DU Fight over Bernie SEC vs Hillary FBI investigation
Submitted by UnBlinkingEye on Sun, 05/15/2016 - 9:38pmI was just reading a thread there and a Hillary supporter was crowing about googling for Bernie and SEC investigation and getting over 170,000 hits. Thought it was interesting so I googled Hillary FBI and "got about 40,500,000" hits.
Bernie quote I just heard:
"This country has socialism for the rich and rugged independence for the poor." Might of been him quoting FDR...
Incrementalism and Disabilities IV: How Infrastructure is Destroyed Aside: Certification for Employment
Submitted by The Aspie Corner on Sun, 05/15/2016 - 8:52pmI used to write stuff like this at the Dreaded Orange Shitcan..well, I'll be writing them here instead.

If you had asked me about chemtrails, I could've told you what they were but I would not have been convinced that they were really a thing. They seemed like one of those conspiracy theory subjects that were a vague cause for worry but not yet a proven problem.
Stop Calling Deals That Help CEOs Pillage with Impunity “Free Trade”
Submitted by ppnortney on Sun, 05/15/2016 - 4:31pmThis is an excellent column by William K. Black, found here: http://neweconomicperspectives.org/2016/05/stop-calling-deals-help-ceos-.... It's the second in his response to N. Gregory Mankiw's column in the New York Times, “The Economy Is Rigged, and Other Presidential Campaign Myths.”
Some highlights and hopefully, I'm not violating fair use rules here:
Jim Crow
Submitted by Robyn on Sun, 05/15/2016 - 2:33pmNC Gov. Pat McCrory was interviewed on NPR the other day and managed to express the idea that passage of Hate Bill 2 was the fault of transgender people.

He and other conservatives were also vehemently upset over AG Loretta Lynch's comparison of the current state of affairs to Jim Crow.
Happy birthday, Jill Stein!
