Not normal: Federal Judge Sallie Kim held Trump Education Secretary Betsy DeVos in contempt of court for violating an order to stop collecting loan payments from former students of scam colleges. Kim fined Education Department $100,000 for violating the preliminary injunction.
Aaron Glantz's new book, Homewreckers: How a Gang of Wall St. Kingpins, Hedge Fund Magnates, Crooked Banks and Vulture Capitalists Suckered Millions of Out of Their Homes and Demolished the American Dream is generally horrible for Trump's inner circle.
"Let's face it," wrote Nick Lento on Facebook yesterday, "Mayor Pete is a Democratic version of Mitt Romney... corporate to the core." That's right. His corporateness defines him and oozes out of every pore. Pete is the ultimate product of McKinsey & Company, a real life, genuine nexus of evil on Planet Earth.
Although... she's not wrong about the personification of the rotNot everyone wishes Hillary would go away-- or at least go silent until after the election-- but everyone I know does. This blog has been a bastion of anti-Tulsi sentiment for at least 6 years, when she started serving in Congress. And it really has been a go-to-spot for all Tulsi's history long before she was known on the national stage.
Have you ever agreed with right-wing Fox-Democrat Doug Schoen on anything? Never say never. In an OpEd for Fox.com after the debate, he wrote that Elizabeth Warren and Bernie were big winners and Biden-- every Republican's dream candidate-- was a loser.
As you probably know, I'm all-in on Bernie. This blog has had a contribution page for him since before he announced-- Bernie and only Bernie. So you can imagine that I know a lot of "Bernie Bros."

Don't get me wrong, I'm voting for Bernie. And I hope he picks Warren as his running mate.
Grim's right, of course. And if you're a regular DWT reader, you've known about it for years-- and this isn't just about Hunter Biden. That brother of his-- is he in prison yet?-- is even worse?
On CNN yesterday, former Secretary of State Colin Powell warned that "The Republican party has got to get a grip on itself. Republican leaders and members of the Congress… are holding back because they’re terrified of what will happen [to] any one of them if they speak out." Trump appears to be overseeing the disintegration of the GOP.
Yesterday, on Fox, towards the end of his panel discussion, Chris Wallace asked Karl Rove if "Trump's continued targeting of Joe Biden may be the best thing Biden has going for him right now." Rove: "Well, it would be if Biden knew how to respond. The president started going after him the weekend of September 16th and his first real tough response was October 5th, delivered late in the afternoon on the West Coast so that none of us saw it, and it was, how dare you attack my family.
