POLITICAL THREAD

A mortgage is "a loan on unrealized gains."

So you're saying people shouldn't be able to buy houses with less than the full purchase price...

That reveals your basic emotion for all to see. Why should anyone with something of value that they own or have earned not be able to borrow against it? What kind of petty jealousy is it that only wants some people to be able to do so?

Oh yeah, it's someone who doesn't want to take risks themselves. It's someone that doesn't want to earn value, but instead be given value, that doesn't want anyone to else to be able to risk something and be rewarded.

Are you a communist?

The loan itself is based on current value, not unrealized gains. Also, homes are usually people’s biggest asset. The equity growth is separate than the loan itself.

I’m not a communist because I don’t want to redistribute wealth. I just want the wealth returned to the rightful owners which is the middle class.

This is one time bad unemployment numbers will actually be a good thing.

Is there a more ugly, miserable looking group of people on the planet than liberal, well-to-do white women?

Nope. They're right up there with LeBron when somebody breathes on him and a foul isn't called, John McEnroe when a call didn't go his way, and Greta Thunberg .... well ... always

Politician retirement is ridiculous. That said, 20 years on the job with 50% pension is pretty damn good in today’s market.

BLM was a major fundraiser for the Dems. See how this money laundering operation works? Take our taxes and pay those who pay for your campaigns.

Imo that fake polling was to cover up the cheating. They maybe got 25% of the vote. Maybe. The rest is completely fake. Thats why they needed the fake everything so people wouldn't question.

Given Hollywood's insanity, is there any doubt usaid funded them too? They had to know noone would watch woke trainwrecks like the female Ghostbusters etc. No way they make that crap unless theyre backstopped.

Bet those political ads featuring all those celebrities was likely funded.

Needs to be some serious consequences for this shit. People were killed at some of these rallies. Hopefully Bondi is reviewing this stuff for prosecution.

I know someone in another thread said that Shawn Ryan was untrustworthy because he had a guy on his podcast that said he saw a UAP in a jungle in SE Asia... but.



Shawn interviewing Lindy Lee who was a big time bundler/fund raiser for the dems who got attacked when she spoke out after the disastrous loss and waste of almost $1.5B in campaign funds....

They create these scenarios in their heads while never actually speaking to a conservative. We were all clearly wanting this, dumbasses. Why would we “regret our vote” when he ran on this? It’s like these people don’t actually know a GD thing because they rely solely on whatever talking point headline they heard in passing.

These idiots are like the Sam's gloating about how they bet we regret our vote now!

No, you stupid idiots, this is PRECISELY what we voted for! 👏

Biden’s government paid Gallup for false or favorable polls, it appears.

How can this not be worth prison?

This whole mess is so big that it’s impossible to even know where to begin administering justice.

Nightwish would say Gallup is THE gold standard in polling and Rasmussen is a partisan rightwing pollster. LOL.

"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly gifted US President Donald Trump with a golden pager and a regular one, a reference to the clandestine operation that decimated the Hezbollah terror group.

“That was a great operation,” Trump responded, according to Channel 12 news.

In return, Trump gave Netanyahu a photo of the two of them from the visit, with the dedication “To Bibi, a great leader.”

In September, thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah operatives across Lebanon suddenly exploded, killing and injuring dozens. A day later, hundreds of walkie-talkies also blew up, killing and injuring scores more."

Trump better have that pager inspected in case he ever pisses off Bibi.

Why do you hope Trump fails? Wouldn't a failed Trump presidency be bad for the country and for you? I don't have a crystal ball so I can't predict how all these things will turn out. But openly cheering for Trump, who you presumably voted for, to fail is just insane.

Sometimes you make a lot of sense. Other times, your hatred of Trump overwhelms your good sense. Just my $0.02. You do you.

I guess the destruction of our country is worth it to him if it means he can come on here and gloat.

Messaging. I heard some black dudes on YT today reacting to dems protesting outside of Treasury. They were just baffled that people would be upset that they were finding waste and fraud... They kept asking "what is the problem with this?". LOL. Dems are digging themselves deeper.

I thought we'd lose the midterms because it just usually happens but polls are showing dems are losing ground by the week. Pubs might actually pick up a few seats the way things are going. Dems aren't going to have to overwhelming money advantage this time either.

 

[Girthang]

Honestly...why do we even pay taxes? And at this point I think this money abused by USAID should be sent back to the taxpayers.

But just the people that voted for Trump to uncover and cut out this fraud. The ones that voted for more of it are happy to fund it. They should be exempt.

I'm rooting for taxes to remain as they are & the deficit to go down due to spending cuts. I don't see Trump & Congress in the same place & a fight coming. Trump talks about lower taxes w/o a way to pay for them - bigger deficits. His lower taxes won't be paid for by the spending cuts DOGE is working on. So you tell me who I'm rooting for. Answer: I'm rooting for an outcome, not any one person.

Federal elections should be standardized. That’s just common sense.

IOW, federalize elections vs. states running them. To hell with states rights, right?

 

[hmt5000]

I was on YouTube a day or 2 ago...was scrolling and came across a video from MSNBC (no idea how...never searched for an MSNBC video before) but anyways...the headline of the video was something like "Trump caves on tariffs on Canada and Mexico". I almost clicked the video to hear the reasoning behind that but thought better not to.

I think I know.... YT is owned by Google. They are far left. They rig their algorithm to favor left leaning sites and downplay right leaning sites. YT is supposedly meeting with Trump this week. Rumor of some right wing creators thinking about suing YT over applying rules unequally.... Lets see if the algorithm shifts to even over the next couple months.

Politicians shouldn't get a pension. They are serving as a rep. They are supposed to go back home and do their day job after a term or 2. If these asshole want a retirement they need to not do politics.

I’d be okay if we could just stop the very top from taking loans on unrealized gains. They can live exuberantly, and purchase many different modes of income, all the while paying very little in taxes because of the loans that are available to them alone.

What if they are taking these loans to purchase other businesses or create new ones that create hundreds if not thousands of jobs?
