Jesus would be utterly ashamed at the "Christians" in the United States.

Undoubtedly. Trump is pretty much their new Jesus, though.

 

[Ekai]

We don't know that because he is only 2 hours in to a job but his speech was very promising for hoping ALL Americans unite and prosper. Let's wait until we declare an emergency.

We already know what they plan to gut funding wise. And we know their platform. And we know the laws they want to enact. And we know etc. etc. etc.
Please, don't be so disingenuous. That speech was horrifying and the future looks bleak for everyone that will be targeted.

 

[sasliquid]

I hope this is the bonfire of Americas relevance for the foreseeable future

Wait...what did Obama do to Christians?

Seriously, what?

Oppressed their right to oppress, of course.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

In other words, "Don't show us burning and breaking shit. Stop recording us."

Let's be real here, the news doesn't give a damn about peaceful protest. They'd rather show a stupid garbage fire and the opportunist anarchists would be happy to oblige.

 

[Biske]

Dude looks like a shaved ballsack pulling a face, layered with molting dog fur.

Can only imagine his hair in 4 years... sweet lord.

Can we pass a bill to get him to get a decent haircut?

 

[rec0ded1]

edit nm it switched

Yeah they finally moved away from it

they keep jumping around trying to find some action lol. i guess peaceful protests are boring

 

[Surfinn]

Bets on any stealth protestors breaking the parade line and halting the parade?

That would be awesome.

 

[Diprosalic]

I'll bite. What have Obama and the media done to Christians?

If you say you're christian these days, you get arrested and thrown in jail.

 

[rjinaz]

Quick, think of a single Christian in power in America

Bet you can't

Barack Obama.

Oh damn I lost. No longer in power and he was a Muslim anyway.

 

[TheJLC]

Let's be real here, the news doesn't give a damn about peaceful protest. They'd rather show a stupid garbage fire and the opportunist anarchists would be happy to oblige.

True, true. I wonder how long the line of cameraman got to take pictures of the trash can on fire.

 

[Nafai1123]

So.. maybe 10%? I don't know. I would still say 'small'

Lol, it literally says 40% are FHA nowadays in that quote. That's not small.

That would be awesome.

I would think someone would have had the same idea.

Hahahahaha. Thanks, man. I needed a laugh like that on a day like today.

 

[Lonewulfeus]

You may be delusional. Did President Obama say he was illegitimate? Did the Intelligence Community say he was illegitimate? Did the voting systems get hacked?

No.

If something is found to be worthy of removal, then there are ways and procedures to do handling removing a person from office. At this point, you are calling for violence against the person who you did not want to win. You are being undemocratic.

Pretty sure the way your boy won is undemocratic but fuck it yolo and what not its fine for your team and shit for anyone else right? Not to mention that little provision in the declaration saying we can remove the government and replace it with a new one if it isn't working anymore. Seems the will of a majority of the people being ignored in the last 16 years would be a good definition of broken don't you think?

 

[Bronx-Man]

Fuck Trump.

 

[BahamutPT]

Populism is a staple of every election in Portugal, but not to the extent we've seen in the US - also, we have a political spectrum worthy of that name. There are actually diverging ideas, not just memes, slogans and damning quotes. And we have a Socialist Government, supported by the so-called "radical left". To compare the Portuguese situation to the American one is ridiculous. Fascism is not on the rise in our country, we still remember what that felt like.

But Populism doesn't mean Fascism.

What I mean is Populism is very much a big part of our country, and much more so than in the USA unlike what you're saying.

Just look at how every single time we near a election there are big infrastructure works and investments to appease voters and show that they get things done. Also, if you notice, the far left (which is as far as you can go from Fascism) is usually the biggest proponent of Populism - all those billboards by BE or PCP are mostly populist propaganda.

I do agree that we have a broader political spectrum, but not that we resort to less Populism than the USA

 

[Surfinn]

I would think someone would have had the same idea.

As long as they run out and do it peacefully, I'm all for it. Get like 10 people out there and stop everything in its tracks.

 

[dave is ok]

Lol, it literally says 40% are FHA nowadays in that quote. That's not small.

40% of new loans, up from 3% of new loans in 2006.

It's not saying 40% of total mortgages are FHA

 

[RuinerPrime]

I used to work for a local news station and I would do that all the time

as a photographer for a local news station, I also do this as well.

 

[ZOONAMI]

Yep. Planking protest.

 

[ChrisD]

Undoubtedly. Trump is pretty much their new Jesus, though.

The nutty ones, yeah... Like my whole family sans my sister, who is VERY Christian and basically broke down bawling when Trump won, then was depressed for the next entire week.

I don't understand their Lord and Savior Donald Jesus Trump. I just... don't. What they're seeing, how he will "save" Christianity...

 

[stupei]

I'm a Christian and I just had to chime in that this is a ridiculous statement. Obama and the media have done absolutely nothing to make my life any worse. This ridiculous concept that Christians in this country are somehow persecuted needs to stop.

