Trump blows…

You should have led with your last paragraph my friend and dispensed with the rest of the post. Now I have to try to sleep with dreams of being Lucky Pierre between you and 95.I guess I need to remind you of the start here. Here is my "Primary Point" :
"As usual, you are NOT reading correctly. I stated that Biden's policies of allowing a flood of immigrants to come into the country CONTRIBUTED to a shortage of housing, particularly lower income housing."
Please note that YOU are the one that referred to hemorrhoid's, and for some bizarre reason you deduced that I was blaming illegal immigration on my hemorrhoids. Where the Hell did that leap of logic come from? And as I will have to point out again, my word was "contributed". I did not and do not now equate contribute to the problem with being THE cause of the problem, as you are attempting to do. So the fact remains that the flood of immigrants means there are more people in the country, meaning the demand for housing increases.
Now, I will again note your attempt to deflect away from this basic point by asking where the illegals are actually getting the house, throwing W2's into the mix, etc. Who gives a **** about that stuff, entirely different discussion. Whether someone does or does not have a W2 matter, it does not affect the demand for housing. Disregarding those that are intentionally homeless, every person has a need for housing, whether they have a W2, a drivers license, military ID, student ID, a bank account, etc. They need housing, and the more bodies in an area then the more demand for housing there is.
In other important news, the doc did confirm that I am, uh....I mean have a perfect asshole. Hooray for that, shouldn't need to ever do it again. I know everyone was so worried for me!
You all know who Lucky Pierre is, right? Middle man in a 3 man buttF***. Thus the term "grinning like a Lucky Pierre". You are all welcome.
Well, thank you very much! That is something I could have happily gone the rest of my life without learning the meaning of. It was bad enough finding out where that poster named Derting Sanchez got his name from. :-(
Some of us have rightly, objectively.
logically, reasonably, rationally, factually, truthfully, honestly, etc, pointed out, broke down BOTH what Rittenhouse did right,
what he wrong, what his intentions were, how he had good intentions, how he served, helped, protected, defended, how he was a stupid, legal cowboy, stupid but legal hero,
how, why he didn't, was not guilty of manslaughter, murder, the ins, outs, evidence, witnesses, what happened, etc.
One can be a TECHNICAL, theoretical hero, AND STUPID, IDIOTICAL, at the SAME TIME.
Pointing all that out, is not absolute lunacy, and is not being one sided, sticking to their side, team, etc.
It's being fair, objective, balanced, etc.
If I, and others were so one sided, etc, as you claim, would we point out the good and bad? No, I, others, we would tell, point out how perfect, etc, we supposedly thought Rittenhouse was, is, etc.
This is comparable to how I, others, we point out the BAD, GOOD, etc, of Nixon, Carter, Bill Clinton, Hillary, Obama, Biden, Trump, Abortion issue, etc, and BOTH sides, do what you did, and wrongfully accuse of being divisive, dogmatic, etc, everything you wrongfully said, accused, etc.
The reality is that instead of me, others being divisive, dogmatic, one sided, close minded, you and others like you on, about Rittenhouse are being one sided, divisive, dogmatic, close minded, buying into the libtard propaganda media spin machine, and unwilling to listen, understand, etc, the logic, reason, facts, evidence, truth, etc, and have closed off your mind, have already mad up your mind, right or wrong, and are rejecting everything that goes against your side, your mind, etc.
If that was not right, so, then you, and others like you would see, understand both how Rittenhouse was right and wrong, legal, but was being stupid at times, how he had good intentions, served, helped people, protected, defended, and how he was a untrained kid, that took unnecessary, stupid, but legal risk, how he was both a stupid technical, theoretical stupid cowboy hero and stupid at same time, how he did not manslaughter, how he did not murder, etc.
You and others like you are the divisive, dogmatic, one-sided, non objective, close minded, etc, on, about Rittenhouse, etc.
The one that kills me is KAG. Wouldn’t that imply that Biden “kept” it great? The jokes write themselves.

Well at least you realized the bizarreness of my hemorrhoid claim but you don't get bizarre claims about the reason housing is not affordable.I guess I need to remind you of the start here. Here is my "Primary Point" :
"As usual, you are NOT reading correctly. I stated that Biden's policies of allowing a flood of immigrants to come into the country CONTRIBUTED to a shortage of housing, particularly lower income housing."

