That is just obscene and should be the subject of it's own special prosecutor, but that will never happen, the swamp creatures need their feed. Anyone who thinks that throwing around 90 millions is not corruption, is deluded and insane, yet the swamp creatures and the SCOTUS defend it, telling you which side of the fence they are on, and it is NOT ours.

YES. YES. and YES. Every attempt has been manipulated and lauded as wonderful and yet was a total failure. That is why we need the Convention of States to put in place Term Limits and Campaign limits. All it does is spiral out of control, didn't Hillary manage to steal a billion in the last one?

The report "Hypocrisy...." is not on the net but the words can be seen on this site:

Perfect example of why election rules should limit campaign spending to $1 per eligible voter in the district represented (based on the participation in the previous election)- that's an overall limit for each candidate for the entire election cycle starting the day after the previous election.
No individual or company should be able to donate more than ten dollars to any campaign, (and zero dollars to any campaign outside the resident district of the person or headquarters of the company.)
No one should be allowed to run for re-election for any office, and having held that office anywhere he/she should never be allowed to run again for a like office in another location, nor be allowed to lobby, nor be allowed to work in any position with contact to the federal government.
End all career politicians.
End all expensive political races (that promote corruption.)
And, of course, don't fund the federal government except with voluntary taxes (e.g.,consumption taxes on non-essentials) and user fees for services rendered with no government monopoly on those services- free market competition for everything government does.

"Steyer just wants a different President "
In July 2016, the Energy & Environment Legal Institute, a non-profit watchdog group, released a report titled “Buying the Democrat Party Lock, Stock and Barrel,” which details how Steyer “is seeking to protect his solar energy investments by spending tens of millions of dollars on key 2016 races, buying a plank in the 2016 Democrat platform, and trying to silence debate from those who challenge his view on ‘climate change’ by using select attorneys general to prosecute ‘dissenters.’”

Steyer’s total political spending in the 2016 elections came to $89,794,744. That amount was $12 million more than the leading conservative donor, and nearly as much as the next three liberal contributors combined. The New York Times reported on January 8, 2018 that Steyer pledged to spend $30 million to get Democrats elected to Congress with the aim of impeaching President Donald Trump. If you add in the $73,725,000 Steyer spent in the 2014, he has dedicated more than $193 million of his personal fortune to elect Democrats, mostly at the federal level, in just three federal election cycles. In none of those cycles has Steyer’s goal of giving Democrats control of Congress come to pass.

thanks...I will add it to my reading list...

Excellent read. After I read "The Creature...", I ran into a book titled "None Dare Call It Conspiracy" by Gary Allen and Larry Abraham, which predates "The Creature...", but offers similar information and adds to the topic.

It seems to be getting down to that..sadly...

I don't think they did learn their lesson--if they ever do.

read ..."The Creature from Jekyll Island"....

If they impeach Trump, they'll have to impeach me too. If anything removes him from office other than the end of his second term, they'll also have to remove me.

I'm getting to the point of a proposed suing the Democratic Party for Undue Stress or something similar, due to their fictitious accusations and divisions they are causing across this country (and around the world). I believe the world too is now waiting to see how this all comes out, if our democracy is broken or not. Are there any big civil rights lawyers out there willing to take on a huge class action suit? I think my idea holds a lot more water than the lawsuit the democrats are proposing, and I've got a lot more facts and proof than they do.

I said before the election that if Hillary was elected, the road over the cliff into collectivist totality was a given but if Trump was elected, he would provide some speed bumps but the megatrend of destruction of freedom would win in the end. The irrational-minded libtards and Muslims will see to it.

I have no evidence, but I get a very powerful feeling that the whole impeachment thing is going to boomerang and hit the Dems in the head. Or what is left of their heads.

I think this dude should voluntarily pay more of HIS income to taxes that support leftist ideals, instead of trying to take MY money to do it.

The Epic Hypocrisy of Tom Steyer

Billionaire hedge fund operator and “green” energy magnate Tom Steyer has pledged $100 million in the 2014 election cycle to help Democratic candidates who oppose the Keystone pipeline and who favor “green” energy over fossil fuels. Steyer claims to be a man of principle who has no financial interest in the causes he supports, but acts only for the public good. That is a ridiculous claim: Steyer is the ultimate rent-seeker who depends on government connections to produce subsidies and mandates that make his “green” energy investments profitable. He also is, or was until recently, a major investor in Kinder Morgan, which is building a competitor to the Keystone pipeline. Go here, here, here, here, here and here for more information about how Steyer uses his political donations and consequent connections to enhance his already vast fortune.

