Let’s reframe the question.

From what source would you want to believe the funding originates?

I can easily guess. I bet one or two others here can as well. Viktor Orban and Vladimir Putin would also claim to know the same source..

Wonder where the money is coming from?

From real, patriotic Americans, of course.

Maybe Tucker Carlson is contributing. He's on record as saying he hates Trump.

I've long suspected that he's in league with George Soros, and quite possibly Lord Lucan.

@Doctor-Phibes

George Soros.

He’s the usual suspect and predetermined culprit at the root of this evil.

The nefarious George Soros.

Well, guess who?...

You must be disappointed. Soros wasn’t among the list of evil doers.

The question though is; can you be certain?

Just asking questions.

[Jolly]

Oh, I don't think one can be certain. After all, Mr Soros & Son have multiple shell charities and other entities to funnel their money.

Since money is speech, so I don't advocate taking it out of politics, but I would like to see the origin of funds - not the shell corporations, but the individuals - funding each campaign, campaign ad or "public service" announcement.

I think they should ban American billionaires. Give the money to people who are working here on a green card and therefore can't vote. That would get rid of the corruption.

Sure, it would be a big responsibility, but it's a sacrifice that I'm willing to make.

But it’s not a campaign as such. More of a concerted effort, or if you like, countermovement against the Trump juggernaut.

But I do agree, the funding should be transparent. If, for no other reason, than the current Duke of Mar-a-Lago can levy suitable attainder upon them at a later date.

Like I said, real, patriotic Americans, right?

I agree also. If you feel strongly about a political candidate to donate to them, then it should be known.

Expecting politicians to vote for transparency is like expecting Mr. Fox to vote for electric fences around the henhouse
