    Did you read the article, or just the headline? It's a loan from a business that uses Freddie Mac as a guarantor. I mean, the alternative for them would be like you or I trying to find a bank in the US that isn't covered by the FDIC to get a loan... Can you be mad about the stuff you're actually mad about, or is your hatred so shallow that you need to make stuff up?

      The Putin-narrative is a joke. As is American democracy. It takes an educated populace to have a democracy.

        Good, less and less Europeans voting for it, and the anti-EU parties are getting more votes from those who do show up. The EU is the best thing that could have happened; it will leave a mark that will last as long as the last war. The EU is the best advertising against itself since it was born :thumbsup: We are not the United States that the US are, nor will we ever be.

          It is, but just an intellectual one, and there's no laws or forumrules against that. If you don't want your ideas challenged, keep them to yourself. Anything you say is fair game, as should be. You got a problem with that, sweety? :)

              Perfect answer - as inept at the written word as your idol. And as repetitive. Now, it's time to put away your box of crayons and take your nap.

                I got scolded the other day by an admin for a mild attack on someone. And that was not even direct. Personally, I don't care. They are just words. Insults don't touch me, even coming from a Nazi like you.

                  You don't know what a nazi is, but I do hope you'll get first-hand experience someday. Seriously, I hope sincerely you do. If your family dies, maybe you'd have some respect for the fear of nazi's instead of using it to win a forum-argument. Now get the fuck of my internet.

                        I always get upset when talking to someone who appear to be lobotomized. It is as bad as being religious, and you no different.

                            Just imagine Obama had a son-in-law and he got a loan guarantee of 800 M$. You would have seen conservatives tearing their shirts while yelling "Corruption!".

All of them are Americans, all of them make better bacon and pizza than I do, but somehow they fall for the red-blue divide. No respect for those binary "thinkers". Your intelligence is non-existent.

                                In fact, I am not leftist, nor rightist. More center. Maybe leaning a little on the left, but not that much. If you think otherwise of me, you are a binary "thinker".

I am critical of every politician, as most of them, regardless of what "side" they, and never trust them. At the last Canadian election, I scrapped my vote, effectively voting for no one (you may ask why I bother going to the voting booth, I don't want someone else to use my vote). At the last Québec provincial elections, I voted for the right. Yes, you read it well, I voted for the right. So, you still think I am a binary thinker? One more point: it is not because I don't agree with you that I am an idiot. It would be nice now if we could put aside insults and talk like reasonable adults.

                                    You really understand nothing. Because I am critical of Trump I am biased. I don't like him, he is an imbecile and a liar. Not because he represents the right.

                                      Exactly. You are blinded by hate, and have the intellect of the average pig. You should be reminded of that every turn. I have no problem with people being critical, I recommend it actually; as Socrates said, doubt everything. You OTOH aren't doubting everything, and are a thorn in my eyes. Get off my internet.

                                        Just imagine Obama had a son-in-law and he got a loan guarantee of 800 M$. You would have seen conservatives tearing their shirts while yelling "Corruption!".

                                        Yes, from political conviction, same level as religion, same stupidity. Doesn't mean he is not worth that. Every company has the freedom to give loans, given a free market. Jealous much?

                                          The insults keep on coming. You have nothing else to say.
