Donald Trump is broke hahahaha
Did you hear the news? Donald Trump is broke as s—t! Sure, you already knew that the former president’s empire was built on bankrupt casinos, skyscrapers that are cratering in value, fake universities, fake shoes, unpaid vendors, dodged taxes, undrinkable wines and inedible steaks. You already knew that this man didn’t actually have an empire at all ... that he was full of s—t the entire time.

Neocons: the Echo of German Fascism
The “f-word” for “fascist” keeps cropping up in discussing aggressive U.S. and Israeli “exceptionalism,” but there’s a distinction from the “n-word” for “Nazi.” This new form of ignoring international law fits more with an older form of German authoritarianism favored by neocon icon Leo Strauss, says retired JAG Major Todd E. Pierce.

Elizabeth Warren will/not run for president.
Heard this interview with Elizabeth Warren on NPR this morning: http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2015/03/30/3963 But her denials of running for president sounded hollow. Something bothered me; the reporter asked, essentially, 'but you could be doing so much more if you ran for president'. And she responded with a non-response, basically saying 'I'm working hard'.

Exposing Hedge Fund Politics in New York
Two weeks ago, several busloads of New Yorkers made a pilgrimage to Greenwich, Conn., to visit the waterfront estate of the hedge fund titan Paul Tudor Jones II, where, suffice it to say, they were not invited in to see the china. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon and the protesters, many of them ordinary working people who have felt cheated by the inequities of a tax system that favors the rarefied few, were there to...
