1. Loan sharks do too, but have more integrity and honor, DWS. Hope she gets primaried out.

[progressoid]

3. "Debt Trap Debbie"

Perfect.

[Plucketeer]

5. PPP!

Primary this Pathetic Politician back to private life. Surely, she could get a job as manager at one of these Payday Loan places.

[Ikonoklast]

42. I still cannot believe this...person...is accepted as a Democrat in any way.

Actively works against the interests of the party members and the voters who elected her she is supposed to represent.


If anyone still believes that huge money interests haven't taken over control of the Democratic Party I don't know what proof they need to see.


The party will implode after the appointed one loses to that bloviating idiot Trump.

[karlfrisch]

19. Actually, that's the old ad.

Here's the new one:

[JimDandy]

36. They needed to keep in the 2nd ad the $$ amount Payday lenders gave to DWS, though.

Glad they did a new ad, because the first ad was making me nauseous with all the rotating visuals.

[CharlotteVale]

4. K&R

[jalan48]

6. I keep waiting to hear from the Schultz/Clinton apologists why Debbie's payday scam is a good thing.

So far. Silence. Why is that?

[Stevepol]

7. Her silence is unfortunately necessary.

[msanthrope]

8. It's not. It's possible to still be for HRC for President whilst despising

legislation that DWS promotes. Just as I'm sure you still think Bernie Sanders is fit to be president whilst voting to protect gun manufacturers.

[Ford_Prefect]

12. The personal association between DWS and HRC is an unavoidable approval.

They appear to closely share content, method, and sponsors as do a number of HRC's Neo-Liberal affiliates.

Birds feathering their nests I say. Who is going to stop what everyone seems to be doing, eh?

[msanthrope]

14. Yeah.. and BHO was palin' around with terrorists. Lame. nt

[Ford_Prefect]

16. Thou art both articulate and convincing, as ever...

[ciaobaby]

18. about gun manufacturers

First of all, please know that I am NOT a gun advocate, I do not own a gun, and I believe there are way too many guns in the USA and we need more regulations and I am all for gun registration.
Having said that, I do not understand how a victim of gun violence suing a gun manufacturer solves anything.
If the manufacturer is making and providing a legal product, if there is nothing malfunctioning in the product they sell, I don't think they can be held responsible for the products misuse by a criminal or fool.
Can I sue a car manufacturer if I get drunk and pull onto the freeway going the wrong way and cause a head on collision. Am I totally and completely to blame? Yes. so why would someone sue the car company for my deadly use of its legally sold product.

[Eleanors38]

29. Thank you for your reasonable and measured response.

[msanthrope]

31. Your understanding of tort law is facile. mt

[ciaobaby]

32. alrighty then

[PatSeg]

21. I think Wasserman-Schultz is bad

for the Democratic party and it has nothing to do with her support of Hillary Clinton. DWS is a terrible DNC chair and cost the party seats and governorships in 2014. She should have been replaced a long time ago. If she wants to stay in politics, perhaps she should switch parties as she comes across much more like a republican than a Democrat.

[Gore1FL]

37. I agree with you.

There are many, though, in the HRC camp on DU that will defend DWS simply because she opposes Sanders.

[Cassiopeia]

41. To be fair, the NRA has done fundraisers for only one Dem Presidential candidate

This season and it's not Bernie.

[msanthrope]

43. The NRA has never done a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton. that's as silly as claiming that Monsanto

Support Bernie Sanders because Ted Levine consults for them.

[LanternWaste]

26. Because our biases prevent us from listening to that which would invalidate those biases.

"Why is that?"

Because our biases prevent us from listening to that which would invalidate those same biases. A 15 second google search yielded many results, but no doubt-- that same bias would compel you to dismiss them without rational or critical reasons.

[Warren DeMontague]

40. they're still working on justifying her support for incarcerating sick grannies who use cannabis?

[Omaha Steve]

[Omaha Steve]

39. DNC Chair Joins GOP Attack On Elizabeth Warren’s Agency

...and I don't waste my finances on seats that are safely Democratic.

She took payday loan payola and slams a leading D Senator. Still think SHE is a D?

Tim was flirting with 1 million raised this month from small individual donations. He has more in state donations than DWS!

Payday lenders get a new ally.
03/01/2016 11:04 am ET | Updated May 17, 2016

WASHINGTON — Payday lenders have been gunning for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau since the day President Barack Obama tapped Elizabeth Warren to set up the new agency. They’ve had plenty of help from congressional Republicans — longtime recipients of campaign contributions from the payday loan industry. As the CFPB has moved closer to adopting new rules to shield families from predatory lending, the GOP has assailed the agency from every conceivable angle — going after its budget, attempting to tie its hands with new layers of red tape, fomenting conspiracy theories about rogue regulators illegally shutting down businesses and launching direct attacks on payday loan rules themselves.

To date, the GOP blitz has resulted in a few close shaves for the young agency, but no actual defeats. But the industry has cultivated a powerful new ally in recent weeks: Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.).

Wasserman Schultz is co-sponsoring a new bill that would gut the CFPB’s forthcoming payday loan regulations. She’s also attempting to gin up Democratic support for the legislation on Capitol Hill, according to a memo obtained by The Huffington Post.

LISTEN to HuffPost’s analysis of the bill in the latest episode of the “So That Happened” politics podcast below. The discussion begins at the 53:35 mark:

What a branding for the DNC chairperson to have.

[Cary]

13. Sanders supporters' favorite scapegoat.

[greiner3]

33. Missing

/s

[Gore1FL]

38. She is awful

It's possible to separate HRC from DWS, and you should.

[PatrynXX]

15. taking payday lenders sides is idiotic and i feel part of the reasons that led to what happened in 2

2008..

It is basically a BAD loan like Freddie May or Mac.


I don't know any LIBERAL who'd support it (hint hint)

[fbc]

17. Wasserman-Schultz isn't the problem.

She's a symptom.

How could anyone so completely opposed to the ideals of the democratic party become the leader of the democratic party? How could someone who openly supports republicans over democrats in elections keep their job as leader of the democratic party?

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

[CharlotteVale]

20. Excellent point.

[PatSeg]

22. The republican party must

really love that she is the DNC chair.

[Ford_Prefect]

27. Kinda makes you wonder who else is funding her campaign, don't it?

[PatSeg]

28. Exactly!

I don't think Debbie is all that concerned about party, I think she is focused on Debbie.

[Jester Messiah]

30. She's certainly not part of the solution. n/t

[hollowdweller]

23. Is there going to be any sort of a Dump DWS protest at the convention??

I've been really let down by her.

[Pastiche423]

24. K&R!

[kevink077]

34. Makes my skin crawl

Payday loans companies are the dirtiest predators out there. Hey Debbie, if you really gave a damn about the poor how about going to your payday loan buddies and demand an interest rate less than 500% apr???
