Some of it might surprise you.

It was leaked and posted by Axios.

Here is the slightly redacted result.

Wow! None of her “work” experience has been actual work…it is all on boards and/or volunteering. Never for a job that paid a salary that required she actually do something or interact with anyone other than very rich adults. Great qualifications for her current “job”.

    Exactly. Which does not qualify her for her current position in any way.

  So you do not think, Board membership is work? Is this a general status of boards: rich people get appointed so that they can decide how to turn the given company, university profitable for themselves? This is sooooo cynical.

    As a carpenter, I have done lots of work on boards.
    
    Just this morning on worked on deck boards.
    
    And you’ll have to take my word, but it IS work.

    The hardest boards to work on are the knotty ones.
    
    And Lord knows, Betsy is a knotty woman (maybe a naughty one too, but I would not know about that — and don’t really want to)

Aw! C’mon! Leave Beasty alone.

Is it really her fault that she’s a narcissistic virulent piece of malignant disease that has been isolated in her plutocratic petri dish for her whole incubated, sinister, disconnected life?

Does she not bleed and pick her nose just like the rest of us?

  What I know about her I dislike. So she thinks of Trump as a brash billionaire. What is she? A sneaky, manipulative billionaire! Birds of a feather and all that.

A breathtaking feat of getting records to show what forms of influence money can buy.

If DeVoss really did not like Trump, she would have supported Hillary. After all, she would not have touched the billionaire club. What was so bad about Hillary?

The first time Betsy is going to work when she begins her jail sentence given out to the .1%.

  Betsy and her ilk may get a sentence (like the one you just gave her), but they will never get jail…
  
  Because…
  
  If sentences meant jail”
  
  If sentences meant jail
  Then writers would be caged
  And boost their pre-trial bail
  For every written page
  
  And Melville would have spent
  A life-term in the clink
  Cuz he was surely bent
  On spilling lots of ink

    How about an island for the point-one-percent? The island would be at a secret location somewhere in the middle of the Pacific. It would be referred to by P1P. The natives of P1P would have to fish to eat, and the only people they can talk to, boss around, bribe, exploit are each other. Instead of globalizing their power, they’d have to localize everything to the P1P island: their dreams, ambitions, plans, travels, parties, investments.

    How about an island inhabited by cannibals?
    
    “Philanthropy”
    
    They “Love the human kind” —
    Of flesh, served on a dish.
    The cannibals, you’ll find
    Are real philanthropists

    On days when they cannot catch a fish, they will eat one of their own. How long will iit take for them to become extinct? 99% of them are men?
