Note that this story started with allegations from Jerome Corsi, Alex Jones, and InfoWars -- however, it seems to be snowballing into a genuine story, not just a speculation or rumor.After the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, Obamacare opponents in the House of Representatives shrewdly refused to fund handouts to insurance companies to subsidize health insurance premiums for lower-income individuals. Since the primary purpose of the legislation was to provide subsidized health insurance for struggling Americans, Obamacare was left in a lurch. The executive branch tried everything from deceptive accounting to shell games to move money from one pot of government funds to the Obamacare till. Ultimately, a federal judge stepped in and ruled that the Department of Health and Human Services could not redirect other federal funds to pay for the subsidies. Within weeks, however, the subsidies were miraculously funded, against the will of Congress. Recently revealed documents appear to confirm that the sudden influx of Obamacare funds was money the Obama administration diverted from Fannie and Freddie. As these additional details emerged, respected financial reporters such as Maria Bartiromo of Fox News and the Fox Business Network began lambasting Obama for his dishonest budgetary tactics.Fannie and Freddie have shareholders -- and the shareholders are suing, making the claim, basically, that Obama embezzled them. Update: More background from ZeroHedge, including a bit I'd forgotten -- the House of Representatives sued over this practice in 2014. Tucker Carlson talked about this a couple of nights ago. The discussion begins at 35:50 (near the end of the show). Josh Rosner, managing director of Graham Fischer Management Company (no, I don't know who he is or what that is) calls this "a simple theft." Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Did Obama Illegally Divert Money From Fannie and Freddie Mae to Prop Up Obamacare?
-- Given that the working definition for "illegally," as far as I can tell in today's day and age is something along the lines of "when a Republican or conservative person does something that gives a Democrat or liberal teh sadz that the media can jump on," no, I do not think Obama did this illegally.

It never ends. Now that they are gone, much is coming out. Like the new info on Conservatives being targeted by the IRS. A lot of this stuff we knew, but couldn't prove.

This is one of those things that I thought everyone knew. The shell games with money, Obama diverting funds for one thing to another, all of that. Obama used to brag about how he was smart to do these things and to act, as President, when the Congress wouldn't.
But nobody had any fucking standing to call it illegal or something. Posted by: blaster at April 05, 2017 03:26 PM (0+824) 20

Conduct which looks a whole lot like misappropriation of funds under color of authority is a tradition for Democrats at FF. Franklin Raines. Jamie Gorelick. Tom Donilon. But FF aren't federal agencies per se. They're parastatal. Which opens up a *whole lot* of very interesting questions about law and liability in such situations.

There isn't anybody on the R side of the aisle, EXCEPT for Pres. Trump, who would be willing to go after Barky and his 8 year crime spree.
And given the depth and breadth of Barky's crimes, I wonder if Pres. Trump isn't trying to decide, right now, how to triage this and go after the worst crimes and let the others slide. I knew Barky was a crook and a liar and we would be lucky to get out alive after 8 years of that crowd taking sledgehammers to our republic, but it still takes my breath away.

As soon as y'all understand this the better:
Once upon a time, America had slaves. Even if you did not have ancestors in America at that time, or lived in a state without slavery and personally had nothing to do at all with slavery, if you are white, or something close to white, you are personally responsible for every single act of slavery. To begin to atone for our collective White Sins, White America had to elect a black man. This black man, who represents all Slaves, is above the law. He can do no wrong, and no matter what he does, he cannot be punished, because any wrongdoing he might do will never EVER be more than the collective sins of the White American in regards to slavery. The same holds true for any Black in his Administration. The sooner Whitey understands this the better it will be for everyone. Posted by: shibumi at April 05, 2017 03:46 PM (FkAXz) 140

No government is benign. I always thought ours was the least malignant to be found on earth, that we at least had rule of law that protected most people from being totally effed over by the government. For many years that conviction has been eroding. It's just about completely gone.

