How do we commit mortgage fraud?

The orange peel can tell you…he was convicted

That Mcardle is still writing opinions for WaPo, and chose to write thus, is pretty convincung evidence Lisa Cook did nothing wrong.

My mind went to Andrea McArdle and the fact that I still cannot listen to that song. Wrong McArdle and wrong person for this op ed.

lol Bezos

especially knowing this

Has Megan ever heard of Jeffrey Epstein? She seems concerned about people coming clean.

Anyone who claims any kind of crime is inevitable has either committed that crime or knows someone who has. It's not even a "tell"--it's a freaking billboard by the side of the highway.

A convicted felon is riffling through this woman’s personal business and that’s her take???? Gtfo with these people!!!

What the 🤬!

Release the Epstein files.

Is it considered mortgage fraud to routinely list a 10,000 sq ft apartment as 30,000 sq ft - multiple times on documents related to loan verifications, lending validations, insurance filings?

It gets worse

if there ever was a very specific job that could totally be taken over by ai, it’s her column

Tell that to Ken Paxton, who claimed 3 separate residences as his personal main home… or to Donald Trump who was convicted of fraud and 34 felonies… #WashingtonPostSucksRumpT

WSJ always willing to carry water for Trump. Then surprised pikachu face when Trump does even worse things.

The question is still how did the government learn of this alleged mortgage fraud?

William J Pulte is a MAGA influencer who was rewarded for his loyalty by being made head of FHFA - His mortgage fraud investigations have focused on prominent Democrats, including Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, Senator Adam Schiff, and New York Attorney General Letitia James. He‘s hunting Dems

Trump, who over-valued his properties so he could get bank loans and under-valued them for the IRS has the audacity to accuse anyone of mortgage fraud. He also attested that his Trump Tower apt. was much bigger than it was. HE is the Mortgage Fraud King!

She is still batshit crazy.

I assume she thinks of CONVICTED FELON when talking about mortgage frauds

1. Rando maga crony makes UNFOUNDED accusations. 2 Oligarch mouthpiece newspaper pretending to still be an independent news source of facts immediately jumps in to Lie, lie, lie about it, pretend that it’s at all true and demand a confession… 3 Not news, just scumbag propaganda from corrupt MAGA

We are in the Soviet show trial stage of the coup. Accusations by the State equal convictions without evidence. 86 MAGA - every last one

Thats exactly what happens,unfounded rumor,then fox misinformation fake news runs with it on a loop.

And the ugly ones lap it up like dogs.

I cancelled prime and don’t buy from $amzn. Less junk, save more money, eff you to Bezos. All wins.

She also tore the tag off her mattress Fuck off

HAHAHAHAHA Now I am less pissed, thank you

Accusations are NOT indictments and considering the source of said accusation, the media's really shitting the bed here. Just fu*king ridiculous considering everything else going on.

Hey Megan, now do Paxton bsky.app/profile/marc...

Let’s just call it what it is: McArdle is a collaborator.

If we're investigating mortgage fraud, I'll need to have Trump answer a few questions about those Deutsche Bank loans.

I want those answers either way.

Trump is in the Epstien files

Some child sex trafficking is inevitable. But Donald Trump needs to come clean.

To be a credible opinionator, along with Cook, Trump's fraud conviction for doing even worse, even if the monetary penalty was reduced, should've been a leading paragraph.

SEE KEN PAXTON

Mortgage fraud is INEVITABLE? Someone needs to open an investigation of Nutmeg McArglebargle, stat! @youranoncentral.bsky.social Anonymous, if you're listening... 🤣

How about Trump's mortgage fraud? They don't want to talk about that. I wonder why.

trump’s accountant took 6 months in jail rather than explain the fraud on trumps IRS returns. And trumps out on bail right now. Give it a damn rest.💙

And Trump, @mcmegan.bsky.social? Does *he* need to come clean? @jd-vance-1.bsky.social, by implication regarding his comment on Cook, now thinks so. Trump ROUTINELY made ... mistakes ... on his financial records and submissions. Dems might wanna roll with this. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Well she got people to look

Phrase I'm looking for: pound sand.

Excuse while I hold for breath for Clarence Thomas to establish precedent I’ll wait

Trump needs to resign then for all his stuff. You can’t hold a board member to a higher standard than the Prez. I’ll resign when you release the Epstein files motherfucker.

Consider the source.

Right?! Cause that’s what this is about?! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Money laundering for DECADES…foreign asset…quid pro quo…insurrection..stolen classified documents…34 convictions…stolen charity money…defamation/adjudicated rapist…EPSTEIN FILES

Aka: When opinion pieces are designed to appease a fascist. This 👇 !!! www.newyorker.com/magazine/202....

