#1 Like it started with Comey?

#2 He marveled in a recent New York Times interview about how much money he was making. "It’s a lot," he gushed. "Seriously, it’s crazy."

If $6 million/year is not crazy, then one has to wonder just how much crazy goes for these days.

#3 ...notice that comrades Warren and Sanders never seem to be interested in how critters of the swamp suddenly make so much money way above the average working citizen. Must be 'professional courtesy'.

#4 More corrupt than J. Edgar.

$6 million a year: corruption hidden in plain sight.

Like Zero's payola from NFLX.

Gore's payola from GOOG and KPMG.

Kerry's Sept 2008 insider-trading payola.

Ex-HHS chief Donna Shalala's pay-shalala from United Health.

Billary's Global Grifter payola from nearly everyone.

La Familia Biden's baksheesh from Iraq reconstruction,
ChiComs, Ukraine and Lord-knows-where-else.

Our age is the most corrupt era since the late 19c.

#5 For comparison's sake look at the wealth of our current crop of incompetent, corrupt Washington buffoons and compare them with ex-presidents from the second half of the 20th century.

Neither Clinton nor Gore has ever created a patent, launched a product, or discovered a blockbuster drug or major oil reserve, yet each had accumulated a post-Washington fortune that is far north of $100 million.

Let that sink in: 100 MILLION DOLLARS. For doing nothing.

Zero's close behind. 68 million for this no-talent bum -- an obvious, in-your-face, f-you, bitches! payout for all those years of prevailing on the FCC to shield a crap company from real competition.

And in their train is a long parade of Grifters, grabbing 7-figure payouts from publicly-traded large companies which they should have been regulating but never did when they were in power in Washington: Google, UnitedHealth, Uber, Facebook...

Now compare these shameless whores to their predecessors.
Did any president from Truman through Reagan go for the gold post-office? I can't think of one.

LBJ was the closest to these clowns, but he's already made his fortune in radio stations BEFORE he acceded to the presidency. Eisenhower served as president of Columbia University. Nixon wrote his memoirs. Ford played golf. Carter built houses for the poor. Reagan hung out at his ranch.

No age in memory is as corrupt as ours.

End this Shitshow.

#6 *Gore's payola from GOOG and Kleiner Perkins, not KPMG. Apologies to the bean-counters.

#7 Attaboy, Lex - putting the RANT into Rantburg!

Oh, and fuck KPMG with a Christmas tree - they turned me down for a job about thirty years ago, f'n stuffed shirt snob CPA's...
