Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The point is to make the Republican donors switch sides. The voting base means literally nothing to these political parties. Once the Republicans lose their financial support, they’re not going to be able to sustain the same level of base support they currently have.
This is why the Republicans are so afraid of giving Biden the $118 billion bill he’s asking for. Because $60 billion of that goes to Ukraine, and the Democrats have a very extensive network already set up in Ukraine involving even Hunter Biden, that most of those money are going to be laundered back into the Democratic Party apparatus and their associates.
In other words, the Republicans are mad about seeing the Democrats “blatantly” laundering all the Ukraine money and they are missing out on that whole gravy train. Now Biden is closing in on their donor support as well. With all the lines going up under “Bidenomics” for the rich, the conservative donors are finding it more and more enticing to jump on to the Democratic gravy train, if only for the Ukraine money.
Do you have a source for this money laundering scheme? I'd like to learn more about it. /gen
