Can you believe Federal Savings Bank's CEO forced through a $16 million loan for Paul "Money Laundering" Manafort all because the CEO wanted to be in Trump's swamp cabinet? How many small businesses could have benefitted from those funds?

1. Get thee to the greatest page

NOW!

Maxine is the best.

2. Go Auntie Maxine!

From what I understand, Federal Savings Bank's usual customer base is military and ex-military. That's part of the reason why these loans were so strange. But since the CEO wanted to be Secretary of the Army, I guess it's all good.

3. $16 million bribe

let's say that is 160 small business loans of $100,000 each.

5. Well this helps to explain

some of the appointments - jobs for money.

[NewJeffCT]

6. I think almost everybody

in the toxic trump swamp cabinet had something to offer him in terms of either money and/or favorable business dealings

[malaise]

7. Grifters on steroids

This is madness

[NewJeffCT]

8. I really hope we can at least get the House back

into the hands of the good guys. I would imagine every cabinet appointee had been up to some really dirty shit.

9. It's looking good

Please, please!

16. Rachel is discussing this now n/t

4. Cutting through the bullshit like a fine honed knife.

[Trust Buster]

10. Sorry, it as as inappropriate for a member of Congress to publicly comment on an ongoing trial

As it is for Don the Con to do the same. Attack me if you like but, that is the honest truth.

12. Couldn't disagree more. Have you seen dt's twitter feed?

I guess we should all just shut up and let the rwnjs cross every line imaginable on their way to destroying our country? Lets all just shut up and play by the "rules" so we can keep losing eh?

[Trust Buster]

13. It is up to a jury of his piers to decide. And I was not referring to "we". Waters is a member of

Our Legislative Branch and not a member of our Judicial Branch. It is that simple.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

14. I think she can say whatever she wants. They do, and things haven't gotten better at all.

Matter of fact we are two years into a daily miasma of awfulness that makes life itself extra hard to get through when it doesn't have to be that way...at all. They cheated...mueller is dragging his feet until after the election, and YEARS of our lives are being upended and destroyed. Setting new standards for low, the christian touting gop.

19. The jury is going to tell him to take a long walk off a short pier

[LS_Editor]

15. She's not rendering a verdict. She's commenting on a fact in the case.

[Trust Buster]

17. It is an ongoing case within our Judicial Branch and not the Legislative Branch.

This isn’t even debatable IMO.

[LS_Editor]

20. Yet here we are debating it.

[Trust Buster]

23. The issue was a member of Congress commenting on the trial and not us.

[bitterross]

26. You know, you are actually correct.

As much as I loathe Trump and his whole sordid band of miscreants it is inappropriate for a congressperson to comment. I think we'd be pretty pissed off here if a Republican congressperson commented on something like this if it involved a Democratic President.

That said, I'm still enjoying it.

[NBachers]

11. Go Auntie Maxine - I support you!

[ProudLib72]

18. Has anyone bothered to look at the posts in that thread?

Good grief, Auntie Maxine needs SS protection 24/7. The wackos are out to get her!

[AdamGG]

21. It's the misogyny/racism combo pack

The far right usually gets most exorcised about women like Hillary & Elizabeth Warren. Barney Frank used to be at the top of their list for being gay.

[Nitram]

22. Where is the outrage on the right?

[lambchopp59]

27. towards Maxine, to be sure, from idiots and terrorist reapers of innocents.

No fact based outrage, just "triggered" MAH-GAHH's"
and if that isn't enough, how about this... (couldn't get this to post directly)

Still not mad, MAGA hat goons? Then have a dose of this: (adult content) F Frump!

Now, while "truth isn't truth"... while they call us "triggered"

24. I wonder how many small businesses applied for a loan

From that institution, a loan that would have otherwise been approved, and were told “sorry, we’re out of money to lend, try back in a few months”.

25. Thank God we have a bold representative. Rep Waters speaks the frank truth (again). nt
