So hey, the Repubs are loving their Blacks.......15 million dollars to Tim Scott's campaign.....🤬

Tech billionaire Larry Ellison gave a massive $15 million donation to a super PAC aligned with Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) in January, one of the biggest political donations of the 2022 election cycle so far.

The contribution, detailed in a new campaign finance filing from Opportunity Matters Fund, is the latest — and largest — step in a budding political relationship between the senator and the Oracle chair. Ellison was already the pro-Scott super PAC’s biggest supporter, having given a pair of donations totaling $10 million in 2020 and 2021. Scott traveled to Ellison’s Hawaii home on Lanai Island last year for a meeting, POLITICO reported.

You are free to work, consume, watch tv, check a box every couple years, and shut the fuck up. That is the extent of "freedom and democracy" in this country.

The myth of American exceptionalism is alive and well.
