How Do Congressmen Get So Rich?

Post: # 115243Post Canis Minor »

Elon Musk says DOGE is going to be looking at how Congress critters manage to get richer than all get/out. Gee, no wonder why the scum in Congress so hate Elon!

Money is their god. Don't for one minute think they are going to DC to serve the people. And that goes for both wings of the Uniparty.

Start with traitor McConnell. His wife is connected and her mommy made it all possible.

So basically these rich Congressmen are simply crooked politicians bilking the taxpayers and throwing their own constituents under the proverbial bus. Yet, stupid people attack Elon Musk for exposing them!

Outside of a very few, most congress critters are there for the  ego -  power - and the money.
They know once they get elected, they have a life time job.
Selling their votes to the highest lobbyist, is a trait they learn to perfect.

You know they are all criminals and protect each other because for going on 20 years the doj and fbi have known people sell children for sex to the elites and not one person has been arrested except epstein and maxwell but funny enough, they were arrested and thrown in jail for trafficking women and children to nobody.......
