Please read this Washington Post story about how a billionaire is spending an astonishing amount of money trying to elect a billionaire. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/25/trump-is-unusually-dependent-outside-money-meaning-elon-musk/

@pbump and the spending has zero impact on the billionaire's lifestyle. it simply doesn't matter. he could spend 10 times what he's spending, and it still wouldn't matter to him. this is why having people in our society with this much money and power is OBVIOUSLY a bad idea and we're seeing why RIGHT NOW!

But where is the Dem plan to get money out of politics, oh I think I saw it over there with their plan to codify Roe, it's underneath that pesky filibuster. Nothing anyone can do, it's a senate rule.

Yeah, but staying out of jail does have a big effect on a billionaire's life so...
