All the small things

He's actually nicer than your average republican...

It really isn't a small thing, but once again republicans have voted for Big Business and it will cost average Americans dearly.  In the dead of night on Tuesday, republicans repealed a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule that made it easier for the little guy to sue banks (via class action lawsuits) and prevented banks and financial institutions from making their customers accept forced arbitration clauses, which means...if Wells-Fargo opens fake accounts in your name unless you have the wherewithal to afford a lawyer on your own (not most of us) that can compete with a multinational corporation's massive legal department, you're fucked.  Or if Equifax manages to get hacked and gives away all of your personal information, and they want to take you to binding arbitration...you're fucked.

"Christian" Mike Pence cast the deciding vote that made it much easier for banks to screw Americans--if there's a special place in hell for Christians who are anything but, Pence will be the first one admitted.

This is another in a long line of republican actions that don't get much press coverage, like their passage of right to work for less laws in numerous states, which show their true loyalty to an unfettered capitalism which results in all of us having less legal recourse against Corporate America and and a lot less money in our pockets.

By the way, thanks to republicans, credit union here I come!

Fuck Donald Trump,
