Sanders, Warren Joint Statement on Trump's Treasury Nominee

Wednesday, November 30, 2016

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 – Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement Wednesday after it was reported that President-elect Donald Trump will nominate Steve Mnuchin to serve as Treasury secretary:

"During the campaign, Donald Trump told the American people that he was going to change Washington by taking on Wall Street. Donald Trump’s choice for Treasury secretary, Steve Mnuchin, is just another Wall Street insider. That is not the type of change that Donald Trump promised to bring to Washington – that is hypocrisy at its worst. After his bank pocketed billions in taxpayer dollars from the bailout, Mnuchin moved on to make a fortune running another bank that aggressively foreclosed on families still reeling from the crisis. This pick makes clear that Donald Trump wants to cater to the same Wall Street executives that have hurt working families time and again."

treated by getting bored of the diagnosis and making up another one, or saying, fuck it, lets just turn the channel on the TV. That should make the patient feel better.

Tell his supporters anything and they'll believe it,then flip flop on all the election promises and his clueless followers still try to rationalize his behaviors. what fools they are..
Even when it all comes crashing down for them they will blame it on Obama/Clinton/Liberals but never admit to their own stupidity of electing a rank clueless megalomaniac amateur to the position of President.

...entirely at the discretion of immigration officials-and have been for years, under both
Democratic and Republican administrations.

The only thing new is Trump blathering on about how he's looking forward to it...
