Part Two Of The Fraudclosure Hearing (This Time Featuring Maxine Waters) Live And In Progress

Tyler Durden's picture




Tuesday's senatorial farce hearing in which fraudclosure was brushed under the rug under the vigilant stare of one Chriss Dodd is being repeated today, this time in Congress, titled: "Robo-Signing, Chain of Title, Loss Mitigation and Other Issues in Mortgage Servicing." Those wishing to waste some time may do so at the following link. As Maxine Waters is present, the farce will be complete.

The list of attendees is as follows. Most interesting will likely be Adam Levitin's presentation due to his previous incendiary commentary (i.e., truth) on the matter of fraudclosure.

Maxine Waters who still thinks astronauts landed on Mars and slipped up and admitted she wants to socialize everything.

Yep, the same Shelia Jackson that commended the two Vietnam's for setting an example of how the world can live together in peace.  She got 70% of the vote in 2010. [Insert derogatory comment about Houston voters here]

If I ever momentarily get the delusion that government is even very slightly competent, all I need do is listen to Maxine Waters vomit random words out of her wrinkled petulant mouth for 30 seconds to remind me we are totally fucked.

I wonder if they ever thought about interviewing anyone who does not have a vested interest in mainatining their position and the status quo ...

... who out of any of those people listed above will actualy tell the truth? They did not get to their positions of so called "importance" by telling the truth.

Maybe there should be a rule for these hearings, administered by a someone without a vested interest, that anyone caught in a lie, either a member of the committee or one of the circus invitees, will be executed on the spot. It is a reality show that the people could get into ... ratings would skyrocket!

ROFL you forgot the biggest douchebag of them all.  Fascist Arnie.

 

Besides, if you THINK, any state is better than california, then the TBTF are holding perfect subprime loans for you.

No state is ANY LESS whacky, than California.

If anything, without Arnie, it went up.  Meanwhile everywhere else, went down.  Rick 'fascist' Perry in Texas?  That's whackier than california has ever done.  Hell Rick Perry is 100x worse than all the lefties from California combined.  Whose worse than that? Rand 'fascist, I love corporations' Paul of course.

Besides, Maxine Waters, while being a bit stupid, generally has a good heart, unlike 99 percent of her colleages (left and right).

She's also being railroaded like Charlie Rangel.  If you like her or not, that's another issue.  But SHE and RANGEL ARE being railroaded.  Once their gone, who's next to be railroaded?

Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer might not be perfect, and in fact stupid in many cases, but he (they) was a helluva lot better than Carly 'outsource and retarded decision maker' Fiorina, and she was the better of the two dipshit, rich, fail upwards republicans running for a California elected office.  You had shit and shittier.  California went with shit.  The rest of the country, went with fascist shittier.  Anybody expecting change from the right, is dumber than a Maxine Waters by ten fold.  The only change is going to be from paying for what's needed, to fascist neglect of the people, all while more bailouts and corporate power grow.  Once people figure out dipshit Rand Paul, the tea 'nuts and cum on your face and all the way up your nose' party are going to freak out.  You mean, Rand Paul is worse than what I was previously electing?  Yep, by about 100x.  Austrian School of Economics, just as flaky as Keynes, much more conducive to genocide. 

Another farce hearing for something that should already be decided.  Banks or note holders without notes = fail.  Derivatives on top of them = worthless

I junked you because overall he is right.  The Democrats elected in this turn (Boxer, Brown) suck but they were better than the alternatives.  I have no doubt that the first major "problem" Carly would've tackled was the shortage of H1Bs.  Deliberately put half of never-unionized Silicon Valley out of work and then howl about unions killing America.  Likewise eBay was a sterling example of a real free market until Meg Whitless "managed" it into an overly-restrictive big-brother anti-individualist wasteland.

1- Can someone post the link to Turd Ferguson's blog, I just started visiting ZH a few days before he came out with it and have lost the address.

2- There was a post mentioning the US mints 5oz coins - their site says they come out on 19 Nov.  Will this item be popular with the people here?

3- Can someone succinctly explain wtf is going on with silver?  Is buying the US mint's release tomm my best bet for a 1k purchase?

I just started investing on nov 2, watched the fed throw out that QE II, watched the market every day since then.  99% of it is indecipherable to me, though the surprise margin raises and POMO injections seem to have a common sense effect on the market.

Thank you

For Congress to show their sheople constituents that they care of course. Esp. the ones that are pulled from the meetings and tasered in the hallway, if they speak out during the "investigation" (a.k.a. banker blowjob).

 

BTW, Who were you referring to when you said "we"?  "Why do WE question the banks..."  ???  

Didn't you really want to ask:  "Why do THEY, the ones re-elected with banker campaign funds, question the banks, when THEY know the banks won't incriminate themselves ?"

"Foreclosures are a last resort."   "Foreclosures are a last resort."   "Foreclosures are a last resort."  "Foreclosures are a last resort."

The first four of this second panel all gave this line.  Obvious much?

This is pathetic.  I expected these people to cover their own asses, but this is pathetic.  "Relocate with dignity."  This situation should not involve catch phrases, and the panel keeps giving them. 

Quoting Pandit the Bandit is not going to help......

Pass the buck, hot potato, hot potato....not citi's problem, not mers' problem- "Mers does not decide when to foreclose", 'this is JUST sooo UNFORTUNATE, HOW UNFORTUNATE.'

The mers guy took no responsibility (per mers) and said they had already taken appropriate action.  He said, "Mers is a tool."  Who is a tool?

Maxine Waters would like to ask a few questions?  Wrist slapping time!

Ah!  The notes are kept in warehouses, guarded.  She forgot to mention they are guarded by zombie vampires.  She has it on good authority that these zombie vampires are very courtious.

Oh, and the next guy says it is the owners fault.  "Dog ate it."  Once again, a catch phrase, a sarcastic choice of words to deal with a most important problem.  And not once has it been mentioned by the panel that the zombie vampires perpetuated this broken system.