The reason I bring up paystubs is because landlords in the areas you referred to are renting to what I would guess you consider illegals. To get housing you have to prove you can pay. That is the reason w 2 and paystubs are important. How do illegals get to rent without this documentation?
I understand supply and demand. Oil companies cut supply, demand stays the same, prices go up. GAS prices go up, 50 year high in profits for oil companies that took advantage of covid. Gas prices go up, costlier to take eggs to the market. Then because there is demand for eggs grocery stores charge more, in an environment where their profits were at a 50 year high.
But I digress. Apple growers are giving illegals sanctuaries and supplying places to live. These are urban areas where housing is not affordable. These are the rural areas.
My contractor who gutted my house last summer used Russians to replace my windows. The previous contractor was a two man crew who was suppose to remodel my house. He was my client. He was going to take 6 weeks to replace 23 windows. The cost was 40k.
When the new contractor came on his Russians charged a total of 27 k and installed in three days. The Russians lived in Auburn and traveled an hour and 30 minutes each way to the job.
The demo were Mexicans. Demed the house in one day.
Drywallers....they were Mexican, the tile guy was from Brazil. The electricians were from Bulgaria.
So the general and I get into a political discussion, and his big issue was immigration above all else. I started to chuckle. We were half way through the job and I said since you feel that strongly, have your subs show me that you subbed out to all legal residence of the US. He looked at me with a look of horror. Yes, I am sure there were very hard working subs and their employees and not all were legal. So the hypocrisy as I pointed out to him was staggering.
Then I asked him what if on my job I pulled an Agent Orange(who screwed more blue collar workers than Stormy Daniels), and said I was leveraged too high and paid him and his subs through a BK court 10 cents on the dollar.? He said we would have problems. Interesting what happens when it happens to someone else versus himself. Cant make this stuff up.
I am all ears. Give me data that shows why it is a stupid statement and I will be more than happy to state it was stupid..
Cause they were a major holder in a mortgage company and ran it into the ground?
Oh then show me the data .
If the farmers dont offer them work and if the farmer or landlords pay for housing then they are the problem . If there are no jobs the illegals are coming in.
But as to housing feel free not to give me just supply and demand theory but give me hard facts .
Cause data I have about the three large counties in western washington don't come close to supporting your contentions
This applies to the point ( supports the incompetence theory being floated)

Two things can be true at same time. She may like DEI.
And then the dudes on the roof, the dudes on the ground screwed up and had zip to do with DEI
Because as an investor building houses, I can tell you where some of them have gone and how point A opens point B.
I know first hand where certain rental properties in Seattle are now at that weren't rental before.
I can also tell you with direct family and friends working in the Seattle area school districts that the blanket statement you made was just flat out wrong and dumb.
ZERO is different than SOME Ed.
Your post reminds me of clips from The View
Again any stats? Did you say you invested in rentals ? Is it your practice to rentbto people who dont have verifiable income and credit?
FWIW, I work in the engineering industry and I design the infrastructure for new home subdivisions. I work with builders and developers every single day. One of the biggest problems that we are facing is that builders and developers are putting in thousands of duplexes instead of single family homes because they can extract monthly profits from them for years. An average home where I live yields around $50k profit for a builder. They can generate $30k per year revenue from every duplex they build.
When I tried to buy a house in Las Vegas in 2013 for my parents to live in, I was competing against cash offers from private equity companies that were willing to pay over market at the time. Private equity firms investing in residential real estate is bad for everyone but the builders.

Polls are actually showing now (more and more) that undecideds who lean democrat are more likely to vote for someone - anyone - who isn’t Joe.
Unfortunately, that probably means Kamala. Or maybe it just means the Dems are conceding 2024 and hoping for 2028.
Sounds inevitable NYTimes.WaP and WSJ all reporting - and that Pelosi is the main driving force to push him out.
I confused feeble old man down, one feeble-minded incompetent old fart bag to go.
It seems the people behind this are using the press to help nudge Biden

I believe that if they put Kamala out in front, folks would eventually warm up to her.
She obviously would be more alert and "on point" and could articulate a case against trump that would galvanize the Dems main voting block at the moment - women.
Apparently polls show that a handful of alternatives to Biden would poll 3-5% better (which would flip all those swing states) and Harris is one of those "handful", although the lowest polling one. I think she would eventually overcome those deficits when up against trump.
Again, Republicans should hope Biden stays in. Taihtsat
Yeah, I’ve seen mixed reports on which Dem polls higher, but they’re all within the margin of error. And none have been updated since Saturday.
Trump will get a bump with the RNC and the assassination attempt but that may not last. Can’t imagine real conservatives and moderates will view Vance favorably - dude is a PoS
I think trump missed a huge opportunity here with naming Vance.
Kristi Noem would have been much more impactful and interesting. Taihtsat
Oh yeah. The ASPCA would have jumped all over that endorsing her. And the Humane Society. And the Wyoming/Montana Coalition for Protecting Cute Goats Caught in the Barbed Wire Society
There is no warmth to Kamala. Smartest one out there but she doesnt have ability to perform and entertain.
I think no one wants to touch her with a 10 foot pole after the dog thing. That’s something a lot of people of all stripes would never forgive her for.
Only thing I can guess is that he’s intended to deliver the Midwest/rust belt states. I don’t think he’ll do much to deliver the female vote.
You want a woman president to be yo mama or the boss? Seriously. That’s kind of weird. You want her to juggle? Act like a buffoon like Trump for laughs? I don’t think so.

Far from the first.
Besides, isn’t a high protein diet good for brain development?
You’re missing the point Loyal. 4 months of lots of looking at Kristi Noem. Of course then you’d probably have another first for Rs…what do you do when your president sexually assaults your vice president?
