    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!".

        You mean rise up? :D Most Americans are conditioned for the red-blue difference. I spit on all of them. 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. Something I can prove with arguments. You sure you wanna go there? I know I do :D

          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 don't care for left or right. I am member of absolutely no political party, nor do I give any money to them. I don't buy books "written" by politicians. Of any kind. 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.

                  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?

                      You keep playing the victim, I'll keep dancing on the grave of your non-existing arguments. ..and will be teaching everyone how to cut down a pig. People without arguments are believers, whether they be religious or not. You will always find me there to oppose idiocy. You could not even manage ONE argument. You are here to push a political agenda like it were a religion.

                            Neither, and I will oppose your nonsense with everything I am. No quarter will be given to the religious. I will haunt you on this forum for all the time you are here, because idiots should not be given quarter in any form. For every drivel you spout, I will oppose you with arguments. Your kind is to be extinguished. And in time, you will be. There is no alternative for mankind.

                                  Apparently so - most of Europe is slipping back into the fascist frame of mind that is the hallmark of its history. I sure wish those Oceans were wider. So frequently you squeeze in an opportunity to criticize the US/it's citizens. The valid conclusion is that things must be really shit where you are and you love trying to pretend it's worse elsewhere. Who knows - perhaps you'll be even more bitter after you accept that truth. Judging from the tenor of the posts in an early food-fight (with Tonald J. Dump - in the main thread), you appear to fit right in with the various Euro-Goose-Stepper-Wanna-be's.

                                    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?

                                    FDIC is not Freddy Mac. If it were, there would be no problem. But it's not - so there is. Simplified - one is an insurer against bank collapses (for depositors), the other is a financial institution involved in loan-making.[^]

                                      "The loan was issued by Berkadia, a lender co-owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and Jefferies Financial Group Inc., in a deal that’s backed by government-owned Freddie Mac" Hahaha, you are desperate!

                                      That's the problem - the government owned Freddie Mac is owned b the government - and look who's minding the (treasury) store!. Basically, taxpayers are backing an $800M speculative loan. Perhaps you ought to look up the FSLIC fiasco - how taxpayers bailed out the real-estate speculators. Essentially, it lets them gamble and keep the profits - and if they lose - we pay the debt. So - for the Hump-controlled Freddie-Mac to give his son-in-law a huge loan like this is, at the very least, unsavory. And despite what Hump's thrall-supporters think, it's still NOT alright to use one's political office to make a profit. ANYONE else in the executive branch would be fired (by law!) for that practice.

                                        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!".

                                        Why the hell would anyone care if a company that used to be run by Obama's son-in-law got a loan. From a bank. Do you think that means that he can just default and the debt is gone? I mean, do you seriously not know how loans work?

                                          Freddie isnt Trump controlled, it is a government backed lender set up by Clinton to lend money to poor people. If it wants to lend to someone that is there choice, nothing to do with Trump.
