it's an old boys club out there.
crony capitalism at it's finest
60 minutes had a story a while back about what the balance sheet looks like before a politician goes to the beltway and then after. Quite startling as it was legal for them to use insider information to invest accordingly.
Even Lincoln did this with buying real estate knowing where the railroad was going to go.

Feinstein needs to go already, a career politician... more like a career thief.
Too bad this is a stupid state, so all she has to do is yell that she supports the "Latino kommunity" and she'll get reelected. Reasonable people can't get elected here.

The solution is simple. All assets of that family are confiscated and the family members are forced to work in a garbage dump for the rest of their lives doing the unpleasant work that the masses have to do.
Set a few examples like this and cronyism will be a thing of the past.
I hope I'm not being too abrasive,offensive or critical. Go to Hell Democrats,Republicans & any other Political Theology. Some vote as if
they are experiencing a religious epiphany. Their candidate can save the universe?

"By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care! Good honest hard-working people; white collar, blue collar it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-working people continue, these are people of modest means, continue to elect these rich cock suckers who don’t give a fuck about you….they don’t give a fuck about you… they don’t give a FUCK about you."
The senator's husband, Mr. Blum also basically owns and runs CBRE or CB Richard Ellis group, the mega commercial real estate company. You see their signs on many buildings advertising the vacant office space for lease. He's run this for decades.

Just gotta love those liberal royalists. Redistributing all that money to the needy.
Guess their needs for hundreds of millions of dollars of graft just trumps everybody else's, the working middle class will just have to be tapped for the giveaways to the welfare state.
Diane Feinstein believes that charity begins at home. Maybe they should just give here a special California office title, Carpetbagger in Residence on permanent re-election.

Maybe that is why she is so against them middle class fellers having guns?
The US has entered into a contract with a real estate firm to sell 56 buildings that currently house U.S. Post Offices. The government has decided it no longer needs these buildings, many of which are located on prime land in towns and cities across the country.
The sale of these properties will fetch billions of dollars and a handsome 6% commission to the company handling the sales. That company belongs to a man named Richard Blum. Who is Richard Blum you ask?
Why the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein, that's who. What a bunch of crooks we have running this country!
Senator Feinstein and her husband, Richard Blum, stand to make a fortune. His firm, C.R. I., is the sole real estate company offering these properties for sale. Of course, C.R.I. will be making a 6% commission on the sale of each and every one of these postal properties.
All of these properties that are being sold are all fully paid for. They were purchased with U.S. taxpayers dollars, and they are allowed free and clear by the U.S.P.S. The only cost to keep them is the cost to actually keep the doors open and the heat and lights on. The United States Postal Service doesn't even have to pay property taxes on these subject properties. Would you sell your house just because you couldn't afford to pay the electric bill?
Well, the Post Office is.
How does a powerful U.S. Senator from San Francisco manage to get away with such a sweet deal?
A powerful United States Senator's husband is standing by, all ready to make millions from a U.S. taxpayer funded enterprise.
No one in the mainstream media is even raising an eyebrow over his 6% commission on the sale of hundreds of millions of dollar's worth of quasi-public assets.
Pass this info on before it's pulled from the internet.
