dodge dodge dodge the question, gently on the forum.

See you think Trump is going to save us - but if he gets ousted for his tratorishways then maybe he won't!!
He hasn't yet and it's been 2 years!?!?!
Do you see how that matters?
what do you call these indictments? https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/2/20/17031772/mueller-indictments-grand-jury
fake news?
What happens if there is fire w/ Russia in all the smoke? Does the GOP, who've cow-towed entirely to the ways of Trump get crushed? I think so.
Better hope it's a smokescreen! (I'm sure Newscorp has convinced you it is)
As one housing lobbyist told IMFnews Friday: ?The legislative side of this is over. We?re all now looking at the administrative options.? In other words, look for Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to fashion some type of GSE blueprint while working in tandem with the FHFA and Ginnie Mae executive Michael Bright?
why the fuck does Paul keep pushing Michael Bright and Ginnie? Ginnie isn't material and Bright isn't so much.
what you say is so slippery though. It's hard to tell.
Carney is a really unconvincing propagandist

Fannie and Freddie.
Almost 10 years ago, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the U.S. government-sponsored mortgage-guarantee entities, were nationalized and placed into a conservatorship run by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, their regulator. Ever since, politicians and regulators and investors and commentators have said that their situation is unsustainable, and have proposed plans to de-nationalized Fannie and Freddie. And those plans have always gone nowhere, and I have taken increasing delight in the incongruity. It’s gone on for 10 years! That is a pretty good argument that it’s sustainable! At least for, you know, 10 years, which I suspect is a lot longer than anyone expected when they were nationalized back in 2008. The status quo, I tend to think, is good for the government (which gets revenue from Fannie and Freddie and a convenient way to influence housing), and good for borrowers (who get cheap loans) and the financial industry (which gets to make and trade the loans), and so there is just no huge impetus to change it. Also changing it would require action from Congress, and Congress has a lot going on.
There have been some conservative rumblings about privatizing Fannie and Freddie during the Trump administration, which of course have gone nowhere. And last week a federal appeals court ruled that the FHFA was unconstitutional, though not in a way that changes much about the status of Fannie and Freddie. But the latest news comes from the Democratic side:
Representative Maxine Waters said fixing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would top her list of priorities if Democrats take control of the House in this year’s mid-term elections and she becomes leader of the Financial Services Committee next year.
Hahaha oh man I want to take the other side of that. If the government is divided, and Democrats control the House while Donald Trump is president, it seems to me that the odds of doing something about Fannie and Freddie go way, way down. And they were already pretty much zero!
lol - but Trump will save us all!
great - so let me do a quick checklist.
hiding the ball for a decade (sure we improperly withheld these documents but we did it long enough so limitations is still up, so you lose!) - check (wow what a great judicial system)
lying to courts with impunity (death spiral anyone?) - check
judges backing into conclusions w/ no actual logic to get to the answer they want (Ginsberg & Millett) - check
narratives being accepted because the actual facts are too complex for the judges or they're pretending not to understand - check
connections of political favors directly to judges ruling in the case by a biased 3rd party - check (don't know what I'm talking about!?!? I can help there)
media covering for all of the above - check and check
what's the actionable outcome when there is no course for Justice that is left to the people? I think you know the answer and boy howdy they're pushing it closer all the damn time.
only libel if it's not true - you don't know either way.
I can't see how anyone following this saga maintains that there aren't rampant corruption issues at work.
Is the Treasury department actually the largest shareholder if they haven't exercised their warrants?
not on that volume
bite your tongue
Sure you aren't constitutional, but we're going to have to keep all the money anyway.
Not even close to correct.
the banks voted for him
Why hating on Mel?
never say never... remember ole Capuano?!?!?!? he was obviously wanting more money from the bank lobby and got it!
So far that's the winning bet - stealing but getting away with it sure is great.
What else is there?
