Following the Example of the Fund for Clintons, the Foundation for McCains Refuses to Disclose Its Largest Donor's Largesse

And John McCain is the guy who brought us the McCain-Feingold Campaign "Reform" Act, requiring anyone who gives $250 or more to a political campaign to be disclosed.

I didn't make that connection. That's in Richard Pollock's article:

The McCain Institute for International Leadership executives refuse to disclose how much money big donors have contributed to the nonprofit that's named after Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.
McCain was the architect of the landmark Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002-- more popularly known as "McCain-Feingold" -- that required public disclosure of all contributions of at least $250 in federal elections. Former Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold co-sponsored the measure with McCain.
But the McCain Institute -- created in 2012 with an $8.7 million donation of funds remaining from McCain's unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign - refused Monday to disclose the amounts it received from its biggest donors who gave $100,000 or more....

They did divulge a list of people who had given $100,000 or more. But they didn't specify how much each had given, except that they'd given $100,000... or more.

Pollock points out this is "misleading," as some donors -- like a Saudi organization -- are listed as giving $100,00 or more, but in fact they gave a lot more: Ten times more, in fact. A cool million.

The McCain Institute is refusing to specify how big their donations are from large donors.

3 Willowed:

The Saga:

Night. An old gothic building in a crumbling east coast city. Robed men and women, their hoods hiding their identity enter and pass through hallways littered with plaster dust and graffiti. Down to large room with broken windows where a fire burns in a bronze vessel. Eldritch signs have been scored into the tiles pavers and each figure takes a place before a sign.

"The High Elders of GOP meet here tonight. A great evil threatens us. I speak of the Golden Scalp Weasel." The leader tosses dust into the fire and the smoke takes on the shape of the Golden Scalp Weasel preening.
"Master, this creature has been here for two years, and now he is a threat?" one asks.
"You fail to see, Wick Rilson," the leader intones. The beast has defied us and won the White House. The Democrats were to keep it at bay, hobble it, shear off the pelt, but they have failed. If the beast succeeds in Making America Great Again, none shall witness us, our speaking fees and consultant contracts will dry up and we shall be as the bus station hobos, prey for Ewoks. This must not be."
The others murmur their agreement.
"I have contacted one who hates the Golden Scalp Weasel with a deeper hate than us, a hate that comes from the molten core of the earth, forged in the smithies of Gehenna. Meet our new partner."
The cloud of smoke shifts to reveal a diabolical visage, twisted by unspeakable ambitions and merciless greed, the insatiable maw breaks into a ghastly grin of false bonhomie that causes the High Elders of the GOP to flinch.
"Hello," Hillary croaks. "This shall be so much fun, I have a hundred different recipes for weasel stew I have been waiting to try."
*********
To Be Continued.

35 Ahem.

No foundations, charities, head fakes, or other sketchy BS by anyone that has held elected federal office for 10 years AFTER they have left office. No, you cannot collect contributions in the meantime.

This has gotten to be such a rotten way of cordoning off a personal slush fund that it has to stop.

115 In 2008, I was anyone but McCain. So logically the GOP establishment picked McCain.

In 2012, I was anyone but Romney. So logically, the GOP establishment picked Romney.

In 2012, I was anyone but Jeb. And Trump very publicly pointed out that the GOP establishment wanted Jeb.

Turns out I wasn't the only one sick of the GOP establishment's choices.

Equality of stock in trade
Come and join the brotherhood of man
Oh what a nice contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the red star proudly high in hand

Fill the hallowed halls
We are the priests

245 HARRISONBURG, Va. -- A man paid to register Virginia voters prior to the 2016 Presidential Election will spend at least 100 days in prison for submitting the names of deceased individuals to the Registrar's Office.

James Madison University student Andrew J. Spieles, 21, of Harrisonburg, pled guilty Monday in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. As part of the plea agreement, Spieles agreed to a prison sentence of 100 to 120 days.

Spieles worked for Harrisonburg Votes when he committed the crime, according to acting United States Attorney Rick A. Mountcastle.

Harrisonburg Votes is a political organization affiliated with the Democratic Party.

You can't reverse the damage he did to our traditions and processes. Barky totally made minced meat of the American way of doing lots of things ... and there are many who can't even remember what things were like before him - back when we were still American.

BarkyCare doesn't look to be going anywhere. Dodd-Frank isn't even being talked about. ANti-American judges continue to sit on courts and render their America-hating decisions ...

It's a lot more than just the ungodly amount of debt we racked up. It's more than just the insane balance sheet the Fed now has. It's a much deeper cut.

