Do you even realize how stupid you look quoting this propaganda?

Never mind, you're much too stupid to realize how stupid you are. My apologies to the stupid, that aren't as stupid as you.
The stupid ones are the cult members that completely ignore the fact that the GD United States Army issued a REBUKE of Trump for his improper behavior. He trashed the Arlington rules period.
An official rebuke was issued by the Army.
Not MSNBC.
Not CNN.
Not a Dem in Congress.
The US ARMY ya cultboy fool!!!!
You and the rest of your cult can try and spin this all you want but nobody with half a brain is buying your stupid BS on this.

 
You are clueless about why this was an issue.
It's not about a family inviting Trump to a gravesite. If he went there, paid his respects and followed the rules...it would not have been an issue.
There are very strict rules about what you can and can't do at Arlington in that section. Videotaping a F'ing Tik Tok political ad is not one of them. 🤡
Trump and his insane clown posse told the Arlington officials to F off and went ahead snapping photos/videotaping and stomping around gravesites like the disrespectful fu**ers they are.
Do you not care that other families, Arlington and the US army didn't approve of this and are not happy about it?
Of course you don't.
You are in a cult that only sees what the Dumbazz tells you to see.



What a ****ing clown!!! You call Trump and his crew disrespectful for violations against the deceased at cemeteries and openly celebrate the deaths of children before they are even born. Disgusting vile POS you are!!!!

Skank comes to mind...
 
I put far more value in Trump being invited by the family and posing with them while they were also smiling and king thumb up than I do “official” ceremonies. What kind of retard thinks a family inviting someone to a memorial is political, but a politician in office photo opping without an invite is not.

You people are so goddam stupid.
Guess you think it's ok if a military family invites Trump into Arlington to do doughnuts on a four wheeler and throw a keg party on graves too.
Arlington is not just any cemetery. It has very strict rules and regulations. The Trump team was made aware of this and chose to tell them to kiss off. They shoved an employee who tried to correct them.
He is a disrespectful POS. This behavior wasn't just rebuked by left wing media or Democrats.
The US ARMY issued a rebuke of his BS behavior there.
I wouldn't expect you to see anything wrong with it any more than Jim Jones's followers didn't see anything wrong with drinking cyanide laced Kool aid.
Cults be cultin'.

Your the sicko that celebrates 10 year olds having their rapist's baby. 🤢

Living in your Christian, patriarchal, rural bubbles y'all have no idea how screwed you are on this issue, do you? Abortion restriction ballot measures are failing in RED states. Ours did here in KY, another in Kansas. This is the big reason Dems have any chance at all. The anti-abortion crowd are a very loud, small minority.
 
What does this mean about Dobbs? Are you under the mistaken impression like @HymanKaplan it precludes federal legislation? It doesn’t. Dobbs only returned it to the states because there isn’t federal abortion law currently on the books. Any that arises, like that which both parties have put forth, would be binding. Please show us in Dobbs where it says, “It doesn't matter what the FED says about abortion.” It does. It matters the most as they have higher authority.
Do you understand what the Supreme Court's role is, in our government? It's primary function? I don't think you do.

Judicial review. And talking about overarching civics theory doesn't help you here. Dobbs did not in any way say there can't be federal laws on abortion. The majority of people want them and it'll be a political issue until resolved. Which is unlikely to be soon thanks to the filibuster.

They think 10 year olds giving birth to their daddy's baby is a winning issue for them.

My simple question to anyone is this: How are you better off today than you were four years ago?

I'll answer it for myself. I am not. Everything costs more. My spending habits haven't changed either. It's not like I've started buying exuberant items. Just the normal stuff. My savings has dwindled down under this administration. Even with my wife deciding to work more as an OT we aren't making the money we did pre Biden Harris administration. Let me make it real simple for everyone, she's lying now. If she can fix everything in January she can do it now. She has no plans of doing it then. It's a lie because she thinks enough dumb voters will believe it. And I can speak for someone coming from the agricultural sector. $3.00 a bushel corn isn't paying anyone's bills. Again resulting in more middle class strain. Biden has nearly broke the middle class. A Harris administration will kill the middle class. So again I ask how are you better now than 4 years ago? Cause I am not.
I am way worse off, more than most. I own a mortgage company, but don’t have employees, rather just originate mortgage loans. Under trump I never made less than 6 figures, my worst year was $130,000, my best was $520,000. The last two years under Biden I am making $40,000/year. I have drained every single dime I have saved up, liquidated my assets and now have my Florida condo on the market I was fortunate enough to buy a few years ago. I’ve been doing this for 20 years and my last two years have been worst than my first two years in the business which is unheard of for someone as established as I am in this industry. I am now having to rebrand myself and feel like I am starting all over at 56 years of age. Any hope I ever had of retiring has been pissed away the last two years thanks to this shit administration.

These are the same people who mocked a Trump supporter after losing his daughter in the Parkland shooting. Eff them.

Sorry man, that sucks. It seems the party is over for the housing market. We are at historical lows for houses under contract and mortgage applications. Homes are barely selling and people just aren’t spending.

Very scary when you consider the fact it’s happening as rates are dropping.

Wayfair CEO said sales are worse than the financial crises. MANY people are about to be affected by Bidenomics, they just aren’t aware quite yet.

