so far from the Barr confirmation. who knows if he will actually stick by this when/if he gets confirmed, though he strikes me as smarter the whitaker and trump.

It was under Barr's advice and recommendation that Bush pardoned those under investigation for Iran/Contra.

He's an absolute loving moron loser and he'll definitely advise ways for Trump to avoid legal problems by leaking who he needs to pardon to get it done.

you're doing this blatant dishonesty thing that's most common among republicans where you blame obama for the effects of the great recession despite it being a result of the financial crisis that occured under bush ii

you can argue that he dealt with the great recession poorly and be honest; trying to blame him for the impacts of the great recession itself is fox-news level dishonesty

if the guy is a legitimate president, he's the legitimate president because he's their version of the speaker of the house and the presidency is vacant and so, under venezuelan law, he becomes president. but the important part is that under that same law he's very much just a temporary caretaker: he's required to call elections within 30 days. so recognizing him "as president" is just saying "hold actual elections"

Obama allowed the foreclosures to proceed despite the rampant fraud. Then his DOJ got a very light settlement out of the banks and it didn’t matter much by that point since people still lost their homes.

Yeah, I would never assert that Obama caused the recession, only that he failed miserably at responding to it in a way that showed any humanity or regard for his fellow human beings.

He oversaw the largest decrease in black wealth since we started measuring it in these terms. If you have a dispute with the factual nature of that statement, by all means go for it.

He was in office, and had the power to make different choices than he did. Instead of bailing out homeowners or individuals, he listened to his Wall Street advisors, and bailed out banks despite the fact that the banks were the central point of failure that caused the problem in the first place. He rewarded the perpetrators, and punished their victims.

Right. I think the biggest example of this was a rocket docket in Florida out of Duval County (Jacksonville) that processed an eye-popping 25 foreclosures an hour!

https://www.jacksonville.com/article/20101011/BUSINESS/801243198

quote:

On Friday, Bank of America announced that it was stopping foreclosures in all 50 states after evidence that employees and lawyers signed documents without verifying them. JP Morgan Chase & Co and Ally Financial have stopped foreclosure proceedings in some states after similar evidence surfaced.

Not all of it is almost cult-like fanaticism. A big component is supporting Israel is cult fanaticism. A lot of doomsday Christians believe that when Israel and the Jews get wiped out, Jesus comes back. So they support Israel in order to keep it a target because Jesus can't very well come back if there's no target to hit.

To many people, Israel is Jesus bait. It's a big component as to why so many right wingers support them.
