The leader of the US Federal Election Commission, the agency charged with regulating the way political money is raised and spent, says she has largely given up hope of reining in abuses in the 2016 US presidential campaign, which could generate a record $10 billion in spending.
“The likelihood of the laws being enforced is slim,” Ann M. Ravel, the chairwoman, said in an interview. “I never want to give up, but I’m not under any illusions. People think the F.E.C. is dysfunctional. It’s worse than dysfunctional.”
Her unusually frank assessment reflects a worsening stalemate among the agency’s six commissioners. They are perpetually locked in 3-to-3 ties along party lines on key votes because of a fundamental disagreement over the mandate of the commission, which was created 40 years ago in response to the political corruption of Watergate.

Soros family was destroyed by the Nazi occupation of Hungary.
Oh no you didn't. You DO NOT get to play the victim card for George Soros without including that he was a goddamned NAZI collaborator. Google it, 60 Minutes even did a piece on it.

Thanks. I just did. It is not anything like you made it out to be. Given who you are, that should come as no surprise.
He was 14 years old pretending to be the (christian) godson of a nazi in order to be protected from the other nazis. His nazi protector made him help confiscate property from jews. You call that collaboration, I call that child abuse.
