any idea what Maxwell is referring to when she mentions "privilege"? 

remember if you criticize:
a white male, you're Russian
a black male, you're racist
a while female, you're sexist
a black female, you're sexist and (bonus) racist

decent read on pedestrian financial regulation penalties on a cost per case basis

https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/regulators-penalties-against-wall-street-are-down-sharply-in-2017-1502028001

Penalties levied against firms and individuals by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in the first half of 2017 were down nearly two-thirds compared with the first half of 2016—putting regulators on track for the lowest annual level of fines since at least 2010, the Journal found. Fines of $489 million in the first half of 2017 compared with $1.4 billion in the 2016 period.

The SEC levied some $318 million in penalties during the first half of 2017

Does manchin see the writing on the wall?

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is ripping into critics who want him to fully commit to Democratic policy points, saying he won't be pressured into taking stances he disagrees with just to win an election.

“I don’t give a shit, you understand? I just don’t give a shit,” Manchin told the Charleston Gazette-Mail on Sunday. “Don’t care if I get elected, don’t care if I get defeated, how about that. If they think because I’m up for election, that I can be wrangled into voting for shit that I don’t like and can’t explain, they’re all crazy.”

“I’m not scared of an election, let’s put it that way. Elections do not bother me or scare me,” he said. “I’m going to continue to do the same thing I’ve always done, extremely independent.”

Former NSA experts say it wasn’t a hack at all, but a leak—an inside job by someone with access to the DNC’s system

Meanwhile, back in the here and now, Mueller's investigation into Trump's collusion with Russia and his financial dealings chugs along with the FBI serving search warrants and raiding Paul Manafort's home, seizing documents and other materials. Mueller's team continues to follow the money. Back to you Sal. Order up!

I suppose the Russian government and their actors aren't capable of masking their activities nor altering documents to make it look like someone or something else. The two Russian compounds that Obama seized, closed and booted the Russians from were located on the west coast and that they enjoy the 9-5 lifestyle. These "former" NSA employees are privy to what classified information was shared with the president prior to his comments on his final days in office. Commercial interwebs speeds are the only known available. Seth Rich was found clutching a pizza.

I watched 18 - 21. It's the usual stuff. I have no issue with Pelosi going away. The video seems to be more over generalizations. I thought the rich voted republican and dems collect low income voters with public assistance. But now dems are the party of the 1%?  They need to get on the same page with their ignorance.

Obama to help navigate the party interesting to hear his now politically unencumbered suggestions.

http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/346097-obama-to-reemerge-in-delicate-dance-with-dems

Former President Barack Obama will re-emerge on the national scene this fall, though Democrats expect him to do so with caution.

One aide describes the beginning of a "delicate dance" that aims to put Obama in the Democratic fray but prevents him from remaining the face of the party.

But certain parts of Kamala Harris’s political résumé have led to skepticism from the left. 

Harris has also drawn scrutiny over the crimes she wasn’t tough on. While serving as Attorney General of California, Harris failed to prosecute now-Treasury Secretary Steven “Foreclosure King” Mnuchin after his OneWest Bank engaged in a notoriously aggressive pattern of home foreclosures. Under Mnuchin, OneWest was a “foreclosure machine” that did everything it could to seize people’s houses, inflicting misery on homeowners while failing to properly review foreclosure documents. Harris’s consumer law division found that OneWest had engaged in “widespread misconduct” in its treatment of borrowers; the investigators urged Harris to “conduct a full investigation of a national bank’s misconduct and provide a public accounting of what happened.” Instead, Harris closed the case, not even pursuing the compromise measure of a civil penalty. As David Dayen writes, this “watered-down version of public accountability was seen as the best possible outcome, and Harris didn’t even go for that.” In failing to hold the bank accountable, Dayen emphasizes, Harris was far from alone among state law enforcement officials. Harris was, however, *the only Democratic senatorial candidate to whom Steven Mnuchin felt compelled to give a campaign donation.

we never addressed this thou....

Attorney General, with responsibilities for overseeing the second largest prison population in the country, Harris’s professional obligation to put people behind bars was seen as being in direct tension with the goals of Black Lives Matter, perhaps the most prominent progressive movement of our time. Harris touted a reform-minded “smart on crime” approach in her prosecutorial role, one that encouraged education and reentry programs for ex-offenders, and in the Senate, she has co-sponsored legislation to improve prison conditions for women. Yet she has also come under heavy criticism from activists for, among other things: defending the state against court orders to reduce its prison population, declining to take a public stand on sentencing reform proposals, attempting to block a court decision requiring the state to provide a transgender inmate with gender reassignment surgery, opposing a measure to require independent inquiries into police uses of force, and obstructing efforts by federal judges to hold California prosecutors accountable for an “epidemic” of misconduct. Harris has been a zealous prosecutor (at times, she said, she has been “as close to a vigilante as you can get”), and certain of her policies—like bringing criminal charges against parents whose children miss school—conflict with the efforts of groups like BLM to reduce the reach of the criminal justice system into people’s lives.

how progressive, jail struggling parents who can hardly raise their kids because they work 3 jobs to make ends meet.
