Which Goldman exec? Someone is being disingenuous at best, bald face liar more likely. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/29/us/politics/steven-terner-mnuchin-trump-treasury-secretary.html Trump Taps Hollywood’s Mnuchin for Treasury and Dines With Romney https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Mnuchin In 2002, Mnuchin left Goldman and worked briefly for his Yale roommate Edward Lampert, chief executive of Sears. He also briefly worked for Soros Fund Management in their private equity division during the "Goldman" period with Jacob Goldfield and Mark Schwartz. After this stint, he founded RatPac-Dune Entertainment, which produced a number of notable films, including the X-Men film franchise and Avatar.[8] He worked for Goldman 15 years ago. Oh my!
He worked for Goldman for 17 years. That's hardly a passing fling. For what it's worth, his daddy worked there too. barfo
He's not going from Goldman to the West Wing. More like Left Coast to West Wing. He made $40M in 17 years at Goldman. $2M a year, roughly. I wonder if he made $40M on Avatar, and each of the X-Men movies. He's a Hollywood guy.
I saw the guy sure was running against. Don't know shit about him (which is rare). Looked like a choice between a turd sandwich and a giant douche.... They're not learning....
The meltdown crowd on social media are conspicuously silent. Hypocrite clowns that they are. It's funny to see what's going on in their fevered brains. Hallucinations.
Icing on the cake. http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/308206-tired-dem-donors-feel-like-their-money-got-burned Tired Dem donors feel like their money got burned Democratic donors stung by Hillary Clinton’s upset loss in the presidential race feel like they just set their money on fire. The sore feelings are a huge problem for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which is trying to rebuild its image and reinvigorate a defeated party in time for challenging midterm elections in 2018. It’s also a worry for top liberal activists as they prepare for war with President-elect Donald Trump and a GOP Congress that is hell-bent on rolling back President Obama’s accomplishments. Many Democratic donors still feel burned by the party’s 2016 election losses and what they see as dysfunction in the DNC, which will elect a new leader in February. Adding insult to the injury: The names of many donors were released in the WikiLeaks hack of Democratic emails, believed to have come at the hands of Russian intelligence. It was a mortifying development that has rattled some of the party’s big-money men and women. “They’re tired,” one DNC official told The Hill. “They’re upset about the election, and there was significant trauma surrounding the Russians. They’re upset and they’re tired.” Democratic investors went in on Clinton to the tune of more than $550 million, believing she would dispatch Trump, deliver Democrats the Senate and help the party make inroads into the GOP’s House majority. Many liberal donors also viewed the election as an opportunity to cement Obama’s legacy. Instead, Democrats find themselves in the throes of a full-scale and expensive rebuilding project punctuated by a rudderless DNC that won’t elect a new leader until more than a month after Trump is sworn into office.
Got a kick out of this piece, if for nothing more than coining the phrase "outrage porn". That is fricking awesome! "It is painfully clear that all our outrage didn’t work. And now there’s a danger of getting sucked into a vortex of what I’d like to refer to as “outrage porn.” Trump’s horrific statements aren’t going to stop. He’s going to keep tweeting about every sleight and alleged offense, from Hamilton controversies to unflattering Saturday Night Live sketches to the untold thousands of protests and articles and taunts forthcoming. And he will use these incidents to cement his reputation as a political outsider with his voters. He will weaponize these reactions, holding them up as proof of just how much know-it-all elites loathe his “deplorable” white base. Far worse, he will use our indignation over cultural kerfuffles to distract from far bigger stories—like his settling of the Trump University fraud suit for $25 million or the sprawling ethical conflicts that have emerged from running the presidency and a business empire at the same time." https://newrepublic.com/article/138996/liberal-response-trump-devolving-outrage-porn
FYI, worrying about corruption and the appearance of a conflict of interest really has nothing to do with so-called "Social Justice Warriors" Everyone should be holding the President-Elect to a high standard with respect to corruption and good governance.
I honestly don't think Rasta is worrying about anything other than trying to troll the forums here w/his whining.. I am just trolling the troller; there is no particular method or reasoning to the pictures. I just google up something to bury his B.S.
I'd say it's a bad habit to assume that anybody who says something that disagrees with your position is acting in bad faith.
Two nights before the election, I was playing poker with a few guys who were going to vote for Trump. When I asked why, among other reasons they said he would "drain the swamp." Clearly they were just parroting his words. When I tried to explain they were being sold a bill of goods by PT Barnum, they just kept saying "drain the swamp, drain the swamp!" It was BS then, and BS now. What a bunch of hogwash we are going to get for the next four years.
Sure, I can understand that. Go back and check out some of those posts from him though. IDK they just seem troll/spammy.
