Yes, please. Some dark money for me, too.

The media seem shocked (!) to learn that not all dark money in conservative. There is a dark money group working to reelect Biden. Yes, I am a little surprised that any dark money benefits a Democrat, but it's a fraction of the untraceable gazillions that benefit Republicans. I would prefer no dark money at all, but it's nice to see our side get a few crumbs.

"Dark" money from left-leaning non-profits and other wealthy Democratic contributors isn't quite as sinister as the billions coming from Wall Street, big pharma, energy companies and Putin.

And now SCROTUS too is awash in dark $. We need 10,000 Jack Smiths to get this corrected.
