Dodd-Frank will soon be as "gone with the wind" as Obamacare.

Watch and see.

he is probably the ugliest human being I have ever seen. He had to be gay to be able to get anybody. and even then I’m sure would cost him.

“Mr. Frank” is off pulling his and others’ pud in obscurity. May he rot there.

Fwank mocked and laughed at the Bush folks who were before his committee saying the housing mess was a bubble that would explode. Anything he says on any subject is total BS intended to protect and fatten his own wallet.

I’ve been reading about Dodd at Neuremberg. He was a good lawyer.

Actually, sadly, there were some stunning gals in Manhattan that came from other states that were liberal.

I worked in graphics so there were lots of gays and lots of hot gals :) We straight men were the minority.

Dated some but the leftist ideas beat you down after a while, no matter how hot they are.

Thomas Dodd certainly uncovered a lot of gruesome things.

Churchill wanted to bypass all that and just summarily execute the guilty parties. Might have sent a far stronger message.

The trial proved the rule of law to the world and established American moral authority for the rest of the century.

If that were true, then we wouldn’t be in the mess we are today. We certainly would not have a United Nations whose charter was derived from Stalin’s USSR constitution—and that’s just for starters.

What kills me about 24x7 news coverage is they stick a microphone in front of anyone’s face like their opinion matters or they are still relevant. Got to fill that air time
