Rep. Maxine Waters (D) is appalled that Wall Street rallied on the election of DonaldTrump. This is the same woman who was investigated by the House Ethics Committee for steering $12 million in federal bailout funds to a failing Massachusetts bank in which she and her board member husband held shares. She has also come under fire for skirting federal elections rules with a shady fundraising gimmick and made hundreds of thousands of dollars by selling her endorsement to other politicians and political causes for as much as $45,000 a pop. She has also made several trips to Cuba to visit her convicted cop-assassin friend, Black Panther Assata Shakur. Who was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted by a jury of the 1979 murder of a New Jersey State Trooper What appalls me is that the low lifes of her district keep electing her and that Pelosi helped her become teh democrats top representative on the Financial Services Committee. If the Dems had any values at all they would send her home The top Democrat on the House Financial Service committee said shes disgusted by Wall Streets record-breaking week following Donald Trumps victory in the presidential race. Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) said Wall Streets boom after Trumps election, reacting to a massive, destabilizing, lawless agenda, was no replacement for broad economic growth. Im appalled that the reaction to Tuesdays election on Wall Street is record highs for bank stocks, said Waters on Tuesday. Short lived increases in the stock market are not the same as real, hard-earned economic growth, and the demise of the regulations Wall Street is cheering are the same regulations that have made our consumers, investors and economy safer and more resilient.
Maxine Waters is the embodiment of "the swap" that Trump refers to. In fact shes not just the swap, shes the rotting waste of decay and fecal matter that has settled on the bottom. This is precisely the type of person who makes government bad and makes the Democratic party nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. Shes a corrupt, anti-American, racist - things the Democrats claim they aren't yet in over 20 years they haven't tried to get rid of her. I have no doubt she is appalled. Appalled by the fact that our economy has managed to survive the reign of Obama. Appalled by the fact that investors and business owners can see the light ahead. Appalled by the fact that President Trump is going to bring growth that Obama tried to halt. Appalled by the fact that as the economy grows stronger fewer people will need to latch themselves to the Democrat handout feed trough; bye bye votes.
The title is completely misleading. It's not the OP's fault but included in the OP is this: So she said she was "appalled by the reaction" not the rally. And why is she appalled? Well, the OP provides the answer to that as well: “Short lived increases in the stock market are not the same as real, hard-earned economic growth, and the demise of the regulations Wall Street is cheering are the same regulations that have made our consumers, investors and economy safer and more resilient.” Which is completely true. Just take a look at the repealing of Glass-Steagall Act and the economic turmoil that ramified from that.
you might take some remedial grammar classes so you understand sentence structure here is what she said in it's entirety “I’m appalled that the reaction to Tuesday’s election on Wall Street is record highs for bank stocks,” said Waters on Tuesday. I underlined the pertinent part
It's tough today for "progressives" They may start curling up in dramatic little balls paying for the SMOD (Sweet Meteor of Death!)
just another glaring sign that Dem politicians are more interested in their political partisanship than the success of the country
That's a fair point, but every time someone criticizes the president's economy, the Dow is one of the answers. I'm all for the argument that growth on paper isn't growth, but this isn't a consistent position for Maxine Waters.
But you're in favor of electing a member of the capitalist elite president! LOL! And I note that you insult voters who've cast their ballots for her, but no doubt cry foul whenever you encounter criticism of the mentality of Trump voters. A bit of a double standard.
waters is a nut bag like most lifelong liberals. Remember years ago when she said it was all white people bringing drugs in the hood? Her and her buddies sheila jackson lee and hank johnson are dumber than a sack of hammers. jackson thought we had a flag on Mars along with thinking Wikipedia was responsible for the email leaks. hank johnson thought Guam might tump over because of to many people on it. These are the people liberals elect. I rest my case.
It's the conservatives that should be appalled. Lower gold and rising stocks tell me that all is well for the entrenched DC establishment scum. No changes. No reduction in The Administrative state. A $1,000,000,000,000.00 trumporkulus for all the lobbyists to feast upon. Y'all were played.
I believe you're right, I fear there will not be enough puppies, play dough or coloring books to go around to the mourners. I will add by stock in Depends.
Democrats are appalled when anyone makes money anywhere. They believe the only economic activities should be the government collecting or redistributing money.
I should take grammar suggestions from someone who doesn't know the difference between "its" and "it's"?
He hasn't mentioned it but Trump may do away with the Federal Reserve Bank as it only has the interests of big money at heart and only interferes with free enterprise.
Yes indeed as the housing and automobile companies headed for the iceberg power by junk bonds and under the Republicans it took a black knight to save not only this nation but the western world by taking charge. An at that he needed to fight the republicans to do so. Welcome back to not having any limits on the banks or financial markets once more under Trump. Footnote Trump love junk bonds look at his use of them in Atlantic city.
if you don't know what a linking verb is then yes you should. There is a huge difference between a making a typo and leaving off half a sentence to try and distort. I write like I speak which is W Va hillbilly and have certainly have no degree in English. However I can still parse a sentence, just like I was taught in 3rd or 4th grade over 50 years ago. Normally on boards I ignore grammar and spelling mistakes but since you butchered the sentence to try and make a false point I felt the need to correct
