Well, we know for a fact Clinton's attitude on Banks from all her speeches and her previous career. And her top donors throughout her career.

As for Exxon, she spent much of her SOS term pushing Fracking.

So the only realistic alternative was worse.

If only the Democrats knew about their leaders rigging the primaries and nominated a winner like Bernie or Webb.

How about a Citigroup Chief of Staff and a Citigroup Treasury Secretary and a Whiteshoe Revolving Door Wall Street Lawyer at the SEC? We just had all that.

Did you see a lot of Financial Reform?

When in your mystical FDR figure coming? Has he been elected to the Senate yet?

WTF!
This medal will look good next to The Nobel Prize for WARMONGERING.

FUCK DEMOCRATIC VOTERS!

ZOMG! Are people trolling and shitposting on Twitter!!!

Dear Me No!!!

Those that may have missed it.

FUCK DEMOCRATIC VOTERS!

It would be funny if Trump voters weren't so stupid. SAD!

We get it, Russians don't like fracking because it has fucking killed their oil profits (tee-hee!), but why Hillary is different from Tillerson in this regard? They are both pretty fond of it. Exxon bought XTO Energy for their fracking expertise.

How many countries did Obama drone where we had no business?
How many innocents have been killed by this warmonger?
How many Republicans did not attempt to stop your PEACE President.

Fuck all you Democratic & Republican voters.
For those hard of hearing,
FUCK ALL YOU DEMOCRATIC & REPUBLICAN VOTERS!

DOH! What happened to the america you used to know.
You did ASSHOLE!

How many of those people participating in the poll are their actual constituents?

The Hill.com noted that Blackburn's cause probably wasn't helped by the fact that White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz retweeted the poll Tuesday to his more than 23,000 Twitter followers.

Nothing says scientific than a Twitter poll.

Repeal & don't replace.
Let the loved ones of Republicans suffer long painful deaths
because they are FINANCIAL FAILURES.
NO CASH,DIE.

But Lew did not have just any position at the bank.
...
Details about Lew’s exact responsibilities at Citigroup, where he worked from 2006 to 2008, are scant. He declined to comment for this article.
Lew’s first job at the bank was chief operating officer of Citigroup’s wealth management unit, which flourished under his watch.
By the fall of 2007, the wealth management group handled $1.8 billion in client assets, up 34 percent from the year before, according to financial statements. More than 15,000 financial advisers and bankers worked under Lew.
In January 2008, he switched to Citigroup’s alternative investments unit. A press release announcing his new position as chief operating officer of the group said he would “oversee coordination between the operations, technology, human resources, legal, financial and regional departments.”
...
Sanders said in a statement Wednesday that although he applauds Lew’s public service, he worries about the number of economic advisers in the White House who have spent time on Wall Street. Michael Froman, deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs, also came from Citigroup’s hedge fund and private equity shop, known as the alternative investments unit.
“In my view, we need a treasury secretary who is prepared to stand up to corporate America and their powerful lobbyists and fight for policies that protect the working families in our country,”

Or found dead of a heart attack in his bed, his head under the pillow.

Or the barbell will fall on his neck.

It's to reassure Israel, an ally for decades and whose creation we voted for, after Obama's mandate-less, sudden, etc. etc. etc. bizarre deed a few days ago.

Sweet!

I'm sure Deb N. really voted for Trump. Trump is doing exactly what the label on the bottle said Trump will do under these circum stances. He's tough on baked in shit.
And his non stick surface gets everything nice and clean.

I GUARANTEE that Trump voters will turn on Trump - rightfully so based on Trump OVER-FILLING THE SWAMP ALREADY - faster than any group of voters for a POTUS in U.S. History.

Because Trump REALLY IS A LYING, CHEATING, NO-GOOD, DIRTY ROTTEN PIECE OF SHIT HYPOCRITE.

Wait, I thought Trump was gonna start WW3 when he announced he was going to modernize the Nuke Force?

They should really try focus group stuff before they jump from one narrative to a contrary narrative.

Is Trump General Ripper or one of the Cambridge Spies? Legacy Oligarch media needs to make up it's mind.