I'm thrilled that someone, and someone who has absolute knowledge to say it and the barren field to care about getting flack for it, told the point blank truth about women's tennis vs. men's tennis. Serena Williams is a superb tennis player. She is an amazing athlete. Her accomplishments place her in the top five, if not top three, female tennis players who have ever played.

And he is dead right that she would be ranked in the 700s on the men's tour. That isn't a slam on her, it's a recognition of the biological reality of the differences between men and women. I'm a huge tennis fan and I don't watch women's tennis because it's like seeing the game played at half speed. And then there's the shrieking which arrrggghh.

I'm glad he said no point blank when asked if he wanted to apologize. He has nothing to apologize for.

Its a different game more team play than one on one. The men cheat. It grates to seem them writhe on the ground in agony, then jump up and run when the whistle isn't blown for a foul.

293 What are the chances we see a match between Serena and McEnroe?

That will be what the shrill voices will scream. But his point is that she would get blitzkrieged by most of the male tour. He didn't say he could beat her, but she wouldn't win a game against Nadal.

You know who I would like to see her play? Nick Kyrgios. Mainly because he's, shall we say, mercurial and as soon as she took a few games off of him, which she could, he'd get pissed and stop pulling his punches.

And I couldn't help but think of that old outdated part of many wedding vows.

307 Bobby Riggs was an atypical tennis player for his time, a street kid and a hustler. No surprise if he was playing games with gamblers. He thrashed #1 ranked Margaret Court, which set up the big money against BJK where he lost, most likely on purpose.

Around this time, Riggs was on an episode of the Odd Couple where he hustles Felix and Oscar in ping pong. He beats them both at the same time, upping the ante by using more outrageous paddles, IRRC a frying pan and then a fish.

I can enjoy watching women's sports in the same way I can enjoy watching a hs football game or a Little League game. You just adjust your expectation and don't expect to see amazing major league plays.

But no matter how much the feminists caterwaul women's sports will never draw the crowds or have the prestige of men's sports for the simple reason that the best male football/baseball/basketball/tennis players are the best players, period. The strongest, fastest athletes on earth are all young men in their late teens and 20's.

I've never understood why that fact is so resented. I don't feel like I'm less of a human being because I'm not as physically strong as a man. Hell, I don't think older men think they're nothing because they can't run or throw like they did when they were 25.

Nope. He hasn't and he won't. Buh bye.

The difference between he and McEnroe is that Johnny Mac's tantrums weren't about him per se so much as wanting to get the game right. He wasn't fit pitching because he was losing, he was fit pitching because he was being screwed over (or at least that's what he thought). Kyrgios? Oh I'm losing it mentally so I'm going to throw a tantrum.

In general, he's just a scumabg asshole. But an example is that he was playing Stan Wawrinka and told Stan during a game change, "Kokkinakis banged your girlfriend". He knew he was miced and that this was broadcast.

I don't know Wawrinka but this sort of stuff is just about as low as you can get. And the fact that he was talking about a friend of his (another lowlife scumbag) makes it even worse. Then Kyrgios' whole family hit the airwaves to defend him and they all showed that he merely came from a family of lowlife scumbags. ANd they all screamed "raaaaacism!!" as loudly as their pea-brains allowed them, too.

I make it a point never to watch him play. Never.

357 There is history. See Keating Five. McCain got away with it on two fronts: War Hero and lack of jurisdiction because he moved from the House to the Senate. I suspect that he has always been dirty and have been puzzled why Arizona continues to send this loser to Washington?

358 McCain Institute Mission Statement:
Getting crusty old mavericks to suspend campaigns and cross aisles to be NeverTrumpers.

359 Don't forget, Kardashian and cottage cheese. . .
. . . and a lot of silicone injections/implants.

This should be a lesson to anyone who wants what they are not.

360 McCain is a proto-Comey - corrupt, but demanding everyone treat him as a Boy Scout.

361 You know, this family organizing is much more profitable than that damned community organizing stuff my friend Barry taught me.

A lot easier too.

And CNN and CBS still love me!

362 McCain supported the ISIS/a-Q terrorists with Hillary in Benghazi, his foundation is Soros funded, he stabs Trump and the country whenever he can and is rumored to be a pedo in Pizzagate. And those are his qualities.

363 Given that McCain is a back-stabbing shitweasel *now*, was there ever a time in which he was *not* a back-stabbing shitweasel?

I'm wondering just how well the back-stabbing shitweasel got along with his captors at the Hanoi Hilton?

I'm a vet and I served with a lot of folks who were in during the 'Nam years; it bothers me to make the accusation. But I'm starting to wonder about that motherfucker.
