Neither is okay. Super PAC expenditures cannot be made “in concert or cooperation with, or at the request or suggestion of, a candidate, the candidate's campaign or a political party”

While his super PAC has already raised $130 million, it can't run his campaign. Campaigns rely on many continuous small donations which DeSantis is just not pulling in. Mega donors too seem uncertain on DeSantis, and justifiably so given that he has been trailing Trump by 30% points in the national polls for a few months now and isn't closing in. No one wants to fund a loser.
Damn it really persists. Good one
There are so many from the GOP this time I've barely heard of. Useful resource to track them and their campaign positions. Though none of them are any competition to DeSantis in the opinion polls. Neither is DeSantis to Trump. Never imagined I'd say that's a good thing but oh my god Ron
I see. Thanks for pointing it out. The Daily Beast has never asked me for a sign up or anything so I posted. I'll copy all the article text into the post body from now on.
Did an oopsie! It's okay though nothing a good ol' confession to Jesus won't get him out of
A California church deacon allegedly sexually abused numerous boys on religious mission trips under the guise of inspecting their genitals for “concerning” moles—helping protect the children, he told them, from the ravages of skin cancer.
But beware of drag queens folks
@politicus on kbin. There is also @USpolitics. This magazine should allow for politics from all over. Especially so if you plan to allow discussion threads revolving around general political themes instead of specific stories, since you will likely draw in more participation from non-Americans as well.
Yeah, it's an other "discourse has gotten so bad" and "both sides do it" un-think piece.
Maybe read the whole thing first. It's just an article pointing out notable examples of 'nasty politics' and how voters receive it in polls.
That suit was against the FEC for not holding Rick Scott accountable for illegal coordination with a super PAC. He delayed declaration of his Senate candidacy while the super PAC raised funds for him and colluded with him on expenditures. No campaign no foul right? A district court sided with the FEC but the decision was appealed in circuit court Jan this year. The case is still ongoing. Anyway, even if the appeal doesn't do anything, the case does not provide a precedent for collusion after the declaration of candidacy - that's still illegal.
