Looks like 350,000 Hatians are on their way to the homeland...

Any guesses on the economic impact of firing ~200,000 workers?

I bet you think it's a net positive, right?

The day Trump takes office - "rElEaSe tHe ePsTeIn fIlEs!!!"

Trump actually made that a campaign promise, though.

And paid lip service to it, and then fired his AG for not hiding them well enough.

You know he's in there, is the only reason you're talking about it.

"Knowing how totally infested military, government, intelligence and corporations are functioning on behalf of a Nazi regime still persuing a genocide?!"

Just don't vote then.
There's no White Knight coming to save Gaza.
Or rather, you're a white knight, tilting at windmills.

"Ignoring how impactful that subject has been is part of the DNC structure, thus no "autopsy"."

DNC bungled that beyond recognition for sure.

They did eventually release the autopsy, 18 months later, presumably after de-Gaza-ing it. I can't see any other reason for the delay, or why Gaza isn't mentioned.

DNC is too afraid to alienate anyone. It's like JeffJ says, when you try to appeal to everyone, you appeal to no one.

Screw Israel and screw it's supporters.

Alexa, what is cutting off your nose to spite your face?

"You can set your table however you deem suitable. DNC learned that nobody of good moral standing wants to sit there."

Read Hunter Biden's tweet from today. Mamdani didn't wait for an invitation. And neither did Trump for that matter. They're the guys who shows up at the Burger King bringing in food from McDonald's.

"AIPAC owns both parties, after all."

You can have AIPAC ownership, or joint AIPAC NRA/Russian ownership

I think one of those is better than the other, and I vote accordingly.

Maybe next time the FBI shouldn't be so active in the plot. It was the source of every acquittal.

That only works when it's Muslims.
When it's white people, the white people suddenly become sympathetic.

"I moved in 2007 and again in 2009. Rough time."

I have some friends in that position. Only bought because they thought they'd be there for a while, with steady government or government adjacent jobs, and that's when renting is a waste of money.

You'll never guess what happened next!

Sigh. I should probably just throw down for a 3br 2ba somewhere with decent schools. I can afford it. Sure seems like I'm a financial simpleton for not doing it.

Yeah. The "conspiracy" was in no way a part of the alleged violent crime of attempted murder, is the point I was hoping to make there.

"Morally repugnant find it pragmatic to vote for their interests alone, such as not voting for the populist agenda."

Lacking the moral awareness that Gaza isn't on the table... is the opposite of being pragmatic.

Many of the specific removals were initiated by the Department of Defense and Inspectors General for infractions unrelated to White House

In other words, the opposite of what Sow Hegseth is doing.

Funny. He doesn't look black.

Fix Or Retrain (AI) Daily.

"the conspiracy to kidnap Whitmire isn't a conspiracy."

And lots of them were found not guilty.

but it's usually because there will be a loser on the other side of that transaction.

BlackRock can take the losses, you financial simpleton.

Conspiracy to protect a box of zines, sure. Not worth thirty years. Maybe thirty days.

I'm not surprised lefties are sympathizing with these convicts.

Of course.
Just like you're not surprised righties are sympathizing with Jan 6 convicts.

You said it showed it wasn't part of a conspiracy.

Did I? Discussing anything criminal is a conspiracy. It's a catch-all for thought crimes. Pros... wouldn't do it from the jail house phone.

It's only a gain if you sell it. Until then it's a tax liability.

It's a tax break too. Until it's all yours and not the banks, which typically takes thirty years.

Real estate is an investment. Like buying stocks.
#18 | Posted by donnerboy

This too is bubble thinking, as you went on to explain. Real estate isn't the same as stocks. People ultimately need a place to live. You can't live in stocks.

What the mortgage interest deduction is supposed to incentivize sure seems a far cry from the reality of the economy we have today.

I could afford to buy a house but not really looking at it, for reasons. One, these prices seem unsustainable. Two, this economy feels shaky. Three, not interested in putting down roots in a fascist country.

All of that still might not outweigh the benefits though.

You realize home equity is a substantial amount of wealth for middle class folks.

This kind of thinking is how we got a housing bubble.

"Are you envious of everyone who has what you don't?"

Are you? Why is it always envy?

Pointing out that the game is rigged in favor of the wealthy is not the same thing as being envious of them.

Plenty find it repulsive that the rich get richer by e.g. sending factories to China. They're not envious of destroying broad American prosperity to enrich a few already rich. They don't want to be the person whose gains are simply someone else's loss.

Find a better way of understanding people's motivation. Stop penciling in what sure seems like your own envy, since it's always front of mind for you, as everyone else's.

The bill becomes law without Trump's signature, ten days after passage, unless he actually vetoes it, which be doesn't have the votes to do.

Only exception is if both halves of Congress go on recess. I wouldn't put it past them.

"So....you don't own a home that's experienced an increase in value?"

Renters don't own the homes they live in. They rent them.

"If snitching means you are not a criminal conspiracy nor a gang"

I said it shows they're amateurs.
