Republicans just voted to gut your right to sue banks.

And this is exactly the kind of backstabbing shit that this unified Repub owned gov't have been chomping at the bit over for those eight years that Obama held office. And this is the exact kind of two-timing two-faced shit that this Repub owned gov't is going to get away with because the working class folks that voted them into office simply shut their eyes and ears over it time and time again. Nothing was learned from the Bush/Cheney years which eventually led to a financial meltdown of our economy.

These Repub working class folks get royally screwed over like this and when they do run into problems with "the system" that their own politicians set up for their wealthy benefactors, their pre-programmed knee jerk reaction is to blame the unions, the commie democrats and the liberal elites, never mind that it's their own Repub leaders that are laughing their asses off every time they hear that coming out of their constituents.

These Repub politicians are making outright fools of their working class constituents on a daily basis mostly due to these leaders diverting their constituent's attention by scaring them into obedience with tales of terrorists crossing our pourous borders and illegal immigrants taking their jobs and all manner of coded messages alluding to how being patriotic is to be a nativist, a supremacist, a protectionist and a loyal true blue conservative who listens to and obey their political leaders no matter how fvcked over they get by them.

A simple comparison of what these Repubs in the legislature say to us and their constituents and what they actually write into law is all the proof any person off the street needs to know and see how terribly disingenuous and traitorous these assholes are to their own constituents let alone to every other American working class stiff trying to make ends meet.

It's undeniable and irrefutable proof that these bastards up on the hill are worse than Trump when it comes to being the low crawling dirt eating snake oil salesmen that they are.

The marvel is that these blockheads, which includes some Sanders supporters, make so much about who is getting speaking fees from Wall Street when the only thing that matters is what they do in office. Anyone who thinks Clinton would not have vetoed this bill is unfamiliar with her voting record.
 
better luck next time america.

seems republicans are counting on their voters not actually using a bank. lol

"well shit Ma, I guess storing it in the mattress was a good idea"

I voted Sanders, because Im not in a swing state, so not blindly. I agree, HRC would not have let this happen.

Those "Sanders supporters" you speak about are more than likely lying Trump supporters. Your average legitimate Sanders voter is completely different to your average Trump voter, but when you see a supposed "Sanders supporter" who mirrors one-to-one a Trumptard, you kind of realise they may not be what they say they are. Same goes for "centrists." Never underestimate how scummy Republicans and their equally deadbeat voters are.
 
Saw the NYT notification on my phone when I woke up this morning. Shocked I was not.

Corporations are people when they want to squelch reproductive choices of women or utilize free speech (read: cash) to push policy; but certainly not in any way that would open them to loss.

Just another way we get to provitize profits and socialize losses, particularly in the financial sector (although Healthcare does it pretty well, too).
 
As a result those companies can save money on legal fees then hire more workers and wages will go up thus making America great once again. Right? Right?

Oh wait that's the tax reform argument. Silly me. My stock portfolio thanks you, gullible America.

arbitration has too many syllables and his confusing. Just feed the voters' brains with "Guns!" "Babies!" and "Freedom!" and that's all they need. Nevermind that the blue collar Trumptards are going to be taking it up the ass over every single Trump policy, at least they have their Guns! and Freedom!

They most likely would have included the things she wanted, you know like protecting single mothers and of course the children, think of the children, she would have signed it.

WASHINGTON ― On a Sunday in early February, Hillary Clinton appeared on ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos to defend her relationship with Wall Street. Her primary challenger Bernie Sanders had been pillorying her over paid speeches to Goldman Sachs. A video of Elizabeth Warren was circulating showing the consumer champion criticizing Clinton for supporting a bankruptcy bill that helped credit card companies squeeze vulnerable families. Clinton had opposed the bill as first lady, Warren said, but had fallen under Wall Street’s sway in the Senate.

People had it all wrong, Clinton told Stephanopoulos. She hadn’t switched her position to appease financiers. She had helped women’s groups fix the bill to protect single mothers. Clinton said:

I was deluged by women’s groups and children’s advocates groups to do everything I could to make sure that child support and women’s precarious financial situation in case of divorce or not being able to get the kind of funding they needed from a partner or a spouse in bankruptcy would not be in danger. … So I did go to work on behalf of all of these women’s groups and children’s groups because they needed a champion. … Nobody else was helping them. They were desperate to get help.

Clinton expressed outrage that her primary opponent would result to “innuendo, insinuation charges” about her record. “It had nothing to do with any money whatsoever, and I resent deeply any effort by the Sanders campaign to so imply.”

It was a forceful, detailed defense. There was just one hitch. It wasn’t true. And according to a trove of internal emails recently released by WikiLeaks, Clinton’s team knew it.

“We have a problem,” Clinton senior policy advisor Ann O’Leary wrote to campaign staffers that afternoon. “HRC overstayed (sic) her case this morning in a pretty big way.”

“What did she say that was wrong?” spokeswoman Kristina Schake replied.

“She said women groups were all pressuring her to vote for it,” O’Leary wrote back. “Evidence does not support that statement.”

Everybody scatters and hope they go away

Cry for America, cry for our all our fate.

Doesn't change that a bill like this would likely never have made it past Clinton's desk if she were President, and that Trump and the current Republican Congress are very much in favor of things like this. Anything that takes power away from the public.

I voted for binding arbitration?
Click to expand...

This is another area where we have SCOTUS to thank. Federal rules like this would not have been necessary if they hadn't invalidated states' ability to void mandatory arbitration clauses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T_Mobility_LLC_v._Concepcion

Mandatory arbitration as a whole should be banned as they effectively turn public courts with an impartial judge into private ones where the judge has a strong incentive to rule in favor of the business. It's contrary to the basic idea of the rule of law. For a great example, try and get a cell phone or cable/internet service without signing a mandatory arbitration clause. Good luck.
