Listening to the pearl-clutching from State Department foreign service officers; and looking at the circular laundry operation where DC politicians send taxpayer funds overseas and then use networks, friends and families to capture those same funds for their own personal financial benefit; while overlaying how much Hillary Clinton corruption the U.S. Justice Department, State Department and intelligence community hid in the 2016 election; the big picture emerges.
When politicians in Mexico or Afghanistan accept bribes we call it corruption, but when DC politicians participate in the exact same process we call it “lobbying”. It is no wonder the Clinton Foundation starts losing money as soon as the political influence over policy no longer exists. It is also no surprise why those same donors hate President Trump.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The situation is even worse than money laundering imo.
More specially, patriots are reminded that Justice Joseph Story had clarified that Congress was not to use the General Welfare Clause (1.8.1) as an excuse to justify foreign aid spending. In other words, foreign aid is unconstitutional.
”If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2
Not only have corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification DC lawmakers and executives used unconstitutional federal taxes to make US taxpayers involuntary servants to the recipients of foreign aid, but we are also involuntary servants to elected DC lawmakers!
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)
"The “Holy Grail” of organized crime is to control government power to tax." —me
"The 16th Amendment effectively repealed the involuntary servitude aspect of the 13th Amendment imo, evidenced by unconstitutional federal taxes." —me
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"13th Amendment, Section 1:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude [emphasis added], except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
"16th Amendment:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"The constitutionally undefined political parties are basically rival, corrupt voter unions, “union dues” paid by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.” —me
"Patriots need to support PDJT in demanding that Congress moves "April 15" tax day to the day before election day." —me
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me

Bless you ...... and God please save this country through the deeds of its good people.
Thank you very much for this—it explains a lot.
We need to stop electing the same kind greedy scumbags to represent us. We need people who represent us as a service to the community and country. The reps we have today only go to Washington to enrich their friends and themselves. The professional political class is poison.
There is a reason why the counties outside DC (including mine) are flooded with federal money money and it's getting worse.
A “contractor” with the right DNA and genitalia can clean-up by securing federal contracts. The premise of the movie "Wardogs" was very close to what actually happens. One can nibble on the outskirts of the federal feedbag and become incredibly fat and wealthy. I can't get out of here fast enough, this entire region needs to be cleaned.
The media are literally the Deep State government's propaganda apparatus, and they serve the people who are making billions off the Federal money redistribution machine.
Trump came along and F***ed up all their graft schemes. See the Clinton foundation going from 350 Million in contributions to 16 million in the hole after they lost power?
Trump has thrown a monkey wrench into their corruption and influence selling machinery, and they hate him because he has threatened their ability to use the power of government to enrich themselves."

Yes.
But if I may add ..... I really wish we all would STOP referring to this group of miscreants as "Elites".
They are NOT AT ALL 'elite' in any decent way.
Just because many of them have selfishly chosen to accumulate a disproportionate amount of wealth, privilege, and political power in a society does not qualify them as 'elite' in any meaningful way.
Generally .... they are just insecure, avaricious slugs.

Yes ..... protect and promote.

Your point is well taken.
We need to come up with a new phrase to define the high-powered scumbags in government and the private sector who are butt-hurt that Trump is President and all of the money they spent on Hillary and Jeb went to waste.

Exactly right. Term limits in the House and Senate would take care of that. Joe Biden and Hunter Biden as well as the Clintons and Obama should be jailed for the money schemes they have used to become wealthy.
Obama is strongly rumored to now personally own a great deal of gold from the former Libyan gold reserve, which he keeps in Spain, thanks to Moochelle’s holidays there..
Your welcome. With each passing year I seemingly learn how the tentacles of these various groups intertwine.
There is a lot of money at stake, and this is why a lot of stuff happens for reasons that are not always readily apparent.
You are welcome. It took me a long time to come to this view of things, but with each passing year I am presented with evidence that reinforces this view of what I have come to call the "Acela Corridor."
In this area live most of the people who actually rule us.
Thanks, lizma2. I’ve heard the quote but never knew who the author was.
