The Fed is gutting its ability to monitor warning signs of bank failures and slashing rules put in place after 2008 to prevent another financial crisis.

Now, big banks are ramping up the same risky behaviors that led to the last economic crash–setting the stage for another one.

Does he believe what he says? Is he that ignorant? Every day he shows his disconnext with logic & reality. Time to enact the 25th Amendment before there’s nothing left of the country? Seeing the leaders of the other democracies pull away doesn’t register with him.

Advertising/Marketing = Playing the public. Remember that. Ads are lies, and the worst are the ads that pretend to be Op Ed’s news articles.

“He [Trump] even reposted a statement from one of his own lawyers saying, ‘If Jeffrey Epstein had any dirt on Donald Trump, he would have had great leverage in the criminal case against him at the time he died,’ which perhaps conveys a different message than he intended.”

Episode 1 of “The American Revolution”: As a Virginian, from a family here since the 1600s, the best thing about this episode is that so little is about Virginia. In school here, we learned that Virginia was IT! Other people & places were sidebars in my early education.

“Republicans love to preach a ‘pull yourself up by your bootstraps’ mentality — until they’re talking to a billionaire.
They love to champion an America that says ‘I’ve got mine, the rest of you are on your own’— but this doesn’t seem to apply to giant corporations who get government handouts.

Why do arrogant white males (e.g. Scarborough & Maher) have an audience. They blather & bloviate— too often about themselves— adding no real information. Who is their audience?
I still wonder why… about Mika.

Unfortunately, my tv rolls over to them if I leave it on (for the cat, as white noise).
