Nothing's meaner than a liberal dwarf. They're just so fast, they're in your face, make that kneecap, before you know it. And those huge lollipop bats carry quite a punch. 🍭

So if I give $1 million to the Tides Foundaation, the Tides Foundation can give that $1 million to their multiple Leftist groups who will funnel that money to somebody like Bernie Sanders. That sounds like money laundering to me.

Yes and no. Donations to a lot of foundations just get passed back and forth, losing 2% here, 5% there as various people take their cuts. But for actually giving the money to a campaign, non-profits aren't allowed to. The campaigns themselves are very restricted, although Obama got around a lot of that by simply not verifying who was donating a lot of their small sums.

Really, most of that funny money is going to end up with the super-PACs or similar, which spend the money for a particular candidate/issue, but technically aren't part of any individual's campaign, and aren't allowed to coordinate their spending. But that's not too heavily enforced, either..
