More on Trump

[Exterminator]

Yeah I was taken aback by his outfit myself.

Did you see Kellyanne Conway state this morning that he was presenting "alternative facts?" 

Someone needs to inform that bitch that another word for "alternative facts" is lies.

You can't make this shit up.

Did you see the SNL skit where the guy pretneding to be Putin said her inauguration outfit made her look like she should be holding the door at F.A.O. Schwarz?

Hope you don't have an FHA loan Hank.

Doesn't effect existing mortgages just new mortgages. Also when 20% of the principle has been paid it can be dropped from the mortgage.

WASHINGTON ― With what may have been his first presidential order, Donald Trump made it more expensive for working- and middle-class Americans to buy their first homes. The move will increase costs for 750,000 to 850,000 Americans in the next year alone, according to the National Association of Realtors.

The Obama administration had said last week that the Federal Housing Administration would drop the cost of mortgage insurance it sells by almost a third to 0.60 percent. But after Trump took office, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which oversees the FHA, told lenders the fee cut was off. The reversal of the reduction will mean that homebuyers who borrow $200,000 under the program will see their mortgage insurance fees go up by $500 a year relative to what the Obama administration had ordered, according to figures released by the FHA when the cut was announced.

The reduction was intended to help partially offset the cost of rising mortgage rates and was scheduled to go into effect on Jan. 27. The government sells the insurance in case borrowers default.



The mortgage industry's main lobby group said when the cut was announced that it looked forward to working with the new administration on the issue. Congressional Republicans attacked the move, saying it would cut into the reserves the FHA held against defaults.

Julian Castro, Obama's HUD secretary, said when the fee cut was announced that the FHA's reserve fund had grown by $44 billion in the last four years and that it was time to share these gains with borrowers. Ben Carson, Trump's nominee to run HUD, said in his confirmation hearing that he supported undoing the fee cut, and lending trade publications reported that a reversal was likely.

"We're disappointed in the decision but will continue making the case to reinstate the cut in the months ahead," Bill Brown, the president of the National Association of Realtors, said in a statement to The Huffington Post.

A spokesman for the National Association of Home Builders told HuffPost that it opposes canceling the reduction and it "will work with the Trump team" on the issue. "We feel confident that they will reinstate the reduction," the spokesman said.

And it would appear they are lining up to file lawsuits in droves. . .

Remember when the conservative clowns used to criticize Obama for his lack of transparency?

Funny you mentioned that as one of the news commentators of our local news said something about that today.

While watching the inauguration I wondered how the crowd compared and looked it up images for it.  Wow.  Guess he was disappointed not more showed up.

So what?  It's a picture of the inaugural platform. 

[Palehorse]

I am wondering why we aren't hearing any screams from the Trumpanzees surrounding this blitz of executive orders the Raging Cheeto is signing. . .

Oh that's right! I forgot they are hypocrites! 

Threatening to send the Feds to Chicago.

Immediately reviving two oil pipeline projects that were shut down for just causes.

Ordering construction of a wall on the border with Mexico, without any accountability or explanation for how it is going to be paid for.

Taking women's rights and trampling them with due process.

He continues to feed public discourse and distrust by falsely claiming voter fraud without evidence, and in the face of contradictory evidence in fact.

He is enacting national immigration policies via executive order, again without due process, that is discriminatory in nature based upon religious belief.
(This country was founded due to similar religious persecution in other countries.)

He is threatening defunding of cities found to be "harboring illegal immigrants". . .

And he has issued yet another executive order instructing immediate streamlining of environmental practices and deregulation of same.

This country is quickly approaching the socialistic and communistic governance the conservatives were crying wolf over for the last 8 years. Only this time it is real and being implemented without due process.

The true, correct story of what happened at Donald Trump's inauguration

The true, correct story of what happened at Donald Trump's inauguration

I must be a psychic ! (I stand by this statement still)

Rip the plaque off the pedestal of Lady Liberty that reads:

The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

This will be nothing but a lie . . . starting Jan. 20, 2017.  That "Golden Door" will be plated w 10k imitation Gold. . .

[Palehorse]

And this one as well:

There is always a danger to this country; always has been and always will.

For years now I have been advocating the removal of the plaque that sits at the bottom of the Statue of Liberty entitled "The New Colossus", and I believe the actions of this Nation in the past 6 weeks more than underscores my reasons for doing so.

This nation has always been a melting pot of all races, creeds, colors, religions, and sexual orientations. It has historically been the nation that the world looked to because of this, but not anymore.

Now we seem to want to close our boarders, deport everyone that isn't a natural born citizen of this country, and sit like Scrooge within our comparatively tiny little world and watch the rest of the globe sink into Anarchy. All as we sit hypocritically celebrating the win of refugees over the Native American peoples of this land only yesterday. . .

That very approach was the downfall of Rome and other great nations throughout the history of this world.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

How to cover Donald Trump fairly

He continues to feed public discourse and distrust by falsely claiming voter fraud without evidence, and in the face of contradictory evidence in fact.

He is enacting national immigration policies via executive order, again without due process, that is discriminatory in nature based upon religious belief.
(This country was founded due to similar religious persecution in other countries.) So you don't mind that our citizens are being killed or raped by illegals and he wants to stop that? You don't mind that we are giving them freebies and our own are going without? It's the criminal illegal who he is going after first.
[/color]
He is threatening defunding of cities found to be "harboring illegal immigrants". . . When they are protecting the criminal illegals as well as the good ones and the crime rate is unreal, yes, that needs to be done.

And he has issued yet another executive order instructing immediate streamlining of environmental practices and deregulation of same.

This country is quickly approaching the socialistic and communistic governance the conservatives were crying wolf over for the last 8 years. Only this time it is real and being implemented without due process.
