Trump has proposed privatizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which finance 70% of US mortgages, in a move that would raise costs and collapse home ownership.
This is an absolute hands off moment! Privatization is not a magic wand for anyone but Trump and his cronies. These agencies have functioned well since their establishment. His actions here would benefit the few, including him and his friends. He’s trying to leverage everything he can in that direction, even selling pardons!
The POTUS went around the bend some time ago. What we're seeing now is an ever increasing body of evidence that supports the position that he should be removed from office according to the provisions of the 25th Amendment.
That's a no-go for the simple reason that it requires the Cabinet to do it. And they won't as those billionaires and idiots are getting what they want from POS. They're the ones pushing and helping him. Impeachment is the only way out until God takes a hand, and why should He?, and Ds take over and get a super majority. The only sane Rs have been forced out of Congress unless Collins and a few others get spines.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were created by Congress and could not be privatized without Congressional approval. At the moment, it would have to pass the filibuster in the Senate and that's not going to happen.
And idiots believe this scum bag . Something needs to be done . We lost our allies to China and soon the dollar wouldn’t be worth you wiping your ass with it . Will America be the same even if we stop him now ? NO ! But at least we won’t be speaking Russian or Chinese.
Yet more horrific bullshit, that’s what I think. We have got to push back! We must envision the America that we want — and it’s not this plan created by the GOP. It’s time for us to write OUR plan for America, and if no one has begun this then it’s time to get started!
It’s important to remember that Trump is the vehicle for siphoning the National Treasury into the eagerly waiting hands of the wealthy: the top 1/10th of 1%
Behind Trump are the men who dream up the next scheme to rob the U.S. blind. The “regime” - my word of the day!
Getting rid of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac may be the most direct attack on the American dream so far.
A privatized mortgage system would remove any/all limits on restricting who is a homeowner.
Someone the “dear leader(s)” dislikes would never get to buy a home. Whole swaths of the public, based on race, ethnicity, political views, and more, could be removed from consideration - by being charged exorbitant fees, or simply refused entry. We all know Trump has million different grudges on as many groups. Ditto the men of the “regime”.
There are more ramifications than that. In the interest of space, I’ll just add: When will American voters wake up and fight back?
I’ve given up on the MAGA toadies in Congress. They’ve been threatened. They’ve been rendered soulless.
Please read the Constitution. The Ds are powerless - they can impede, protest, have their own town halls, talk to the people and the like, which they are doing, and have the courts decide against POS. BUT unless Ds get a super majority and have enough Rs that finally get spines, they can't do anything LEGALLY to get rid of POS. The populace needs to do THEIR jobs as well.
Protest, show up at the R Congress folks offices and demand that Rs actually do their jobs and stop kissing POS's butt. The Rs have abrogated so much of their power to POS. Hold the Rs responsible NOW, not just at the midterms. Make their lives difficult so they start to listen.
The Dems are doing everything the can do and if you think they are just sitting on their hands, then you aren't watching or looking for what they are doing. They are on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, in cities and towns across America. They stay up all night long to vote in Congress to throw as many wrenches in the "R's" cogs to bring down America. They vote "no" on the legislation with few exceptions.
They hold press conferences. They are holding hearings and asking the hard questions and putting people on the spot. They are speaking on the floor of the house and senate and getting stuff put in the congressional record. They are forcing votes on controversial things to show the American public where the "R's" stand with their actual votes.
What they cannot do, as Eva says, is remove trump. They cannot impeach him, that takes a simple majority in the house and NO "R" will join them. They cannot remove him in the Senate if he was impeached because it would take 20 "R's" to abdicate the other 33 and that is not going to happen.
So, Yes! We all do what we can by pounding on the "R's" in Congress and telling the "D's" we are with them. Yes... we have to wait until the mid terms and get everyone out to vote and put the D's back in the majority in a "BIG" way. If we keep slamming the "D's," then kiss it all good-bye until 2028. So. it's time to lead, follow, or get out the way - and in this case stop bashing the Dems.
Ooo Tik Tok. Never been on it and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Forget those sites. get on the news stations. It's as bad as the Convict going on his Truth Social. It used to be that representatives actually got in front of a microphone and a camera, not anymore.
But yet, for all that you think the Dems are doing - and I vote Democrat down the ticket - they are perceived to be doing nothing. The Convict got his jet. The bribe, er, grift, er gift is still going to cost money to retrofit. And then the POS wants to take it with him when he's leaves office. And yet he says he's saving the country money. Has anyone from the left or right asked about the math on that? Because if he were allowed to take the jet for personal use it will have to be cleaned out of all security equipment, and then the country will be without an AF-1.
He's making money hand over fist with the criminal grifting he does every day. He's thrown ethics out of the window. He doesn't understand simple economics that college students learn in the first semester. His brain is oatmeal. He can't string a common sentence together. He insults almost everyone who comes to the white house. He blames everyone for what he f**ks up, but claims praise for the good stuff that others did, that he had nothing to do with. He lies every stinking day.
But hey, AOC and Bernie are on the road begging for money. Oh look, a Dem held a press conference. Doesn't do anything but make people realize how screwed up this country has become, and how worse it's going to get.
They haven't even tried to get an impeachment started. There could be Repubs that would turn. But they need to DO SOMETHING. Right now, they're sitting on their hands.
Did you even read my full post? And just for your information two Dems started impeachment proceedings, but if you would have read the entirety of my post, you would see that impeaching him at this point is pointless. Also, you would have seen all the other stuff they are doing. I never mentioned names.... So, if you want to believe they are sitting on their hands, then so be it.
My suggestion to you instead of sitting on your hands is to do something that you can do - and that is pound on the DNC and the DCCC and all the Dems. Here's their contact information. Tell them what they should be doing. Maybe that will make it happen.

