Donald Trump demonized Goldman Sachs during the Presidential campaign and blasted Hillary Clinton for having the nerve to speak to them for high fees. But now he is stocking his economic team with men (yes, men) from…where else?…Goldman Sachs!
There should be a lot of room for advancement at that firm, what with all the top people leaving to join the Trump administration.
Their appointment reassures Wall Street, which can feel comfortable knowing that their friends are running the economy, not the King of Debt.

Right now my long Island Congressman is bothering me more than Trump . Who can only satisfy me, when he is sitting behind bars.
Dismal Democrats are a big part of the reason that Trump was elected to make our lives miserable.
Newly elected to fill another shills seat Steve Israel(long Story) . Tom Suozzi NY 3rd , in the 2.5 months, he has been in office ,has voted with seven other Blue dog Democrats
and all but one Republican for Bills that would gut Health and Safety regulation as well as two other Wall Street deregulation Bills aimed at Dodd Frank . Of course he received 329,000 from Wall street.
Barrack Obama and corporatist Democrats elected Trump. Elected with policies that blurred the lines of distinction between what Republicans stand for and what Democrats stand for.From Education, to Trade, to Wall Street and even the Environment where Obama expanded drilling a week or two before the BP disaster. On every issue both Clinton (Him and Her ) and Obama were too late or too little for the fight . So if the Nation is to suffer with Trump and the Republicans . “What the hell do you got to lose” by putting real progressives up against these Republican troglodytes . We have lost the Nation probably for decades .

“In the heart of Los Angeles, the race among nearly two dozen candidates for the congressional seat left open by Xavier Becerra is being heavily influenced by a man who lives more than 2,900 miles away.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ progressive ideas, which won him a national following and helped him capture the district from Hillary Clinton in the primary last year, have given the race a decidedly leftward tilt in the heavily Democratic enclave…”

Time for Berniecrats to show the Democrats what a real Tea Party looks like .
To fight Trump and fascism. We don’t need Democrats willing to work with Republicans we need Democrats willing to fight Republicans tooth and nail .
We don’t need Obamacare a terribly unpopular program we need Medicare for all favored by 58% of the American people including 73% of Democrats but even 41% of Republicans.
Tea Parties are for little girls . Post industrial America needs a new social revolution that ensures a more equitable distribution of wealth.
