Soon, Goomshill will tell us that large donors have special access!

By the eroded standards of 1980 that's a total nothingburger lol

Companies doing favors for politicians to get access? THIS IS NEW AND DANGEROUS!

And of course Biden doing it is disqualifying, while Trump doing it is FAKE NEWS!!!!

Doubt it tho, on the special access.

The funny thing is that Gordon Sondland was Ambassador to the EU and we have the current Postmaster General...both big donors. Not a peep from him then! This is why no one takes Goomshill seriously. He's a right-wing Pollster without the "thanks for the fucking laugh!"

Ummm he sold the Secretary of Education position to Betsy DeVos. It was $9m.

Goom's thread is just a little late. Three and a half years.

I mean, I don't even blame Trump (even though he's made it worse). At the end of the day, access for large donors has ALWAYS been a thing. Being connected also has it's advantages. Why do you think the Saudis are so friendly with dirty Jew Kushner? To influence US policy. Personally, I'm fine with almost all of it.

Do you really need it explained to you the difference between people who donated to the campaign being given political appointments with responsibilities, and people who gave personal bribes being given access, influence and political favors?

Sure, I know the difference. When the GOP does it, it's fine. When Dems do it, it's the end of the world.

Yes, because Trump's family making millions off of Saudi Arabia and then doing a 180 on his platform and doing a big arms deal with them is normal, and definitely not an example of personal bribes for access. Nope, nothing Trump has ever done even has the appearance of corruption.
