This is only about the 100th time you have gone off on an imaginary point, and once more, you think you can read my mind. Xpartan just did the same stupid thing when he read the mind of 75 million Trump voters.
My point was that with all the Red-blue shit going on the bureaucrats are having a heyday writing up their own laws, and what do you morons do? Go right back into a red-blue conflict. Eih even lies and says the Republians had a veto proof majority and that is why Glass-Stegall was repealed which is complete BS. I wonder why you did not correct him on that? Did you not know that?
And the repeal of Glass-Stegall happened under Clinton, and he signed the bill into law. There was no veto. You all lied about that too.
What was so funny is that JustTK does not have a dog in the fight. He is more leftist than anyone of you, and even he cannot stand you dumb Dems. There is no getting to the truth with you. The collapse in 2008 was not just on Republicans or Dems but so many people, and it might be something he would be interested in discussing, but with you guys, it is just that if there were no Republicans, the recession never would have happened.
Everything good is Democrats, and everything bad is Republicans. Of course, neither you or Eih are living here anymore so why do you care so much? The only reason I see is that the government is paying you off and you think if the Republicans come into power, your gravy train may end.
Hey, Viiainy, you genius, you want to tell me where you are invested right now? You all in on Biden too? Or are you totally dependent on the government's cheese?

Therefore, when 90%+ of the House and 90%+ of the Senate voted to repeal and replace Glass-Steagall under those circumstances in late 1999, way way more than the 66% or so necessary to make it impossible for a POTUS to veto it, well, sure enough, that meant it was done "by a veto proof Repub Majority Congress. ".
See how that works?
And I am pleased to see you further confirm how obsolete and ineffectual Glass-Stegall had become well before that 1999 vote in that its violation had not only been upheld by court ruling years prior but that also allowed for the Fed to grant a waiver to Citicorp for "violating" it at least a year before its official repeal and replacement.
Hence, that high percentage of evil Dems and saintly Repubs agreed in the Republican Majority House and Senate of late 1999 that such an obsolete and no longer effective legally or by Fed dictate law ought to be repealed and replaced by something that addresses the realities of the banking world as it existed at that time. And for the most part the ultra evil free and enthusiastic blowjob-accepting Bill Clinton agreed with them.
The only requirement was that, like Glass-Steagall and every other banking regulation law on the books, that replacement's effectiveness would be determined by how diligently a president's Treasury Department monitored and enforced the regulation.
Lo and behold, history shows evil Dem Clinton's Treasury Department monitored and enforced banking regulations extremely well. But for the next 8 years of a saintly Repub Treasury Department, not so much. Spectacularly and disastrously so. What a surprise.

I bet he was holding that note right in front of his face when he told a military widow that her late husband knew the risks.

I guarantee the war would have never started or would have ended under Trump. Bidden for some stupid reason is doing everything in his powers to keep it going and doing nothing to find a solution or compromise between the 2 countries. Again, Bidden is not calling the shots. He has one foot out the door, he will powerless in 4-6 months or sooner. If liberal media is turning on him his days are numbered, thank god. He is destroying this country. Somebody needs to step in before it is too late.

Is Trump the best ever diplomat? Nope.
Is Trump better diplomat than Buyden? Definitely.
Stay on point please.

Lastly, he gets in a fight with oil companies, this is the last thing he should be doing. Find a compromise and a solution, but Democrats want to fight with everyone and blame everyone for their problems.
If you subtract Trump from the polls, I would bet Bidden approval is in the teens now, not the 30's.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- With the U.S. Supreme Court expected to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision before the end of its 2021-2022 term, Americans' confidence in the court has dropped sharply over the past year and reached a new low in Gallup's nearly 50-year trend.

No, the one below was a perfectly reasonable cue card telling a so-called potus how to look and sound somewhat like a normal human being listening to testimonials about the mass murder of children:
Trump was actually caught holding a note from staffers reminding him to be empathetic when talking to people

I found it interesting that Elvis claimed that President Clinton repealled the Glass-Steagall Act. I wonder if they teach Civics where Elvis comes from? Presidents don't pass or repeal laws. When a bill is passed by the Congress the President signs it into law or vetos the bill. In the relevant case, Representatives Leach and Bliley along with Senator Gramm (all Republicans) sponsored the bill which passed both houses of Congress and was signed into law by then President Clinton.
Of course, as you pointed out the Glass Steagall Act even if it had not been largely repealled would have done nothing to prevent the Great Recession of 2008.
