      I'm seeing a lot of outrage tweets over this. If you are wondering such criticisms don't always land and many people shrug, I'd like to remind folks that George W. Bush administration put a 24-year old with no finance background or interest in charge of Iraq's stock market.https://twitter.com/dlippman/status/1232466628069060608 …

      SCOOP — The White House has hired a college senior to be one of the top officials in its powerful Presidential Personnel Office, three administration officials familiar with the matter told me. His name is James Bacon, 23, and is a GW senior. https://politi.co/2w1RCdd

      A lot of things in 2020 make sense if you start to understand 2016 as a symptom of decades of elite impunity, corruption and failure rather than a one-off aberration. Yes, of course impact of new media, new types of corruption and incompetence, too. It's all feeding on itself.

          And Democrats have done little to prove they're different. Need to own their mistakes if they want to rule. Compare: - Obama bailed out to banks and the larger multinational auto corporations - Hong Kong just gave every citizen $10,000 to help them through a Coronavirus downturn

          Exactly! Billionaires are ruling and ruining our lives for their own gains and why we need President @ewarren who’s not afraid to take on this kind of corruption.

          Until real campaign finance reform, money=speech=power is reality. All elected officials will be owned by big money that paid for seats. They will represent those interests rather than the needs of constituents. That’s why I support Sanders: he walks the talk.

          Yes, some of us have not forgotten “heckuva job, Brownie” in charge of FEMA during Hurricane Katrina. It’s part of the larger GOP plan to destroy government’s ability to serve people, then justify cutting funding.
