It really is sickening isn’t it? Power corrupts absolutely.

But will it be reported by the mainstream Stasi stenographers?

This isn’t just a Dem game. The GOPe is just as corrupt. Both groups are anti America and need to be dealt with as such.

This is how it is done, folks.

In 2009, with the inauguration of Obama and the dawn of unified Democratic control of Washington, business boomed. Revenues at Tony’s firm close to doubled, and revenues at Heather’s firm increased by 50 percent. The money has continued to roll in. The Podesta Group had some $13 million in lobbying income in 2013, sporting clients such as Lockheed Martin, Wells Fargo, U.S. Airways, Walmart, and the National Biodiesel Board. Heather Podesta + Partners made some $4 million, lobbying on behalf of health companies, the American Beverage Association, Brookfield Power, DeVry University, and others. A portion of that money was recycled, contributing to Democratic campaigns, opening up avenues of influence: Tony gave some $45,500 in 2013, all to Democrats; Heather some $95,798 to Democrats, Democratic committees, and liberal groups.

As government expands, extending its reach to every aspect of business, every sector of the economy, private citizens and corporations require sherpas to lead them through the mountains of regulations and tax provisions, to discover exemptions and special favors and other forms of relief or favoritism to improve the bottom line. And who better to act as sherpas than the relatives of the Democrats who impose the regulations and tax provisions in the first place, who better than the lively proprietors of a family business operating in the luxurious and morally uncomplicated world of the caste of limousine liberals who dominate politics, culture, news, and finance.

Expat, we may have to hire one of these “sherpas” to figure out how to invest in a few years.

This nation would be so much better off if Washington, D.C. were suddenly nuked. Or smote from above as were Sodom and Gomorrah. Nothing good happens there.

Any misfortune that befalls the rotten Podesta clan is fine with me.

[Article] Tony and Heather Podesta reached the pinnacle of wealth and influence in Barack Obama’s Washington. Now they, like he, are in eclipse.

Dare we hope for the same for The Catamite and his Maximum Beard?
