Last I checked Israel has no goals to destroy America, so be a good boy and tell us how much China, Russia, Iran etc are spending.ITS DA JOOOS!Israel owns far more. And causes us to stay in the ME, and be entangled there, even though we have no reason to be.The "threat" Russia represents is so exaggerated that I just don't have the right words. Never was there a better example of making a mountain out of a mole hill. You're all fucking ridiculous.
JFC...
However the vastly underreported story is how dangerous China is..... How many congressmen and Senators they actually own through back channels... how much illegitimate campaign money comes into this country through Mexico from China. It's huge....It's 10 times bigger than anything Russia ever thought about doing...And it's very well protected.

You demonic retards are hilarious.
Dude, don't lump me in with low information nut bags.
You know all I post are facts.
If something I wrote triggers you? Then examine your own biases if you don't like facts.
AIPAC doesn’t contribute directly to candidates. Which pro-Israel groups do?

". . .Though AIPAC as an organization cannot contribute to campaigns, individuals who work for the organization have. In the 2018 election cycle, individuals affiliated with the organization donated just $21,350 to 14 different candidates, nine of whom were Democrats. No one associated with AIPAC gave any contributions to McCarthy.
AIPAC said in a tweet on Sunday night that “We are proud that we are engaged in the democratic process to strengthen the US-Israel relationship. Our bipartisan efforts are reflective of American values and interests. We will not be deterred in any way by ill-informed and illegitimate attacks on this important work.”
AIPAC is a significant player in terms of lobbying, accounting for the vast majority of lobbying spending by pro-Israel groups, spending more than $3.5 million in 2018. The organization was staunchly opposed to the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2015, lobbied extensively against it and supported the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the agreement.
Other pro-Israel groups are also prominent and active political spending forces each cycle. The 2018 midterms saw groups in the movement contribute more than $14.8 million, the highest total for them in a midterm since 1990. Contributions went predominantly towards Democrats who received 63 percent. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) received by far the most money from pro-Israel groups in 2018 with $546,507.
In comparison, McCarthy received just $33,200 from pro-Israel groups in the midterms. In all, 269 members of the House and 57 members of the Senate received some monetary contributions from pro-Israel interests in 2018.. . . "

". . . Got that? The Trump transition team — in the form of key Trump advisers Kushner and Flynn — reached out to the Russian government in order to undermine the U.S. government because the Israeli government asked them to.
Where’s the outrage? How is the sheer “scope and audacity” of the Trump-Netanyahu backchannels — to quote one U.S. official who spoke to me on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak publicly on this issue — not a bigger story? For a start, as University of Chicago law professors Daniel Hemel and Eric Posner argued in a New York Times op-ed on Monday, the much-mocked Logan Act of 1799 remains “a serious criminal statute that bars citizens from undermining the foreign policy actions of the sitting president.” These two legal scholars point out that “if Mr. Flynn violated the Logan Act, then so did the ‘very senior’ official who directed his actions. If that official is Mr. Kushner, then Mr. Kushner could go to jail.”
