3. Businesses and corporations are usually transactional in their donations and give money to

both parties depending on what they need but I can't think of anything they'd need from Nunes that isn't bad. Maybe it's to keep Nunes off their backs .... or they're colluding. Peter Thiel does sit on the board.

2. Jamie Raskin took issue with the topic.

GOPers are bullies. They always dish it out (usually and most cases lies) but can't stomach pushback.

Such wussies.

9. Hate isn't selling anymore! That's why!

And the GOP are a bunch of hateful dicks! If they want to know why conservatives keep getting blocked, it's because they are so bitter and hateful!
