Gee, $4.1 million seems like a scary amount of money. I just used an ancient woke technique called “mathematics” to look at that. It turns out that the informants risking their lives to infiltrate these groups were making up to $32k a year. That’s about $15 an hour. They’re practically billionaires! Guessing all the time spent attending cross burnings, goose stepping marches, and other Republican events was all unpaid overtime.

So $4.1 million over 16 years to 8 (or more) informants for risking their lives in some cases comes to the grand total of just over $32,000 a year. I'll bet they are living on champagne and caviar with that windfall.

Must they make me love the SPLC even more than I do already?

So —- licks pencil —- the informants each got - gasp!! - $30,000 a year. As George Takei might observe, “Oh my…”

Back in the 60's, a low-level CIA tech would have at least an hour's commute, if not longer, to be able to afford a place to live on their salaries.

There are instances of CIA employees selling sensitive and classified information to Soviet spies for $20,000, the equivalent of one year's pay.

How are the Trump Nazis gonna keep Naziing if they keep getting infiltrated and exposed? It’s almost like they’re victims or something. Or just white supremacist shitheels.

Good to know they're putting my donations to good use.

A mere preview of the fountain of bullshit to come from the new Attorney Genital.

SPLC should have sent GI Robot to infiltrate the neo-Nazi groups.

I can't afford to donate to SPLC this year because we're moving, and that's sucking every available penny, sesterce, drachma, yen, sheckel, etc, but I have donated to them for about 15 years, and will do again after we recover from these expenses.

Evan should clean up his language….never mind, fuck it. Sounds good to me.

If he really wants to clean up his language, I recommend Bon Ami.

I donated money to the SPLC once. I had no idea they infiltrated hate groups, but now that I know I consider it money well spent!

Does it really say pizza rolls or is it Evan being snarky?

I approve of the SPLC's use of my donation.

Kinda sounds like they are describing Clarence Thomas and his drunk wife.

Buying dinner for a Nazi? Prosecute Trump as well as.

Putting a Nazi on the payroll? Who hired Seb Gorka?

Once these Nazi fucks have been disposed of (with votes), Congress needs to change things up a bit, so that bogus indictments and malicious prosecutions can't be carried out with impunity while hiding behind prosecutorial immunity rules. Monsters like Bondi and Blanche should be accountable for their crimes regardless of the offices they held (and abused.)