If he fucks up, that'd be great if they turned on him.

Obama totally failed to reform banking, be transparent, get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan, put a stop to 4th Amendment busting mass surveillance, told them they could keep your doctor, that premiums would go down, and wind down middle east intervention. His supporters stayed with him.

I'll be the first to turn on our President if he fucks up. I call it as I see it.

POLL - How many people want free stuff taken away?

Yes - 16%
No - 84%

Did our handout society ever give you doubt?

All hail the individual mandate. If you drive a car, you must have insurance. If you exist, you must have healthcare coverage. Sorry Repubs, it has gotta happen.

As bad as Christie sucked towards last 6 years of term, Corzine was worse

the butthurt is strong

NO, I'm saying you are an idiot, which you must know is true.

That's nothing. Trump will get in office, grab some pussy, and award himself the Distinguished Pubic Service Medal.

Free stuff? I thought Ironman posted every day on here how expensive Obamacare is.

Nice job on the shotgun retouching...

The true meaning of patnet, as the founding parents expected...

T L Lips says

can only mean your problem with it all now is partisanship

He got a bridge closed though.

wow.
So you are implying that russia telling hillary where to campaign is a fact.
Looks like the russkies were in control of this election from both sides right from the start...

Ironman says

Paul Ryan: ‘Russia didn't tell Hillary Clinton not to go to Wisconsin or Michigan’. They didn’t put the server in her basement or put the stuff on Anthony Weiner’s laptop

I think you are mixing opinions such as above

Tim Aurora says

( That Russians hacked the election)

What exactly do you mean by hacked the election?

I know you're a bit slow, but I was responding to your last sentence. As is typical.

"Christie being a Repub, has had to deal with the same Blue state congress, so there ain't a heck he can get done."

The intelligence community has been routinely lying to Americans for decades. Snowden's leak made it very obvious, and irrefutable. How can you possibly be surprised that Americans are skeptical of what they say?
To blindly believe in the alphabet soup's decrees at this point would be like investing in a new hedge fund administered by Bernie Madoff.

What gets me is Obama came in office touting himself as the Transparent president.
The very first three whistleblowers he encountered he made them enemies of the state.

Snowden
Manning
Asange

Tim Aurora says

If it does not have the confidence of America, America cannot lead the world. I guess, Trumpites are OK with that, and he is the President.

Maybe Trumpies use their brains in life instea dof blidnly following what the left says -like braindead zombies?

Iraq had WMD "intellegince" lead to the war in iraq and 1,000s of young American dead. ISIS is junior varsity-that is intelligence too.

Hopefully Trump has the sense to question, challenge and thoroughly analyze the intelligence community and not drag us into another iraq war or beleiev ISIS is junior varsity. Lefties-brain is a beautiful thing to waste.

"Being the idiot that you are, what does closing a lane to a bridge have to do with Christie having to deal with a Blue congress????"

Wow--you really are slow. You said "so there ain't a heck he can get done". I said--he was able to get a bridge closed. He found a way to get that done...

It is amazing that Harwood still has a job. Donna Barzile nut still seems to make a living as a talking head on the Georgey Stevens show.

This isn't journalism at all. It is sponsored promotionals.

Tim Aurora says

Paul Ryan accepts that Russians hacked the election

That's not what the article says, not even remotely, nor is it true. Russia did not hack the elections. That's a blatant falsehood. Russia hacked into the DNC campaign servers, copied emails, and then released them to the world. The DNC campaign servers are not the election.

Saying that Russia hacked the elections is like saying someone who plays the stereo in their car loud enough for other drivers to hear has hacked the highway transportation system. It is a ridiculous claim, and those who make it should not be taken seriously.

People aren't asking for free health care. They are asking for affordable healthcare with reasonable costs that won't bankrupt them the first time they get sick. The fact is that capitalism has completely failed to provide decent affordable health care. If capitalism worked for health care, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Yep--and there are so many other systems out there that we could copy/model our system on. Systems that deliver better healthcare for much, much less money. It shouldn't be this difficult.
