The calls to remove Donald Trump from office began before Donald Trump assumed office. They’ve wanted him gone from pre-day one and remain determined to run him off Pennsylvania Avenue by hook, crook, or any other means necessary.
If not for firing James Comey, then go to Michael Flynn. If that peters out there’s Stormy and Avenatti. No traction? Russian collusion. Didn’t get him? Ukraine’s up next. The effort to oust Trump has been nonstop for three years and shows no signs of slowing.
Why? Why is the inside-the-beltway permanent political class so determined to send Trump packing? Because he’s not a member of “The Club.”
Yes Trump is ruff, gruff, combative, and bombastic, but there’s lots of Club members who are all of those things, yet they’ve been around Washington for decades. Truth is that The Club has been effectively insulating itself from the American people, enriching itself and its family members by burying self-pay schemes in the largess of government, and Trump is a threat. There are dark corners inside The Club’s clubhouse, lots of them, and Trump is wandering around with a flashlight.
Upon her private email server being subpoenaed by a congressional investigative committee, Hillary Clinton sent the computer to be professionally wiped clean of all files and then turned it over. Yet, the same people who expressed no interest in pursuing that clear obstruction of justice have been calling secondhand witnesses to a phone call, whose transcript has already been made public!
In his amazing tell-all book, "Drain the Swamp: How Washington Corruption Is Worse Than You Think," U.S. Congressman Ken Buck (R-CO) describes how, upon his arrival as a freshman legislator, he bounced from cocktail party to cocktail party, soiree to soiree: “Waiters swarmed the rich, red carpets offering equally rich hors d’oeuvres. Fancy cheese and fruit trays decorated circular tables laden with salmon and tenderloin appetizers. Elegant orchids adorned the tables and wine flowed freely. The entire room swelled with the dulcet strains of a string quartet.”
All this opulence caused Buck to wonder, “Who’s paying for all of this?!”
We of course know the answer. Club members have at their direct disposal hundreds of billions of dollars and indirectly, multiple times more. There’s a reason they’re more concerned about Trump’s inquiry into Joe Biden’s dealings than they are with Biden’s dealings. Washington Club members have been money laundering taxpayer dollars guised up as “foreign aid,” “military aid,” and “humanitarian aid” back to themselves through family, friends, foreign nations and corporations for decades. Ukraine is not unique.
While he was vice president, Joe Biden's brother, James, with no real background in housing and real estate development, went to work for a company that was then awarded a $1.5 billion federal contract to (re)construct houses in Iraq. How does that happen?
Also while he was vice president, Biden's son, Hunter, with no real background in oil and gas, secured a paid position on one of Ukraine's largest gas company's (Burisma Corp.) board that compensated him $83,000 per month.
How many companies hire someone with no experience for $83,000 per year, let alone per month?
Maxine Waters (D-CA), who won her last reelection bid with 76 percent of the vote, has paid her daughter, Karen Waters, $750,000 of campaign-funded money to help get mailers out. (Now imprisoned) former Florida Representative Corrine Brown set up a phony charity to grift money from donors under the guise of helping the poor, money which she paid to herself to support a lavish lifestyle.
These egregious examples of self-enrichment are Democrats, but such activities are certainly not unknown on the other side of the political aisle. It’s been going on for decades, allowed by politicians who were/are either too green to know how the game works, are involved and complicit themselves, or have learned to look the other way rather than blow a whistle, lest their political careers come to a screeching halt by those in power above them who control the (campaign) purse strings and (committee assignment) keys to purgatory.
Since forever, The Club has been cutting deals and running scams for themselves and their families through which they end up filthy rich, incredibly powerful, travel the world at no personal expense, and eat quail on crackers—all not only behind their constituents’ backs, but with those constituents’ dollars.
In Trump there’s finally someone at the helm who is not a part of the cabal, not a part of The Club, who has his own money, whose children don't need shady, foreign board of directors’ side deals. And, he's a threat to blow the whole thing up. He's shining lights into corners that they prefer remain dark. They must get rid of him; they can't allow this outsider and his flashlight to run roughshod inside the clubhouse. Dark corners must remain dark, no candles allowed. So for three straight years, they’ve looked for something, anything to get his wick snuffed out.
That's what's really going on.
They are afraid he will expose what they have been up to.
What’s missing is the usual feeling you get that something is missing.
The media has millions of people brainwashed to support the Deep State criminals even as they waste their tax money. That and many millions more would gladly knowingly vote for crooks as long as they are promised “free” stuff. Our country is being stolen out from under us.
The Hegelian dialectic concept has come into play a lot over the years.
Oh much more. Since the real puppet masters are those who own the primary world financial institutions, a Trillion is just pocket change.
Thanks for posting. OUTSTANDING article. HOORAY Derrick Wilburn!
Even Karl Marx would spit on these....
BOURGEOIS, SOCIALISTS
A part of the bourgeoisie is desirous of redressing social grievances, in order to secure the continued existence of bourgeois society.
To this section belong economists, philanthropists, humanitarians, improvers of the condition of the working class, organisers of charity, members of societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, temperance fanatics, hole-and-corner reformers of every imaginable kind. This form of Socialism has, moreover, been worked out into complete systems.
We may site Proudhon’s Philosophie de la Misere as an example of this form.
The Socialistic bourgeois want all the advantages of modern social conditions without the struggles and dangers necessarily resulting therefrom. They desire the existing state of society minus its revolutionary and disintegrating elements.
Communist Manifesto pg 49.
It’s why the freezer money mob hates him their cash flow is on slow without kickback deals.
A lot of Biden’s in D.C..
Replacing Ginsburg would only make it 5-4 conservative. Roberts is not reliably conservative.
Thanks for the ping/post; thanks to all posters.
Liberals are acquiring a ‘stench of desperation’..
Without the black vote to prop white liberal ‘elites’ up... (and to offer excuse for their sordid behavior) they’re toast.
Finally, someone gets it. Not only is the democrat corrupt gravy train coming to an end, they are all going to jail.
Heh.....I like it.
How about banning paid lobbyists entirely? Nothing stopping a business owner or an affected citizen from doing his own lobbying.
If it's really important, find the time yourself.
Just a thought...
Hunter partnered with Kerry's son in a private equity firm making deals. You can be certain that Clinton and Obama were in on it.
Once a competent investigation starts unraveling the network of connections, the whole DC swamp becomes implicated. On both the Democrat and Republican sides.
All true, unfortunately! There’s no mention of Elijah Cummings and his financial dealings for the past 5 years. He went from seriously in debt to worth millions “mysteriously” before he died. Now his widow has it all and wants to run for his seat. Can’t let the gravy train move on down the track away from her, now can we?
People have been murdered for pocket change.
Imagine how much more motivation control of a multi-trillion dollar economy, the world's best military the largest nuclear arsenal, and the intangible ego stroke of everyone having to be respectful and deferential to you no matter how poorly you treat them.
And then there's that little thing about traitors being hanged.
For these people eliminating Trump is viewed as a quite literal matter of life and death!
Self defense, really...
Is the Congressman a a closet Freeper and is he reading my post. My sardonic / acromonious post on this subject go back eons. We all knew in our gut about these free food spreads and other bennies. No Freepers we were not freaking crazy. Worse, those that live their breed their. They marry there own types. Why didn't Chelsea and the Bush girls marry a Fireman, Plumber, Chiropractor, or a CNC Machinist from the heartland instead of politico's that have no connection to real America? Cut their pay, Make them go on Obamacare, Close down their Pension System, send them home, and of course Term-Limits.....
Scary thought,
But we’ve already
been
Through
“The Grassy Knoll.”
The lucky ones go to jail.
