And it sounds like they are privatizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, not sure the ramifications of that one.

They would just be putting Fannie and Freddie back the way they were before the Housing Crash. I think Fannie and Freddie have paid back all the money pumped into them during the Crash and have been generating quite a bit of money for the Government above and beyond the amount they 'paid back'. This has been in the cards all along for Fannie and Freddie.
I'm kind of surprise Trump's government would be giving up what looks like a Cash Cow....though. Especially with the deficit growing and growing. I'm wondering WHO this Cash Cow would be benefiting if it goes private again...

I don't really know much about Fannie....Mac so not informed. I just heard it in passing, not sure its a done deal. My husband says I'm to radical about trump, you think? He says I'm likely going to get banned from facebook that I'm just to extreme, I said someone needs to be, he is a worthless...….. See I didn't say it.  |

Hmmm. Maybe we should set up a pool here on who will be fired next... At least he's draining his own swamp. Somewhat. |

I think poor Wilbur Ross might be in thin ice. He's already been caught literally sleeping on the job, and he might have caused embarrassment by threatening to fire someone at NOAA if they didn't post something agreeing that Trump was right about the near catastrophic hurricane that was poised to hit Alabama. Although if they want to fire the person who started that whole Dorian cluster fuck, they need to fire Trump.
Who I WISH they would fire would be Stephen Miller, who would probably whip his cape around, hiss, and turn into a bat if that happened - back to the underworld from which he sprang. Although Betsy DeVos is a close second.
By the way, some talking heads are indicating Bolton was one of the people who talked Trump out of meeting with the Taliban-- Trump may be having second thoughts on that whole two week failure, and if he's got second thoughts, he's got to find someone to blame it on.

Stephen Miller = Roy Cohn incarnate. No chance of being fired. |

Well let's see: of the 13 people not yet gone one is the man on the golden throne himself, and three are family.
He can't fire the VP "the President has no official power over the Vice President (in fact, originally, the VPOTUS was whoever got the second-most electoral votes, so was generally the President's closest rival). Like the President, the VP can be impeached by Congress, die in office, or resign. ..." www.quora.com/Can-the-President-of-the-United-States-fire-the-Vice-President
That leaves only 8 to go and it looks like this game of musical chairs will soon be running out of players

President Donald Trump abruptly announced in a tweet Tuesday that he has asked national security adviser John Bolton to resign, noting that he "strongly disagreed with many" of Bolton's suggestions "as did others in the administration." link John Bolton has clearly and forcefully voiced his world view for a long time. He has not changed his view since he was hired by President Trump. Why was he hired in the first place? |

I find myself spending less and less time on Facebook, so I don't think being banned is much of a threat. I just seem to see ad after ad when I am there. Less and less activity from friends and family.
There is still a good amount of picture sharing, so I would miss it, but I am sure it would be replaced with something else. The young people have already moved on to Snapchat and Instagram to name a few.

Viva La Pere Ubu by Henry Cow
Here is a song for all you Ubists
Fat & loathsome
Rich Unscrupulous
Horrible, ghastly to be with
"Ye Gods! What a bashing!
You'll get what you deserve"
We have ways, Messieurs the Rich
"Hit 'em! Go on hitting 'em!"
Ah, what a delight it will be to
See our sweet friends again
Our dear friends
Smiling, cheerful & well fed
Look! Look at their hats shining
What high rents they're demanding
Come On, Forward March – We can
Do with you, Phynancial Gentlemen
(Strike up the Phynancial song!)
Long Live Pere UBU
Our Great Phynancier
Tang Tang Tang Tang Tang Tang
Tang Tang Tang Ta Tang!

Bolton loves being at war. If he could drop bombs on every country, he would. Especially the mid-east. He would just bomb every country off the map and turn it into an oil filled territory of America.
Trump has stated he wants to pull all the troops out and let the region blow itself up.
I am actually happy that Trump didn't change his mind and go with Bolton's plan. I was wondering how he fit in with this whole Taliban coming to Camp David peace agreement thing that was happening.
