Well, if you read POTUS’ tweets from a few minutes ago, he really goes after Corker. I don’t watch the Sunday news programs but I suspect Corker might have been on bad mouthing POTUS and/or his tax plan.

Good riddance to bad trash.

Then came Gov. Bill Haslam, like Corker a “moderate” establishment Republican from East Tennessee.

Corker's dishonest deals in Tennessee are well known, especially with his connections to the refueling stations across the state. He's as bad as the Butchers. Alexander was a decent man until he became a professional politician. He replaced a most dishonest Governor honorably around 1978. The former AG of Tennessee was a good friend and told of all of the corruption of the Blanton administration while we were camping. It made for good conversation and heightened my skepticism of the government.

The Governor Bill Haslam departure story is interesting too. Those Pilot and Flying J travel centers you see up and down the interstate are owned by the Haslam family's Pilot (50.1%), FJ Management (11.3%) and Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (38.6%).

Seems their corporate offices in Knoxville were raided by the FBI and the IRS back in 2013. Pilot Flying J paid restitution to customers and agreed to pay a $92 million penalty.

An additional issue was the fact that Governor Haslam was pushing for a gas tax increase that would have boosted Pilot's revenues.

Governor Bill Haslam's brother Jimmy, the chairman of Pilot Flying J, was also Senator Corker's roommate at the University of Tennessee. All kinds of interesting connections. Needless to say, all these guys are #NeverTrumpers.

Good on Breitbart for taking out RINO’s, but try taking out a few Dems, too. Please!
