These insurance fees are effectively a tax on middle-class homeownership. By reversing the cut, which was scheduled to go into effect on January 27, one week from today, Trump will be taking more money from FHA homebuyers to keep in government coffers.

...

Based on analysis by Attom Data Solutions, the reversal means an extra $446 million for the MMIF, and concurrently that much less in the pocketbooks of an estimated 1 million homebuyers projected to take out FHA loans in 2017.

You know how this works, Obama's and Hillary's and Mexicans and Muslims and George Soros fault, not the orange ####face.

We'll see what happens over time, but a generation of renewed activism might be the real legacy of this election.

I remember when I used to think Trump running for president was funny.
not so funny now.

I'm assuming, (actually hoping) he'll be impeached before the end of the year.
I figure then Pence will just be a puppet for the republican establishment.

Not sure if you are being serious or sarcastic, but Pence is every bit as radically religious as the Fox and Friends crew point to anyone with brown skin.

He'd burn women at the stake publicly for being witches if he thought he could get away with it. Electroschock therapy for homosexuals is just a stepping stone to his barbarism, all based on his religious beliefs and he's a Christian.

And it's not like the entire history of Christianity is filled with sunshine, rainbows and puppy dogs. Good Christians were lynching Nigg**s from trees for decades in the United States of Radicalized Christians.

I listened as they called my President a Muslim.
I listened as they called him and his family a pack of monkeys.
I listened as they said he wasn't born here.
I watched as they blocked every single path to progress that they could.
I saw the pictures of him as Hitler.
I watched them shut down the government and hurt the entire nation twice.
I watched them turn their backs on every opportunity to open worthwhile dialog.
I watched them say that they would not even listen to any choice for Supreme Court no matter who the nominee was.
I listened as they openly said that they will oppose him at every turn.
I watched as they did just that.
I listened.
I watched.
I paid attention.
Now, I'm being called on to be tolerant.
To move forward.
To denounce protesters.
To "Get over it."
To accept this...
I will not.
I will do my part to make sure this great American mistake becomes the embarrassing footnote of our history that it deserves to be.
I will do this as quickly as possible every chance I get.
I will do my part to limit the damage that this man can do to my country.
I will watch his every move and point out every single mistake and misdeed in a loud and proud voice.
I will let you know in a loud voice every time this man backs away from a promise he made to them.
Them. The people who voted for him.
The ones who sold their souls and prayed for him to win.
I will do this so that they never forget.
And they will hear me.
They will see it in my eyes when I look at them.
They will hear it in my voice when I talk to them.
They will know that I know who they are.
They will know that I know what they are.
Do not call for my tolerance. I've tolerated all I can.
Now it's their turn to tolerate ridicule.
Be aware, make no mistake about it, every single thing that goes wrong in our country from this day
forward is now Trump's fault just as much as they thought it was Obama's.
I find it unreasonable for them to expect from me what they were entirely unwilling to give."

Sadly, my dad is one of the idiots who's bought Drumpf's snake oil by the case load. And he acts just like him to. Can't win an argument based on fact so he just throws up his hand and says he's done with the discussion. Drumpf "won" and that's better than evil Hillary and all her years of being evil and corrupt and whatever Drumpf has said, done or lied about is irrelevant. He's simply not HER and that's all that matters. He even says with a straight face he "doesn't know" what kind of president Drumpf will be, but that Hillary would be worse.

I've never wanted to punch my dad in the face more, and neither of us are American. I did tell him I'm disappointed in myself for believing my father was a smarter man than he really is though.

The bottom line to me is that no matter who won this election we would have woken up today with a deeply divided and angry nation.

there have been a lot of underlying tensions for a long time in the States building like a large fart filled balloon needing one thing to blow it up and stink up the room.

Welcome to Jan 20, 2017, take a deep breath and own the flavor.
