After Wells Fargo stole my house and gave it to Blackrock during the last crash, I was listening to NPR. And then, I heard a Wells Fargo commercial. Never tuned in again. Screw both parties!

They needed only three more Democrats, by the way. For a guy that came from TYT, I never thought I'd agree with you so often. Keep up the good work, Jimmy.

If any politician ruined checks and balances, it was Obama, sending America to 7 countries of war, without approval from the house or senate, but they don't talk about that.
