Joe Ferguson forever

anyone not directly benefitting from MAGA's plans has every right to claim intellectual superiority. How do you expect to benefit? Will deporting immigrants make your life better? Tariffs? Subjugating women? RFK with no medical training or education acting as head of multiple health agencies? And there are garbage heaps of immorality, unethical behavior and stupidity in MAGA.

And sacrificed her political career for her ideals. MAGAs don't have ideals. They have cartoons and memes that trigger anger and idolatry.

yup. if trump wins and Elon gets his way, I'll need to talk to my financial advisor about safe havens. it'll be an economic bloodbath for everyone except billionaires; they'll have inside information. so sad that there are so many stupid Americans but trump loves the uneducated don't ya know? this is why. I'm betting they're not discussing this on bongino or hannity etc. And on Tuesday, Musk reiterated the anticipated economic pain from the plan. In response to an X user who wrote that spending cuts would cause a “severe overreaction in the economy” and that “markets will tumble,” before the U.S. emerges on “sounder footing,” Musk responded, “Sounds about right.” was your walmart bill 60% higher?

those struggling now will be hurt the most by a 60% increase on cheap, imported Chinese goods due to tariffs..

then trump is not a billionaire? He's leveraged to the teeth. Much of his wealth is real estate. Homes are the most valuable asset for most Americans. Of course they're an indication of relative wealth. They're the single most important indicator for most Americans.

and then there's the very possible scenario that the house value increases at around the historical average, the loan is paid off in 5 or 10 years and the owner remains in it afterwards. Home prices have increased significantly in recent years. Between April 2021 and April 2022, home values nationally rose 18.8%, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency. That is higher than historical averages. Since 1991, the average annual home price increase has been 4.3%, according to the FHFA. Since 2000, the average rate has been 4.7%. And since 2012, the average rate has been 7.7%. Home price appreciation can also vary significantly from state to state. In the first quarter of 2022, home values in Florida were up more than nearly 30% compared to the year before, according to the FHFA State House Price Indexes, the fastest rise of any state. In the state with the slowest home appreciation, North Dakota, values were up about 10%. Between 1940 and 2000, the average home value quadrupled even when adjusted for inflation. Home values increased in each decade during that period, with a high of 43% in the 1970s and a low of 8% in the 1980s. Home values fell between 2007 and 2010, during the Great Recession.

now do a fat, ugly one with a grab my pu$$y shirt on...

seems like a whole lotta lenders are bucking the trend. there are plenty advertising right now.

and yet, you discarded the idea out of hand the first time. of course there's risk. the property taxes will be the same regardless of the loan. the extra cash can help pay it. "Home equity is an asset that if used, needs to be replaced, at much higher cost unless downsizing". care to add ":under certain circumstances"?

no. we know they're not like liberal women. We also know that there are more women than men. And that more of them are voting for Harris than trump. that suggests that either more women are voting secretly for Harris or more don't care what their husbands think or that the sum of women married to liberal leaning husbands or are unmarried is greater than those married to maga's like you.

For simplicity, say you outright own a $100k home. since 2019, it increased in value to 150k. you borrow against that 50k windfall at 8%. Meanwhile your house appreciates at 5% (conservatively). so you pay 4000/yr for interest on your loan while your equity increase $5000/yr. you do even better if you can get more than 8% in the market. This is not a new strategy. trump uses it often.

yes, it includes non liquid assets. houses are still assets that can fuel purchasing power. let's say 50 of that 55k increase is in a primary residence. borrowing against part or all of that at low interest rates (soon to be lower) without losing any equity in comparison to 2019 levels ight be a wise strategy. wealth is wealth. it's better to have 50k more than not.

well the median American is up $51k since 2019 average American wealth is over 1 mil. Seems like a pretty good economy for most. $1,063,700 The average American net worth is $1,063,700, as of 2022. Net worth averages increase with age from $183,500 for those 35 and under to $1,794,600 for those 65 to 74. Net worth, however, tends to drop for those 75 and older. money.usnews.com › money › personal-finance What Is the Average American Net Worth by Age? - U.S. News The median net worth of Americans in 2022 was $192,700, according to the Federal Reserve. That's a $51,555 increase from 2019, roughly a 37% jump and the largest recorded since the Fed began collecting this data in 1989. (Data is in 2022 dollars.)

kirk and cernovich are freaking out. awesome. https://www.yahoo.com/news/maga-bros-freaking-because-many-145548643.html

The graph was purposefully misleading re timeline. Couldn't nail down the cause immediately. Sometimes I amended EKG readings after my initial dictation. Sometimes I edit posts here. Sometimes, I'm actually wrong. But not this time.

hilarious. is maga going to burn her with the books.

could 3 southern states go Harris (Va, NC and Ga)? yup, they could. That would be cool. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/31/politics/cnn-poll-georgia-north-carolina/index.html

is this a joke? are you alright. they're not sending their finest people to PPP.

the x axis starts 6 am oct 29th for both red and blue plots. the msg rally was oct 28th. AP reported on Hinchcliffe's insult at 12:05 pm that day. It would be nice to see the data from then til 6 am on oct 29th. conversely, the red line is present on the graph before, during and after the Biden comment which occurred yesterday afternoon.. to be comparable both lines should have equal timelines. in short, this graph is comparing apples to oranges re timeline. also strange that searches spiked at midnight for biden's comment.

there are violent radicals on both sides who clash, reminiscent of Germany during the Nazi rise to power (communists vs nazi SA). No one believes this is the mainstream D party no did anyone believe that the German communists represented the establishment.. Many were arrested and served time. Few apologized for them or called for their being pardoned as R's have for Jan 6 traitors. They are mainstream R's as their continued support illustrates.

historically, it's been a good thing excluding horrible movements like nazism.

thank you. what dates were the two garbage comments made relative to the graph. MSG was Oct 28. When was the Biden quote?

it was a race riot. Very common historically, largely because some races have been systematically disenfranchised based only on their race. Some may be D's, some may be R's for the same reasons you and others here R. Few, if any, would likely be categorized by the groups I pointed to as establishment. D's are now the party of the establishment. Even staunch, authentic R leaders recognize that.

yes, because historically the aristocracy, upper class, bourgeois and intelligentsia have been the revolutionaries while the working and lower classes have been peaceful 🙃
