I'm recalling the thing in Wizard of Id where Blanche, the wizard's wife says "It's a sin to waste food" and the wizard replies "The sin was committed before it got to me..."
A more realistic adage related to food says that if there is ever any sort of a question about food, toss it; no meal is worth major stomach grief. In the case of Steve Mnuchin, the take I'm getting is that there are too many question marks in the picture and at least a couple of them are too big; in my view, the guy's nomination should be rejected, preferably in committee.
The guy appears to be a vulture-funder who was put into the vulture business by George Soros and who has looked too much like a sociopath while doing his vulture thing. For that reason, the nation's largest nurses' organization is calling for rejecting his nomination. I get that's a leftist source, I don't think that really matters, the nurses are claiming they spend too much time cleaning up after damage brought about by Mnuchin and people like him.
It doesn't seem possible to tell where the guy stands on the critical issue of reinstating the Glass/Steagall law; some articles indicate he favors it, some indicate he opposes it. That usually indicates a guy talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time.
And, basically, the guy's entire life seems to be too much bound up with democrats, libtards, and George Soros. There are too many problems in this picture, the guy's nomination should be rejected on general principles and common sense.
Well, for some reason, President Trump wants to hire him. That’s more than good enough for me at this point.
This should be in general chat noob.
Trump should get the cabinet he wants
A belated one year happy anniversary!
That having been said, YOU really don't know the man, you really don't know everything about him, but Trump does and he picked him.
DOn’t know how to break it to ya, but your opinion isn’t News. And it isn’t worth much either.
You ain’t the decider. So what’s the point of questioning when you have no input or control. I trust Trump.
LOL
6 replies and not one substantive point made for or against Mnuchin. FR is far from what it once was.
Back in the day, WE always made fun of such stupid, worthless vanities and the morons who posted then to NEWS. So get with the program. :-)
What is it with people who have nothing else in their life, but to sound so superior, and do the very thing they are feel a need to 'itch' about from a keyboard.
Shirley, you cannot call your words a 'substantive point'?
To include some substance: Mnuchin wants to cut corporate taxes, targets 3-4% GDP growth, and was Trump's national campaign finance chairman... and most of the attacks in his hearings were about his personal finances and how his mean bank foreclosed on nice people sometimes, and they dragged out victims to tell their sad stories about their foreclosures form his bank.
Look up my signup date again, bozo.
I and most others on this site know all of that.
Nobody posted it, because the prat who started this thread is a TROLL. The Viking Kitties play with trolls, before the lighting hits.

I was trying to post this item to “activism”, as in, call your us senator and tell him to take a hard look at this one. The connections to George Soros bother me and the ambiguity over the Glass/Steagall law bothers me. Mnuchin is the only thing DT has done so far which bothers me; clearly I’ll take that over what we’ve just gone through over the past eight years.
From his profile:
“ganeemead hasn’t created an about page.”
All you need to know about this “poster.” Most likely just a liberal troll. I’d venture a guess that what he’s/she’s/it’s about is subterfuge and obfuscation.
I’m for Mnuchin because he knows every trick in the book, under the book, above the book, next to the book, halfway across the room from the book... and it’s time he put that knowledge to work on behalf of Americans.
Put it in general chat
I am a proud always-Trump’er. Have been team Trump since the beginning. I jump for joy every day with all of his promises being kept.
However I wince a bit at Mnuchin.
Back in 2006 my husband and I bought a piece of land on a lovely island off the Carolina coast to build on in our retirement years. We made some improvements, i.e bush-hogged, had a well put in. We had a small mortgage on the land which we paid early every month, always paying double the amount due.
Along about 2009, our mortgage was sold to IndieWest and then all of a sudden they called our loan in, told us that it needed to be paid in full or we would lose the land. We chalked it up to the crappy economy, said “Thanks Obama” and decided to let the bank take it because we could not come up with the payment in full (roughly $35k). We’re not bitter, we ended up moving to a beautiful city in a red state and we are blessed beyond imagination — even more now with DJT at the helm!
But it is a cautionary tale that does leave a bit of a question mark about Mr. Mnuchin.
Did you watch his testimony? If you did you would know his answer, under oath.
If you don't believe him, that is your option.
I always wonder about relative noobies writing vanity posts in the 'Article' section with an anti-Trump slant.
This guy is Trump's pick, not yours. BTW, who do you want?
Ellen Brown would do nicely.

This could easily be a setup of some sort. With the forces already arrayed against Donald Trump, all it would take would be one poisoned apple or one poison pill like this and the whole thing which we've been seeing for the last week could be derailed.
This nomination should be rejected and we only have one day to get the word out to senate offices.
