Self-described “MAGA leftist” Batya Ungar-Sargon confidently declared on Thursday night that President Barack Obama’s “first act in office” was passing the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program that bailed out financial institutions during the height of the 2008 financial crisis.
Ungar-Sargon would double down on that claim the following morning, tweeting that “in 2008, President Obama bailed out Wall Street and screwed over Main Street” while defending Donald Trump’s tariffs, insisting that “in 2024” the current president “screwed over Wall Street to bail out Main Street.”
There is just one small problem with The Free Press columnist’s analysis: TARP was signed into law by then-President George W. Bush on October 3, 2008 — a full month before Obama was elected president and four months before he entered the White House.
During an appearance on CNN Newsnight with Abby Philip, Ungar-Sargon — who has been making the media rounds to passionately defend Trump’s chaotic tariffs that have sparked a global market meltdown — attempted to contrast the factors that led to the Great Recession to the current economic environment……..

‘MAGA leftist’ blames Obama for 2008 bank bailout that was signed by George W. Bush
‘It’s another thing to log on in the morning and go: To be clear, Obama, who became POTUS in 2009, hates the common man so much he traveled back thru time to sign TARP,’ one journalist remarked about Batya Ungar-Sargon’s assertion

Yeah, anyone paying attention to the economic meltdown in 07-09 knows Bush signed TARP. That's pretty basic stuff.
A real bad piece of work.

To be fair we don’t know for sure this was a right wing nut job yet
=============
Police have arrested a man suspected of setting alight Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’shome Saturday night, and authorities say he will be charged with attempted murder and terrorism.
Pennsylvania State Police Col. Christopher Paris later identified the man in custody as Cody Balmer, 38, of Harrisburg.
“We don’t know the person’s specific motive yet,” said a visibly frustrated Shapiro in an emotionally charged press conference. “But we do know a few truths. First, this type of violence is not OK. This kind of violence is becoming far too common in our society. I don’t give a damn if it’s coming from one particular side or the other, directed at one party or another, or one person or another, it is not OK. It has to stop. We have to be better than this.”
Dauphin County District Attorney Francis Chardo said the man will be charged with attempted murder, terrorism, attempted arson and aggravated assault.
Shapiro said he and his family were woken up just after 2 a.m. to state police banging on their door after a fire to the governor’s residence in Harrisburg.
The fire broke out overnight on the first night of the Jewish holiday of Passover, which Shapiro and his family had celebrated at the governor's official residence in the state capital of Harrisburg. Shapiro had shared a photo of his family’s Seder table just hours prior.
Shapiro said the fire was set in the same room where they had celebrated Passover with a seder with members of Harrisburg’s Jewish community just hours earlier.
The governor’s mansion is monitored by state troopers. Officials said that Balmer hopped over a nearly 7-foot-high (2.1-meter-high) iron security fence, eluding officers, and then entered the home and set it on fire. He was inside the residence for about a minute before he escaped, and had a homemade incendiary device on him. Police later arrested him nearby.……..

An active-duty serviceman in the US army is openly following a proscribed neo-Nazi terrorist group on social media, one that has vowed to recruit soldiers in preparation for a so-called race war.
Experts say examples like this shows how under Pete Hegseth, the Pentagon is allowing extremism to go unchecked.
On the surface, following a TikTok account might seem like a minor infraction for a young private in the 1st Infantry Division. But not only has that private followed the Base, a violent neo-Nazi terrorist organization once the target of an FBI investigation, there are directives issued under Joe Biden that discourages that kind of social media activity.
But in February, the DoD issued a memo halting a major counter-extremism initiative rooting out white nationalists and far-right influences among servicemen, citing that it was not in line with Donald Trump’s executive orders. Since, the efficacy of rooting out the far right within the ranks remains unclear.
In the wake of the January 6 insurrection on Capitol Hill and early revelations that at least 151of those attackers had a military background, the Pentagon issued a historic stand-down order and created a working group on extremism.
By December 2021, it released new policies on what constitutes extremist activities, namely policing how soldiers behave on social media, which included any affiliations to extremist organizations.
On an obscure and secretive TikTok account the Base operates for recruitment, counting just 30 followers, a private and mortarmen in the 1st Infantry Division is listed as a follower. Posts on the account promote the Base’s assassination and sabotage mission in Ukraine, neo-Nazi iconography, and plans to create “platoon-sized units of highly dedicated, trained men”.
The Guardian provided the name and rank to the US army, which said it was now investigating the matter.
“The army will not tolerate harmful behaviors and activities – including active participation in extremist activities,” said a spokesperson in an email, affirming that the army complies with tracking extremist activities and submitting data to the Pentagon’s inspector general.……
But under the reign of the new Pentagon, extremism and the far-right are an afterthought, while policing and deleting away “woke” ideologies remains paramount. Hegseth has his own connections to Christian nationalism and was reported by a servicemember for alleged extremist tattoos that prevented him from attending president Biden’s inauguration.
“I think it’s pretty obvious that soldiers interested in the far right have less to fear – Hegseth has made it clear he doesn’t care about this issue,” said Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism.
“So why would a soldier be worried about getting into trouble for associations with white supremacists and neo-Nazis?”…….
