$70 million to sway a presidential election, and he plans to spend more — perhaps as much as $100 million — by Election Day. An estimated $20 million to $30 million of the giving went to groups that do not disclose their donors and had not been reported before.

I can't even feign shock/surprise/get me the smelling salts with these repiggies.

Just noticed a repig in GA claims "we don't have to cheat to win." Which, of course, means they're gonna cheat like hell. As usual.

she is justifiably afraid. There are more than a couple of corpses of authors and reporters that tried to do it in the past. It's not called the Mormon Mafia for nothing, not to mention the other Mafia and the corporate Mafia.
