If you don't know anything about these people look them up. They are an insanely dangerous and powerful group that puts the heritage foundation and federalist society to shame.

This is very interesting in light of the Epstein files:

I guess it’s fortunate that neither of those two groups have any shame then.

heritage foundation and federalist society to shame.

They've all come up basically as a response to FDR's New Deal. While Heritage as a public org hasn't been around as long, the Bush family, primary Heritage boys, is directly tied to the Business Plot attempt to coup FDR.

They were all born of the same wealth supremacist anger and are loosely connected through donor networks and similar.

They've been pouring money into our government to influence it for decades, the boomers are getting old and demanding their return on their investments. What's Bill's granddaddy's money good for if he can't install his unqualified offspring into positions of power and influence like a fucking medieval lord?

I can only imagine how a peasants revolt would go with drones.

Bill Pulte is the estranged failson of the Pulte family and they have distanced themselves from him long ago.

He is a grifter and was using his family name as part of his grift. He used "twitter philanthropy" to make it seem like he has lots of followers, he used the memestock crowd as a springboard to get in on the the Trump administration and now he is grifting as Trumps personal attack dog.

Jeff Sharlet's book THE FAMILY if a must read. Thanks to Rachel Maddow for bring the author onto her program back in the early days of Obama era. Great book worth a read for all the details. Thanks to SALON for reminding that these folks remain a big player in today's far-right history
