GOP Revives McCarthyism While Grilling Biden’s Pick For Bank Regulator | Talking Points Memo

I listened to some of her testimony describing her grandmother nearly dying during the Stalin regime. And having to explain to Kennedy that she is not now nor has ever been a communist and that she could not choose where she was born. Her dignity in the face of his vulgarity was notable. It made me sad and Kennedy is a pig an ignorant disgusting pig.

I agree, but I think Senator Kennedy knows exactly what he’s doing.

Just don’t call her what Kennedy calls Putin- Daddy.

No offense, and not trying to shit on your metric, but I’ve long ago stopped equating “Ivy League” with intelligence.

You don’t know. Maybe she was behind him in the receiving line with Putin on his last trip, and he’s just putting her on notice.

“What do the banks like? They like light regulations, and they like freedom to do what they want to do to make money,” Phillip Basil, director of banking at Better Markets, a financial regulation-focused non-profit, told TPM.

Yes, banks love to discriminate, defraud and run amok, until they need a bailout, then they expect the Fed to cover their messes with little accountability.

They seem to enjoy being “Too Big To Fail” and sucking that communist teat when they get in a spot of trouble.

Yes. Co-sign.

But Bobert, Greene, Gosar, speak and act like ignorant dumbasses. Kennedy is not ignorant.

Maybe I shouldn’t have made the “Ivy League” connection, but I believe if you are a rotten piece of trash, an Ivy League education will not teach you to become moral, it will teach you to become a sophisticated Ivy League piece of trash.

Finally. Consistently counts.

It’s like all those military folks who got stuck like pigs just to get in the fucking door with who knows what jabs (that experience is a nightmare, and think the one in the butt cheek is done just for funsies), but all of a sudden this vaccine is unconscionable…
