Night at the Alfalfa Club: Oligopolitics

Every conspiracy theory about a shadow government, deep state, dark state, ruling donor class and the repression and marginalization of the unwashed masses, is vindicated in a crass display of hegemonic avarice at the Alfalfa Club. If you want to see what an oligopoly looks like, here it is. A perfect marriage of politicians with their true and only constituency. I call this Oligopolitics. Like George Carlin said: "It's a big club and you ain't in it." Now it actually has a name and faces.

• Wikipedia: Alfalfa Club. 
• The Washington Post 01/27/2019: John Kerry and Mitt Romney hugging, and Mitch McConnell in a hospital gown? It must be the Alfalfa Club dinner. 
• CNN Politics 01/27/2019: Pence, Ivanka, Kushner no-show as Mattis gets standing ovation at elite DC dinner. 
• Salt Lake Tribune 01/28/2019: Utah Sen. Mitt Romney elected president of secret Washington group of politicians, business leaders. 

Apparently this club is a hundred years old. I think it dates back to the Teapot Dome Scandal [YouTube].

These guys are insatiable. Just look at Warren G. Harding. You were never taught this in public school history class.
