Fauxichontas tacking to the center - 'Capitalism a force for good'
[Free Beacon] Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) agreed capitalism has historically been a "force for good" during an interview Wednesday, reiterating she believes in markets that were closely watched by "a cop on the beat."

On Morning Joe, MSNBC co-host Willie Geist noted the emerging tensions between socialism and capitalism in the nascent Democratic primary fight, and he recalled how Warren, one of the top candidates in the race, called herself a capitalist "down to my bones."

"I believe in markets," Warren said. "I see the benefits that markets can produce."

Warren said Wall Street regulators in the past had allowed big banks to get wealthy on the backs of "millions of families" and crashed the economy during last decade's mortgage crisis.

"When there's a cop on the beat, those markets start to work again," she said. "Banks, in that case, are forced to develop their profit models, not on cheating people, but on actually offering a better product."

"Despite its flaws ... Do you believe capitalism over the course of history has been a force for good?" Geist asked.

#1  She just wants to be the one controlling them. She wants to be the "cop".

#2  What is her opinion on socialism? Is it a force for evil? Do you believe in bigger or smaller government than we already have?
Posted by: gorb || 03/14/2019 7:34 Comments || Top||

#3  If she thinks capitalism by and large consists of 'on cheating people', she doesn't believe in it. More bullshit for the rubes.

GA Lawmaker Proposes Bill To Regulate Men's Balls In In Response To Heartbeat Abortion Bill
[Daily Caller] A Georgia lawmaker proposed a "testicular bill of rights" package Monday in response to the state’s advancement of a bill to outlaw abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected.

Democratic state Rep. Dar’shun Kendrick seeks to regulate male bodies in response to what she contests is the regulation of women’s wombs.

The bill would require men to ask permission from their partners before taking Viagra or erectile dysfunction medication and wait 24 hours before purchasing a sex toy. The lawmaker wants to classify sex without a condom as "aggravated assault" and ban vasectomy procedures.

Men would also be forced to begin paying child support before a woman reaches eight weeks in pregnancy.

Kendrick announced the legislation on Twitter.

#1  An attempt to outlaw 'entitlement infant homicide' appears to be hitting a nerve.

#2  Sounds like she's been watching too much Zardos.

#3  Nuts!

#4  They already have our balls, since every male has to register for selective service.

#5  Only problem. Our balls are part of our body. A fetus isn't part of a woman's. Strange how the infanticide crowd keeps trying to avoid/deny that. It is almost like they don't want people to realize it is a separate, living thing.

So, a racialist idiot

#7  #6 The norm for women these days. Especially Democrats but not all I guess. Maybe not entirely so. I think. I hope. I don't really know.

#8  If we are going to play silly games, shouldn't a woman who gets an abortion be on the hook for the federal and state tax revenue that would have been paid by the abortee?
Posted by: SteveS || 03/14/2019 10:29 Comments || Top||

#9  So, if a man is being responsible enough too get a vasectomy so he don't knock a bunch of women up, you wanna take that away. That makes a hell of alot of sense there. Someone should shoot that stupid cunt in the head.

Senate confirms Neomi Rao to DC Circuit in party-line vote
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] The Senate voted Wednesday to confirm Neomi Rao, President Trump’s regulatory czar, to succeed Justice Brett Kavanaugh on a powerful federal appeals court viewed as a springboard to the Supreme Court.

The 53-46 vote to put Rao on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit split Republicans and Democrats as expected, as many Democrats were upset with her academic writings.

Rao was scrutinized for op-eds she wrote while an undergraduate at Yale University about date rape and sexual assault. She also came under fire for arguing against a ban on dwarf-tossing.

#1  That was easy.

And screw the liberals, I think we should keep the ban on dwarf-tossing.
Posted by: gorb || 03/14/2019 7:38 Comments || Top||

#2  I wonder if Rao argued that dwarf-tossing was an expression of free speech since she was opposed to the ban at Yale. That argument opens all kinds of possibilities, e.g. Donk-tossing...

#3  What about large dwarf tossing?

To the skies as he fleetingly flies!
