Citizens United is a conservative 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization in the United States founded in 1988. In 2010, the organization won a U.S. Supreme Court ...



Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. 310 (2010), was a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States regarding campaign finance laws and free speech under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It was argued in 2009 and decided in 2010. The court held 5-4 that the free speech clause of the First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting independent expenditures for political campaigns by corporations, including nonprofit corporations, labor unions, and other associations.

NOW?
Teabaggers whine.

Which candidate did Citizens United target for persecution?

No charges against the armed thief.

Wrong!

The suspected thief, identified as Charles Rhodie, 59, was also charged with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon, as well as burglary, police said late Saturday.

Not persecution, $$$.
The perceived "deep state" of RWNJ is actually them, unlimited dark $$$ to THEIR candidates.

 

[g5000]

Alvin Bragg is quick to mete out justice. The garage attendant is charged with attempted murder.

Wrong again!

The POLICE have charged the attendant, not Bragg.

Jesus, can't you tards get ANYTHING right?

How much money did Soros give Bragg?
“Alvin Bragg is bought and paid for by George Soros and has repeatedly showed his hatred for President Trump based on purely political motives."
— Representative Anna Paulina Luna, Republican of Florida, in a Twitter post on Saturday
These claims are exaggerated.
While the link between Mr. Bragg and Mr. Soros exists, arguments that the district attorney was “bought” by the philanthropist are misleading.
Mr. Bragg announced his candidacy for the position in June 2019. Nearly two years later, on May 8, 2021, the political arm of Color of Change, a progressive criminal justice group, endorsed him. It pledged to spend $1 million on direct mailers, on-the-ground campaigning, and voter turnout efforts on his behalf. (It did not donate to Mr. Bragg’s campaign directly.) A few days later, on May 14, Mr. Soros contributed $1 million to the group, which intended to help Mr. Bragg with the money.
Color of Change did not meet its pledge. It eventually spent nearly $500,000 in support of Mr. Bragg. That amounted to about 11 percent of the group’s $4.6 million in total spending during the 2021-22 election cycle, according to the campaign finance website Open Secrets.

A spokeswoman for the political arm of Color of Change said that the group reviewed and interviewed reform-minded district attorney candidates each election cycle and that the process was independent of funders. Mr. Soros was just one of many large donors to the group. Past donors included members of the wealthy Pritzker family, the Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and the hip-hop group the Beastie Boys.
Mr. Bragg was not the only candidate Color of Change endorsed and aided through organizing efforts in 2021. The group also helped re-elect Larry Krasner, the district attorney of Philadelphia, by contacting more than 300,000 voters and sending nearly 200,000 pieces of direct mail on his behalf. In addition, it operated phone banks, ran advertisements and mobilized voters to support a local candidate in Virginia and a ballot initiative in Minneapolis.
Nor was Mr. Soros’s $1 million contribution particularly unusual. Mr. Soros gave to the group multiple times before it endorsed Mr. Bragg; he personally donated $450,000 between 2016 and 2018, and his political action committee, Democracy PAC, gave $2.5 million in 2020.
Neither Mr. Soros nor Democracy PAC contributed directly to Mr. Bragg’s campaign, according to Michael Vachon, a spokesman for Mr. Soros.

“George Soros and Alvin Bragg have never met in person or spoken by telephone, email, Zoom, etc.,” Mr. Vachon said. “There has been no contact between the two.”
Mr. Vachon also noted that Mr. Soros had been open about his yearslong support of progressive prosecutors. In a 2022 op-ed article in The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Soros explained his thoughts on overhauling the criminal justice system and wrote that “the idea we need to choose between justice and safety is false.”
“I have supported the election (and more recently the re-election) of prosecutors who support reform,” he wrote. “I have done it transparently, and I have no intention of stopping.”

Because of the opposition, Bragg was forced to drop the charges against the garage attendant.

That hoax has been debunked multiple times, fool. Soros donated a million dollars to a justice reform PAC. That PAC spend HALF a million dollars on a voter turnout drive and sending out mailers in support of Bragg.

Trump's claim that Soros gave "over a million dollars to Bragg" is a lie. I would think you damned rubes would have figured out a LOOOOOOOONG time ago to never believe anything Trump says.

But instead, you continue to gobble his shit like it's nectar of the gods. You have no clue what idiots you look like.

It's funny how you hypocrites are okay with rich donors giving money to Republicans but not Democrats.

Do you support the Citizen's United decision or not?

 

[g5000]

No. You were just wrong, that's all. You made shit up and got caught. Again.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

No. You were just wrong, that's all. You made shit up and got caught. Again.

Are you trying to say that Bragg never charged the attendant at all?

 

[bodecea]

Maybe Trump can fix that when he visits Tuesday.

trump is from NYC.

 

[g5000]

Are you trying to say that Bragg never charged the attendant at all?

The police charged the attendant. Not Bragg.

I've already shown this to you.

That poster lying? Shocking.

sorry for not falling for your bullshit post ... trump is going to jail !!! Trump is going to jail !!!
Trump is going to jail !!! Trump is going to jail !!! BWA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Chill. Trump is not going to jail. If he doesn't beat this, they'll offer him a deal to keep him out of jail.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Are you trying to say that Bragg never charged the attendant at all?

That is correct. It's the police who arrested the attendant. The DA's office ultimately chose not to prosecute.

Hmmmm. Not the way it was presented. I will try to find out more.

This is not the same case as the bodega worker a few months ago who was charged by the DA initially and then had the charges dropped after public outcry. In this case, the DA chose not to prosecute from the start.

Records show the soros funded "Color of Change PAC" that funded Bragg just after Soros gave them the money. Then there's the two soros family members that both contributed to Bragg. So this boils down to semantics.
Soros still funded Bragg, without having his name on the dotted line.
