The Bloom is Off The Ruse – Tom Donohue and U.S. Chamber of Commerce Announce Support for Far-Left Democrats in 2020…
The Last Refuge via Instapundit
A fifteen year argument is finally over.... We win. Most CTH readers probably don’t even remember the reason for the name: "The Last Refuge" upon this little corner of the internet. However, for well over a decade we have tried to share the truth behind the financial mechanisms that run Washington DC; and the primary machine has always been a completely corrupt, deceptive and anti-American U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Against the entirety of the conservative media; and against the entirety of every organized group that ever attended CPAC; this website has attempted to educate people about the genuinely fraudulent purposes of the U.S. CoC and their President Tom Donohue. I have written hundreds of articles over the years outlining "there are trillions at stake" and the elements of importance behind that statement. Every single mainstream conservative voice has denied the truth; and likely most of them are probably on the CoC payroll.

Every former administration took massive payments from the CoC and allowed the Chamber to write trade agreements language for decades. The CoC business model was to take payments from Wall Street multinationals and then write the agreements to their benefit. Politicians were paid to keep quiet and support the CoC. The chamber is the largest lobby organization in DC. The chamber spends more money on influence than any other lobbying group by a massive amount. The CoC is at the heart of DC corruption.

President Trump knew about the CoC business model; that’s why he never allowed them a seat at the ’America First’ table. That was the original source of our support for candidate Donald Trump. And now, after a decade of our trying to highlight the CoC scheme and the reason for it; yesterday, the U.S. Chamber dropped their pretense and admitted they were now supporting democrats because the CoC effort can only succeed by destroying Main St.

#5  The Chamber of Commerce has always been an open border, globalist organization. Just like most of the business people in it.

No surprise they see a threat in Trump to their over sea profits.

#6  Glad I withdrew my membership from the local CoC after a single year.
Posted by: Raj || 08/30/2020 10:00 Comments || Top||

#7  The bloom has been off the rose for sometime now. At one time the CoC was more interested in promoting business instead of embracing left-wing communist politics. What happened?
Posted by: JohnQC || 08/30/2020 10:28 Comments || Top||

#8  I’m sure they don’t think of themselves as embracing left-wing politics, but as supporting the team that understands their needs aw President Trump clearly refuses to do. All the rest is pragmatic acceptance of the cost of doing business.

#9  btw, the CoC is one of the largest contributors to political campaigns

#10  Chamber of Commerce is responsible for the decimation of US Tech, with H1B destroying local talent, and offshoring destroying the rest.

The Chamber of Commerce at a national level has been a primary cog in the wheels that drive the swamp. They are akin to the industrialists who backed Hitler. Screw thm.

#16  Veterans who survived WWII returned, married, had families, and built an amazing economic nation.

The only way foreign companies could destroy that was to buy influence somewhere in the US. So they started shshelling cash out to the Chamber.

Of all the hard working business owners I know, not one of them are a member of the Chamber.

#7  #5 I guess he really does think we're stupid.

The evidence shows that many voters are stupid.

Both in the "can't process information" sense and the "ignorant and proud of it" sense.

The Trump team needs to respond to this promptly instead of just assuming "everybody knows" wHitler did this.


See these quotes from an article in the Epoch Times for a sense of the "average voter"'s engagement (original is behind a paywall, hence this DailyPundit link)

#8  Big 10 and PAC 12 fans understand what happened and they are thoroughly ticked off.

Some are calling for all the college presidents who made the decision to cancel the season to be fired.

Antifa for Biden
Fred & Co.,

I just saw the strangest thing.

Went to "antifa.com" and a screen to donate to Biden for President came up.

The darndest thing...
Black Lives Matter has passed through donations to the Biden campaign for some time, but this connection is in the open.

#1  For the record I wouldn't believe Snopes if they told me my own name.
Posted by: CrazyFool || 08/30/2020 0:38 Comments || Top||

#2  Snopes tries to slice the issue so thin that it has only one side.

Fortunately, we can check it out for ourselves.
Posted by: Anomalous Sources || 08/30/2020 0:51 Comments || Top||

#3  Snopes is useful when they find themselves reluctantly compelled by overwhelming evidence to draw the true conclusion.
Posted by: trailing wife || 08/30/2020 1:09 Comments || Top||

#4  BLM and Antifa are peas in a pod: radical terrorist movements designed to overthrow the state. One emphasizes anarchist street violence; the other extortion and street theater. The goal is the same: cripple state authority and bring American liberal capitalism to its knees.

Democrats have supported this insanity. Democrats aided sedition and tried to distract our attention with four years of bullshit witch hunts

#5  If Snopes told me the sky is blue, I'd look out the window to confirm it.
Posted by: Raj || 08/30/2020 11:09 Comments || Top||

#6  Snopes, Soros, Gates, CNN, Farcebook, Twitter, MSNBC, YouTube, MSM in general: it is a miracle that (1) Trump got elected in 2016 and (2) how's he's able to still get things done.
Posted by: Clem || 08/30/2020 11:23 Comments || Top||

#7  BLM and Antifa are peas in a pod:

Various fronts of the international anarcho-communist syndicate that first emerged back in the 1930s as an organization of German Stalinists. The various names pop up and disappear like mushrooms, but like mushrooms they are all connected underground.

Trump Lands Major Endorsements From Democrat Mayors in Minnesota
[TOWNHALL] A number of Democrat mayors from Minnesota endorsed President Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election...
for a second term on Friday as Vice President Mike Pence campaigns in the state.

"Like many in our region, we have voted for Democrats over many decades. We have watched as our constituents' jobs left not only the Iron Range, but our country. By putting tariffs on our products and supporting bad trade deals, politicians like Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Candidate for president in 2020. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids....
did nothing to help the working class. We lost thousands of jobs, and generations of young people have left the Iron Range in order to provide for their families with good-paying jobs elsewhere. Today, we don't recognize the Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
. It has been moved so far to the left it can no longer claim to be advocates of the working class. The hard-working Minnesotans that built their lives and supported their families here on the Range have been abandoned by radical Democrats. We didn’t choose to leave the Democratic Party, the party left us," the letter, signed by Virginia Mayor Larry Cuffe, Chisholm Mayor John Champa, Ely Mayor Chuck Novak, Two Harbors Mayor Chris Swanson, Eveleth Mayor Robert Vlaisavljevich and Babbitt Mayor Andrea Zupancich, states.

"Yet, four years ago, something wonderful happened. Donald J. Trump was elected President of the United States, and he stood up to China, implemented tax cuts, and fought for the working class. Now, four years later, the Iron Range is roaring back to life and for the first time in a very long time, locals are hopeful because of this President's policies and willingness to fight for us," the mayors continue. "Lifelong politicians like Joe Biden are out of touch with the working class, out of touch with what the country needs, and out of touch with those of us here on the Iron Range and in small towns like ours across our nation."

#1  Scott Adams* has maintained that eventually, over time, Trump-haters will come around to the position that "Yeah, he's still crude and appalling, but I kinda sorta like what he is doing". Looks like that is happening, no doubt in part to the months-long riots, but also the economy and international trade. All the Democrats had to do was not be crazy...

* Dilbert cartoon guy, expert on persuasion, and one of the few people who called the election for Trump over Hillary. Yeah, we're looking at you, Nate Silver.
