I don't fucking care what you think the politics of servicemembers are: you need to now HAMMER HOME that Democrats tried to pay the military and Republicans said fuck them kids.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes.

Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

I love America, and it is that love of the nation that most fuels my hatred for Mike Johnson and Donald Trump.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

I have decided, apropos of nothing, that I must absolutely go see Ice Nine Kills the next time they come through the Boston/Worcester area.

Also super cool to use "mandate of heaven" as a goal here. Kind of telling, really.

my focus is commercial loans rather than residential.

It does. I just got to that point in a separate post, before I saw your comment here.

This isn't really about what the bank wants as much as about what Fannie Mae wants as standard in loans they back.

I also should note here that I'm also not an expert. I'm a banking compliance officer, but

Also notably, the rider states that the primary purpose should be owner-occupied for a year.

The complaint does not appear (I may have missed it!) to provide a date for when she allegedly rented the property out, but if it was any time after August 17, 2021....

CalmKitty @calmkitty.bsky.social · 3h

Assuming here that the rider mentioned in the complaint is the standard Second Home Rider required by Fannie Mae (screenshot below), this gets extra weird because the rider explicitly allows short-term rentals (and doesn't define "short-term").

Rape is intimate, it's true. It's weird that you support it.

My "real opposition" to Bernie Sanders is that he took money from the NRA; that he has repeatedly made racist claims that white gun owners in Vermont are "different from" urban (black) gun owners and better; that he continues to allow you idiots to think a photo of someone who looks like him being

I don't have a racist symbol next to my name, so I'm doing pretty well.

"Has Bernie Sanders transferred funds to other candidates?"

"HOW DO YOU THINK HE FUNDED HIS VANITY TOUR THROUGHOUT THE NATION WHERE HE TOLD PEOPLE TO LEAVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, SHITLIB!?"

CalmKitty @calmkitty.bsky.social · 16h

My suspicion is Bernie has transferred funds.
