I'd love for rules to start applying to Republicans.
But I won't hold my breath.

Cruz recently won a scotus case where they decided that you can donate an unlimited amount of money to a campaign After an election is over.
The courts are going to continue allowing himself to funnel money to campaigns.
“Oops, we forgot to launder that. Sorry, we’ll take care of it.”
Watch how fast nothing happens from this.
Absolutely nothing will happen.
That's not remotely true. The bar will get lowered.
Campaign finance law and serious trouble... Isn't that an oxymoron?
It's literally the only branch of law where ignorance if the law is a valid excuse. How can anyone seriously get in trouble when "sorry I didn't know" means you're not guilty. All criminal penalties are for "knowing and willful" violations of FECA.
Go ahead and try to prove that Ted knew that by volunteering his time this would lead I heart media to donate the revenue of his talks into his own superpac, and that he knew this was a violation of campaign finance laws.
So frustrating!
But... Look at his halo!
I'm glad I deleted my iHeart.
They bought a lot of the local radio stations where I live and now they all suck. I live in Philly and used to love 104.5, one of the things they were known for was no morning show, they just played music during peoples commute. Now it's the god awful iHeartRadio woody morning show.
Its crazy how the same corporation supports shit stains like Cruz also runs Cool Zone Media that has Behind the Bastards and It could Happen here both of which are way to the left for an American audience.
Whaaaaaat? I am shocked.
