Obviously this is a complex issue and overall I tend to agree that addressing this on a federal level through an EO is a too blunt of an instrument to address it. I fully agree that this should have gone through Congress and it was an another example of Obama using EO to get around Congress. All of that said the mechanism of the AFFH is through HUD funding and in this case as like using Federal highway funds to compel states to institute a 21 year drinking age is a well established practice. Heck Trump is just now using that same principle to threaten school districts to reopen, which is a local issue, by threatening to withhold Federal education funding. On whether this fits the FHA there is nothing in the FHA that states whether addressing income disparity is allowed and how that is done. According to the commentary of the some of the authors of the bill the FHA certainly does intend to address economic disparity so this is within the spirit of the Act while the letter is essentially neutral on it.
The Barstool interview reminds me of the Jimmy Fallon interview but even this time he couldn’t help but slip up that he’s now a fascist wannabe autocrat. Just couldn’t talk sports and celebrity nonsense. Had to squeeze in a rant about how he’s solving Democratic criticism by sending brown shirts into Democratic cities for the purpose of intimidation. Barstool sports should do well now... @dascuda @bigtexx @Commodore what would you guys says if Obama said in an interview in 2012 that he’s just so bothered by FoxNews and the Republicans that he’s sending unmarked federal militias to NASCAR pre race campgrounds to take care of the problem?? That would be totally fine right?
Let’s hear that one. This should be good. Oh you don’t have it because it’s a lie? Cool. You choose truth over facts?
