Soros is an American citizen. Thanks to a conservative SCOTUS decision, he apparently has every right to exercise political free speech via cold hard cash. Are you going to say anything similarly conspiratorial about Robert Mercer? Robert Uihlein? The Koch brothers?

I'm going to say that if these creeps donate millions and billions to Republican campaigns, cycle after cycle, with no effective objections from the court or Congress, that "foreign interference" is a nationalist dogwhistle and not a serious concern.

But the idea that 100k in facebook ads had any impact--whatsoever--on a race where many billions were spent is ridiculous.
Whataboutism? No, I'm just sticking with Soros for now. The rest are an exercise for others to complete. Color within the lines, please.
Soros is spending serious coin on influencing election in countries other than USA too.
