What are you talking about? Trump & DeSantis have never run in the same year in FL.
POLITICAL THREAD

Home buying under Trump was open to a whole hell of a lot more people when rates were under 2% at some points. The income needed to buy a median-priced home has literally doubled since 2019 from $54,00 to $111,000. Have to think the percentage of those under 30 making between $54K and $111K is far far greater than those making north of $111K.
And who’s responsible for that generation not making a livable income when they waste their education on useless degrees. Whose fault is that again?
These people are in power. Unbelievable.
Definitely. We would disagree on what a baby is though. You sidestepped the question though. Yes, they all have value, but do they all have the same value or not?
No leftism can be fascist, by definition. It can be authoritarian sure. But not fascist.
Lived in Houston for roughly 6 years and she was not exactly popular but continued to get re-elected. It's kind of funny that she's a member of Congress with a degree from Yale and UVa, her husband is Vice Chancellor and VP of Student Affairs at Univ of Houston, her kids have graduated from Harvard and Duke and her district is among the poorest in Houston. I'm sure she has a TON of things in common with the poor and working poor who continue to vote for her. An unabashed racist and, as can be seen plainly in the video, just not very smart. Why her constituents continue to vote for her when she's done nothing for them in 30 years, has nothing in common with their plight and is just an embarrassment is beyond me.
People can still buy homes, the younger people just need to aim a little lower than what older people have. Most older people did the same and traded up as they got older. If they can pay rent, they can buy a house. It may not be their dream home but, at least they are spending money on a home that they can sell later and take that money and put it towards and better one. That is how it is done. Dion is like all of these other entitled dolts who want it now.

That’s part of the problem. Young people want to start out in a $500k house.
Good that he has this on, but it's not anything new. This has been known for weeks if not months.
What's way worse is Russia targeting civilians with no fighters around. That's genocide.

Arizona giving Trump what he wants - an individual state decision:
"The Arizona Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a 160-year-old law that bans abortions and punishes doctors who provide them, saying the ban that existed before Arizona became a state can be enforced going forward.
The ruling indicated the ban cannot be retroactively enforced, and the court stayed enforcement for 14 days."
Abortion in Arizona set to be illegal in nearly all circumstances, state high court rules
The 1864 law mandates prison time for abortion providers and only allows for abortion if the mother's life is at risk.

Graham and Mccain wanted war with Russia back in 2016. Lindsey was using the MuhRussiaCollusion hoax to force Trump to give Ukr more than he wanted to. Lindsey would never do that to help America or Americans.

And depending on where you live there aren't any $150,000 homes. I watched one of those renovation shows in Cali. They bought a 2 BR slab home for $550,000. That home would have been $120,000 in KY.. it wasn't in good shape either.
And some wonder why so many people in the world hate America...
The level of stupidity on that show is unbelievable.
Life begins at conception. There would be no question about that if this had not been made political so people can kill other people. Only the politicals debate that fact.
Every life is unique and made in the image of God. So, on that measure of “value” everyone is valuable. That does not mean they all “deserve” the same outcomes or even the same economic opportunity. Pretending we are all equal for purposes of potential in the world is nonsensical. It’s actually an ugly premise to pretend that people are not unique with different gifts and potential.
America is great, because people can push above their starting point and not just economically How ugly the world would be if we all pretended we were the same or that competition is not inherently human. Some of the most successful humans I know started with what should have been a great disadvantage. They would not wish that pain on anyone, but some say it was a foundation for their success.
When the government tells you that you cannot fail, many people don’t live their lives. That is evil.
So why don't people deserve equal opportunity? Who should get more opportunities and who less?
You have to parse things to get to that conclusion. If your describe behavior and stop buying the leftist position that all fascism starts with the right-wing, the left in this country are the most oppressive people. They are authoritarian, dictatorial, desiring a centralized autocracy or theocracy. Their nationalism is not defined by borders, but by extremist ideology. Thry force a social hierarchy upon the masses and believe in forced suppression of the opposition. They are obsessed with classism.
I completely understand why you want to pretend that is not true. It’s not pretty for you.
Define equal opportunity, as you use it.
And, how would you suppress opportunities for those you feel have too much?
This has to be one of the dumbest people on the planet
I didn't use it first, you did. You claimed you believed it and changed to it when I was talking about the "created equal" in the Declaration:
So let's dissect this as it does a fairly good job of illustrating exactly how leftism isn't fascist. Like I said it can be authoritarian sure, but it isn't fascist.
1) "They are authoritarian, dictatorial, desiring a centralized autocracy or theocracy." - The left, especially in America, has absolutely no ties to either autocracy or theocracy. In fact they openly advocate against religion.
2) "Their nationalism is not defined by borders, but by extremist ideology." - This is nonsense, nationalism means directly exalting one's nation. It is literally defined by borders, not ideology. All ideology is secondary to the interests of the nation. That's the very meaning of nationalism. Which is all in direct opposition to leftism.
3) "They force a social hierarchy upon the masses and believe in forced suppression of the opposition." - What social hierarchy? What is it defined by? The definition of leftism is tearing down traditional hierarchies, not reinforcing them. Even if you argue the current American left doesn't do that it would just be a failing to live up to that leftist standard, not a feature of leftism. As you correctly point to it's a feature of fascism.
This is nonsense. The increase in prices is entirely because of policy decisions… the worst being the economic shutdown and everything that flowed from that.
As if it just happened out of thin air.

It didn't happen in a vacuum, the rest of the world were doing things we had no control over(and that's exactly how y'all want it with individual sovereignty). And they're mostly doing far worse than us in terms of inflation and recession. Regardless, those covid policies started under Trump, remember?
Our elected officials will move heaven and Earth in order to get money to Ukraine and Israel and Gaza. They will not lift a finger to stop illegal immigration into this country or to stop fentanyl from killing thousands per year.CIA Officer Admits To Undercover Journalist That FBI Agents Attended January 6 Protest At Capitol
