Why people continue to intrust their money to the big banks is beyond me. Credit unions, OTOH, do not create internal hedge funds or risk the depositor’s money in half baked financial crap; they do, however, provide the type of service and integrity one would expect a bank to have.
Find a credit union and kick the big banks into the gutter.

Gosh! I sure hope this doesn’t effect Jamie’s bonus . But I have confidence that the board of directors will see what an irreplacable ASSet he is and reward him handsomely. Phhttt!!

The underlying issue, IMO, is that that the majority believe they have the right to deprive citizens of their basic rights. If the voters of a state vote to remove the rights of African Americans or not allowing women to vote it would not stand. The rights of gay and lesbian Americans should also be protected from the “will” of the people to deny them their rights.
Equal rights is not subject to the Majority’s approval.

Couldn’t Mittens just put Grenell on the roof of his car and hope he doesn’t crap on the wind shield OR, even better, use his car to run over the hysterical right wing homophobes and actually stand for something.

This is the guy that can be decisive on world issues as the leader of the most powerful country extant? Phhhttt!! If this incompetent ass, in some nightmare scenario, becomes President I’m going off grid in the Colorado wilds.

“but I’d still like to know what he was doing on the street at 23:00 .”

My guess would be trolling for hookers.

I’m amused by those right wingers who begin to whine about Lushball’s 1st Amendment rights. The government is not censoring the snot bag the people and his advertizers are. The 1st Amendment only applies to government censorship not the publics. If any of them actually read (and understood) the Constitution they would STFU about his “rights”

I think that’s going to be way the nasty cookie crumbles, the year of circus acts will be for naught and they will run Bush III up the pole.

But it’s not like he’s running for just POTUS he’s pushing for his Jr. Jebus badge.

But they do get postate exams – let’s suggest that the “probe” be used to detect postate abnormalities.
This has to be the stupidist f**king law of the year (maybe decade)

Actually Little Green Footballs has done a hard left turn away from the RW narrative, they have become a pariah to the RW ranters.

I found the whole issue of Jesus’ alleged birth to be particularly interesting.
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a CITY of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
(Luke1.26,27)
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the CITY of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; because he was of the house and lineage of David:
(Luke 2.3,4)
The account is nonsense on several levels, first of all no record exists that the city of Nazareth existed before the 2nd century CE. Next is the fact that Galilee was not a Roman province and would have no reason to respond to a Roman census. And finally, there is no record of Augustus or any emperor conducting a census (the Romans taxed property not individuals). So except for those minor issues the story seems acceptable to the deluded.

The “big tent” meme the Democratic party wears on its sleeve is the cockroach in the cheese dip. Just because a candidate has a D after their name doesn’t mean diddly squat if they don’t respect the parties basic goals – one of which is, I thought, respect and support of a woman’s rite to control their own body. All of the blue dogs should face primaries .

They died honoring the commitment and oath they made to this country. The success or failure of the political “leaders” doesn’t diminish their commitment or the honor they deserve. Every one had far more honor than any of the political architects of that senseless war

I can’t see any significant legislation coming out of the congressional clown camp – what with the Dems acting like scared children and the Rethugs snorting Koch, heavily sprinkled with some of the most unbelievable stupid people to fall off the turnip truck. Only a handful of people in Congress can be trusted to work for the people’s benefit the rest are the problem. Wall Streets criminals exist because the government not only ignored their malfeasance but enabled it.

Consumer sentiment is motivated in part by actual economic improvement, but more importantly, it’s motivated by the public perception that something tangible is being done.
Even if jobs must be provided by the government any significant dent in the unemployment numbers will foster more confidence. The WPA and CCC programs created during the depression, are models that can be altered to fit the times. Public works programs like the Hoover Dam was also a government job creator – we could employee 100′s of thousands of people and a thousand private business fixing our decaying infrastructure – and they can’t be outsourced.
But without job creation the economy will only continue to spiral down and right now the public has little confidence that Washington will do anything.

Cat Food Commission II or the Cheap Dry Cat Food Commission is just another way to funnel lobbyist and corporate “person’s” money into their Campaign to Reelect or that cushy exec job at Financial Smoke and Mirrors, Inc.
There is a giant, complex social/political/economic machine that is the US and it’s running badly. The cat food bunch will recommend that they stand back and throw an assorted collection of tools into the gears and hope something works.

Why can’t we jail them or execute them?
