1. Bait and switch

It keeps happening in both parties. Both promise change and both appoint Golden Sacks to screw up the economy for working people.

I just wonder what they're threatened with if they don't toe the line.

[Nevernose]

4. Hillary might have screwed us over

But you'd have to be an absolute moron to think Trump wouldn't.

[Warpy]

5. No shit, Sherlock, which is why people here on DU

who supported Sanders in the primary voted for Clinton in the general.

We knew what Dolt45 would be like.

Morons said he was so rich there was no way they could force him to do anything he didn't want to do. It looks like they did, which is why I'd love to know what he was threatened with if he didn't play ball with Goldman Sachs.

8. "Morons said he was so rich"

He might not be rich at all.

He may owe more than he's got.

(typo corrected)

[Warpy]

9. And maybe 2005 was his last high earning year

He's always had a surfeit of bluster and a distinct lack of everything else. I understand Deutsche Bank guestimated his total worth at $400 million or so, certainly more than enough for most plutocrats but a far cry from the $10 billion he's boasted.

And he doesn't have most of what he "owns," his name remaining on properties he's had to sell or auction years ago.

[calimary]

10. Nope.

[Cha]

14. NO, Hillary Would NOT have "screwed us over".. anyone who thought

that was brainwashed by all the HDS.

[jrthin]

31. Agreed! nt

[Foamfollower]

19. FALSE EQUIVALENCY!!!

[Jamaal510]

26. All I know...

It keeps happening in both parties. Both promise change and both appoint Golden Sacks to screw up the economy for working people.

...is that historically when a certain party is in power, things have gone in the toilet for everyone except the rich, while under the opposite major party, things have improved for everyone and there are more jobs, higher wages, and the rights of women and people of color are better protected. People can insinuate that it's all some scheme and that they're both the same, but the evidence shows otherwise.

[JHan]

28. +++++ and we're still hearing stupid "they're both the same" arguments..

[Warpy]

32. Doesn't it bother you how much power one investment bank is given

administration after administration? It bothers the hell out of me and that's what I'm trying to put out there, not false equivalency between two very different political parties.

And y'all know it.

[JI7]

27. Obama was changing things for the better. just screaming out goldmsn sachs tpp etc is ignorant bs

[Warpy]

29. Of course he was

but hasn't it occurred to you that Summers et al got in the way of that?

I'm not trashing Obama or Hillary or any other Democrat. I'm just wondering about why Goldman Sachs people are put in charge of the economy. After all, they're not our friends, even if Democratic candidates and presidents are.

[JI7]

33. he did not get in the way. it was republicans in congress who got in the way

of many things Obama wanted to do.

[randome]

2. Snowden has changed not one bit since he ran.

Hasn't evolved. Says the same damned thing like a broken record.

I'm finally coming onboard with him being a Russian asset all along. He was Phase1. Comey was Phase2. All leading to The Doltish One.

[Tarheel_Dem]

3. It's not the first time Snowden's been wrong. I hate him more than Trump. n/t

[msanthrope]

6. Some of us never fell for that asshole. nt

[Cha]

17. I know.. stupid putin stooge.

[leftynyc]

[JI7]

25. yup. Fuck him and the rest of the putin trolls

[pnwmom]

11. So says the Putin stooge. n/t

[Equinox Moon]

12. I guarantee you Bernie would not have hired a single Banker.

[Cha]

16. Hillary had an excellent platform.

[Equinox Moon]

23. Yes, she did.

I just wanted to point out my perspective on this thread topic, that Bernie would not have hired a single banker. That's all.

[delisen]

13. So sad but so true n/t

[Cha]

21. Yeah, it's true that trump's cabinet is full of goldman sachs refugees and

snowden doesn't know shite.

[Cha]

15. snowden doesn't know shit.. just parroting some bullshite propaganda.

[L. Coyote]

18. Fucking bullshit with a side of Russian election interference.

[betsuni]

22. Snowden is an idiot.

[Jamaal510]

24. There was one Tweet

on that thread which hit it home, saying that it was an incorrect take for anyone who assumed that Americans were too smart to let this guy get elected.
