Originally published at: Secretive DC Influence Project Appears To Be Running A Group House For Right-Wing Lawmakers
This article was originally published at ProPublica, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative newsroom. For a project explicitly designed to influence Congress, Steve Berger’s operation has left a scant paper trail. The archconservative evangelical pastor, who started a D.C. nonprofit a few years ago to shape national policy, does not file lobbying reports. His group does not…

It’s often said there are three ways to accumulate money in the USof America-steal it, inherit it and luck into it…Beaman inherited, like Trump, from his daddy. He was born on third base acting like he hit a triple and sells the notion he’s successful when he’s had every opportunity he could take advantage of handed to him at the beginning. Another parasitic blood-sucking leech Republican, but I’m being redundant.
(Nashville-based Beaman Automotive Group to be sold). Former CEO Lee Beaman’s father founded the company in 1945, and it has long been a fixture of the Middle Tennessee automotive industry. It ranks as one of the largest dealer groups in the Southeast, according to a company news release.

Berger has devoted long stretches to attacking the separation of church and state
The union of church and state goes both ways.
In the same way government must conform to religious teachings, churches must also be subject to government investigation to be sure they meet government commands and, especially, executive orders.

I’d love to know what these creeps get up to in that house:
Group self-flagellation.
Speaking in tongues.
Human sacrifice.
Theocracy 101.
Monitoring each other’s porn usage.

“Group house…”
I love the headline. Disgusted by what the article describes.
Every time I think I’m way past my politically naive days, I read something like this. To call this lobbying group Machiavellian would be a compliment.
It’s a wonder we took so long to get an aspiring autocrat in the White House.
I’m almost a decade past my sell date, so I don’t know how long I’ll be around.
When I read things like this, I think I’ll be glad to shuffle off this mortal coil when the time comes.
ETA: About a half hour after writing this, I learned that political and military analysts estimate our chances of war with China have gone up exponentially.
Trump has telegraphed to China that it’s OK for them to invade Taiwan and this would spark WW3. So, let’s just thank those folks who elected Trump over egg prices and illegal immigrants.

I kinda wish the headline writer had called it a group home. Alas that would be tinged with ableism. For readers appreciative of religious imagery it’s clear the facility is a playground for Satan. But these are godly people, so I’ll settle for your terminology, with a stipulation that it’s a cult of Moloch.
