Your argument pivoted from saying sarcastically that sludge is a “totally legit” source solely based on its URL, comparing it to a trick that could “melt body fat while you sleep”, and that they “pretend to report the news” to sludge’s reporting might differ from the original news report. Weird how you used to believe that sludge was totally invalid just from reading the URL, and now you believe that sludge has the potential to be incorrect. Maybe that’s why I can’t understand your argument, it changed over time. I did you a favor and read the original government document and found the relevant information. The document. Here are some:
“by removing the general requirement to report names and addresses of substantial contributors to tax-exempt organizations...”
“...removing the annual reporting requirement will lessen their compliance burden.”
“Without a tax administration need for annual reporting name and address information...”. The article is extremely long, so I found 3 instances where the document clearly says that the IRS will now remove regulations requiring non profits to disclose donor information. All the articles I listed said that’s what the IRS did. The sources I listed did not obfuscate or misrepresent the document in any way. Now that we’ve established that the sources did not misrepresent the original document, they have free reign to have their opinion on it. Their conclusion is that the new rule will now effectively allow the illegal funneling of foreign funds through non profits into us politicians, which is wrong. I agree with this conclusion. Now that that’s dealt with, we can talk about me being “pissy.” If you don’t like me cursing then fine, I won’t curse.
