I skimmed through Sen. Elizabeth Warren's S.2544 - Ending Too Big to Jail Act bill and came across

Ending Too Big to Jail Act posted:

[stuff about Special Inspector General for Financial Institution Crime reporting requirements]

...

The chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer, and chief compliance officer of a financial institution, a bank holding company, or a savings and loan holding company with assets greater than $10,000,000,000 shall submit to the appropriate entity, subject to section 1001 of title 18, United States Code, an annual certification that the officers have conducted due diligence and found that there is no criminal conduct or civil fraud in the financial institution, bank holding company, or savings and loan holding company, as applicable, that has not been disclosed in full to the Department of Justice or the applicable regulator. If a disclosure to the Department of Justice or the applicable regulator has been made, the certification shall explicitly describe all of the details of the conduct that has been disclosed, including but not limited to, the date of disclosure, and the person to whom the disclosure was made.

...

(3) CRIMINAL PENALTIES.—

(A) IN GENERAL.—A chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer, and chief compliance officer of a financial institution, a bank holding company, or a savings and loan holding company willfully violating this section or a regulation prescribed under this section shall be fined not more than $250,000, or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both.

(B) OTHER LAWS.—A chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer, and chief compliance officer of a financial institution, a bank holding company, or a savings and loan holding company willfully violating this section or a regulation prescribed under this section while violating another law of the United States or as part of a pattern of any illegal activity involving more than $100,000 in a 12-month period, shall be fined not more than $500,000, imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both.

It creates a law enforcement agency for investigating financial crimes under the office of the Special Inspector General for Financial Institution Crime. The reporting requirements part seems more like it belongs in the Fine the Bank CEOs Caught Protecting Criminal Employees Act Still Legal for the Rich Act, but then again IANAL and at least it's better than the status quo

I'm going to be laughing my rear end off if the dems run a similar clown car primary like the GOP.

The GOP primary was so much fun to follow because you had some many options to lampoon like Jeb!, Liddle Marco and Lyin' Ted.

she's a 28 year old political novice who has just become the national face of the growing socialism caucus in a country who's trying to get worker rights that other countries got 150 years ago. She's gonna make some mistakes in the media and so long as her votes are good come January, that's ok.

I still think Harris is still the most likely decorum standard bearer. She ticks all the right IDpol boxes, has the blessing of the Hampton donors already, and is a cop. Biden is probably still a strong contender though. His combination of bad politics, Obama nostalgia, being an old white sex pest, open contempt for the voters, and track record of lost presidential runs is going to be like loving catnip to these people.

Clapping Larry

i finally got through this

it's good

it also puts me in a v propaganda mindset. the very structure of how her dissent is flattened technically within the recording is subtly awful. they don't initially allow for audience reactions, her mic is set to a lower level than the host's, he interrupts her and chides her regardless of the argument.

yah, agreed on harris and p. much agreed about biden.

plus harris has that bad-dem attribute of appearing to be for nice things like medicare-for-all with that gushy centrism inside once you crack the shell.

plus so little of a track record legislating will be seen as an advantage, as it was with obama when he ran for pres. To this day dnd'ers will claim "he voted against the iraq war" when he wasn't even in congress then (to which they'll reply: "but he would have voted against it if he'd had the chance!").

The tried to push Harris HARD in 2016/17, it didn't work then, it won't work now that "I'm a cop who loves cops" is a much more untenable political platform for Democrats.
