GOP pols are already dodging in-person town hall meetings with their constituents, so as to avoid getting bad news and ill will barked at them. Imagine how things will be in a few months when millions have absorbed increases in healthcare, or have been forced to go without. No amount of blather. BS and lies from this fat, orange criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat will convince voters that what they are seeing is not real.

I'll wager that all those in the administration who are yearning for improved conditions in 2026 will shortly thereafter rue the passing of 2025...

Here's a hint to spot the phonies: when they go after white women, you know those agents are not bona fide ICE dudes, in which case you can just shoot them...

Pro tip, from one who lends money on real estate for a living: amortization is the lender's friend, equity build-up is the borrower's friend, your house is not an investment, and real estate values can fall as well as rise.

After 30 years, longer amortization doesn't help lower monthly debt service very much. For example, assume a $500,000 mortgage at 6.00%. on a 30-year schedule. Monthly payment is $2,997 and after seven years (typical holding period for a home, in the US) a borrower has paid down $51.8k. For a 40-year amortization, the monthly payment goes down by only 8.2% ($246) and after seven years, only $26,129 has been repaid. If, after seven years, real estate prices have stagnated, and interest rates have gone up only 75bp, to 6.75%, a borrower pays the same as the 30-am mortgage. In other words, it is easy to see how a longer amortization presents very little upside, and a larger amount of downside. All for 8% less in payment...

Pro tip: neck tats are never a look that endears a guy to the ladies. I'll wager he was arrested without the use of neck gaiters, thuggery toward Girl Scouts, or pointing guns at pregnant women at the bus stop...

She's in. She passes for blonde. She can help coordinate meals, uniforms and female companionship for those hard-working storm troopers of ICE. Schlampe...

She will be on the street before Festivus. And no MAGA type will raise a peep about this, after all, those Epstein Files are all a hoax, made up by the phony media and Pam Blondi to distract from all the wars the orange man-god has solved...

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES...

Girls Scout troops can look like Antifa gangs, no doubt, with their matching outfits, boisterous, can-do attitude and organization. The ICE creeps surely ran off in fright, thinking that three girls, all named Gracie, were about to lay hands on those cowardly lions.

I'll lay the over/under on the number of ICE agents who are married at two, and those two are married to each other. How can any sane person let such awful people into their lives?

With limited ability to call for political rallies (without risking the look of those in Nazi Germany 1934-39) Der Dotard can be expected to show up at mass gatherings hither and yon for the foreseeable future. Of course, his shadow will not darken the door of the Kennedy Center, because the low attendance will be a direct reflection of his words and actions. Trump thinks that big crowds assembled for any other reason are there for him when he shows up...

I don't know him but everyone is saying he was treated very badly by Sleepy Joe so blah, blah, blah ...
-A certain orange faced criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat, in about 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

The password: Ballroom ...

The art of dealing with Der Dotard: stroke his triple XXXl ego for a few minutes and he gives you anything you ask for. So much winning!

Imagine how easy it will be to convince those Briars, Okies and folks from other Red States that they should remember to vote in person the first Wednesday of next November. And bring a canned good for the ICE Officers Thanksgiving collection ...

An awful song. Incomprehensible lyrics, sung by a coke head who couldn't hit a note, playing in a band that had seen its true talent disappear years before. Mick Fleetwood and John McVie as a rhythm section make mayonnaise on wonder bread seem exotic, and the late 70's version of Fleetwood Mac make ABBA seem like The Rolling Stones. Were it not for payola no one would know about Stevie Nicks. And don't get me started about'Tusk' ...

With new rumors of a certain president photographed with topless teens, there is no way a little toady is going to allow his man-god to go down in this matter. Of course, many MAGA folk--men and women alike--would think that their orange hero with a semi-nude teen girl on his lap is a wonderful display of his virility, taste in women and desirability to the opposite sex...

Well, that's it.

The House of Representatives will never again be brought to order until Der Dotard is removed from office. That recently-elected congressperson from Arizona might as well stay home; she will never be seated. Either that or a bunch of Congressfolk who signed the discharge petition are about to be found dead, or otherwise unable to answer the roll call...

Here's how this works:
-students with food in their bellies do better in school
-better performing students means better schools
-better schools means more desirable neighborhoods around those schools
-more desirable neighborhoods means higher property values
-higher property values means greater wealth experienced by home owners

Hey, Colorado taxpayers: thanks for the meals, which benefit you in the end. Bon appetite!

Someone, somewhere has added "The Explosion Sandwich" to their diner's lunch menu. No word yet as to the meat selection--ham, turkey or very small sausages...

I do believe that thanks to Kash Machine we are entering a golden age of organized criminal activity in the US...
--Mafia, street gang and foreign criminal cells operating in the US

Were Der Dotard try to kick a soccer ball he would end up looking like Charlie Brown trying to kick a football. El Rey Dotardo II is starting to make Li'l Kim look svelte...

No biggie, said the MAGA functionaries. They know that Thomas and Alito are in the bag, and only three others need to be brought to heel. Let Justice Amy vote with the gals (they don't count, after all). Brett the K can be bought off with a case of Natty Light, Gorsuch will be told ruling in favor of Trump makes his hair look good, and Roberts, well he will be reminded of some secrets, to keep him on board. That's how MAGA rolls...

The State of Florida is having a hard time halting the sale of property by Canadians, many of whom bought in 2009-10, rescuing the housing market in SW Florida and getting great deals at the same time. Those folks, now feeling unwelcome, are selling. And guess who they are selling to? Anyone who comes along...

These ICE dudes need to present valid operators licenses and proof of insurance when signing up for the job. One thinks they are listening to too much thrash metal on the radio while out trolling for victims to terrorize and humiliate. Meanwhile, rental car companies are surely freaking out about the condition of vehicles returned--beat up passenger sides, vomit and urine soaking the interiors, cases of empty Red Bull and Five-Hour Energy bottles strewn about, and half-eaten Slim Jims in the glove box and under the seats...

Mayor Pureval is well-liked and has done a good job in office. He came to City Hall after cleaning up the county recorder's office. He conducts himself like an adult. He seems to recognize the good and bad in the city and is focused on making things better.

Cory Bowman was a stooge, put up for the job by local MAGA hacks who thought that his half brother had coat tails. It was found out that Bowman (1) didn't pay state sales taxes collected from his coffeehouse business for more than a year (he finally did so in recent weeks), and (2) may have committed voter fraud when voting in his election, because he said he lived in one place, owned homes in two other locations, and may have voted in a local precinct where he didn't actually live, causing issues with a local judgeship race. His campaign was all about "Make Cincinnati Great Again" and local took offense to the insinuation that the Queen City was a shadow of itself, which it is not.

I'll wager the guy will never be heard of again, other than for some future traffic violation or domestic violence matter which may arise...