You don't think it's going to take off once the mortgage rates drop in the coming 6 months or so?

I've been keeping an eye on things, in no way an expert.. but reading about the "boomer tide" that's about to start happening in 2026/27 gives me some hope. It's at that year, and the next 15-20 years after that, that the boomer generation will (sadly) start to relinquish their homes. Now, some have said "those homes will just go to their children", and that may be true, but that doesn't mean the kids will want the house, or can afford it. And if they DO want the house, they might be selling the home they are in now.

IDK, with the massive amount of new builds taking place (they are adding about 10 4b/3ba in my neighborhood as I write this and they are going up fast), I feel like we could be looking at a very big buyers market coming soon. I think there's just too many people in my age group (30's) that have been waiting on the sidelines to buy. When those rates drop, or really if ANYTHING changes in their favor, everyone is jumping in that buyer pool again.

We’ll see. I’m not an expert myself, but there is a lot of info out there that is very very bad. Of course it’s not making any kind of news.

We sold our house 6 months ago when rates were still elevated and the interest we got was crazy. 50 showings in less than a week and a bidding war.

Rates have come down quite a bit since then and homes are not selling in my area at all right now.

Oh yeah I agree 100% in regards to the economy as a whole. IT jobs are drying up. There's nothing out there. Friends I have that have been looking say they have applied to 100's of places, got nothing. I've told everyone on my team and friends/acquaintances to sit tight in their job, because there's just nothing out there.

I purchased my duplex in 2018 and our home just over a year ago. Both were vastly different experiences. The Duplex I was able to basically tell the seller "fix these things and I'll buy it".. The Home, my pregnant wife had to literally play up the birth because we were being recorded and on camera, go $40k over asking price, and we still almost didn't get it.

But, I think if the housing market opens back up, whenever that is.. I think it could soften the blow. I'm saving as much as I can now to be ready for 2030 in hopes to buy a vacation rental lake house in the ADKs. I'm in no position to afford something like that just for myself, so the plan would be to rent it out. But I have strong feelings were heading towards a big buyers market.. Just depends on what the economy looks like.

Of course you do. You keep bringing up this 10 and 12 year old rape victim BS as it is the norm for abortion when in fact it is an extremely very small percentage of abortion cases. The right would gladly give you this as an exception if you would quit advocating for inconvenience abortions and calling it healthcare.

I hear multiple stories like yours all the time. It's a variety of careers too. Bidenomics eh? It's absolutely absurd the economy is in this shape. Harris keeps promising all this free stuff that's gonna be paid by the billionaires and millionaires. Well guess what? There's only a finite number of those. When you tax the shit out of them because "they can afford it" those billionaires and millionaires decrease and there's less. Meaning those taxes trickle down to the middle class and we get to pay for people's "free" healthcare and college.

The only folks "better off" are illegals and DC Democrats.

I absolutely cut my spending... and its not lack of income/money.

Why pay $30 for a $10 item?

I'll wait: November's not that far away.

Bottom line:
Trump went and paid his respects to the fallen and their family members.
Joe & Kamala couldn't be bothered.
So all the msm propaganda tall tales and innuendo isn't going to change those plain optics.

I have a 20,000 square foot commercial property that has been on the market for over a year. The price has been dropped 3 times and it already priced less than I want to sell it for. Commercial property in my area is not moving at all. I have another property I will put on the market if the first ever sells. I am hoping for an improvement after Nov, but not confident.

The scary thing about this is that I feel there's still a large percentage of businesses locked into Leases for commercial property. My company was set to move it's HQ to a brand new building right before COVID hit. I think the lease was for 3 years, so we more or less just got out of that, and now that building is totally empty. But how many more leases will come up this year, next year, and beyond, that won't be renewed? My mom's law firm was in an office complex that had probably 8 businesses. That building now has just one. Commercial property owners are holding onto these last few years of leases.

Large cities have already had their tax base cut off because of the vacancies, and it seems they re still realizing the effects of this.. but I think there's more to come.

Tech jobs are never going back to the office, unless it's hands on work. They've hired too many people nationally and globally, and the companies that DO try to force people back, will lose their work force.

People are going to need jobs.

Rates will drop, but if prices go up, then that is no payment relief.

There have been lots of layoffs the last 2 years.

Saw yesterday where Goldman is laying off 1,300.

What type of workers do you think those are, and what would drive a company in that industry to lay off 1,300 employees?

We need increased supply, lower rates, tax and insurance relief and and quality jobs.

There is so much spit and tape keeping this economy floating right now.

Strange party. Whatever happened to dunking booths, cotton candy, and merry-go-rounds?
But i will give credit where it's due. the DNCcp convention had the clowns in abundance.

Yes.

Let’s say companies, on average, sign 10 year leases.

That means the average remaining lease in March 2020 was 5 years. On average, we are about 6-8 months away from tenants formally vacating.


Offices are empty. Buildings that do sell are selling for a song.

After thinking some more, could be a great buying opportunity in a junk economy for those with solid jobs.

The dam is about to break if we re-elect dims.

However, if we do re-elect dims, the population will continue to surge and the “surgers” will be the ones incentivized. And while, to your point, a lot of people will be out of work, the funny money will find its way into the wrong hands, the housing supply likely remains too tight, and the great deals may not emerge for the every man.
