It’s crazy how normalized the corruption in US politics is to where a junkie foreign billionaire just admitted that… this could be a silly thing to say, but money in politics is a bad thing

FECA wasn’t a thing till the mid 70s, there’s still lots of regulation with only SuperPACs being able to swing money around willy nilly. there’s about 200 years of precedence in free for all in terms of political donations.
