In this story about how Bernie is raising the most money from active duty military, since Trump sold them out, #hope #change, there is this wonderful hilarious paragraph full of terrible things:
“Most of the people who have donated to former Vice President Biden’s campaign work at a law firm or a bank. Ten of the 20 employers on Sen. Warren’s list are elite universities. Buttigieg, a former naval intelligence officer, has received more from State Department employees than any other contender, and is the preferred candidate of those employed by agencies classified only as ‘U.S. Government.'”
Ain’t that great?
I gave a speech to the Committee For Responsible Foreign Policy on January 14.
It’s about not putting on trial the deals done with overseas oligarchs that MANY Washington politicians use to enrich themselves.
If this trial had come down to being about Hunter Biden, Ukraine and Burisma, it would shine a light on an old method that the Washington elite (our oligarchs) have been using for decades.
That has to be protected even at the cost of not getting re-elected.
Keep singing your government anthem and telling yourself you’re “free.”
And don’t forget to denounce anyone who knows better than you.
In The Nation, Eric Alterman reminds us of Elliot Abrams’s lying on behalf of Salvadoran death squads in the Reagan years.
This was 20 years before the W. Bush administration’s “El Salvador Option” in Iraq, using the Badr Corps to hunt and kill Sunnis, which backfired, leading to Abrams’s “Redirection” policy to start tilting back toward al Qaeda.
Later he thankfully botched a coup in Venezuela.
