Actually, this seems like a fairly good assessment of the situation, and raises the specter of a deal for Clinton (or Biden) to put the Obamanation where he can do the most damage...

    the perfect dark horse would never be elected in this current culture unfortunately. Rand Paul is about as close as you can get today, and he will never make it thru the primaries, let alone the actual election. Even is ALL the gulchers voted for him

    Actually, johnpe, you have invented a wonderful new word: "mightmares". "Mightmares" = the fear that someone in power will destroy your sleep by their abuse of their authority.

    Jan, having mightmares now

    I have read it on several online news publications over the years. She lost her license in a deal to forgo prosecution for insurance fraud, I believe the article said when she worked for that hospital. He lost his when it was discovered he supposedly put false information on his application - but then, what has he ever told the truth about.

    I suspect the signals are already there that the Obamanation will dig its heels in to prevent an indictment, but if that happens, expect to see a lot of key FBI senior executives resign in protest, with leaks aplenty of the nasty details. The alternative would be for them to let the indictment proceed, but have Obama grant her an immediate pardon, providing she steps aside for good old Joe. However Biden is anointed, the Sanders supporters will stay home on election day, and he may not inherit all of the Hillary supporters, who will blame the DNC for abandoning her.

    Compared to BA Wells Fargo is heaven I've only met three people that don't l like them. But the best is not available for most of you. Requires present employment or retirement from federal service or military service. AFCU or Anderson Federal Credit Union is the best by far and for anyone who lives or travels in other countries it's the only choice. No fees at all for transferring funds. None. With WF I get 12 no fee transfers per month with BA they charged for each and every one and treated ATMs like checks with international checking fees. Mexico for example doesn't disperse money through tellers the ATM does it for them. In my Mexico account I pay zero fees for anything once it' s deposited.

    So....main thing is if your contemplating Bank America You'll BEeeeeeee Soooooooooorrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy

    All true. I suspect Biden will be brought in when/if "sorry we have to indict you" happens. Fox is always saying it as if it will be tomorrow, but the Obamanation may still protect her. Deals upon deals...She is so desperate to be Queen that I am sure she will sell whatever positions she has not already sold...

    That is like asking do you want the poison or the gun? Both are bad. Trump I believe, is disingenuous at best, and his history involves as much manipulation as any politician. He does seem to grasp the customers needs, which is why he resonates so well, and the fact the rest of them do not is just proof of how way far, they are out of touch. While we may get into a bad or badder choice, I am hoping the Dark Horse shows up...

    I think Hitlery is already viewed as damaged goods by the DNC. While the focus in the media is on the email crap, the mortal wound is the issue of her enabling of her sexual predator husband, which has turned off the millennial female voters.

    Targeting Trump as a sexist was a bad move, giving him the counterpunch of reminding people of slick Willie's history of sexual abuse, and her savaging of the abused. With the new generation steeped in the increased awareness of sexual predators and those who make it possible for them to continue their activities, she has no credible response to the historical record, other than to label credible journalists and the legal record as liars.

    Where the email plays as extra salt in this wound is the unbelievable claims of her supporters that Obama-appointed or approved figures in the DOJ and intelligence community are all part of the "vast right wing conspiracy" to bring her down. Expect to hear about a Biden bid before March, after she loses both the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries.

    The biggest recipient even with the phony fines added in was the worst bank and that's Bank America. Two recommendations

    If driving stay at least five states away from any branch.

    If walking stay at least five blocks away from any branch or ATM outlet

    Any closer and after passing within that proximity your wallet will be emptied.

    And your fuel tank

    and those of the vehicles and people around you.

    It isn't the bank of A. P. Gianini any more.

    It's like Obama on steroids

    Pelosillyni with an oxygen tank

    Cingular come back to life

    Soros with blood doping

    shhhhhhhhh

    They might hear us.

    Term, sorry but I just can't imagine Trump being criminal in command. Can we call in a Dark Horse like Jim Webb? Every one of them has their own skeleton collection, but as an ex Marine, I would have to hope he at least has a passing acquaintance with the term "honor" and "country" and "loyalty", and may even actually think we have some rights, unlike both of these other clown collections.

    Doc, my tea leaves say that HillaryBeast will be found a suitable criminal to replace the current one, by the manipulators behind this mess. I would say Biden is plan B if the non party members in the FBI and CIA can make enough steam to move to her indictment, which Biden would then pardon. Closed loop circulation.

    That was a grabber for me, I thought it worth the discomfort of reading it. Clear and present danger aside, this is like declaring she has bought his loyalty (or that of whoever is really running this trainwreck) and the fix is in. Yet no one seems to be able to see that, the love fest continues...

    Actually I have come to believe that that was an intentional line grabber, to pull in people from both sides. but no matter the term, some of their conclusions seem valid. The conclusion regarding the need for unity that the Repblicraps lack is valid, they are so fractured right now they will keep eating each other until the convention, and then turn around and all sing cum-by yah, and everyone who might have gone their way will bail on them as totally fake. Which is also true for HillaryBeast and Bernie, but they have a whole government working to cover for them. The Republicraps are out in the open, and are like deer in headlights. I fear HillaryBeast will be found to have huge numbers of above top secret emails etc, and numerous felony violations, and will still get elected so they can continue another 4 years of pillage and profit.

    I have seen a lot of dot connecting done between GS and government positions, it is a revolving door setup and it is no wonder they are "too big to fail". It is a thoroughly corrupt setup, and the loss of all the small banks has been an intentional maneuver over the last 20-30 years.

    Somebody went overboard while not understanding the meaning of the two words. They don't fit together by any means.

    I might add the fraud was under the control of, the direction of, and with the legal framework and cover provided by the government. When some of the requirements changed it drove many of the smaller competing banks out of of business. Simple case of two legs of socialism the Statists and the Corporatists working together. More to the point their in house leadership are interchangeable parts. Goldman Sachs, SecTreas Reuben, Tesorobono Bailout and the then current President is a fine example.