Considering the judiciary is minimally 50% leftist, and considering the ignorance and/or brainwashing of perhaps that many in a jury pool, do you really think Obama would ever be convicted let alone indicted?

off topic but noticed at Breitbart:
Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) announced on the Senate floor Wednesday that they will not allow a filibuster of Neil Gorsuch, and will instead vote for the constitutional option to restore a simple-majority vote to confirm Supreme Court nominations, making that outcome now almost certain. [I happened to catch Murkowski on one of the C-Span channels earlier today and it sounded pretty obvious that she would support the nucular option, as Jimmy Carter would call it.] Also, Stacey McCain suggested that Trump with eventually pardon Obama if O really gets caught up in shit, because it would otherwise probably lead to a real mess: -Obama wants to go to court. He can drag out every last bit of punctuation in court, while his thralls tear up the country. -Trump has far more to lose than to gain by actual litigation. What are you raaaaacists actually going to do to Teh One? -By just putting it out there and pardoning Obama, Trump executes irrefutable judgement on Obama.

I don't think that's ever been proven that Zerohedge is some Russian front.
I thought Bloomberg exposed who they were and it wasn't actual Russians from my recollection. Wasn't it former Wall Street traders? 99% of what they do is expose Wall Street and question our economy, areas of foreign policy that have to do with Russian influence is a pretty minor piece I agree the comments sections is a lot of stupidity, but the actual articles are pretty first rate in my opinion. Way better than most political blogs Posted by: Maritime at April 05, 2017 04:10 PM (daolz) Yeah, iirc, the Bloomberg expose revealed that it was former traders, which was obvious, and I think a couple of them were of Russian extract. I don't believe they're a Putin front but I can't remember where I saw that accusation. Posted by: alexthechick - most delicatest flowerest of innocent virtuest at April 05, 2017 04:16 PM (mf5HN) 287

352 Why a movie? Dune seems perfect for an HBO-GoT style miniseries. I know miniseries has been tried before and not done that well, but we have the technology now!
Posted by: joe, living dangerously at April 05, 2017 04:29 PM (KUaJL) ============== I so disagree with this rather strongly (would you expect anything less than a strong emotion from me on a movie subject?). Dune is actually not that long of a novel once you factor in plot and character. It's actually the weird edge details that dominate most of the book. The book is also heavily non-cinematic. I think it's easily possible to make a 2-3 hour movie that captures the basic ideas of the book without just recreating every little memorable moment from the book. We already got the lavishly faithful adaptation with the SciFi miniseries, and it just highlighted the book's uncinematic qualities. Posted by: TheJamesMadison at April 05, 2017 04:31 PM (GBcFH) 363

Posted by: joe, living dangerously at April 05, 2017 04:29 PM (KUaJL) The mini-series was a European production and it showed. It held closer to the book but the sets, costumes, and acting were sub-par. Lynch's Dune had the feel of the book nailed. The problem was the effects were horrible and there were some serious script mistakes. Posted by: WOPR - Nationalist at April 05, 2017 04:32 PM (J70i0) 364

Posted by: WOPR - Nationalist at April 05, 2017 04:32 PM (J70i0) ============== I have a post about movie adaptations in the pipeline that deals with Dune directly, but here's a preview: David Lynch tried to replicate every memorable moment from that book in movie form, overloading it with so much that it's nearly impossible to actually get into the movie. No one has approached that adaptation cinematically yet, and I think the Denis might be the guy to do it.

I thought the Lynch Dune was *fine* as a movie (could have been better, sure), but most thought it was way too much movie and not enough Dune.
The miniseries was IMHO a train wreck, and was way too much Dune (and high school play) and not enough miniseries. I'm not even sure it needs to be rebooted at this point. It's not like there aren't a brazillion new (or old) ideas waiting to be done. How about we have some new movies *not* based on old movies for a change?

It had a few colossally stupid bits (like the "let's run through glass in slowmo like Blade Runner" scene), but, better cut and slightly better cast and it would have been fine. This is what happens when you're not making a movie to make a movie but to honor a cult. Hey, it was better than North Korean TV, anyway.
