It's not "completely obvious"

They lost because they don't have any propaganda channels.

And they still don't.

The age of this photo would indicate that you are involved in propaganda. You should try and make it less obvious.

He leaves the pocket within a set time in his head regardless of pressure. Usually the pocket is just fine and often he leaves it to run INTO the pressure. He's maddening to watch.

The inclusion of data on "Non-Maga Republicans" should render this a non-starter as completely flawed. How do they not know there is no such thing? Anyone claiming to be that is simply lying.

They could eliminate the LLPA's, roll the G fee back to 2022 levels and start a Treasury MBS buying program. Those would be a lot more impactful than "reducing closing costs" 😅 They won't do that though because it would reduce Fannie/Freddie profits that they are fixin' to loot soon.

Also prior to 2022 the mortgage rates for second homes was the same as a primary residence with 10% down. This was changed in 2022 and they now are the same (higher) as a investment property.

Also the motivations alleged "to get a better rate" are inaccurate here. Prior to 2022 as long as you were putting down 10% the rate for primary residence and second home were the same. So there would be no reason to misrepresent. In Jan 22 FHFA added hits to 2nd homes that would increase the rates

FHFA to Impose Hefty Upfront Fees on Second Home Purchases In a move strongly opposed by NAHB, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) today announced increases for upfront fees that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will charge for second home mortgage loans and ...

I'm sure you know this but just to make sure prior to 2022 there was no rate difference with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on a second home as opposed to a primary residence. As long as the borrower was putting at least 10% down the rates would have been the same

Yea, it was better when there were barriers of entry into the profession. Now it's filled with randoms spouting off. I don't understand why I'm supposed to care what these idiots have to say. The weirdest thing is most of them are extremely inarticulate and just an absolute pain to listen to.

They don't. Their biggest interest is being considered atop the racial hierarchy, all other issues are secondary to them. They want to feel the most important more than anything else.

He's scared of Trump. They all are. Even the ones that like him (most of them)

As head of the FHFA there are things he could do to lower mortgage rates (drop the LLPA's, encourage Treasury to buy MBS) but evidently he is too unqualified to know this so he hollers at Powell on Twitter🤷‍♂️

Currently we have a government that promotes Crypto instead of housing!

I don't think pulling out an opinion piece from 8 years ago really bolsters your case. It's pretty pathetic honestly.

Crazy that these Dems still don't realize that Crypto is the tip of the spear and the wedge for the silicon valley reactionaries usurpment of our government.

Instead they are GOING TO HELP THEM DO IT!

10 years in and there still is nothing really interesting about these people. They are, and always have been, what they seem. Stop wasting ink on them.

Biden's actual original sin was bailing out Silicon Valley Bank.

Kevin Roose fell for every crypto hype cycle there was, including NFT's! -

So I guess it's no surprise that he has pivoted to AI being the basis of all judgments. He's a shill.

"(equivalent to "these CDOs are actually worthless" in 2008)"

That could be "this 2 trillion in crypto magic beans are not actually backed by anything?" this time. Other unrealized loses could stress banks and start that reckoning I suppose.

lol it still confounds me daily. Will never understand til my dying day!

Seems inconsistent to cut $9 billion in government services to people and then turn around and establish a $20 billion Crypto Bro bailout. Is this what the voters wanted?

You don't have to couch your DOGE criticisms with "I'm all for reduced spending but..." or other such qualifiers. Your are just giving it legitimacy they have not earned. It has nothing to do with that.
