    no in fact they ignored the problems at Fannie and Freddie and fought the Bush Admin's efforts to regulate them

    Trump's respponsible for the virus? haaha

    Nope the recession in 2008 was caused because the Dems refused to listen to Bush's warnings and regulate Fannie and Freddie.....it was expanded to double digit UE because of the failed policies of the Dems and horrible leadership of Obama

    It did thankfully lead to the biggest election landslide in modern history in 2010 which lead to some recovery

    if Trump took the virus more seriously sooner, we would have far fewer deaths and would not have to shut down the whole country.

    he owns that.

    Liberals just LOVE the one-world-order World Health Organization, right?

    t a

    What are you talking about? He was one of the only people in Washkngton that did...millions would be lost had he not acted so quickly and against the wishes of Biden and the Dems and shut down travel to the US for the Chinese.

    The models were projecting up to 2 million had he followed Biden's plan of opening the borders and doing nothing. Now the numbers are looking more like the common flu

    No they did not it was passed within weeks of Obama taking office and it was a total failure. The report HIS economic counsel submitted showed that with the stimulus unemployment would peak at 8% and then rapidly fall.

    Obama's Stimulus Plan: Failing by Its Own Measure
    By Stephen Gandel Tuesday, July 14, 2009

    The $787 billion stimulus plan is turning out to be far less stimulating than its architects expected.

    Back in early January, when Barack Obama was still President-elect, two of his chief economic advisers — leading proponents of a stimulus bill — predicted that the passage of a large economic-aid package would boost the economy and keep the unemployment rate below 8%. It hasn't quite worked out that way. Last month, the jobless rate in the U.S. hit 9.5%, the highest level it has reached since 1983.
    http://content.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1910208,00.html

    And it continued to 10% and stayed over 8% for the next three years.

    Why would we want to try those policies again?

    He said he hoped, and things shift on a daily basis with this virus.

    so no, he was never convicted of murder. thank you.
    nope, incorrect.
    They have exactly nothing to do with each other.
    baseless and unsupportable claim. You can not say what may happen in January 2021 when trump is out of office. Regardless, the senate did not exonerate trump or Clinton, as that isn't what the senate does. They vote to remove from office, or not.

    proven falsehood. As I've shown you, via the congressional voting record, every single bill proposed from 2001-2007 attempting to regulate fanny/freddy was killed by republicans.

    Nope, but he was found responsbile for it, hence why he wasn't fully exonerated, like the President.

    Nope correct

    OKKKKKKKKKK

    hahaha what crime was alleged in the shame impeachment? They can when they say not guilty of anything, and there will be no other consequences for the conduct....like with Trump....unlike with Slick Willie that took a plea

    if they did, they wouldn't have killed every single bill form 2001-2007 which attempted to do so.

    You provided a memo from Barney that show a number of bills proposed by teh GOP, none by the Dems....who buried their heads in the sand and ignored the warnings, calling it a manufactered crisis....then when the fallout happened, they drove up UE to double digits.

    but what has been proven to actually have happened, is republicans killed every single bill attempting to regulate fanny/freddy from 2001-2007.
