They gave the Trump campaign the ads before they had been run, giving them an advantage by seeing them before they were made public. And yes, Murdoch also gave Kushner debate intel.

Rupert Murdoch is the most evil man in the World. The World would be a better place, if he had died 15 years ago.

Sadly his son Lachlan Murdoch is also an executive at Fox news, and is likely to take the place of Rupert Murdoch when he dies.

And Lachlan is as big a scumbag as his father.

Lachlan Murdoch, the eldest son of Fox News' billionaire owner, Rupert Murdoch, ordered a network anchor to be reprimanded for challenging Donald Trump's bogus voting fraud claims, court documents show.

That says so much about the lack of integrity for the republicans.

Donald Trump (who actually served as president!) ran an organization that got convicted for tax fraud. He had to pay out millions over Trump University and the Trump foundation. (And those are just the cases where he has been convicted! It doesn't include other crimes he likely committed but for which no indictment has been issued.) And after he left office, the Saudis used his golf clubs for their LIV golf tournaments (giving him millions of dollars in business).

Jared Kushner worked in the Trump administration. Security people were originally going to deny him clearance until they were overridden. And after Trump was removed from office, his businesses arranged a deal with the Saudis for billions of dollars (despite groups within Saudi Arabia itself saying it was a bad idea.)

Yet through all this, congressional republicans and the MAGAchud stick their fingers in their ears. They ignore obvious corruption.

But they somehow think Hunter Biden is somehow a sign that the Democrats are completely corrupt.

Nobody is saying Hunter Biden is as pure as the driven snow. He's had drug problems and some financial issues. And I'm sure at least some of his success was due to his family name. But he was never part of either the Obama administration OR the Joe Biden administration. (In fact the only sort of government position he had was on the board of directors at Amtrak, and the person who appointed him was George Bush.) And there has never been anything to tie his activities in with Joe Biden.

Yet somehow Republicans are having orgasms whenever they hear the word 'laptop' (despite the fact that the laptop issue seems to be one manufactured by either the Russians or similar parties.)

IMO the Democrats and Republicans are beyond corrupt.

They are working a system that is divorced from the will of the people in many ways. 

Big government disbursements are going to be the way...

In my opinion, that is the wrong attitude to take.

No large organization (including a federal government) is going to be 'perfect'. Just too many moving parts, too many people involved. There will always be problems of some type or another. Obama ran a pretty clean administration, but even he had a few problem (e.g. the attempt to trace gun sales in mexico. And don't forget "mustard-gate".)

But his administration (for the problems it had) was nothing like the Trump administration, where his associates who have had serious legal problems has reached double digits and scandals happened on a monthly (if not daily) basis, and many of those who had legal problems were pardoned by Trump.

The characterization that "both parties are corrupt" plays into republican hands, and gives them a justification to, well, continue being corrupt. (i.e. "ignore the 100 scandals we had this year because the Democrats made one mistake in the past.") You need to differentiate between what is a reasonable number of scandals is and/or normal reactions to events, and what is truly indicative of corruption. Recent Democratic administrations do not rise to the level of "corrupt" whereas the Trump administration did, based on the total number of scandals and the way they reacted to them.

Being "divorced from the will of the people" is not always a bad thing. A government has to weigh a lot of factors... what is legal/constitutional, what's beneficial long-term vs. short term, information that "the people" are not privy to. "The people" may demand things that are unconstitutional or will cause them more problems than benefits. For example, "the people" might demand  elimination of environmental regulations because they think it will improve their employment prospects, but the government has to weigh the impact of that change on what could happen decades from now.

Now, that doesn't necessarily mean a politician should be given free reign to lie and break campaign promises. (They should make an effort to be honest with voters and follow through with promises they make). But they also should not be governed by opinion polls.

At least, we now have evidence of an impeachable offence by the Biden administration!

Its Pasta-gate!

From: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/biden-jill-restaurant-order-b2292795.html
President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden’s restaurant order on a recent date night has sparked intense debate...The president and first lady raised eyebrows when they dined at the famed Red Hen restaurant because they ordered exactly the same main course dishes. Mr and Mrs Biden chose a chicory salad, grilled bread and butter and two bowls of rigatoni

That's right up there with the time Obama used the wrong moustard, and wore a tan suit!

(Of course, being as old as he is, I wonder if they actually had dinner at 4pm in the afternoon.)
