Tulsi Gabbard is the way to go. Moral center. Clear ideas. All the rest are ONLY attempting to get elected.

When an independent or third-party candidate refuses to make a speech at AIPAC, or goes there and tells them like it is, they will get my attention.

Shes got this condescending attitude.

Word.

She refused to prosecute Steve Mnuchen.

"ONEWEST BANK, WHICH Donald Trump’s nominee for treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, ran from 2009 to 2015, repeatedly broke California’s foreclosure laws during that period, according to a previously undisclosed 2013 memo from top prosecutors in the state attorney general’s office.

The memo obtained by The Intercept alleges that OneWest rushed delinquent homeowners out of their homes by violating notice and waiting period statutes, illegally backdated key documents, and effectively gamed foreclosure auctions.

In the memo, the leaders of the state attorney general’s Consumer Law Section said they had “uncovered evidence suggestive of widespread misconduct” in a yearlong investigation. In a detailed 22-page request, they identified over a thousand legal violations in the small subsection of OneWest loans they were able to examine, and they recommended that Attorney General Kamala Harris file a civil enforcement action against the Pasadena-based bank. They even wrote up a sample legal complaint, seeking injunctive relief and millions of dollars in penalties.

But Harris’s office, without any explanation, declined to prosecute the case.

Mnuchin, the former CEO of OneWest, was already facing challenges in his upcoming Senate confirmation hearings on account of his bank’s ruthless foreclosure practices, ranging from locking out one homeowner during a Minneapolis blizzard to foreclosing on another over a 27-cent payment shortfall.

“After years peddling the kind of dangerous mortgage-backed securities that eventually blew up the economy, Mnuchin swooped in after the crash to take a second bite out of families by aggressively — and sometimes illegally — foreclosing on their homes,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren said in a statement last month. Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, warned: “Given Mr. Mnuchin’s history of profiting off the victims of predatory lending, I look forward to asking him how his Treasury Department would work for Americans who are still waiting for the economic recovery to show up in their communities.”

The consistent violations of California foreclosure processes outlined in the memo would indicate that Mnuchin’s bank didn’t merely act callously, but did so with blatant disregard for the law.

According to the memo, OneWest also obstructed the investigation by ordering third parties to refuse to comply with state subpoenas.

Whether Mnuchin directed efforts to prevent scrutiny of his bank’s practices could be a focus of the confirmation hearings.

The memo also raises questions about then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris, who was sworn in as a U.S. senator on Tuesday, and who will soon have to vote on Mnuchin’s appointment.

Why did her office close the case, deciding not to “conduct a full investigation of a national bank’s misconduct and provide a public accounting of what happened,” as her own investigators had urged?"

Kamala Harris is a cop who always sides with other cops, regardless of what is right.
She has sided with police officers over innocently convicted people.

She was against body cameras on police officers (this is a no brainer.. officers behave better while wearing them).

She is a drug warrior against legalized marijuana, which is a move that over polices black and brown communities. Harris had a political opponent who was in favour of legalizing ... she called it preposterous and irresponsible and laughed.

She defended California's 3 strikes law. Private prisons lobbied for this law, as it makes them richer.

She tried to dismiss a case, which was crucial to solitary confinement law. Solitary confinement is torture.

She pushed to criminalize truancy, which again has an impact on black and brown communities. This would give parents whose children skip school, criminal records.

She takes the position that sex work should be illegal. This puts sex workers more at risk, and in danger. Seems she just loves to arrest people, unless it's Steve Mnuchin.

She defended California's death penalty laws.

She is massively pro Israel... was in favour of giving them aid, no strings attached, despite their lovely and highly organized apartheid system.

She is not in favour of Palestinian rights.

She is good at playing the politician role, but there is nothing genuine about her overall.

And, if she were actually in support of black and brown communities, her policies would also support them. Instead, she purports to be, in her cheesy adds, which are full of platitudes and cliches, but don't hold any policy substance.

Harris was a firm proponent of civil asset forfeiture, which is legalized robbery - by cops!

Harris' answer was disappointingly tight lipped about the antagonism by Israel toward Palestine.
