Hmm, seems like my definition of "secret" is way different than Bill Gates'.
Glad he donated it.. but it shouldn't be legal in the first place to anonymously donate large sums of money to political campaigns.
Donating large sums, itself, should not be legal.
I feel like a cap on how much campaigns are allowed to spend would be easier to enforce
Damn could you imagine if the budget was like, $15k?
And like, everyone had a shot?
Not with the current Supreme Court 😡
We need public funding of elections.
Dear Bill,
Please accept the following secret message: "That's not how secrets work."
All the best,

Bill Gates after reading this, "Its not secret anymore!"
How courageous of him…
Doesn't sound very secret
Shhh, no one tell, ok?
Huh, does this RBC Ukraine publication have any connection to RBC.ru? My disinformation senses are starting to tingle (although it seems like basically all the factual claims they're making have been backed up by other reporting).
e; turns out they broke away over a decade ago and had to fight their former owners in court, so they seem pretty independent of RBC .ru
it's not impossible to imagine that he donated in both directions.
Given everything we know about Bill Gates, his support of Trump would be extraordinarily unlikely.
They were both friends of Epstein weren’t they?
