Politics

David Stockman knows why the establishment hates Trump.
"So imagine Woodward’s consternation when Trump——-the very embodiment of a billionaire financial tycoon—–let loose with the following counterpunch:“I know the Wall Street people probably better than anybody knows them,” said Trump, who has misfired on such predictions in the past. “I don’t need them.”
Those last five words are what has the Washington GOP establishment in a cold sweat. The fact is, the Washington based apparatus of the GOP is a beholden lock, stock, and barrel to Wall Street and the broader financial industry for sustenance. That is, PAC funds and the K-street influence peddling rackets which make life in the Imperial City so copasetic for careerist politicians and their apparatchiks."
Also anti-interventionist, you would think liberals would love him.

While claiming not to be interested, Paul Ryan publishes an ad that looks suspiciously like a campaign ad for the presidency.

Bill Clinton slams Obama. This feud may get Hillary indicted. More likely it signals the fix is in.

The same corporations threatening North Carolina with boycotts over sensible bathroom rules do business in countries that oppress gays and transgenders. This value judgment mistakes their motivation. They criticize NC because they believe it will make them more profitable than if they didn't. They're nothing hypocritical about it.
