Support NeoGAF

[jfkgoblue]

Of course they are. They've got a friendly administration now that supports suppressing the first amendment.

Cmon man. If you actually pay attention they weren't peacefully protesting, NBC saying that they were vandalizing businesses and throwing things at police.

Happy photos.

President Bush doesn't look pleased at all

 

[Plinko]

There was a reduction in fees for FHA loans passed, this reverses it for anyone buying a home after the 24th. Basically making housing more expensive for FHA backed buyers. Things is, this is mainly lower income segments of the country. You'd have to be a dick for this to be a priority.

Least that's my understanding, maybe someone with more experience in the market for real estate can pop in.

I don't believe income has anything to do with acquiring the loan, though, does it? That's what I've read.

 

[D4Danger]

why focus on Iran and NK anyway, they have missiles to reach the US?

America has military bases everywhere.

 

[Greatest Ever]

Commercials for the new House of Cards season are now airing on Dutch TV 😬

New episode already happened this afternoon, that's what this thread is about.

You can't even keep up. Sad!

That's Dick Cheney. THE Dick Cheney.

My god, it is...

Also, the highest of dignitaries:

 

[Ron Mexico]

To those questioning the FHA news:

Trump overturned a cut in the insurance rate that was set to go into effect on 1/27.

Essentially, things will now be the exact same today as they will 1/27 and beyond, barring any other developments.

So business as usual in this area, for now.

The man with no pulse. Literally.

Yeah, that's my understanding as well. I'm not an expert at all but I did just close on a house earlier this month. I think this is a sign of what is to come.

Thanks for the summary mate.
Sound good actually... here's hoping.

What is up with people just believing every word of these ghostwritten speeches? Look at actions, not words he didn't even write.

 

[djplaeskool]

That "We create the terror." tweet was something else.
Will be interesting for sure.

 

[Uzzy]

So who will become the second person in the WWE Hall of Fame to hold the title of President of the United States?

John Cena.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Side by side, it is even crazier:

edit: since people think this is a narrative, here is a link and time these were taken:

http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politi...ation-vs-obama

Obama's: 11:30 AM ET

Trump's: 11:04 AM ET

And it was colder too lol

That's my understanding as well. I'm not saying I support his actions, but it seems like real-world effects of this are just status quo.

 

[RedAssedApe]

The Rock Obama 2020

 

[smokeymicpot]

Bush embraced being a idiot. When he messed up in situations like these he was like fuck it. The new president not so much.

 

[KingSnake]

You need new enemies to justify dismantling the system that is targeted against Russia.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Doesn't change anything I've said

 

[Stinkles]

Trump is a horrible racist but let us not rewrite history here.

https://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/28/...low-wage-jobs-than-better-paid-ones.html?_r=0

The vast amount of jobs created under Obama were primarily in the service or retail industry. Working shifts at the strip mall hawking cellphones inbetween your second and third jobs at Dunkin Doughnuts and McDonalds just to survive because a living wage is apparently asking for too much isn't the base of a strong economy. It's a crumbling economy.

You can be mad about that and it's a serious issue, but that wasn't what Trump's speech was about.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Trump: "And I shall call this...STAR WARS!"

My exact first thought.

 

[mjc]

Son of a bitch. We've been saving up to buy a house sometime next year as first time home buyers. So now does this means we have to come up with the recommended 20%?

You don't need 20%, but you'll be looking at 5-10% most likely.

 

[Officerrob]

So who will become the second person in the WWE Hall of Fame to hold the title of President of the United States?

The Rock

 

[Vuze]

tomb...stones?

 

[gutshot]

I don't believe income has anything to do with acquiring the loan, though, does it? That's what I've read.

Any one can get an FHA loan, but they require less money down than a Standard loan. So naturally they tend to be used mostly by lower income people.

 

[Pizza con salsiccia]

Nice speech.

Now let's see what happens until the mid-term elections.

 

[dave is ok]

Son of a bitch. We've been saving up to buy a house sometime next year as first time home buyers. So now does this means we have to come up with the recommended 20%?

No.

Shit, this might seriously affect the housing market. With this and the ever-increasing debt load of the average consumer, crash incoming?

No, it won't.

I would also suggest donating to planned parenthood

I give money to ACLU and PP monthly so today I'm sending cash to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

 

[kevin1025]

He has the best words...?

Wherever the gop goes this clown follows

With his show dead, he's looking for a job.

 

[adj_noun]

tomb...stones?

Rock/Undertaker is going to be one hell of a ticket.

 

[DOWN]

So much hate in this thread

More like a mix of disappointment, spectacle, and resilience

 

[marrec]

tomb...stones?

You have to look at it in context, he was referencing The Undertaker's famous finishing move of course.

 

[rekameohs]

Is there a handy one for Obama's first inauguration?

 

[jfkgoblue]

Doesn't change anything I've said

You expect the police to let destroy businesses and commit assault?

 

[Netherscourge]

That's the symbol for distress.

W is thinking outside the box for once.

 

[Oersted]

why focus on Iran and NK anyway, they have missiles to reach the US?

Nope

And especially Iran has no interest whatsoevr to do something like that.

 

[Xater]

I saw some amazing interviews with Trump voters around there on German TV. One dude talked about Trump being the guy who can safe the country and bring it together again. Right next to him was the person he was with holding an anti-gay sign. Kinda undermined his point.

I can get behind this.

Sort of. The discount didn't take effect and was now overturned before it ever came to pass.

Mortgage rates are going to be the bigger issue when it comes to affordability. This is closer to a non-starter. Sucks, of course. But it's going to be such a small drop in the bucket comparatively speaking.

 

[norm9]

tomb...stones?

There's was a portion of the speech about undertaker's wrestlemania streak.

 

[CrossTrigger]

No.


No, it won't.

He is just cancelling the rate drop Obama put through. It hasn't been raised..... yet.....

 

[Plinko]

Makes absolutely ZERO sense why this would be first on the list. Zero.

 

[Lonely1]

What do you expected him to say? Russia?

 

[ICO_SotC]

So did those women's protest groups not make it there?

Or are the media just ignoring them?