For real?

So transparent McArdle won't even post her picture

Tabloid trash

Endless bullshit. How about the orange felon's Russian bank relationship?

Why don't you ask Ken Paxton's why he has 3 permanent residences? Ask him to come clean.

Let’s apply the same scrutiny to every member of congress. Every official in the Trump abomination. Then we can talk.

Someone should tell her obeying doesn’t save you. It pulls you down into the darkness and you’re still at risk.

This

What's his opinion of Paxton?

No one spews more besides the point or missing the point opinions than her. Trump clearly doesn’t care if Cook lied on a mortgage form. He’s trying to take over the Fed for his own corrupt purposes to all of our downfall. The opinion needs to be about stopping him.

Nobody ordered the side of McMegan.

Gotta admit, McCardle is nothing if not transparent

typical koch-gargling Megan.

Wonder why it’s hard to support media/journalists! It’s articles like this!

How about state AG's? How about looking at TX, WaPo?

WaPo is bought and paid for...complicit. The good news is that we don't need to read, subscribe or otherwise acknowledge its existence.

Just remembering Trump's Mar a Lago fraud, and one of his defense arguments being that banks were not harmed.

The WaPo and all still there are not honest brokers. Don’t trust them. About anything.

The only problem with that headline is it does not include Paxton and all of the others who are guilty of claiming multiple primary residences.

Don't they have to label paid advertisements?

Now do TX AG Paxson.

Hope they tell that to Ken Paxton and Donald Trump while they’re at it!

"Some mortgage fraud is inevitable." www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

Where's the bothsides take now? I mean, if anyone should be coming clean, it's the cumquat in the White House and his menagerie of lickspittle minions

I’m remembering the name Megan McArdle as a fascist apologist and collaborator. And someone should look into her mortgage as every accusation is a confession with these ppl.

Some assholes are inevitable. Terrible headlines are not. They’re a choice. It’s time to clean your a$$, WaPoPo.

I stopped reading that billionaire's propaganda rag a long time ago. I really don't care, or need to know, what Jeff Bezos thinks I should think about the world.

Hey, Meagan: apnews.com/article/paxt...

The biggest fraudster is in the White House. Why isn’t she writing about that?

Yet another reason I'm glad I cancelled my WaPo subscription.

“The Trump administration has provided no evidence for its allegations of “mortgage fraud” against Lisa Cook and an individual can have multiple “principal residences”, as President Trump himself has.” @nathantankus.bsky.social www.crisesnotes.com/powell-will-...

Right wing hack blogger working for oligarch Bezos. What would you expect from her???🤬🤬🤮🤮

CANCEL YOUR WAPO SUBSCRIPTIONS 🗞

Megan, Megan, Megan

WP got any new updates on Trump's Tax Returns? You know, transparency and all.

Exactly why we stopped our subscription to the WP. Pure garbage most days.

Stfu

Ugh. Idiotic take

After the -Rump does

Libertarian says: “Mortgage fraud, is statist aggression and intrusion stifling natural property owning instincts” Also Libertarian says: “Non-Libertarian Macro Economic Fed Reserve Governor, should voluntarily walk on hot coals to prove themselves to me worthy to interfere with markets”

She's here, you know. Though I doubt she can tolerate much time here. @mcmegan.bsky.social She should come see what people have to say. It's not as though meaningful comments can actually get published on BePo anymore; its nannybot now does IV Red Bull and is thinner-skinned than Trump.

I agree @mcmegan.bsky.social should come see that the consensus is this is complete ridiculous bullshit. Does she have the evidence for the “fraud” that no one has produced? Seems like she should be sued by Lisa Cook.

Ooh. I like the way you think. And the fact that you called out @mcmegan.bsky.social again. She absolutely needs to answer for this, and I guarantee it won't happen in the comment section of that article-- where she's being rightly hammered.

It’s called Due Process, Megan, a never-ending legal process as conducted by Trump. Lisa Cook has just as much as he did. So let Trump’s goons prove it or suck it. Just ask yourself, in this situation, what would a Republican do?

Is TX AG Ken Paxton w/ 3 mortgages for primary residences in the “inevitable” or “come clean” group?

Is this one a personal freedoms piece or a free markets piece?

tRump is the last person who should be given the benefit of doubt. Where has she been these last few months?

This WAPO after all. And isn't she a right-wing libertarian? There's no hope for her.

What about trumps mortgage fraud

you. might want to check on Paxton, Texas AG, claims that he lives in 3 houses

So Faux News Got Their Misinformation Into Your Brain?

I refuse to read the WA PO anymore. Bezos kissed the ring.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I loathe what the press has become.

It has become a right wing propaganda machine.

