Open Society now ranks just below the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in terms of assets. Soros aims to support “open societies” with his giving through projects that support criminal justice reform and liberalized immigration policies.

A Hillary Clinton supporter, he was an outspoken critic of Mr. Trump, whose campaign cited Mr. Soros in a closing ad as part of a “global power structure” the ad said disadvantaged the working class.

BLM, Antifa, Occupy Wall Street. What will be the next social grievance groups? Maybe NFL Black Pampers.

criminal justice reform = breaking down the rule of law to let his paid thugs attack anyone he says, with impunity (”but they felt oppressed”)

Soros is very wealthy and 18 million is not all that much money for any group of or even any one major political organization. It’s no more than a drop in a very leaky bucket.

Soros is 87. Since he is no dummy, he realizes that in a few years he won’t be around any more.

I wonder if Soros knows he’s not long for this life and is moving his blood money to his left wing foundation so as to prevent his heirs from getting it?

One can hope.

A lethal combination: open borders and destruction of the rule of law. This evil man hates the entire concept of American exceptionalism.

Probably protecting it from inheritance tax by giving it to his evil 501c3 organizations. His organizations are more evil than most leftists in our government.
