Billionaire pushes Trump impeachment. Dems resist.
The looters are coming out into the open now. They have manufactured enough incidents to get the gun restrictions and ultimate confiscations well underway, and now the big money lootersa are really rolling. I cannot be convinced to think all this is just a coinincidence, any more than all the crap that happened with Obama and Hillary were just a "coincidence". I think we are seeing a full mustering of all the Looter forces and if they grab power again, it will never be relinquished. They just screwed up and didn't rig enough election offices and ballot boxes. They wont make the same mistake twice, this guy is proof.
But do not fret, wannabe commie globalists, the Bad Hair Day Orange Tangerine can only play fireman for two-or-six more years tops.
Me dino checked out "show more" in comments under the article. Twice I read "Impeachment for what?"
Such is what I kept looking for when I read the article.
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.”

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
