Thomas Joseph Donohue Sr. (August 12, 1938 October 14, 2024)
Some of his lowlights:
From 1969 to 1976 he was the US Official Deputy Assistant Postmaster General, where he helped "convert" the Post Office from a government department into the quasi-private U.S. Postal Service.
Donohue was an Emeritus Hudson Institute Trustee and has served on the board of directors of Qwest, Sunrise Assisted Living Corporation, Union Pacific, and XM. ***I'm sure he set some timed demolition charges in those organizations. lol
In 1997, Donohue assumed the role of President and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, replacing Richard Lesher.[16] Under Lesher, the Chamber had endorsed the Clinton health care plan of 1993, angering many conservatives.[17][18] Congressman John Boehner led a campaign pushing companies to leave the Chamber over its support of the bill. When Donohue took over, the Chamber's power was considered to be at a low ebb.[5] The Washington Post wrote, "Nobody has mastered this new Washington game better than Thomas J. Donohue."[10] According to The Wall Street Journal, "[Donohue's] most striking innovation has been to offer individual companies and industries the chance to use the chamber as a means of anonymously pursuing their own political ends." ***Rabid RW skunk at play here 24/7/365
Didn't see this one coming at all, lol: Donohue established the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform, which has won significant cases in the courts, at the state and federal levels, and in elections for state attorneys general and Supreme Court judges.[3] Donohue was president of the National Chamber Foundation as well as the Center for International Private Enterprise, a core institution of the National Endowment for Democracy.
Once a POS, always a POS:
Donohue resigned as president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce when The Wall Street Journal was about to release a story about Donohue's use of a private jet for business and personal flights in 2019.[21][22] He would then retire as CEO in 2021 with Suzanne P. Clark succeeding him as both CEO and President.
The POS 'worked his way through college as a union truck driver' so he was awarded the Horatio Alger Award. What a sick cruel joke to Union workers.
All in all, a life definitely not one to be proud of. Spent his whole life undermining the US Middle Class.
