Elizabeth Warren doesn’t want to make the same mistake, and Charles Pierce at Esquire lauds her laudably:
“The first big mistake made by President Barack Obama was his determination to look forward, and not back. Too many of the criminals working for the last worst president in history skated. Too many Wall Street vandals got away clean. That cannot be allowed to happen again. The corruption of this administration* is unprecedented.”

cannot help herself.
She continues to spout lies about Bernie Sanders which are one) lies and two) she combines with delusional statements about her superiority as a candidate.
Let’s make one thing perfectly clear:
Hillary not only lost to Donald Trump, she couldn’t motivate enough of a Democratic turnout to prevent both houses of Congress from falling to the GOP.
Hillary embodies a sclerotic Democratic establishment that, after twenty-five years of atrophying the party, still won’t give up.
Her interview in the Hollywood Reporter tells you who she is and ALMOST–almost, I said– makes one glad she’s not president.

Everyone in Trump world manifests that classic authoritarian duality: complete, groveling subservience to the Leader, contempt and vitriol spat out at the population that Leader wants subjugated. That means us, America.
I mean, talk about elitism. Brooks blames the working stiffs for succumbing to the class war that elevated Brooks and others of the same ilk.
Josh Bivens at the Economic Policy Institute tries to explain reality to David Brooks.
He does it very well, but I don’t think it will do much good.

It enrages him.
Or, more likely, she knows that her GOP talking points are bullshit but just doesn’t care and is going to spout them anyway–as we saw today, with her pathetic default to GOP dogma and its hostility toward American democracy and the First Amendment.
Tomorrow, Friday, at 11:30 a.m. outside 14-16 Fifth Avenue, the two historic brownstones within the Greenwich Village Landmark District, containing rent-regulated apartments, that developers want to tear down to build another tower for the rich.

Aah, Lachlan Murdoch, weren’t you going to clean up the Fox “News” freak show?
