If Trump can con millions into believing he isn't beholden to big business, why not Warren?

If she’s a bankruptcy expert, of course she’s going to make Money advising companies.

Another thing she has in common with Trump.

In this example, she would be advising the bank what they can and cannot do when seeking repayment on trumps defaulted loans.

I suppose that going forward the enablers of Trump (the anti anti Trump folks) will be scoffed at as they complain about other politicians.

That 2 million was earned over 30 years. Kind of misleading.

I mean if you are going to attack her for making money, do it properly. She was making 66k a year as a consultant over those 33 years. Since she has become a senator in 2013, she has made almost 10 million in that timeframe.

Consultant and professor for 33 years, maybe 4-5 million total (estimating based on professor salary). As a senator for 5 years, approximately 10 million.

‘Soldiers of Jesus’: Armed neo-Pentecostals torment Brazil’s religious minorities:

There was a pounding at the door. Strange, the priest thought: He wasn’t expecting anyone. Marcos Figueiredo hurried to the entrance of his home temple and opened it.

Guns. Three of them. All pointing at him.

The “Soldiers of Jesus” had arrived — three members of a gang of extremist evangelical Christians who’d seized control of the impoverished Parque Paulista neighborhood in Duque de Caxias. First, they erected roadblocks to keep away cops and create a narcotics haven an hour’s drive from Rio de Janeiro. Now they were targeting anyone whose faith didn’t align with their own. That meant demanding the closure of temples that practiced African-influenced religions such as Figueiredo’s Candomblé.

“Nobody wants macumba here,” one of them told Figueiredo, using an ethnic slur, according to testimony he provided to authorities. “You have one week to stop all of this.”

They fired into the air and left, leaving Figueiredo with an impossible choice: his faith — or his life.

Sad outburst...

Trump "jokes" about staying in office past his expiration date, again.

Trump "jokes" about staying in office past his expiration date, again.

I don't think there's any reason to doubt that Trump has no respect for term limits. I think the dilemma is whether the GOP would stand up to him.
