Imma let you finish, but do you even know what Glass-Steagall IS? Let's all enjoy some video of Elizabeth Warren firmly but politely taking apart Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin before the Senate Banking Committee Thursday! Mnuchin got a nice dressing-down
*In case you missed a recent post of mine, a few weeks ago I did some grueling mostly overnight shifts proofreading EDGAR documents (10-Ks, 10-Qs, prospectuses, etc.). Every time I saw a worst quarter that ended 12/31/08, after the banks and financial firms STOLE 20% of our country's wealth, followed by a best quarter that ended either 3/31/09 or (more frequently) 6/30/09, IOW after these same banks and financial institutions were BAILED OUT WITH OUR MONEY, I, alone in the office where I proofed said documents, could have been heard muttering "fucking fuckers," had anyone else been around to hear.
I was under the impression that banking bankers playing at investment banking were exactly the cause to the 2008 financial debacle. Am I wrong or is Mnuchin a duplicitous snot goblin also? And the long time that banking and ivestment have been merged goes all the way back to, what 1996? Why it's practically an antique by now. FFS
There is a story that Louis Armstrong once had an audience with the Pope, and was so nervous he had a "jazz cigarette" or two beforehand. Thus when the Pope asked him if he and his wife had children, Louis replied "No, but we's havin' a real fine time tryin', your Holiness". The translator apparently skipped that bit.
This is why there is no free speech for Fascism. Fascist speech actually DESTROYS speech because it's totally nihilistic. It is to speech what termites are to wood.
You'd think someone as smart as Senator Warren would understand how the modern Republican party works: "We will say whatever sounds good if it means it'll get us elected, then we'll just do what we intended to do anyway and act like it's your fault for not figuring that out by what we said."
Fucking fuckers.* /FFS.

^^^^ THIS. Fucking fuckers (see my post above, or below if you read them oldest to newest).
How outrageous that some people dare to ask the members of the government to make sense...
Or that German magazine - "Der Steagall."

Surprise! You're not wrong.
I was surprised to see that Trump managed to appoint a cabinet member with a face as punchable as any other Republican.
The spell check in my head automatically changes it to munchkin.
Just look at him. If you had a magnifying glass, that's just what a maggot with glasses would look like. Apologies to maggots.
[that bunny reminds me of Donna Rose]
you made me think of Glass-Smeagle and his PRECIOUS
that's no way to talk about us! Oh, you mean the trolls.
I thought he thought it made him look SMRT
