President Trump Disrupted DC’s Ability to Monetize Government…

Posted on 11/21/2019 2:05:05 PM PST by a little elbow grease

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.

”[…] and looking at the circular laundry operation where DC politicians send taxpayer funds overseas [emphasis added] […]"
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!)

Corruption is the core of the DC establishment business model - and Trump is bad for business. Nothing more complicated than that.

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.

The extent of the casual corruption in DC is mind boggling. There is a reason they become millionaires, their mediocre offspring go to ivy league schools and become millionaires.

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.

"I have long thought of the media as a tool for creating the conditions necessary (election of Democrats) for Federal graft and that they are given their marching orders by people connected to this graft cartel.

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."

"Once again, Sundance aptly explains the motives behind why the Elite are demanding the Democrats do all they can to depose Trump."

_____________________

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.

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.
