With big money and big name recognition, the seat was considered hers to lose. She lost when local voters learned more about HER and what she's been up to, and all the big money didn't save her.

I've read she's considered to be a much longer shot this time. Her district did a good job in electing Shontel Brown, who proudly signed the infrastructure bill two days after being sworn in. A lot of projects and jobs creation are being funded for their area and kicking off soon.

Go, Shontel!

attacking Turner and supporting Brown, a figure that rose to over $2 million by the end of the primary, $1 million of which was for television advertisements.

The Jewish Democratic Council of America spent five figures targeting Jewish voters in support of Brown. As of late July, the Working Families Party pledged to spend at least $150,000 for Turner via its Super PAC.

By the end of the campaign, outside advertisement spending supporting Turner or opposing Brown totaled $900,000 and outside advertisement spending supporting Brown or opposing Turner totaled $2.9 million.

Yes, she is bad news, I SO hope she doesn't win this rematch, and I also will never forget the false attacks she made against Pete in the 2020 Dem POTUS primaries, along with the trashiest of the TYT assholes.

Far beyond talking shit, Turner would likely be the one House Rep who IF it came down to one vote needed, would fuck us (unlike even the Squad, who I think would not do a non symbolic vote actual blocking vote, although Rashida Tlaib would worry me, and I hope she goes down as well, as she is another far too loose of a cannon)

New IRS Rule Allows Many Nonprofits to Withhold Donor Information From the IRS

https://www.nossaman.com/newsroom-insights-new-irs-rule-allows-many-nonprofits-to-withhold-donor-iInformation-from-the-IRS

On May 26, 2020, the U.S. Treasury released Final Regulations on donor disclosure requirements that shield many nonprofits – except 501(c)(3) charities and 527 political organizations – from the requirement to disclose the names of significant donors on Schedule B (Schedule of Contributors) to their annual Form 990 returns. The Final Regulations were expected: The IRS had tried to implement these rules 2 years ago without regulations in Revenue Procedure 2018-38, but the federal district court in Montana vacated that guidance in Bullock v. IRS for failure to follow Administrative Procedure Act rulemaking requirements (as our earlier e-alert noted).

As of May 28, 2020, eligible nonprofits, including 501(c)(4) advocacy and social welfare organizations, 501(c)(5) labor and agricultural organizations, and 501(c)(6) trade organizations, need not disclose the names of donors to the IRS when they file annual Form 990 returns. For many nonprofits whose Form 990 deadline (original, or with extension) fell after March 31 but before July 15, 2020, the IRS extended that deadline to July 15, 2020 in response to COVID-19 (as we noted here), and those nonprofits can now rely on the Final Regulations in filing these delayed returns. As a practical matter, the Final Regulations do not change how affected nonprofits approach Schedule B from last year’s filings because Revenue Procedure 2018-38 stated that the IRS would not enforce the Schedule B donor disclosure rule against nonprofits who did not identify donors in reliance on the IRS guidance.

That name seems more forthcoming than the PAC's supporting Nina, which she fails to mention, of course. What's wrong with Jewish Dems supporting Democrats?? One of Nina's PACS is called "Working Family Party." Their "dark money" is fine, of course.

Retreating into formal definitions doesn't really change the tone and inferences of the blame game with the "dark money" accusations, which is to imply that corrupt forces defeated Nina, when the honest reality is that she was rejected by voters.

This is what my comments referred to about her word games. She got called out on this one, but it goes to her mindset and how she tries to imply evil and corruption to shade people. Copy and paste of formal definitions doesn't take into account people like her who manipulate.

https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/news/local_news/turners-evil-money-comment-riles-jewish-leaders/article_d1efcf24-fadf-11eb-a629-9b2e75fc2156.html

"Nina Turner, who ignited a national conversation on social media with her use of the term “evil money” in her Aug. 3 concession speech, is taking heat from some local Jewish leaders."

“Although Turner’s staff sought to clarify her election night remarks, indicating she was speaking about ‘corporate money, Republican money and Trump allies’ money,’ words matter,” Shapiro wrote in an Aug. 10 email to the CJN. “Intentionally or unintentionally, the language she employed rings of historic antisemitic tropes. There is no place for bigotry, hate or antisemitism in our public discourse. It is the responsibility of political figures to condemn and address antisemitism, and that means taking extra care with phrasing that can be offensive or derogatory. AJC Cleveland has reached out to Turner to discuss issues of concern.”

everything mainstream because it's mainstream, always have HUGE character issues. Because their beliefs can't be supported without extreme dishonesty, to themselves and everyone else. And ruthlessness. Contempt for democracy and belief in the rightness of subverting elections for the good of the people are typical. As for judgement!

Beliefs based on truth and considered valid by mainstream thinkers don't draw that kind of extremist. Only they can see what they do.

Really, what sensible Democrat believes Democrats are really just as bad as Republicans -- or actually worse for the country because we pretend to be better? We know better. It'd be crazy to believe that... Even more so to believe justified in doing whatever was necessary to rid our nation of our pernicious influence.

As for bathmouthing, we can't expect Turner to repeat her disastrous "bowl of shit" slip of how she really feels about OH-11's Democratic voters. She's back to selling herself as the bestest Democrat of us all.

Hope she chokes on it often.

Demonize them as corrupt, immoral, evil, racist, wealthy elites who hate the working class, a greater roadblock to progress than Republicans. The rule since 2016. Use the word "progressive" to mean anti-establishment, Democrats being the enemy establishment. Of course Nina will have to tone it down, but it's always there. The whole "revolution" scam is based on it. Democrats "take" bad money and all PACs helping them get elected are nefarious, but your campaign contributions and PACs are nice innocent grassroots.
