YOU NEED TO FEEL LIKE YOU ARE BETTER THAN SOMEBODY

Why the fuck are you screaming?

Stormy Daniels is a sideshow. Let’s focus on the REAL Trump scandals.

TDS, of course.

Love the new nick.

Slavery and Jim Crow were Democratic Programs.

Eliminating Paternalism created a huge jump in child abuse, child poverty, a near-freeze in upward mobility for poor kids. Since 3rd wave Feminism, Women are the most unhappy they've been.

POC is a racist term that deliberately excludes Whites and allows for anti-White Racism under the guise of Justice for shit that happened in the past, or shit that other White People had nothing to do with (ie Belgian Colonialism in the Congo or Britain in India has jack shit to do with the USA). It also implies that all POCs are allies, which the Kashmir Border or the Kurd-Turkish conflict or Korean-Japanese relations in history or Black Africans vs. Arabs/Persians should quickly inform that it's bullshit.

Anybody who uses POC is an open and Ignorant Brainwashed Racist

Bottomline is that unless the home is bought with cash, that a home is not affordable if the monthly total housing costs (principal+interest+taxes+insurance+hoa fees+emergency repairs) are 40% more than the household's gross monthly income. This applies to the "middle" class purchasing a home that is 3 to 5 times their annual household income.

Say what?

I'd be surprised if most of the "right wingers" here actually consume that much Fox news. Outside of a Chicago Bears game during the fall/winter, I cannot remember the last time I've watched any Fox station, local or national... and I'm not right wing.

Getting hung up on the news source for either side is getting pretty nauseating anyway. These networks have picked a path, they're going down that path to earn revenue and make money. It really has nothing to do with actual news. Hence why I don't watch much of it. None of it is balanced. Much of it is not accurate and is clickbait (viewer bait) and is not worth watching.

These legacy media companies are hanging on by a thread to the boomer demographic that 50% of can even retire in the foreseeable future. But it sells ads because this idea that they have the money. They literally don't and are trying to conserve every dollar now that their health is starting to go. Ratings will plummet for all these networks if they don't figure this out. I'd say that's a good thing as long as a google or facebook doesn't fill the void.

I would love a few "Sirius XM" style websites... offering Youtube/Podcasts for $10-20/month, with moderate ads and a portion of the take being distributed to the more popular hosts.

They would openly publish opaque rules, like "No porn" or "No F words" so content producers wouldn't be victimized by SFBA Tech Assholes.

Sargon, Styx, Crowder, and the rest could move over there.

That being said, it must be a hard transition for the Left to realize they're the oppressive Status Quo.

They really think one news channel whose average viewer is 62 or whatever, makes up for 90% of other media, from CNN to WaPo to NYT to MSNBC to CBS News, is responsible for Trump and the "Rise in White Supremacy" or "Toxic Masculinity" or whatever BS Fad Fearmongering Term they're using.

TDS is real folks.

If a household's gross monthly income is $5,000 then they should not buy a home or rent a home that costs more than $2,000 per month. That is what I was referring to as far as housing costs per month.

What is it wrong with the original statement above ?

"Housing costs more than 40% than the households gross monthly income" literally means they are paying 140% of their gross monthly income. What you wanted to say is "housing costs more than 40% of the households gross monthly income".

If the fed had interest rates at 6% I guarantee there would be no housing crisis.

Okay, I apologize as it should have been written as "more than 40% of household gross monthly income".

It really is. Today at the office, my liberal coworker who sits next to me had a TDS bout. It was quiet, and we could hear another worker down the hall talking to someone else about the Mueller report, and how it was a big flop etc....

My libby coworker took a real deep breath and exhaled in a shaky, angry, breathe. Just overhearing someone else mention that "his side" failed made him almost lose it. haha

It's sad that he's still blinded, and still thinks russian collusion was real despite the obvious outcome.

Is any of this getting through to you low self esteem losers? Well is it?

Jazz why are you fixated on these white supremacists attacks? This is a 1 in 20 million crazy person.

31 murders in chicago happened in July alone, more than many years worth of these freaks.

Per capita, white people commit far less murders and less terrorism.

Ask yourself why you are fixated on these rare incidents. Are you Jewish?

Jewish people are a target worldwide again. White supremacists are one of many concerns for the Jewish community, albeit WS is dwarfed by the others.

Trump is no messiah. But it is nice to have a leader working for us instead of himself.

Even then, that seems like its cutting very close financially. Utilities, groceries, car payments? How much is this person investing or putting back into their Roth/401k/etc?

I know young professionals in Chicago who make $75k/yr and rent 1br's for $2600/month.

That is $500 more than my mortgage for a 5 bedroom house in Carlsbad, CA with peak ocean views and a phenomenal school district.

Eight years ago, we were renting a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house in Pacific Beach 4 blocks from the ocean for $1,800/month.

I was in the Midwest last week visiting family and was surprised at the high costs of some of the new homes. Granted, these were big (4,500 square foot) homes on a golf course - but a couple of them were nearly $2 million not including HOA and resort fees! Even now, you could get a very nice big home near the ocean in San Diego County for less that that.

Hair looks dirty and looks drugged out, poor life choices living in a liberal city. Rats by me don't come out during the day they know their place and stay out of site if they step out of line they get killed by black and white cat on patrol.

Annnddd more bi-partisan BS overshadows the real problems yet again.

For those who care, stop popping prescription meds like they're candy, and learn self-defense, including the use of a firearm.

For the rest of you false paradigm losers, continue dancing on victims graves, you sick, pathetic hypocrites.

I bet you believe that owners should be responsible for their dog's actions, right?

So, if you don't let somebody from a totally different neighborhood move into your house, though he has a home however humble of his own, you are going to hell. And of course pay his medical bills, food costs, put him up in a home, even though it distracts from helping other poor people native to the neighborhood.

Long Repeated Leftist Argument that is more stale than re-runs of Happy Days:

Leftists do little else besides covet, steal, and commit adultery.
Loving your neighbor as yourself means that you also love yourself enough to respect your own needs and property. It doesn’t mean you have to give up what you have to anyone else for the asking. It means you should treat others how you would want to be treated. I don’t want people to be forced to give me their money to support my lazy behavior, so I wouldn’t support a policy that gives them MY money to support their lazy behavior!

The only passage relevant to the discussion is this one:
“Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:27‬ ‭ASV‬‬

Which seems to mean two things: take care of the widows and the orphans, (which our society and many many charities do) and don’t go around believing and acting on all the crap people dream up as some sort of “new morality.”

If you support the separation of children from their families

You mean like when their parents commit criminal acts and go to jail? Or if CPS is called on a family and the kids get taken away until the parents can prove that they aren’t deranged axe murderers? That kind of separation? Happens all the time to Americans. Not even a partisan thing.

Here’s a real example: my sister is divorced from her first husband, and a few years back he made a serious play for full custody. This involved making a call in the evening to CPS to claim that the kids were in danger with my sister and her new husband. Police came to their door and forcibly took the boys, gave them no options, and held the kids in custody for a week before giving them to their dad full time. All based on nothing but a lie. It took almost a year and many thousands in lawyer fees for my sister to navigate the process of getting them back. So there you have it. Child separation happening and society praising it.
Awesome.
