Democrats in a Dem-ruled state set up a *faaabulous* taxpayer-funded grift

If you wanna see how cunning, corrupt, raaaacist lawmakers write totally corrupt laws to favor their voters, read the text of this classic from the dipshit racist moron Democrat "lawmakers' in a liberal state.

This 8-page POS bill is crammed with references to other state laws, which makes it extremely hard to see what the thing is really authorizing.  That's intentional, so skeptical voters can't figure out what this POS is really proposing.

Short answer: it appropriates tax revenue to give favored groups money for downpayment and closing costs to buy a home.  And then it specifies that if the loan has "been outstanding for at least 5 years," the "special-purpose credit program" established by this POS "may fully forgive" the loan.  

Note the cunning, deliberately vague term *"may* fully forgive."  No conditions specified, so if *any* loan is forgiven, all must be.  And note further that the bill (soon to be law, because WA is totally Democrat-ruled) does NOT say "If the borrower/home"owner" has made all payments on the loan..." it "may be forgiven."  Instead it's "if it's been outstanding for 5 years," with no other conditions.

Can anyone predict what will absolutely, certainly happen if this piece of shit passes?

Sure ya can, sparky: cunning grifters will get the cash, get a government-guaranteed loan, make a couple of payments, fight foreclosure for another 4.5 years, then sell and pocket the profit.  The gracious Democrat state will forgive the loan of the downpayment and closing costs.

Let's take a typical home in lush, highly attractive Seattle, say $400,000.  Lenders love borrowers who put down a large downpayment, since it's a sign that they'll make their loan payments every month rather than risk foreclosure (and risk losing their large downpayment!).

This bill allows the proposed "special-purpose credit program" to loan members of their "special protected classes" up to 20% for downpayment and closing costs--meaning that the borrower will have 18% or so to use for downpayment.  Lenders will be thrilled.

But the normal rule of thumb--that borrowers who make such a large downpayment will be good risks--is out the window because the Democrat bill (law) gave the member of the special class the money!

This grift is absolutely guaranteed.

The state's Democrat lawmakers can't be so stupid that they didn't foresee this.  Wait...

Seriously, you should quickly read this 8-page bill to see how utterly, intentionally corrupt it is.

Owner of 6th-largest refinery in California says it's gonna close; leftists cheer

The sixth-largest refinery in California will likely be closed by next April.  

Valero Petroleum's CEO announced that its "Benicia Bay" refinery will be closed due to California’s "tough regulatory and enforcement environment.”  The announcement came six months after state "air quality regulators" fined the company a staggering $82 million for "exceeding emissions standards" for at least 15 years.
 
The refinery contributes almost 20% of the budget of the small town of Benicia (population 27,000).

Of course Valero obviously doesn't wanna walk away from a billion-dollar refinery--and no other company is likely to buy it.  Tough decision, but if they do what they say, California leftists will be delighted.  If the small town's tax revenue falls by 20%, leftists will just shrug.  "We din' want dat nasty refinery dere anyway!"

Remove 9% of the state's gasoline production, and what do ya think that'll do to the price of gasoline in Cali, eh?

Leftists: "Uhh...umm...nuffin?"

Nice try, morons.  Ya might try taking a fucking economics class.  When demand suddenly exceeds supply by nine percent, the price will rise, costing "normal, working Americans" more.  An' yew fucking Democrats bleat that yew care about duh working folks, eh?  No ya don't.  You only care about The Agenda, and if that Agenda hurts working folks, tough shit, eh?  Cuz you don't really give a shit about "working folks."  That's just the Narrative of all leftists, everywhere.

Dems: "If polluting motorists have to pay an extra 40 cents a gallon for gas, it's well worth it!  Dat'll get 'em to buy one of doze faaaabulous EVs, wif' batteries from Chyna!  Cuz we gots TONS of electricity!  An' it's free, and doesn't produce any of dat awful poison CO2!"

I'm trying to decide whether to hate leftists for being so fucking dumb, or pity 'em.

Postscript: San Francisco's utterly leftist, incompetent PBS station (KQED) published this gem: "[The refinery] produces up to 145,000 barrels of crude oil a day, which is about 9% of the state’s production."

No, leftist morons, refineries don't produce ANY crude oil.  But we understand that leftists aren't concerned with such subtle distinctions.  The only thing that matters to you is The Agenda of the utterly corrupt Democrat party.

The new spin by the Media: "We did NOT 'miss' biden's senility! We just didn't tell ya!"

As some of you may have noticed, we're now seeing ALL the members of the Democrat-fellating DC Media falling all over themselves claiming they did NOT "miss the story" of bribem's senility.

"Nope nope nope!  We din' miss nuffin', cuz we iz profeshonnuls  Reel journalists!"

"Reelly!  Yew stupid deplorables just looked at a few dozen heavily-edited videos and believed the right-wing lie dat ouah faaaabulous preznit was incompetent!  An' now conservatives are tellin' yew dat we members of duh press missed that!  Nonsense!  We knew he wuz incompetent jus' like yew did--but we just didn't wanna do any stories about it, cuz...um...it might have encouraged our opponents overseas to do something bad.  Like, invade Ukraine or somethin'."

"So it wuz ouah patriotic duty to tell the world (and American voters) that he was 'sharp as a tack.'  That was the phrase on the Dem talking-points, and we parroted that a thousand times.  And it worked!  See, Putin an' Xi probably don't see the videos on ouah internet, so they couldn't see that Biden wasn't all there.  So we defended the U.S. by telling everyone he was sharp!  SEE??"

"And it worked!  Well, except for Putin invading Ukraine.  But hey, no defense is perfect, right?"

And with that background, let's look at a photo from April 26, 2023.  It's one of bribem's rare press conferences.  That's his hand.  What's he holding?  It's a card saying "Reporter Q&A" and "Question 1" and a pic of the reporter who'd been chosen to ask that question--and the question she'd ask.

 

None of Joe's handlers thought to tell him "Read the script in private, but don't hold it in your hand when you get on the stage, cuz...you know."

The handlers weren't really too concerned cuz even if some member of the audience had a great telephoto lens and got the pic above, no Mainstream Media outlet would publish it, eh?  Cuz dat wud give the game away that bribem was incompetent.

But bribem's Dem handlers couldn't control the Internet, which is where the pic above appeared.  They tried, with bribem's and Garland's and Mayorkas's "Disinformation Governance Board" (which created such a wave of scorn and outrage that the quickly junked it), but they failed.

Now imagine how the Mainstream Media would respond if someone got a pic showing TRUMP holding a cheat card like bribem!  That pic would be on the front page of every paper and on every newscast, with talking heads claiming it proved Trump was incompetent--"Can't handle unscripted questions!!"

Double-standards again.
