You missed her point. It wasn't that more FHA loans are non-performing than Fannie/Freddie loans, it was that FHA doesn't do workouts/mitigation, and a much higher percentage of their non-performing loans become REO,
She could’ve just said they were foreclosed upon without showboating the REO acronym, which would’ve been clear to everyone including slow ol Ben, the brain surgeon.
More than likely she only has a passing knowledge of the issue and the terminology but go ahead and bitch about Ben. -
When is Mueller gonna testify?
They’re going to have to subpoena him just like everybody else. No one wants to testify before Nadlers shit show. -
Has anyone found a good long range (60+ miles) HDTV antennae?

Futureman is dumb mindless entertainment you put on in the background while you are doing something else.
That describes about 99% of programming these days. -
In my latest post I implore everyone not to go to the secondary maket for anything.
Doesn’t seem to be working on here. -
[mention=429]closetojumping[/mention] says we have some kind of in with Feaster.
He must like F250s.
I believe he also had an Uncle on the Addams Family.
Definite take. -
That new LGA terminal is pretty nice! ShakeShack and a good coffee joint.
Good to know. Will choose SWA for my next flight to LGA. -

They can't game their way out of FICA, which they have no hope of ever seeing.
Well join the club! -
one last thought, as a guy who knocked on non-respondents doors to gather information, having to ask that citizen question would make an already uncomfortable conversation even more so.
So if someone doesn’t respond to the census questionnaire that shows up in their mailbox, someone is sent to their door to ask census questions?
Does this happen to all non-respondents? -
If I were a non-citizen (legal or illegal) I don't think I would complete an unnecessary document asking me about my citizenship. If I were illegal, I would probably not want to complete it regardless of the question.
You probably hit on something here. Does it really matter if illegals are likely not to respond anyway - citizenship question or no? -
their employers frequently withhold. and they never file for a return. many absolutely pay income tax.
So their employers withhold to keep the IRS off their backs but don’t worry about ICE?
That’s fucked up. -
And also because of the whole no taxation without representation thing.
Non-citizens, documented and otherwise, pay taxes.
You mean only sales taxes right?
Undocumented immigrants do not file income taxes.- 3

we won't even know if they are illegal. we'll just know that hey aren't citizens. and that will lead to rampant under-reporting, especially here in texas, where the non-citizen hispanic community has a rightful fear of what reprisal the executive branch will take against them, given stephen miller's penchant for separating families and deporting people who are actually here properly and legally.
it's beyond clear what the intent is for the administration. and it's going to result in under-reporting.
Thanks for the thoughtful response Hayden.
I do realize there is the possibility that my beloved Texas could suffer in terms of representation and funding due to under reporting of non-citizens but as you said they can still fill it out without even answering the question. I still question fundamentally if the purpose of the census is used to determine representation and funding for our citizens, why it should extend to non-citizens?
If the only real non-political answer is “well they’re here so we just have to deal with it” that to me anyways is disappointing. -
Let's get even more honester: Why shouldn't we machete them all to death?!
Well one things for certain - we can always count on you for stupid hyperbole. -
If they believe the Trump government would use it to target them, yes.
And let's be real fucking honest -
Yes let’s be real fucking honest. Why should we care what non-citizens living in this country illegally believe about a census count? -
Because the census is supposed to count Free Persons.
Correction. The term is free Persons in the constitution and it is an antiquated term at best meant to exclude slaves. Yes that is how antiquated that term is.
So it is your belief that the intent of the founding fathers was to count everyone living in the US - including those here illegally - for purposes of representation and federal funding?
Does adding the citizenship question prevent illegals from answering the census?- 4

Let’s cut to the chase. Why worry about whether non-citizens of the US respond to the census?

I’m coming around to the idea of impeachment.
When do the impeachment proceedings start?

Russia
in Cloak Room
The Russian government is an international crime syndicate/intelligence service that also happens to have a country and a military.
This is actually true. An FBI agent said basically the same thing in a 60 Minutes segment on criminal Russian hackers and how Russian intelligence uses them. Hard to tell between the Russian criminals and operatives these days as they are often one in the same.
-
Yeah the IC has put out a full report on it and now the special counsel has said it too. The executive branch just doesn't care because it was for him.
What do you mean the executive branch doesn’t care? The question was about our govt. The investigations into Russian meddling are continuing and hopefully there will be repercussions.
That said, meddling in the foreign elections of others is nothing new. We do it too. See Obama administration meddling in Israel’s elections to stop Netenyahu from being re-elected.
Russia has been meddling in our elections for decades. The just seem to have taken it to a new level this time around. -
Our govt really doesn't even acknowledge that Russia meddled in our election. BananaRepublic.gif
Not true. -

Culver has not impressed in the FF. Hope he can turn it on but so far I don’t see what all the fuss was about. Guy has practically disappeared on the big stage.
Clark Griswold time!
