NEWSFLASH: Trump is a Republican, not a third party candidate.

A correct description would be.......Trump is a third party candidate who hijacked the Republican party.

Strategist says

Don't blame the opinions of individuals on Patrick.

So if I buy a piece of property an invite racists, Nazis, and the Westboro Baptist Church over and give them free rein, it's not my fault?

Duh. EVERYTHING on this website belongs to and is condoned by PATRICK. HE IS THE OWNER.

They certainly do not have free reign

Patrick empowered you to have the absolute power to remove them from your existence. Put them on ignore, and they cease to exist. Cry about having to share your right to Free Speech, and you empower them!

You're not the brightest tool in the shed, jackass

Dennis Baughn says

Terrorism relies EXACTLY on that: terror and fear.

Everyone should fear Islamic terrorism. The damage caused to innocent lives and the economy is extraordinary.
People like you who are foolishly sympathetic to the worst religion on the planet need to get some education.

Dennis Baughn says

Even an idiot knows you can't build a 2000 mile wall to defend against people who want to pick lettuce. Think about it. A 2000 MILE WALL.

I guess you you have never heard of an even longer "Great Wall of China" built in primitive times to keep invaders out.
We need lettuce pickers. They should come in legally. It's the criminals we do not need.

Dennis Baughn says

I am not afraid of terrorists.

Dennis Baughn says

I say let them come HERE

Dennis Baughn says

Strategist says

Everyone should fear Islamic terrorism.

Don't tell me to live in fear, buddy. That's YOUR choice, not MINE.

I'm not just talking about lives, but the economic loss to us too. 911 cost us like hell if you account for the wars it created. We have to put an end to terrorism, it's not a choice.

FP says

Instead of buying, Patrick invested the down payment money ($100,000) in AAPL at 50c/share (adjusted price).

I invested $1.00 on a lottery ticket, and got back $100,000,000.00

You missed the point.

Dennis Baughn says

When asked why he changed this site to a "free speech" (read racism) format, Patrick said he was "tired of talking about real estate."

Congratulations Dennis, I feel I'm fairly tolerant and can give-and-take with the best of them. I've only got one person on ignore, I'm adding you to that exclusive club.

Dennis Baughn says

Wait till the 13 million people who voted for him find out they've been DEFRAUDED too.

On some level, they know it, even now. But it still feels good for some reason to be sticking it to the liberals. They have to live with it too.

Admits fraud? Or just settled.

Because if Trump settling = guilt, then Clinton admits he's a sex offender because he settled with Paula Jones.

Hi Dennis, you know you're very welcome here. Everyone is, and that's the whole point. I could delete your account, but I don't. Why not?

I'm not condoning any particular opinion by refusing to censor the site. I'm simply letting everyone say what they want to, including even you.

It doesn't even make sense to say I'm condoning everything on the site, because so many of the opinions are completely contradictory. Do I support both sides all the time?

Of course I condone what I myself write. I took my own advice and rented because all rent-vs-buy calculators told me to. You are also responsible for your own decisions, are you not?

Don't worry about my finances, I'm doing fine. I've done the calculations many times, and came out even by being mostly invested in the stock market. If I had bought a house and happened to hit the jackpot purely by luck in timing and location, I'd still only have about as much money as I do now and far less flexibility. I like having completely liquid assets.

SODA sucked, but that's my worst stock pick, and just about the only one that does not pay a dividend. I don't believe I ever recommended it. I even explicitly questioned whether it was a mistake if you look at the original post. Index funds have been doing fine for me, and some of my individual picks did pretty damn well. I picked LUV at just the right moment and it went on to be the best performing stock in the S&P that year. It was mostly luck, but hey, I'll take it. I still own SODA too and love their business model. They seem to be doing OK lately:

I hope you continue to enjoy the site. If you didn't get some enjoyment out of it, you wouldn't keep posting. It's nice to have both pro and anti Trump views here too.

Dennis Baughn says

Bush created the Gulf War by invading Iraq, which had absolutely NOTHING to do with 9/11 and basically CREATED ISIS.

BTW, we agree about that. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

ISIS was created by and continues to be funded by Saudi Arabia.

Women seem to self-select out of anonymous forums in general. I think they just don't like overt conflict as much as men do. Certainly women are welcome here, and there are still a few women on patrick.net, according to Google Analytics:

Dennis Baughn says

If EVERYONE is welcome here, why is your site almost EXLUSIVELY white males?

I don't give a fuck what anyone here looks like. Apparently YOU DO. That's racist.

I was reading condone in the sense of "approve". I don't approve of everything on the site, and as I said before, that would be impossible because so many of the views are contradictory.

Is your goal to get me to censor other readers based on your personal disapproval?

Hey Dennis, if Trump really is a Typical NY liberal, than why are you complaining about him so much? You should fucking love that!

Dennis Baughn is Jesus Christ.
Don't fuck with him...