So credulous.

Koch brothers sycophant and appendage. She would eat shit off the floor if she were instructed to.

Trump has been convicted of fraudulently representing the size of his properties in order to obtain inflated sums from banks.He also regularly lies about the value of property in order to obtain the lowest tax settlement. Trump was involved in money laundering with Epstein. Release the Epstein files

apnews.com/article/paxt...

JFC! Whatever!

bsky.app/profile/marc...

the washington post is a fuking disgrace

Nobody has a duller mind than McMegan.

Anybody affiliated with the WaPo, even as an occasional reader, needs to reexamine their values

Anybody affiliated with the WaPo has already considered their values.

"Even as an occasional reader"? I beg to differ. I'm waiting for my goddamn subscription to run out. They don't do partial refunds. If I want to try my hand at ridiculing BePo's bullshit in their nonsensically moderated comment sections, I WILL.

Thanks for the reply. I agree totally. I let my subscription lapse long ago & I have a hunch that mine to the NYT will be expiring soon Wishing you the very best

Sorry I snapped at you. Losing what was once WaPo is something I've taken kinda hard.

You’re good. Wishing you all the happiness that you can handle

Can we dare mention: Paxton? DonOld? SCOTUS Little Mike Johnson You go after one you need to go after them all

#washingtonpropoganda it’s no longer the Washington Post. Now it’s the Washington Post-it whatever they want you to say!

Living her best life

Mortgage fraud? Seriously? Go after Paxton and most likely the majority of Congress.

This kind of hack job would not have been publishable in the old WaPo. I cancelled my sub 8 months ago, you should think about it too.

WaPo is a rag

Her projection of "inevitable" indicates that someone should look into her financial history.

I stopped reading Washington Post back when Bezos decided to swing his dick around during the election. Don't need to read this crap anymore.

Under the right circumstances, it's perfectly legal to have multiple residences w/primary interest rates. E.g., You buy a home w/primary rates, company relocates you, then you can buy another home w/primary. Or, it's well-known to buy primary, wait a min year, buy another, rinse and repeat.

Florida AG Paxton: tinyurl.com/3er5vpce

I was going to say FU libertarian poser, you who have been given everything but yet judge those who haven't. But instead I will just scroll along my merry way and "like" comments that ease my ire.

What do you know, it worked. Biggest Thank you goes to Luci-Lu ‪@obdami.bsky.social‬

Meanwhile www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/k...

This story gets me because I knew a minister who had purchased a future retirement home. He and his wife scrupulously each spent 27 weeks a year in one of the homes, to justify calling them both "primary", even though this meant that for a couple weeks a year they had to live apart.

Of course its McArglelebargle

its a white elite paper and let me guess the target is black... Detroit Free Press would never be caught by doing both this story or headline....but then again DFP was founded in part by Mr. Moore.

Canceled my WaPo long ago. Good riddance

The president who wants to remove her for mortgage fraud, has stated on the record that he inflates his property value for mortgages and deflates the value for taxes. This whole thing is just because she is a she and black.

I could dump a box of Alpha-Bits on the floor and come up with a better headline.

Does she cite Ken Paxton as the poster child for mortgage fraud?

What about Attorney Generals??? www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/k...

Trump lied about the number of floors in his buildings and the number of sq ft in his apartments (< to save on taxes;> for valuations). Is this really a good issue for him?

Touches fingertips of left and right hand and gazes at WAPO sternly......"so, you want to talk about TRANSPARENCY?????"

wait til they start going through these writers records...of all kinds...

Lisa Cook should be held to the same standard that the President of the United States [/taps earpiece]

Fuck the washington post.

Who is this bitch? This has nothing to do with anything if she wants to uncover fraud maybe she should focus on the president not a duly appointed fed governor who did noting that would impact her ability to do her job They did the same to Mosby, James and Willis. I hate whyte bitches like her

Jane Galt cashes her paycheck, and murmurs a soft “pecunia non olet.”

So glad I canceled my subscription to that rag. I read it for decades, but it's little better than the National Enquirer now.

As multiple people have pointed out, this is likely to just be a simple error. And errors occur in the vast majority of mortgage paperwork. Fraud is different. It's what Paxton and Trump do.

McArdle is a dumb cunt

Remind me again how much tRump owes to the state of New York for his fraud that was proven in a court of law.

About that… www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

This doesn’t negate his guilt or the fact that he committed fraud and it was proven in a court of law.

True. However, his wallet remained intact this time around.

Hypocrites Trump does the same thing.

More BS from a crazy person.

She's such a worthless hack.

Where’s Megan’s article on why 34 felony counts for fraud aren’t disqualifying for potus?

