You see how you equate a violent terrorist group to trump supporters?

I did not do that. IT's you that equate me with the violent left. IT feeds in to your dishonest narrative. CBOEtrader says

ou, sir, are part of the problem. Look in the mirror and blame yourself for trump.

Easier to say that than to admit your real reasons for voting for Trump.

CBOEtrader says

Today's left is the most terrifying, disgusting, tyrannical group I've seen in my lifetime. You are one step from being full blown nazis

Nominated. All time stupidist thing ever said on Patrick.net.

I guess since there really is almost no left in government anymore, let's get all worried about a few hundred children protesting at colleges and a few incidents of near violence breaking out. Meanwhile our entire congress is owned by corporations and banks. We're more and more of an oligarchy. You're really going to worry about a few idiots on the extreme left ?

Why don't you share with us the most tyrannical policies brought upon us by this disgusting left.

After that maybe explain why Prisons, Health care and schools should be run for profit and why deficits that allow lower taxes for corporations and the rich are always better than a government paying for what it spends.

First of all, I am a black man. This movement is repulsive, and that killer is probably burning in hell now. Thank God for President Trump and his support for law enforcement! God bless and thank you to all LEOs and first responders. America loves you. And pray the Black lives matter movement sizzles with the Democratic party. How pathetic and weak is a person to defend such a radical racist hate group as this. Black lives matter is racist. In reality, all lives matter. Get that in your media brainwashed heads all you BLM supporters.

Ironman says

Really?? When was the last time $4.5 TRILLION was printed in such a short time? When was the last time rates were held at close to zero percent for years? Please show me the charts.

Never in the history of mankind.

IF only Ironman were smart enough to ask himself the question, how and why can interest rates be held at zero percent, with trillions of QE on top of that, without causing inflation ?

Ironman says

So, two years of a flat line market without QE is "consolidation"?? Really??

Yes, when the S&P goes up more than 1000 points and then goes sideways for a couple years (instead of back down), many knowledgeable people would call that consolidation. But look, sometimes it's just too late to learn.

I'll ask you again: why don't you bake cookies and sell them WITHOUT stealing the Girl Scout branding. You can then donate all the money to the Girl Scouts or anyone else you so desire.

I'll ask you again: Why should Girl Scouts not be able to bake their own Girl Scout cookies?

Who produces Girl Scout cookies?

AITMOAFU's

Putin Fanboy says

The Girl Scout Cookie branding belongs the the Girl Scouts of America, not the little girls. Like you, the little girls have done nothing in regards to cultivating and maintaining the brand.

Lol, they are the Girl Scouts of America.

But anyway, you seem to have misunderstood the proposal. I don't care what the cookies are called. I just want Girl Scouts to have the right to bake their own cookies and sell them instead of supporting a corporation.

Here's a real estate website that stayed true to itself and is still highly relevant, unlike Patrick.net which has devolved to nothing more that a haven for racism and misogyny.

https://piggington.com/

Patrick.net comprised entirely of bitter, angry, white males and the content is entirely racist, misogynistic, or pornographic. Why would Patrick (or anyone else for that matter) want their name associated with such garbage?

Comments like yours (the face of your party) is exactly why you Democrats lost. Constantly calling everyone racist who disagrees with you. You hate white folk, and this is why you lost the house, the congress, and the white house.

I'm still trying to figure out what he/she/it doesn't like about Patnet.

Yes, I don't quite get it either.

Things to think about: how to take back America from corporate rulership. Some people have been thinking about this for years now.

Someone, please remind the Pink Panther that communism failed a long time ago.

What relevance does the fall of communism have to the ever increasing plutocracy of America?

This of course assumes that america wants to escape corporate rulership.
Given the other world alternatives, you better be careful what you wish for...

HOW TO TAKE BACK AMERICA FROM CORPORATE RULERSHIP

Like the oecd's awful socialist countries where you get 6-8 weeks paid vacation a year, higher education, and health care?

