Barney Frank Sucks

[ChrisL]

God, I hated that guy. I'm so glad he's retired now. I found him really embarrassing when he was representing Massachusetts.

Why did you hate him and find him embarrassing?

Evidently the people of Massachusetts didn't hate him and find him embarrassing. They elected him to serve in the House of Representatives in 1981, and reelected him every time he ran afterwards, until he retired in 2013.

I am a people from Massachusetts and I found him embarrassing because he was an embarrassment.

Barney Frank’s Corruption Scandals Caught Up To Him - Judicial Watch

While much of the mainstream media seems to blame conservatives in Congress for driving liberal Democrat Barney Frank—a two-time Judicial Watch Most Wanted Corrupt Politician—out of office, the truth is that a number of corruption scandals have probably caught up with the veteran Massachusetts lawmaker who announced his abrupt retirement this week.

It was not that long ago that Frank assured his constituents that he would definitely run for re-election in 2012, mainly to defend his disastrous financial regulatory overhaul from Republican attempts to repeal it. He also said he needed to continue fighting for “full legal equality for all citizens” and to provide for the “housing needs of low-income people.”

But this week he threw in the towel after more than three decades in Congress, claiming in a statement posted on his House website that he would like to do some writing, though he remains concerned about “right-wing assaults” on his financial reform bill. Two of the nation’s largest newspapers followed up with puff pieces describing Frank as a victim of scorching partisan battles and a politician known for his sharp intellect and intense, rapid-fire delivery.

The reality is that Frank, the powerful chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, has been embroiled in two of the largest financial scandals in recent history. The first is the collapse of government-sponsored Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack, which triggered the nation’s financial crisis. Judicial Watch obtained internal government documents proving that members of Congress, including — and perhaps especially — Frank, were well aware that Fannie and Freddie were in deep trouble due to corruption and incompetence and yet they did nothing to stop it.

Judicial Watch also obtained internal documents from the Treasury Department that prove Frank helped steer $12 million in federal bailout funds to a Boston bank (OneUnited) that eventually got shut down by the government. Frank intervened on behalf of his equally corrupt friend, California Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who held shares in the failing bank that also listed her husband (Sidney Williams) as a board member.

The Treasury documents obtained by Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit suggest Frank personally called former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson regarding a cash infusion from the government’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) for OneUnited Bank. On November 25, 2008, following Frank’s intervention, the Treasury Department awarded $12,063,000 in bailout funds to OneUnited, which is located in Frank’s district.

As if this weren’t bad enough, a mainstream newspaper reporter recently exposed Frank’s unethical relationship with the government-run mortgage giants he supposedly regulated by revealing that he got his live-in companion a job at Fannie Mae while Congress was writing legislation to improve oversight of the lender. Frank actually called up and asked that his companion be hired, according to the report, which also says that Frank aggressively defended Fannie Mae after it hired his live-in partner.

And Trump won with less votes than it took for Romney to lose. I wonder what happened there? Where did the voters go?

Thats a lie. Romney got 61 million, Trump got 63 million. Both dems got 65 million

Try finding the number than regurgitatiing leftwing talking points.

Nothing at all to do with superficial characterizations of left or right.
Looking forward to your link.
Final election count - Trump has fewer votes than Clinton, Romney and... - The Right Scoop

Wait that picks is bullshit, it shows Clinton with a few hundreds thousands, is that up to date?

So did she have millions more or did he get less than romney, its not both.

It seems you believe you are making some kind of point.

I did make it, the bullshit that Trump got less than Romney was fake news promoted by the liberal mainstream media....they are great at providing fake news....just another example of it.

And what exactly would be the point of making a false distinction like that when Trump lost the popular vote anyway? You aren't making any kind of sense.

Delegitimize? Why, did someone ask where Trump was born?

 

[BULLDOG]

Frank was House Banking committee chairperson with oversight responsibility for Fannie Mae during the democrat majority in the 2nd half of Bush's 2nd term. Frank told Americans that Fannie was solvent and doing fine when it was obviously on the verge of collapse. Either Frank was a fool or he set up the Fannie debacle as the biggest October surprise in history. Unfortunately the media never asked him what the hell he was talking about and of course democrats used the collapse for political gain.

I think it's important to remember that the Presidency of Donald Trump is largely a rejection of a globalist economic and political agenda. People don't like the idea of multi national corporations controlling our future. Let's hope Trump means at least part of what he says he means.

So he chose people who represent those multi national corporations for his cabinet. It doesn't look good for the people.

And you see something significantly different with Democrats. Is that right?

Considering that one of his major campaign points was he wouldn't do that, yes.

If you would like the President-Elect to be aware of your concerns I suggest you use Twitter. Seems to be the best way to get his attention on most issues.

Good point, its a term the left came up with to try and discredit new sources with which they disagree, so I mock.them by using the term and ironically listening to the leftwing media you get alot of mis information
