Instead we get banks that refuse to even police their own systems. We get bank fraud relabeled as “identity theft”.
On the one hand I didn’t vote for Trump, don’t want any of what he’s doing to happen. At all.
But on the other hand I’d be happy to light the match that sets alight the house of cards thats been built. Everything about life in the US seems like its built on a foundation of lies.
In my frustration, I may have digressed a bit :)

- bsder 2y agoDifferent Texan--Sam Rayburn.
- macintux 2y agoInteresting, thanks. I see it attributed to both, but the numbers favor Rayburn. Possibly LBJ quoted him on it at some point.
- bsder 2y agoFrom where are you getting LBJ quoting? Even a cursory Google only coughs up Sam Rayburn. I actually have to look for LBJ using it in "Remarks at an Airport Rally in Wilmington, Delaware". Wikiquote seems to have the validated references. While Rayburn may be the first to use this quote in a recorded way, I can certainly believe that it is much older than Rayburn.
- macintux 2y agoOne example from the White House, but it’s immediately after discussing Rayburn. https://www.lbjlibrary.org/life-and-legacy/the-lbj-the-nation-seldom-saw https://www.lbjlibrary.org/life-and-legacy/the-lbj-the-natio...