Who are my Congressional Leaders in Washington, DC?
DT is moving rapidly to an oligarchy and away from Democracy. Every one of his moves benefits the wealthy. That’s where the money is and the grifter has his eye on it.
I am no longer surprised by anything Trump wants to do. It all comes down to Steven Miller and the rest of the Trump regime! The Trump regime needs to be stopped real soon! Trump is a nothing without his cronies! Fish dies from the head down.
Don't know what the MAGAts thought he was going to do, but he's sure wasting no time in ruining their lives. Hope they're happy with their vote! No sympathy from this Biden voter.
Another scam to make the rich richer and the rest of us poorer. He'll oversee it...that's both hilarious and frightening. He can't run anything without cheating somebody.

trumps not smart enough to do any of these things! The monsters around him are calling the shots to destroy the u s a.
That sucks. He wants control of both institutions after he leaves office. Gotta stop him.
This is an absolute hands off moment! Privatization is not a magic wand for anyone but Trump and his cronies. These agencies have functioned well since their establishment.

I hope congressional approval would be required for such a change, and that Congress DOES ITS JOB and has major hearings on it.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were created by Congress and could not be privatized without Congressional approval. At the moment, it would have to pass the filibuster in the Senate and that's not going to happen.

And the Dems sit on their hands and wait for a win in the midterms before they do anything. A win that may never come. Someone 8647.
Please read the Constitution.

BUT unless Ds get a super majority and have enough Rs that finally get spines, they can't do anything LEGALLY to get rid of POS. The populace needs to do THEIR jobs as well.
And what 'job' does the populace need to do? If you mean wait until the midterms, it may be too late.
Protest, show up at the R Congress folks offices and demand that Rs actually do their jobs and stop kissing POS's butt. The Rs have abrogated so much of their power to POS. Hold the Rs responsible NOW, not just at the midterms. Make their lives difficult so they start to listen.

What a horrible idea! The next generation would never be able to pay rent let alone buy a home!
No way!!
Trump… Commander-In-Thief. HE AND HIS CRONIES MUST BE REMOVED BY THE PEOPLE IMMEDIATELY BY ANY MEANS.
Another scam to make the rich richer and the rest of us poorer. He'll oversee it...that's both hilarious and frightening. He can't run anything without cheating somebody.
and going bankrupt!
