The Trump implosion

[Wry Catcher]

It's certainly clearer now why Russia would prefer to have someone like Trump in the WH rather than Clinton.

Are you idiots capable of going 2 minutes without mentioning your scapegoat?

You just pointed out some of Trump's flaws. Given the way the meeting with the Russian's went down, it's immediately apparent that they easily manipulated Trump.

There's no scapegoat. Only the reality that's right in front of you.

The only thing immediately apparent is that you also suffer from a lack of self control.

Grow up!

What a pointless contribution

I suppose, at your age it's a bit too late for you to act like an adult.

 

[The Derp]

didn't you read my post? answer is there.

No, the answer isn't. Conservatives controlled the House in 2011. They could have investigated but didn't. Why not?

 

[jc456]

it had everything to do with it. sorry bubba.

No, it doesn't. The dramatic weakening of underwriting standards for subprime loans was done in the private market, done by private originations.

Private label loans defaulted at over 6x the rate of GSE loans, as well as the fact that private label securitization is responsible for 42 percent of all delinquencies despite accounting for only 13 percent of all outstanding loans (as compared to the GSEs being responsible for 22 percent of all delinquencies despite accounting for 57 percent of all outstanding loans).

You are so far out of your depth here, it's embarrassing.

ok, so post a fking link loser.

Do you have ANYTHING of substance to offer the thread or just more asinine tripe?

A link to what?

So when you look at those charts, what is it you are seeing? Because I see a definite drop in market share for GSE's from 2004-2007. What do you see?

The True Origins of This Financial Crisis

"In a very real sense, the competition from Fannie and Freddie that began in late 2004 caused both the GSEs and the private-label issuers to scrape the bottom of the mortgage barrel. Fannie and Freddie did so in order to demonstrate to Congress their ability to increase support for affordable housing. The private-label issuers did so to maintain their market share against the GSEs’ increased demand for sub-prime and Alt-A products. Thus, the gradual decline in lending standards–beginning with the revised CRA regulations in 1993 and continuing with the GSEs’ attempts to show Congress that they were meeting their affordable housing mission–came to dominate mortgage lending in the United States."

Everybody didn't vote for Trump.

The election map says otherwise...

View attachment 127076

Nice....how many voters in each of those states?

Enough to win!

 

[P@triot]

That granted amnesty

If they were granted amnesty how can they be getting deported now?

Because you can't create law from the Oval Office chief. So President Trump reversed Barack Insane Obama's illegal "Presidential Memorandums".

 

[P@triot]

You hang on to that electoral college map.

That's how the president is elected, chief. If only you hadn't dropped out of high school and missed that class on U.S. government - uh?

Yes, that's how it works....but don't think it was a landslide....more PEOPLE voted for Hillary but LEGALLY trump became president.

Landslides aren't determined by the popular vote (because....well....nothing is). Landslides are determined by the Electoral College. And President Trump cleaned up in a big way. He flipped Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin from blue to red while retaining all of the states that had previously been red.

"Furthermore, let's talk about.....anything that can distract from the fact that I got caught lying and trying to cover up for the corruption of Barack Insane Obama and his administration"..

Now this is the part where you provide proof, right? As of now, you haven't provided any proof that Obama ordered the targeting of teabag groups. In fact, the very report you quoted from specifically says the IRS received no outside direction to target specific groups.

That's what your link says.

Slapping the subject with their own facts again huh?

So your claim that they were granted amnesty was false. The last amnesty was granted under Raygun.

The True Origins of This Financial Crisis

Did you look at the charts? GSE subprime share dropped dramatically in 2004. This is because private firms were flooding the market with subprimes. Bush reversed the prohibition on GSE's from purchasing subprimes in 2004, but it didn't matter. GSE subprime shares were minimal and not the cause of the collapse.

"A member of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission responds to our interview with Barney Frank, arguing that without the government's intervention, there would be no housing crisis"

Government intervention in the sense that Bush reversed Clinton's HUD rule that prohibited GSE's from purchasing subprimes. Government intervention in the sense that Bush's regulators didn't enforce lending standards beginning in 2004. Regulators work for the Executive Branch, and the Executive Branch said in 2008 that regulators ceased enforcing lending standards (what they mean by "dramatically weaken").

^^^ Troll clean up isle 4, troll clean up isle 4 the rotted festering stench of libtroll is making people puke.

So if it's not spite, then what is driving the investigations and the grand jury to issue subpoenas? Probable cause.

^^^ still trolling

^Still can't answer.

to blame bush is asinine, but what else would I expect form a lefty that can't see the truth.

 

[The Derp]

Bush is entirely, 100% to blame. It was Bush who flooded the market with subprime loans beginning in 2004. It was Bush whose regulators ceased enforcing lending standards beginning in 2004. It was Bush who wiped out state protections against predatory lending in 2003. It was Bush who removed leveraging restrictions for Wall Street banks. It was Bush who "let the industry police itself". It was Bush who reversed a Clinton HUD rule that prohibited GSE's from purchasing risky subprimes. Bush did all of this specifically in 2003-4 because his tax cuts did not lead to the growth he promised, and he needed something to make the economy look like it was growing when it really wasn't ahead of the 2004 election. That's why he went around crediting his tax cuts for the growth in the housing market. Bush's Tax Cuts were supposed to "pay for themselves". When they didn't, and when economic growth from 2001-03 was the worst in 80 years, he and his cronies took deliberate action to inflate a housing bubble so that the economy would grow and they could say the tax cuts were the reason why. Fast forward to today, and you have Conservatives now saying that his tax cuts didn't cause the housing bubble, even though 13 years ago, they were saying the housing market was proof the tax cuts worked.

So how many times are you people going to jerk off some bullshit before finally admitting you're full of it, and always have been?
