The left and many on the right are so full of hypocrisy. The one thing Americans should be is equal before the law. Somehow with all the waivers and exceptions on the laws that are being passed the very heart of our country is being destroyed.
In my entire life I’ve never seen exemptions to laws issued as they have been during this Administration. Obviously, it is an indication of bad laws like Obamacare and Dodd-Frank! Laws either apply to all or none!!!
This is the definition of “crony capitalism”.
.....................Yet when the bank’s owner, Howard Milstein, who is a close friend and was a bundler for President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign..................
I hate these articles that claim some powerful so-in-so was a close friend of Zer0.
Zer0 was a nobody, a street pimp talking with blacks in Chicago. Nobody knew him until a speech in 2007.
All his “friendships” revolve around cash for him!
I never heard of a “waiver” from the law until this administration.
How exactly do they work? Does Congress enact a separate law pertaining only to the waiver-seeker? Or is the president taking it upon himself to abrogate a law by executive fiat? And how is that legal?
Is it possible there is no process or paper trail? Some company just says, “We want a waiver!” The campaign contributions are tallied up. “Okay, you got it!”
Then they crow to the press that “We’ve got a waiver!” Really? Let’s see this “waiver.” The paperwork. What does a waiver entail? By what right? Etc.
I think everyone just accepts that “Oh, they’ve got a waiver,” and no one forces them to follow the law.
Does anyone know the mechanics of obtaining a “waiver?”
Is this the same Milstein that use to own a percentage of the NY Islanders?
How can the executive branch simply declare that the law applies to some but not others?
