Hillary Clinton. Hobbled by many undeserved (and some deserved) wounds, but refusing to accept that her political effectiveness would be severely compromised.
So whatās your point? Itās no surprise the rich and powerful get the perks. Itās also quite realistic to understand that true change involves very small, incremental, circuitous, generational changes. Not big empty promises. Not grand revolutionary schemes. Scornful talk without effective results just wastes opportunities to accomplish the possible.
Well known names like Barack Obama in 2006? The Democrats you want would be well-known names by now had a certain person not insisted on hogging the spotlight for 8 years after being told āNo, thank you, we prefer a younger, more dynamic, capable and less compromised candidateā in 2008. A certain person who had the connections and capability, had she chosen to do so, of mentoring and raising the profile of a new generation of leadership. The well-known names are stale and compromised. Inspiring people born in the days of Reagan, Bush and Clinton to vote is the name of the game.
Not really a good comparison. US Attorneys are strictly political appointees and can be fired at will. They are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Couldnāt be more political. Almost always thereās close to 100% turnover from one Administration to the another. This is totally different from career civil servants hired in the normal course of government employment processes.
True. I was mostly referring to the fact that you CAN fire/replace with your own people but for some reason the GOP has to act like sneaky vengeful aholes when they do it.
so sorry
As usual, Elizabeth Warren is on top of it.
The Ending Too Big to Jail Act creates a permanent law enforcement unit to investigate crimes at financial institutions, requires senior executives at banks with $10 billion or more in assets to certify annually that they have conducted due diligence and found no criminal conduct or civil fraud within the financial institution, and mandates judicial oversight of deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs).
