    Could it be that Trump is simply moving the "swamp" to where he has better control of it? This is just one example:

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/samantha-bee-torches-trumps-treasury-165948745.html

    "Unlike most Americans, Mnuchin made a great deal of money from the "great recession of 2008" after founding OneWest Bank (formerly IndyMac Bank) and Financial Freedom, which provided reverse mortgages and allegedly preyed on retired Americans. In fact, the company is being investigated by the government for potentially illegal home foreclosure practices.

    "That's how Mnuchin earned the nickname 'Foreclosure King,' not to be confused with the cheapest bed at the Mattress Warehouse," Bee joked.

    Mnuchin's bank is reportedly responsible for more than one-third of all reverse mortgage foreclosures. Reverse mortgages suspend payments for people over the age of 62 until their death. Their families must then take over the mortgages or the homes are foreclosed. They're referred to as "widow foreclosures" as many of the victims are women who typically outlive their husbands."

    Not only widows, but retirees, and Veterans. Since he violated federal law why was he not prosecuted, and why is Trump nominating another crook to his cabinet?

    http://www.dispatch.com/news/20170119/ohios-brown-to-vote-against-treasury-nominee

    "Brown then asked if OneWest violated federal law "by initiating foreclosures on 54 active-duty military families? Yes or no?"

    Mnuchin acknowledged that "we unfortunately did foreclose on certain people in the military. It was quite unfortunate, it was inappropriate. We responded to those people and made them whole."

    People are protesting Trump because they are brainless easily manipulable children who can be triggered into a frenzy by generic unsubstantiated rhetoric such as "minorities" and "Muslims" and "Russia".

    Go watch some of the on-the-street videos of protesters,they literally have no idea what Trump's platform is - they only know their triggers.

    There's an R in font of his name that means they get use generic triggers like "racist" "sexist "islamaphobe" translgbtwhatever" while trying to convince everybody what deep thinkers they are.

    That is incorrect. People are protesting because he is still king his cabinet with billionaire criminals . They are protesting a man who brags about grabbing women by their (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*). A man who refused to prove he is not a criminal by releasing his taxes like every single person who ever ran for the office. They are protesting because he is a Russian plant.
    They and. Will be protesting every day from now on,get used to it.

    I wonder why the OP cannot tell the difference between protesting and rioting.

    If you honestly believe you are right...why do you hide your face?

    Yes, if a mortgage isn't paid the property is foreclosed. However, most reverse mortgages include the spouse. The except would be if the person had divorced and it a different spouse or had no spouse at the time of the reverse mortgage.

    Democrat politicians, talking heads and many of their groupies ranting that people don't get everything paid for by someone else. Typical.

    They definitely are convincing people to vote for their Democrat candidate next time. :roflol:

    Yes, I do. They would have found some BS in his history to make him "not legitimate", as well. It's probably worse with Trump, because your chosen one got beaten by someone you think is a joke, but it would have happened regardless. Dems thought they had a lock on this election. Their embarrassment turned into unhinged anger.

    It wouldn't matter who was being sworn in.

    If they had an "R" in front of their name the Leftists would be crying "racist" "sexist "islamaphobe" translgbtwhatever".

    Its what Leftists do.

    Its literally the only play in their book.

    Leftists believe, TO THEIR CORE, that if a person doesn't vote their way then they are a racist or a bigot or a denier or a islamatransphobe or whatever baseless identity label they want to hurl.

    The Left has nothing but the identity game, nothing.

    They are protesting, ie rioting, because they are juvenile punks and idiots having no clue what they are protesting and think rioting is cool and fun.

    This is a good thing, though. They are showing what a vote for the Democratic Party actually represents.

    They are rioting not protesting. They are hypocrites , who likely unanimously have had thier own "locker room talks" such as Trump but yet are so filled with thier own hate and bigotry they cannot see straight.

    Heh, if Obama was caught with that same "locker room talk" you guys would be here rambling on about how a "black man" is unfit to be president, and probably spamming the thread with "black on white" rape statistics, and other sorts of garbage.

    Let's be realistic, your average Trump voter doesn't know what his platform is.

    I would literally not do anything close to that.

    Your assumption that the right is inherently racist is exactly the root of your leftist hatred.