So easy to take America back from your desk while hitting the flask every now and again.

All ways requiring concerted actions by human beings will fail because it is just too easy to manipulate people, turn them on each other and watch them as they bicker on message boards - while you rob them blind.

Communism ended not because of opposite ideas (capitalism and the like). No, it ended because these ideas were put in practice and then pushed to their ultimate conclusions. No one liked the consequences. Then they were discarded.

The same needs to happen to capitalism.

The problem people should think about is not how to throw out the current system, but rather what to put in its place. Because right now we don't have a good replacement candidate.

Should've brought a toddler with him. Makes all your demands instantly valid.

@"jazz music" the answer is publicly financed congressional campaigns.

There are plenty of people with integrity would would run and win if they could only get the financing without selling out. Publicly financed campaigns is the way to do that.

But of course no one in congress is going to vote for publicly financed campaigns, because every single one of them was elected under the corporately financed campaign system we have now.

probably did it on purpose so he could sue and get a million bucks??

If one wanted to fight the corporations, the most expedient way would be to unionize the buyer.
Organize and form purchasing groups in every city.
Direct purchases of products from manufacturers that espouse your world view.
Given the varied communicative options, this may not seem as wild as it looks.

Let me know when Trump sends ISIS 4 pallets of cash.

Turkey has been shelling both Kurdish fighters of the Popular Protection Units (YPG) and so-called Islamic State inside northern Syria.

The YPG are widely regarded as one of the most effective forces in the fight against IS and attacks on them have prompted calls from the UN, US and EU for Turkey to show restraint.

Ankara says it is retaliating against what it calls provocations by the YPG but it has long warned against the group making territorial advances in northern Syria near its border.

Glad we're arming the Kurds, the largest ethnicity without it's own state.

Erdogan's being a little bitch and the Kurds have been the most effective force against ISIS

Better to arm the Kurds and let them fight ISIS. Nothing good happens if we end up doing the fighting.

Lashkar_i_Trumpi says

I've always been for arming the Kurds and saying FU to Sultan Tayyip. I even called for Turkey to be ejected from NATO. Read the article; it discusses how Erdogan wanted action against the Kurds and didn't see ISIS as a threat while his son was making a fortune smuggling ISIS oil in huge truck convoys that Obama wouldn't bomb (I think once in a whole year they did, after 24-hours warning by leaflet).

He's too much of a sphincter suck to admit that.

Our only true ally in the ME is Saudi Arabia, according to the Trumpcucks

I'm done trying to apply logic to the market. Without any honest effort to create more housing in the 1200 to 2000sqft range, every house in America will be as expensive as an Italian villa in a historic town eventually. Even the shit hole I bought in 2010 for 160K Zillow says is now worth 320K.
It shouldn't be worth a penny over 120K and wouldn't be if there was more housing stock built. And don't say we're out of room. South Florida builds about 6,000 new units a year. They are all over 350K range. Mostly in the millions.

Anyone else here going to white flight from CA soon? What is your prediction about CA residential RE prices?

40% jump in California RE prices in the next 5 years. Don't sell, just rent it out if you must move. I have been a super bull since end of 2011.
I am a little disappointed in So Cal RE prices in the last 5 years. I expected a bigger jump.

Once kids are done with with school wife and I will probably leave. It's funny because my wife was left leaning before she got into social work now she is further right than I am in some areas. Same with most of our family and friends they all have gone or are going to. If we hadn't bought at bottom we would already be gone, screw struggling to pay $2000 plus for renting a small 2 bedroom apartment.

In the next 30 years I can see things getting more extreme with wealthy gated areas surrounded by poor areas within the large counties. At some point raising taxes and chasing companies out of California has to cause a collapse.

I sold that house(250k net profit) 2 years ago and bought a small condo which is now up 200k.

So I'm up 450k in 7 years(tax free too). I'm going to sell this condo now to take advantage of the 2 year tax free cap gains rules to cash this shit in before the next 'happening'.
