President Biden on Tuesday endorsed legislation to disclose super PAC donors, arguing that so-called dark money erodes public trust.

“Dark money erodes public trust. We need to erode public trust and I’m determined to do that,” Biden said in remarks at the White House. “Dark money has become so common in our politics. I believe sunlight is the best disinfectant.”

Dark money erodes trust?? Really Mr. Ukraine??

They’ll just figure out how to add another layer of laundering the donations. The Spice must flow.

I don’t disagree with Biden on this one.

federal doxxing act?

Until the Democrat PACs show up and then there’ll be a SCOTUS case against the law ...

I don’t disagree with Biden on this one.

Up until a few years ago, I definitely would have agreed that non-profits (particularly political type) should have to show where their money is coming from.

However, the left, despite what Biden and Wray try to tell you, the left have used domestic political terrorism in the last few year to harass and intimidate people, get them cancelled, get them fired, and cause them to lose sponsors and contracts.

Finding out who is donating to non-woke groups and PACs will aid them in this.

Also, the left is so good at laundaring, particularly $oro$ and CCP, by using many layers and networks of stealth and intermediary groups, this legislation would likely do nothing to stop the worst kind of “dark money”

The Left’s Core Strategy #1: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." (via Rules for Radicals)

The Left’s Core Strategy #2: Scream accusations of racism(or racist attacks) at anything you don't like or which slows your agenda.

The Left’s Core Strategy #3: Intensely attack Republicans for actions you are undertaking.

The Left’s Core Strategy #4: Attack Republicans as stupid, but do not discuss it further.

The Left’s Core Strategy #5: When all else fails, censor speech and if needed deploy violence.

Repeat

I'm sure it will be used against Republican donors. We already know that the Department of Injustice selectively enforces laws and actively works to fabricate evidence against Republicans

[Dragonspirit]

I guarantee they have an angle that will allow them to protect theirs. Every damn time.

[ConservativeInPA]

We need to erode public trust and I’m determined to do that,”

Oops, we have a moment of truth.

Well, I guess. It depends on the current definition of “erode”, “trust” and “determined”. Who knows what anything means anymore. By the way, my gender is “MAGA” and my pronoun is “Fvck Biden”.

finally gonna open the CPUSA donor list???

"I believe sunlight is the best disinfectant.” -- President Brandon

Sunlight is the best disinfectant unless such daylight is directed toward the DoJ, FBI, Hunter's laptop, Hunter's suspicious activities reports from banks, family business with China, Ukraine, or Russia, Biden's sealed records at a Delaware university, or Ashley's diary.

“...erode public trust and I’m determined to do that.”

it will not be easy.

[dila813]

Going to be enforced only on right

[Zathras]

It will never apply to Democrats.
Linda and Mittens will be the first to sign on so they can protect their interests in Ukraine.

[eeriegeno]

Did he get approval to do this from Obama or will they have to walk it back?

[Dick Bachert]