The Empress of Unpopular Opinions shows up wearing no clothes…again.

My headline for the next WaPo edition: A lot of pedophiles raped girls on Epstein island. But Trump needs to come clean.

Megan McArdle, Trump enabler.

Omg 😂😂😂

bsky.app/profile/marc...

WAPO sucks. Glad I left them 1 1/2 years ago.

More like Megan McFartle, amirite?

Inevitable, says Megan McArdle. I wonder who else has done it with no intention of coming clean.

Please stop this. We know nothing at this point and you are out of line.

If you need to say that to McArdle, you can do so here: @mcmegan.bsky.social .

Megan McCardle is just one of the multitude of reasons I unsubscribed from @washingtonpost.com. It's disgraceful what this former news outlet has become.

McCardle/WashPo is doing the work like.

BOYCOTT Washington Post And... What about Ken Paxton

Megan McArdle needs to stop gargling the orange testicles.

Come clean about WHAT

There's a reason it never occurred to Bezos to fire her or to her to quit.

She’s the perfect “independent” thinker for Bezos “feee market” Trump fluffing.

She was trained in a Koch agiprop operation

“we hold the President to a lower standard than all other government ofricials ” is now an article of faith among MAGA disciples.

As should Ken Paxton!

Wouldn’t this apply to the presidency

Well, we are talking about a black woman. So, of course, the media will pretend this entirely made-up accusation by the Trump regime will be treated as truth. Trump is doing what he asked the president of Ukraine to do during his first term.

I can't wait to run for a political position then be accused of mortgage fraud despite never having taken out a mortgage

Trump is the worst fraudster in America

New band name. King Fraudster and the Sycophants

maga agitprop have you ever noticed that the ONLY thing MAGA does is point fingers? Never a suggestion or plan to fix things. Just point fingers and whine like a petulant child.

Puh-leeeze!

STFU Megan. 🙄

Oh its poor little rich girl McArtful being her Koch shill self. Nothing to see here.

Washington Post is dead. All that is left is a corpse.

WaPo is a huge disappointment these days.

It's okay, Megan just absolutely outed herself as someone who has without a doubt got something funny in her mortgage papers, lol

Like the Supreme Court justices?

I don't think any woman on the Fed Board should be held to a higher standard than the state AG of Texas, Ken Paxton, or the felon-rapist-traitor-president, both of whom have been caught actually committing fraud (not just accused of it by someone politically motivated to create scandal).

Tired of this hypocrisy. The White House needs to come clean about Trump’s health. Trump needs to come clean about his actual involvement with Epstein. What are they hiding?!

she’s been writing maniacally about AI taking over her job recently. maybe shes looking to go out in a blaze of glory before that happens.

No surprise that, the GOP apologist and fluffer McArdle would say something like this. No surprise at all.

Right?????

She’s a “libertarian” hack who has been wrong about everything from the bailouts to healthcare. Consider the source.

Fuck Bezos' bullshit

One of the very worst of WaPOOP's WHORES.

I mean, that's impressive.

Obama had to be perfect too.

Nope. That’s a suckers bet.

Jeff Bezos should have quit while he was ahead.

Dont we have a president who was found guilty of mass mortgage fraud?

www.bbc.com/news/world-u...

Hey, Megs, will you be looking into this guy ando or nah?

Trump needs to come clean about Epstein files.

An entitled wealthy white man convicted of 34 counts of felony fraud who then manufactures fraud allegations against a Black woman is the truest American story ever. It's still BS and we must not accept it #Resist #AbolishWhiteMaleSupremacy

Also Clarence Thomas

If there ever was a DEI hire of the kind that conservatives complain about, that's him.

My opinion is her opinion sux and may just have a fraud component to it … she should come clean (We can do this BS all day if that’s the way these opinion pages wanna play)

“Matt Yglesias has entered the chat”

Guck off, Megan. And get a lawyer.

I took a look at WaPo's roster of op-ed writers recently. It's awful. Bezos has essentially stacked the dugout with Trump apologists and Third Way hacks.

WaPo is still publishing?

She'll do it right after Trump releases his tax returns.

On brand.

how much did she pocket from the admin for that article?

Pathetic

scotus: 🍿

So guilty until proven innocent? Stupid!

I really did start laughing out loud.

Really?? What a stupid headline and stupid story.

Guilty until proven otherwise.

If it wasn’t so outrageously idiotic it would be hysterical.

@mcmegan.bsky.social Hey Megan You know that is what a trial is for. Or don’t you believe in innocent until proven guilty? Newsflash - you shouldn’t call yourself a journalist. You are a collaborator and part of the problem if you write crap like this

Did she do something really awful like claim the square footage of her property was triple the actual number?
