reporters freak the fuck out if you donate to Republicans. They’re all super liberal, and I didn’t want to have that fight.” Bankman-Fried’s undisclosed donations were made possible by the supreme court’s 2010 decision in the Citizens United case, which made it easier for donors to give large amounts of money anonymously and has led to more than $1bn being poured into federal elections since 2010. Public data shows that some parts of Bankman-Fried’s empire gave equally to both parties. Data from OpenSecrets, a non-profit that tracks data on campaign finance and lobbying, shows FTX US, the company’s US operation, gave equally to both parties. But Bankman-Fried’s public donations went largely to Democrats. The FTX founder gave more than $990,000 to candidates in the last election cycle, according to OpenSecrets, and another $38.8m to outside groups. Only about $235,000 of his public political giving went toward Republican candidates. https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...ey-republicans Guess which Justices voted to allow dark corporate money to be used in elections ... as a form of indivual's right to free speech? Bc corporations = people, and speech = money |

Wow, I wonder what’s the biggest influence peddling…$286k to republicans from FTX or 38 million to outside democrats PACs? Along with 990,000k of his own money to democrats? To frame this as equal giving to both party’s…lolololol. Nope doesn’t pass the smell test.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
Lots of red in there .. House is threatening a subpoena if he doesnt testify voluntarily
Odd to see a conservatives get their panties in a bunch over corporate political donations Blankman's story isnt which party he donated to (he donated millions to both), thats legal thanks to conservatives Justices .. its whether there was financial fraud But anyway ... wont stop the 10% of Americans that just irrationally hate democrats ---- Hearings will happen .. and people will spin .. end of the day Im still eating a salad for lunch |

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
SS thinks political donations made from a result of a 40 billion dollar fraud is no big deal. It wasn’t his 50 million dollars. That’s the problem. And at bet you think he didn’t expect anything back in return.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
Looks like conservatives censorship on Twitter was always a thing. Literally without reason. No surprise really. Shadow banning was being performed and not a conspiracy theory.
Complete embarrassment

Musk was a fucking liberal hero 2-3 years ago. Now he's enemy No. 1. I'm indifferent to Musk, so I like watching this shit burn down. If he loses all his money, I don't care. If he stays rich as fuck, I don't care. Just keep digging up dirt.

Welp, journalist Bari Weiss brought the internal documents, emails and screenshots to show everyone, censorship was alive and well. Shadow banning was a strategy