Where are all these racist, sexist, misogynist KKK posts you speak of?

I don't see them

Dennis Baughn says

Apparently your low-carb high-weed lifestyle has affected you. Are you REALLY this STUPID?

Here is some typical "free speech discourse" I found in about 30 seconds of looking.

Don't put me and others in the same category as the Original Bankster. He is a true racist.

Dennis Baughn says

My goal is to provide a free and open discussion of what this site has become, and the sort of filth you willingly provide a canvas for.

The American constitution also allows for the same freedom of speech as Patrick does. Should we get rid of the constitution?

Dennis Baughn says

Trump admits FRAUD, pays out 25 MILLION

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them. - Bruce Lee

That's one of Trump's many great qualities as a leader...he can unite both sides and reach across the aisle.

Dennis Baughn says

Only four short days and Trump has already broken two MAJOR campaign promises:

1. He will NOT be throwing Hillary Clinton in jail, appointing a special prosecutor, or other such nonsense.

http://www.app.com/story/news/politics/new-jersey/chris-christie/2016/11/10/christie-says-trump-not-prosecute-clinton/93583546/

2. He will NOT be repealing the Affordable Healthcare Act. Turns out he's actually quite fond of it.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/11/politics/donald-trump-obamacare-interview/index.html

Hang on to your seats, more flip-flopping to come!

It takes a big man to have an open mind to change his opinions. All of this speaks to Trump's great qualities as a leader.

I'm impressed with Trump's agility in decision-making. He must have learned so much in the last few years (since that interview) to have changed his views about border control. That's the sign of a true leader.

You're known by the company you keep, pal.

And here you still are

Hold off on buying a house in CA then? I also think a recession is around the corner given the Trump presidency, potentially rising rates, and this cycle being long in the tooth.

Lots of rewriting the "news". Trump did not admit fraud, although one Bloomberg reported said he did!

http://fakenews.news/2016/11/19/fake-news-alert-bloomerg-cites-non-existent-trump-tweet/

just any guy says

Hold off on buying a house in CA then?

If rates hold up here or go higher by spring selling season, then CA housing will be soft.

And you are? Who? I've never heard of you. Why are you important? Why do you believe your opinion is worth two turds? Newsflash dickwad, we don't care what you think. You've hijacked our regular banter with this attack on the FORUM instead of the ideas expressed. If you don't like free speech, go suck your buddy Kim Jong Uhn's ass in the socialist paradise he runs.

Ironman says

Did you see how crooked Trump's arm was in that picture??

What kind of work do you do Ironman? This girl has one arm the length of a gorilla.

Her right arm to the elbow is two feet long.

Yeah, I see the garbage truck comin around the corner....don't forget your gloves...

Dennis Baughn says

Not for long. My work here is almost done :)

Logan,

If I read your chart right it seems like the next decade has this big lump of young people turning into new home buyers, causing more housing demand. How does this wave of demand align with the other lump on the other side(baby boomers), who I'm guessing will be croaking at about the same time, freeing up housing units?

Den-Den is trying to troll and seems to be a failure.
What if economic geniuses had invested in Home Depot,Apple,Microsoft ,etc.,etc.?
They have become so rich they don't post on patnet,better things to do.

"My goal is to provide a free and open discussion..." & when my feelings are hurt I criticize free speech & those sites that support freedom.
Criticism can't be condemned when it's is spoken by the brilliant.

I don't think your work here is done at all. I enjoy your trolling very much. Some of your points I've never seen or heard before. You, sir are a true ground breaker. Seriously new ideas here, AND consistent too! Patrick could we pin this gem of a thread to the top of the site?

One last thing Dennis, may I have your permission to reproduce some of your posts? I've taken the trouble to print them out at a greatly enhanced size for my study wall. Whereupon I expect to gaze at them regularly when in need of inspiration.

Let's keep this thread alive!

c1561490 says

(baby boomers), who I'm guessing will be croaking at about the same time, freeing up housing units?

This is a theme a lot people have been using for a massive push up in supply for some time

Harry Dent crowd is predicting a massive 42%-67% decline in home prices based on this thesis

However, natural supply post 1996 ... has kept inventory under 6 months outside of 1 period

2006-2011 ... Feb of 2006 was the first time in the recent 20 year period that we got over 6 months of supply.

The recent economic conference I went to, the 2nd panel I was speaking at was all about the future of home prices with economist and other data analyst. We all have our own models.

However, the one that I can show later when I get the video and article written up

Post 1996 due to big price deviation gains has prevented move up buyers from moving more freely because it's hard to catch a higher price with more net equity

So, longer owners is a theme keeps supply at bay... housing starts shouldn't have been taken off in this cycle ...due to the lack of real strong demand.

Heh, Heh, the fleshlight thread was one of the funniest on Patnet, definitely a Patnet Classic.
