Ask anyone from the UK to name their favourite America Politician. Many of them will say Obama but those who read a little more will say Bernie Sanders, as do I. You American's kept that one hidden. Try and not overate the British too much I had a couple of my friends say to me I think Trump 1.0 will make a good president as he is a very successful businessman. Those two were Scottish women. Back then I tried to explain what Trump was but you know how women like shows like the Apprentice and cooking shit TV programmes. Both of them, and a few others, said to be what the hell is wrong with America at time of January 6th Insurrection. His other cases made the news here. Bernie Sanders was taken out, dare I say this word, by the Clinton Foundation and their media. I think that nomination was real close let me look it up. Fuck it! I cant waste my life looking up everything american and stuff most of you should know. With covid a good million american died needless Other countries fared even worse. Boscox it will work something like 70/30 70% to winning party and 30% to losing party the investment of Big Phamara. Call it 10% for the Dems. The 70/30 rule you can apply to old soviets countries and states. https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/industry-detail/H04/2024 did I do that link last time? I will find a better one but on that one the 70/30 rules almost applies. Fuck it! You lot do it for once. Here is the big oil one. Big oil spent $445m in last election cycle to influence Trump and Congress, report says https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/23/big-oil-445m-trump-congress Big oil spent a stunning $445m throughout the last election cycle to influence Donald Trump and Congress, a new analysis has found. That figure includes funding from January 2023 and November 2024 for political donations, lobbying and advertising to support elected officials and specific policies. Because it does not include money funneled through dark-money groups – which do not have to reveal their donors – it is almost certainly a vast understatement, says the report from green advocacy group Climate Power, which is based on campaign finance disclosures and advertising industry data. Fossil fuel interests poured $96m into Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and affiliated political action committees, the report found. Much of that was covered by megadonor oil billionaires, such as the fracking magnate Harold Hamm, the pipeline mogul Kelcy Warren and the drilling tycoon Jeffery Hildebrand. Additional contributions came from lesser-known oil and gas interests, including fossil fuel-trading hedge funds, mining corporations and the producers of offshore-drilling ships and fuel tanks. Fossil fuel companies and their trade groups spent another $243m lobbying Congress. Those donors stand to profit from priorities set by Senate-confirmed Trump cabinet appointees, such Chris Wright, the fracking CEO who was tapped to head the Department of Energy, and Lee Zeldin, the former New York representative who has accepted more than $400,000 in fossil fuel-tied campaign donations and who will lead the Environmental Protection Agency. Big oil also spent some $80m on advertising to support their interests. That includes funding for ad campaigns run in swing states, such as one from the refining lobbying organization American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, which railed against Joe Biden’s pro-electric vehicle policies, or another eight-figure ad blitz from top US oil lobbying group the American Petroleum Institute that promoted the idea that fossil fuels are “vital” to global energy security. Neither campaign directly endorsed Trump, but both targeted audiences in swing states. Call it 2 trillion. NEVER underestimate dark money. In this case it will also include places like Saudi and Russia. From my 2 trillion the democrats would have received 200 billion plus. It could have been less but it was most likely was higher. America's drug prices and what they pay for health care is well beyond truly horrific. It is unique to America. If any of you here pay for drugs can you tell me which one and the prices? In the G20 and shit like that USA HC will rank near the bottom. The little I know about Bernie Sanders is he wants universal Health Care - which will explain why the Clinton Foundation and their backers barely beat him on that nomiantion - took him out of the nomiantion. It will also include big oil and others.
