DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz joins hands with GOP in assault on Elizabeth Warren’s consumer protection agency

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a close ally of Hillary Clinton, is trying to gut regulations on loan sharks
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, has joined the Republican assault on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
...
Not if the DNC can stop it, however. For Wasserman Schultz has thrown her weight behind the Republican effort to sabotage the bureau’s proposed regulations of the out-of-control predatory lending.

The DNC executive is co-sponsoring a new bill that would effectively “gut the CFPB’s forthcoming payday loan regulations,” the Huffington Post reports.

Can we rename her Debbie Wasserman-republican and get her thrown the heck out so we can elect some progressives? as it is she undercuts progressives in her own state and supports either republicans or DINOs. But I am sure everyone knows this about her now.
why is she heading the DNC or sor we call it the RNC part II? Why is she there at all, if we won a few election I would see it, but everything has gone to pot under her lack of leadership.

Guess what campaign info Christie just sold to Marco Rubio?

anything for a buck

Gov. Chris Christie's now-suspended presidential campaign has sold its email list of supporters and donors to his former chief Republican rival Marco Rubio, the governor's campaign spokesman confirmed Monday.

That means those who supported the governor are now getting messages from Rubio, who was Christie's prime target during the New Hampshire primary. The first e-mail message went out Sunday afternoon.

Samantha Smith, a spokeswoman for Christie's campaign, told NJ Advance Media the decision to sell the e-mail list to Rubio was "no endorsement" and that "it is standard practice for other campaigns to buy lists ... Anyone can rent/buy the list via the vendor."

I have my computer on mute and when I go to Salon, it's ads turn on my sound agaiN

It is very annoying, I have the speakers away from me, don't want to have to walk across the room to turn off the speakers or to have to dig around behind the computer under the desk to pull the speaker plug.
why does this happen and how do I stop it?

I think everyone is overlooking the most important decision now that Scalia is dead

Who will be Clarence Thomas' friend? He a Scalia were in lock step sometimes it was just the two of them against everyone else.
Who will write the dissenting decisions? Scalia did most of them from the conservative side.

Bwah - Larry Wilmore a special place in hell skit (Spoiler don't read if you don't want to know)

the end line was hysterical - he had all these women who were in hell for living good lives and then they mentioned that they were saving a space for Madeleine Albright - a special place in hell for women who don't support women who make up their own damn minds.
I could not help but laugh long and loud.
ETA spoiler warning, should have had that there in the first place.
