To Trump, the wall was never more than an applause line. And now it's failing.

I don’t think Trump has ever cared a bit about immigration or protecting the border. I don’t think he gives a whip about who comes in or where or how or why they enter the country.

The wall, for our narcissist in chief, has never been more than an abstraction, something large and impressive-sounding he could use to get the people who like him excited. I doubt its functionality or purpose has any meaning to him. It simply became a part of his nationalist brand, an idea that was fun to toss around in a crowded auditorium, like a giant beach ball at a concert.

But now that the government is shutdown and Trump’s temper tantrum isn’t swaying Democrats in Congress one bit, that fun, giant bouncing ball of an idea isn’t feeling so fun to our self-serving president.

What Trump needed, in the wake of Democrats winning back the House of Representatives and special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation closing in on him, was a distraction. The focus had to move away from all the people in his inner circle who were flipping or being sentenced to prison time, and he — the Donald — had to grab the spotlight.

So he fell back on the part of his presidential brand he thought he could always count on: The Wall!

But it backfired. It stopped being fun. It required Trump to do a televised speech he didn’t want to do, and now he’ll have to fly down to the border and pretend to care.

He doesn’t care. The wall has never been more than an applause line. And now it’s nothing more than a Trumpian attempt to distract from other things that might make Trump look bad.

It’s not working. It’s just adding to the things making Trump look bad.

You could see it on the president’s face Tuesday night as he squinted at the American people and delivered the divisive, dishonest words that others fed him.

He looked like he knows the con isn’t working. Like he just figured out that the fall guy is him.

This is t's thing, if it gets built he's got nothing. He already passed on $25 bil when attatched to DACA . . . Limbaugh, Miller, Levin and Coulter want an ethnic cleansing not just a wall.

Your Taxes (Once Again) Are Underwriting Bad Mortgage Loans
The Federal Housing Finance Agency doubled down on failure by ratcheting up federal affordable housing mandates for Fannie and Freddie after the 2008 financial crisis.

Bad government policies helped spawn the 2008 financial crisis. Those policies are still in place. One of them is lending money to non-creditworthy people to buy houses. As Bloomberg News reports, government guarantees underpin home loans to people who have already defaulted on their car loans or filed for bankruptcy. When the economy goes south, they will default on their home loans, too (at the taxpayers' expense). Thanks to the federal government’s “most important affordable housing program,” a loan officer gets a “nearly risk-free commission” for making loans that the “government ultimately bears the risk for.” As a result, a lender views a man with bad credit as an enticing prospect even though, as Bloomberg News notes:

His car has been repossessed, something that would likely disqualify him at the Bank of America branch next door.

“Usually a repo that’s like three years old, we’re not really going to sweat that,” he assures the caller. “We’re pretty lenient here.” He steers his prospect to several $400,000 homes with swimming pools. “Have your wife check that out,” he says, referring to a remodeled kitchen with granite countertops. “She’s going to love it.”

Many of Christian’s customers have no savings, poor credit, or low income—sometimes all three. Some are like Joseph Taylor, a corrections officer who saw Christian’s roadside billboard touting zero-down mortgages. Taylor had recently filed for bankruptcy because of his $25,000 in credit card debt. But he just bought his first home for $120,000 with a zero-down loan from Christian’s company. Monthly debt payments now eat up half his take-home pay. “If he can help me, he can help anyone,” Taylor says. “My credit history was just horrible.”

Christian can do this kind of deal because he is, in effect, making the loan on behalf of the federal government through its most important affordable housing program. It’s a sweet deal: He gets his nearly risk-free commission. Taylor puts no money down. If things go south, the government ultimately bears the risk.

Why did the White House staff delete this t-weet?

“Billions of dollars are sent to the State of California for Forrest fires that, with proper Forrest Management, would never happen. Unless they get their act together, which is unlikely, I have ordered FEMA to send no more money. It is a disgraceful situation in lives & money!”

Time to cancel the ‘HOLY S*IT’? NY Times makes MAJOR correction to its reporting on Manafort and Oleg Deripaska

WHOOPS!

The New York Times issued a major correction on its reporting from last night that said Paul Manafort had attempted to pass internal Trump polling data to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, who reportedly has close ties to the Kremlin. The corrected version now says Manafort attempted to pass the data to two Ukrainian oligarchs, Serhiy Lyovochkin and Rinat Akhmetov:
 
Congressman Stephen King confirms that he is an ignorant racist -- “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?”

So instead of Manafort giving internal t documents to a Russian, he was giving the documents to two pro-Russian Ukranians?