But Steyer’s hypocrisy goes still deeper. Today, he is a bitter opponent of fossil fuels, especially coal. That fits with his current economic interests: banning coal-fired power plants will boost the value of his solar projects. But it was not always thus. In fact, Steyer owes his fortune in large part to the fact that he has been one of the world’s largest financers of coal projects. Tom Steyer was for coal before he was against it.

A reader with first-hand knowledge of the relevant Asian and Australian markets sent us this detailed report on how Steyer got rich on coal. He titled his report “Hypocrisy & Hedge Funds: Climate Change Warrior Tom Steyer’s Secret Life as Coal Investment Kingpin.”

I wish Steyer would spend $800MM of his money on ads, rallies, etc... to impeach the President, push his favorite candidates and issues only to lose on every point (he spent $70MM in 2016 only to mostly lose). Then perhaps he would retreat into his overpriced SF mansion and stop bothering us.

getting very old listening to people wanting to impeach the president. after all is said and done he may very well win a second term, and will they still want to impeach the guy? i guess when one is a billionaire they "think" they can control the country. the man is a jerk of the first order.

Remember the oligarchs of Late Commie Russia, who held that empire together for a few years before the implosion, and then became much more powerful afterwards as the looted the country, then learned the hard way that the state can still have you killed, take all your money, when you do not do what they say. He will go the same way in post revolution America, but not until his efforts have destroyed the current creaky system that refuses to fix itself.

Since Nov 2016 they have screamed "impeachment" for ANYTHING. These people are not using the system as constituted, they are using it because they mistakenly think it will WORK for them, just as it was successfully defeated in the past. Much as Hillary was found not guilty of being a traitor and corrupt criminal, by an equally corrupt FBI, they defended any previous impeachments, and now want to use the same system to get their own way. The problem is the vast amount of money some of these "billionaires" can bring to the fight may be able to buy that impeachment, even when it is not warranted.

I know we have had a string of failures..the issue is the system behind them that puts them in place, a lot of it being campaign fince. The money being blown on elections is tremendous and each election is now "bought" by the one with the biggest war chest, leading to selling your soul for votes. BHDOT made things a bit better by not accepting govt payoffs, but also did not have govt restrictions and still drew in a huge amount, plus his own. If the Dumbocraps learned their lesson from the Hitlery debacle, they will own the Senate and House and buy the Presidency in 2020, and the takeover will then be completed, a little behind schedule.

I don't like this movement to attack politicians on legal technicalities instead of their policies. To my non-expert understanding, there's no evidence proving President Trump committed any crimes, so I don't even understand how they could impeach him. He looks guilty, like someone who runs from the cops, but that alone doesn't show he broke the law. My gut feeling is he's innocent, and if he broke the law it was only on some legal technicality.

The Good:
- Congress is not willing to pursue a politically motivated impeachment.
- The article says most people would not favor a a politically-motivated impeachment.
- Mr. Steyer is raising the important issue of the nuclear launch codes and indirectly of presidential power. He's right about that. Congress has the power to declare war, but that has now gone to the president, partly because of the need for a rapid response to a nuclear attack. When President Obama was expanding presidential power, I said I like what he's doing but not the Exec branch, and certainly not one person, having those powers. At the time I said we should imagine a complete clown with those powers. We no longer need to imagine. Maybe that will lead to limits on executive power.

The Bad: 42% said an impeachment would earn their vote. I see this as the same crap as as President Trump wanting to lock up his opponents, which is horrible.

I don't know, but I do not think there's any ugly going on behind the scenes. Steyer just wants a different president and thinks this is a way to do it.

Steyer is the epitome of the left's immorality and hypocrisy.

He made his billions on coal then became the most vicious green, pushing his agenda whether people want it or not.

His is an example of a wealthy person using his wealth for destruction.

The other example is Soros.

Not in echo chambers that lie between some ears.

Yeah, Dino, I noticed the same thing. Lots of emotional verbiage, but where's the substance?
