@snoopydawg … Great clip that says it all, but somehow, at least thus far, Bernie hasn't been able to drive home the point in the debates as clearly as done in that clip. One past candidate whom I voted for that did do so, was Ralph Nader in his Green party run in 2020, except Nader coined the term "Corporate Welfare," given that the word "welfare" had such a negative connotation at the time. Perhaps because Bernie's campaign has been focused on bringing home a positive message, he's missed out to some extent, IMHO, in phrasing that could have enabled him to effectively counter some of the attacks with the "S" word that must have been anticipated coming his way, either now or in a General vs Trump.

Health stocks got a huge boost after Biden won Super Tuesday.

Aw man, Are you kidding me?

Biden is measuring the White House drapes by floating Jamie Dimon as Treasury Secretary.

He's the CEO of a bank that:

- got a $416B bailout while he was on the NY Fed
- was fined $13B for mortgage fraud
- illegally foreclosed on military families https://t.co/4iT6ZE8NuA

@gjohnsit to know your enemy....makes one feel so....refreshed. Bring on the contempt. We love it.

I'm glad that they don't hide their contempt for the working class.
It's refreshing.

@RantingRooster nice graphs and charts. Love the Paine quote. Poisoned by importance is such an apt description.

JPMorgan leads the way in financing fossil fuels

A partial list of JPMorgan's rap sheet (more article links below)

A summary of JPMorgan's "subsidies" (socialism for the rich)

A detailed look at JPMorgan Chase By Philip Mattera at The Corporate Research Project;

JPMorgan Chase, a prime symbol of financial sector misconduct and reckless behavior in recent years, represents the consolidation of several of the most powerful New York and Chicago money center banks as well as the investment house founded by the legendary financier and robber baron J.P. Morgan.

From WallStreetOnParade:

The other news item making headlines yesterday was that the Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, has received a pay raise to $31.5 million based on his “performance” for the year 2019. The massive compensation comes at a time when the federally-insured bank is under its fourth criminal probe by the U.S. Department of Justice, all of them occurring while Dimon sat at the helm of the bank and all occurring within the past seven years.

In 2013, JPMorgan Chase agreed to pay $920 million to various regulators for its so-called London Whale scandal. Under Dimon’s watch, the bank had used deposits from its federally-insured bank to make wild gambles in derivatives in London, losing $6.2 billion of depositors’ money along the way. No charges were brought against Dimon; he was not barred from the banking industry; and his highly-compensated Board of Directors kept him at the helm.

@ovals49 I have heard everyone of those arguments all my life to justify voting lesser evil. And every time lesser evil has won, they’ve continued moving the Dems to the Right with all their picks. I don’t know why people think a right wing Dem is going to surround themselves with lefties. That makes zero sense and history hasn’t shown that to ever be the case. (And given the lack of willingness to show any compromise to the Bernie wing of the party, I’d expect the odds of that happening are even lower now.)

We were discussing the sorry state of the Democratic Party’s chosen one. She said we had to get rid of Trump and that she’d vote for a Ham Sandwich rather than have Trump for four more years. She didn’t care that Biden was crumbling before our eyes. She said “...at least he’d make good cabinet picks.”

My response was that I did not believe Biden would make it to the nomination, that he was a placeholder, and that Biden would probably throw his support and his delegates to his good friend Hillary, assuming he could still form one more coherent sentence. “Oh my God” she shrieked, “I hate her so much I could never vote for her!”

I think I ruined her day.

Then Biden went and announced his interest in Dimon and Bloomberg for cabinet and World Bank. She had voted for Bernie in the primary, but was ready to go with the “unity pick”. Hopefully she’ll be rethinking the situation and sending another contribution to Bernie ASAP.