Some people have a really narrow idea of what qualifies as Christian. They assume everyone who would proclaim themselves Christian must be a conservative and likely Evangelist but honestly some of the most liberal people I know are a group of Christian religious studies majors who consider progressive activism an act of faith.

 

[Dali]

Right. I just find it disturbing. Never do I feel like someone else's rights should be restricted due to my own religious beliefs. I have to believe it all stems back to people using the Christian guise to exhibit their racism and sexism.

That's exactly what it is. They feel theeir rights are being stepped on because they can't refuse gays something just because they are gay. They are using their religion as a scapegoat and acting butthurt because we've been down this road before in a different way and won't allow it to fly again.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

So you have just turned a blind eye to his appointees and shit he has actually said.

I don't think it's possible for these people to argue in good faith. We have a lifetime of information to back up what a disgusting con-man Trump is, combined with many terrible cabinet picks, coming off the most infuriating election season ever. The fact he actually wants to elect extremely conservative Supreme Court justices will be reason enough to fucking riot.

 

[Poltergust]

Funny how this worked out, since Trump is most likely an atheist.

Wasn't there a study done a while back saying that an atheist presidential candidate was the least likely to win? Like, it had a lower chance than being a Muslim or LGBT.

 

[Linkark07]

Jesus would be utterly ashamed at the "Christians" in the United States. around the world.

FTFY.

 

[Soroc]

So does the suspension of reduction of the FHA mortgage insurance premium rates mean that my 3.25% that I qualified for could go up to 10% now?

 

[YuriLowell]

Some people have a really narrow idea of what qualifies as Christian. They assume everyone who would proclaim themselves Christian must be a conservative and likely Evangelist but honestly some of the most liberal people I know are a group of Christian religious studies majors who consider progressive activism an act of faith.

I think it also depends upon your denomination honestly.

 

[Skatterd]

What's that quote again
"When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression"

I personally hate religion, but that is something I can appreciate, want to be closer to Jesus, act like he did!

 

[Plinko]

So does the suspension of reduction of the FHA mortgage insurance premium rates mean that my 3.25% that I qualified for could go up to 10% now?

I don't believe the new rates were going into effect until after the turn of the month, were they?

Some of these folks are real desperate to salute this fake university creating, pussy grabber huh?

 

[rjinaz]

Well to be fair, Christians are now expected to bake cakes and sign marriage certificates. I do kind of see their point. Somebody needs to do something.

But seriously thanks for chiming in with your viewpoint as a Christian. Christians are not persecuted or seeing their rights stripped away in any form.

watching the protest stream side by side with inaugural ball stream with pelosi kissing ass is wow. i understand its a dog and pony show but damn.

The contrast is striking

 

[LiquidSword]

Trump is not an atheist. He follows a sect of Christianity that believes that being wealthy is a sign God Ioves you. One of the woman who led a prayer during the inauguration is a televangelist of this sect. She is very close to Trump. These people have deluded themselves into believing they are wealthy because they were chosen by God.

 

[tfur]

Okay, take SG-17's advice, and start an armed insurrection.

I would suggest before you do, you take a few U.S. civics classes first.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

I can barely buy a decent house at 3.25, if it goes to 10 I don't know how I ever will be.

 

[dave is ok]

No

This only affects the insurance you pay as part of an FHA loan.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Rule: Made in america, Buy in America -- Says the guys that's been doing the exact opposite his entire business life, while stiffing those actually doing the work.

...and you got losers on here celebrating this con man? Have some fucking dignity and stop with the "concern trolling" nonsense.

 

[RedAssedApe]

if someone has figured out how to get to earth 2. lemme know.

 

[JeTmAn81]

Drumpf is not an atheist. He follows a sect of Christianity that believes that being wealthy is a sign God Ioves you. One of the woman who led a prayer during the inauguration is a televangelist of this sect. She is very close to Drumpf. These people have deluded themselves into believing they are wealthy because they were chosen by God.

I have seen nothing in any of his actions or words that marks him as a Christian. He strikes me as a narcissist whose god is himself, regardless of his public professions.

 

[ZOONAMI]

I don't believe the new rates were going into effect until after the turn of the month, were they?

Yeah so I believe the rates are staying the same, instead of getting lower. Still sucks, but it could be worse.

Trump is a Christian in name only.

Give it time.

Pretty sure if you believe in the New Testament that the current GOP would be the 100% opposite of those lessons.

This has nothing to do with mortgage rates, just rates on insurance for FHA

"FHA reduced its annual mortgage insurance fee by 0.25%, but the action was repealed just hours after the Inauguration.
According to housing policy sources, the fee cut was one of the changes made by the previous administration to be put on the chopping block.
The change is an effective quarter-point hike on FHA loans, costing home buyers that use the program an average of $500 their first year of homeownership.
The question remains whether the cut is delayed or repealed completely. The HUD Secretary nominee, Ben Carson, is to review the fee reduction and its potential effect on FHA's balance sheet.
This situation is "wait and see" for now. After Inauguration Day, FHA policy could have a big impact on borrowers."
