Please back that up with enough money to more than offset Miriam Adelson
There’s every indication that we’ll see another huge mystery donation soon like Biden got last cycle.
Impetus has been quiet so far. But campaign finance experts have noticed stirrings. Earlier this month, after four years of operation, Impetus launched a website. Entering the campaign late, as it did in 2020, has advantages. If Impetus cranks up its fundraising later this summer, the dark money watch dogs will have nothing to chase until public filings are disclosed — after the election is over.

“Without information about who is funding groups spending to influence elections, voters won’t know who is trying to color their views, won’t be aware of any potential conflicts of interest that a funder has or what stake they may have in the outcome of the election,” said Anna Massoglia, editorial and investigations manager at OpenSecrets, a non-partisan watchdog organization that tracks the influence of money on politics.
Money isn’t Biden’s concern, votes are. Well, at least that should be.
Just a reminder she was a big part of Microsoft Bob, which without we would not have comic sans. Not relevant to anything here, but an interesting footnote in her career.
Can I get a show of hands on who cares what she thinks?
And I say that as someone who genuinely appreciates what she and her husband have done for charity.
why is she Melinda French Gates now? it’s not like anyone would suddenly not recognize the name Melinda Gates. Her name was on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Going by Melinda French Gates seems like something one would do if there was already another Melinda Gates, and one needed to differentiate from them.
That’s because she doesn’t hang out with child molesters like Trump and bill gates.
