On Tuesday, gjohnsit's "wikileaks roundup" made mention of the Clintons' repatriation proposal. This happens to be my baby, I've been blogging about it for the past two congresses because my Representative, John Delaney, (D, MD-06) is the guy on point for drafting the legislation.
The problem for Stumpf is that his thievery was too easy to understand.
Brian Rood is an assistant professor of psychology at Augsburg College in Minneapolis.
After I transitioned I applied for a job there in the Department of Mathematics, but they said they had no openings at the time.
I know, I know she is a liar, corporatist and really corrupt, believe me I get it. I supported Bernie from day one as he was the first politician in my life (57) who I felt was both truthful and uncorrupted by the Oligarchs. In other words someone who would look out for me and my family. Finally, on the details I agreed with pretty much everything he said and represented.
Finally, John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chair, and head of The Podesta Group, one of the largest lobbying and "public affairs" firms in the United States world, with a reported income from lobbying efforts in the United States alone in 2014 just short of $12 Million, has deigned to answer questions
How did we become ugly America? Not all Americans, or even a majority but enough that our society and the world has no escape from their megaphone. Alpha males unbound by civility, facts or rules.

I have posted on political message boards for about a dozen years, which is apparently too long: The same topics keep coming up again and again and again and ag---well, you get the idea. One of these topics is amending the Constitution of the United States. Bottom line: I don't think it realistic, unless we want to make the COTUS more conservative. Then, New Democrats just may cooperate with the right.
ANTIWAR.com has reprinted an article that gives a very good overview of the horrible mess that America's war mongers have visited upon the Syrian people over the past several years.
I have to admit I was somewhat surprised at the identity of the author, David Stockman, a name that is very familiar to those of us who were around during the Reagan Era.
Stockman was widely perceived to be the most sane of the Reagan Team when it came to understanding that you cannot balance the budget when you are cutting tax revenue at the same time you are increasing military spending dramatically. It appears David has come around quite a bit since the time he willingly served the most unhinged Cold Warrior of his time: Ronald Reagan.
I'd Love to change the world
But I don't know what to do,
So I'll leave it up to you.
