So were the Lollipop Guild just predatory lenders.

Hey, come on now, think about all the jobs he created - someone has to bash in the door, grab the old lady and throw her out on the lawn. A few county sheriffs to tase and mace her when she tries to get up in a threatening manner. It's going to take atleast a half dozen people to go through her stuff, grab the stuff they can sell and throw the rest of the stuff in the dumpster. Then you have the clean up crew that will repaint and recarpet the house, lots of people are needed to get that old lady smell, then the real estate agent to sell the house for triple what the old lady owed on it. Come on America, what do you want, jobs or old ladies to stay in their home?

I'll consider it, but I'm not sure if pennies conduct electricity.

No snark, I was friends with his wife (and her sister) as a kid/teen (but eventually fell out of touch, tho I am FB friends with her sister now). Their mom was my mom's BFF during the same time frame (until they had a huge falling out....). I wonder how her boho self feels about her daughter, while marrying a shit ton of $$$, has also married Satan?

And, of course, how her daughter's (and probably her own) fancee dresses, vacations, etc are funded off the backs of l'il old ladies?

Since I don't watch teevee news, I have no idea how to pronounce Mnuchin's name, so I've opted for alternating between Munchin and Munchkin.

All the colonies, and the subsequently established states, were slave states when the Constitution was ratified in 1788.

party insiders, pure and simple. that is why they will not go rogue and vote for HRC or anyone other than Trump. most have political ambitions of their own that would be completely ruined by switching their votes. thus far, only one repub elector has had the courage of his convictions and resigned his spot rather than vote for Rump. I believe his name was Sisneros so he was probably one of those filthy furriners anyway.

I also call him munchin or urchin. :) It's actually pronounced men-oo-chin.

Economic positions must be filled first so they can get on with the important job of looting the Treasury.

The founding fathers were slave owners and every state had slaves. It was a way to protect the white male land owner elites and their hegemony while giving a nod to the general population's participation.
