Democrats lied, the Swamp lied, to protect and re-elect a feeble vessel, a Chancey Gardner president. Americans paid the price.

The election was 10 months ago and you're still yapping about JOE BIDEN.

PS. Mortgage Rates have been high (until this last month) because of TRUMPS TARIFFS.

You also appear highly ignorant about how the yield curve works.
You've shown your ignorance on multiple occasions when it comes to how interest rates and the economy work.

More often than not, when short-term rates are reduced by the Fed, the long end of the curve actually increases.
That means mortgage rates, which are largely based off the 10 -year remain high.
Why is that?

Because the long-end of the market is afraid of the stimulative outcome of LOWER RATES.

But you don't appear to be aware of this.
You just keep cut and pasting gibberish from one of your Pro-Trump twitter followers.

Yeah, there are a TON of AMERICANS who have lost jobs to immigrants picking crops, cleaning toilets and doing laundry in hotels, cutting meat in a meatpacking plant, and working in the kitchen of a local restaurant or pizza place.

Your narrative is not reality.
It's completely bogus.

seriously! If you worried about an immigrant taking your job; grab a sharpy and draw a big L on your forehead.

This attitude reeks through the Democratic Party, who think of immigrants (legal or otherwise) as second-class citizens who are put upon this planet to serve at the pleasure of the gragunas and DiabloWags of the world. It's why the Democrats got voted completely out of power because unfortunately for the gragunas and Diablowags of the world, the votes of the folks with the "L on their forehead" count exactly the same as theirs.

In my lifetime, this country has gone from a country where a married couple with a single middle-class income could afford a house, raise a family, and send their kids to college without unusual wealth to a country where a married couple with two middle-class incomes has no hope of being able to afford a house without financial help coming from elsewhere. Those people who you so casually dismiss as losers are the people who serve you at restaurants, who take care of your lawns, who build things, who may have even watched your children at a daycare before they entered elementary school, and who will be wiping the **** off of your wrinkled asses when your brains turn completely to mush (DiabloWags is only mere months away from this) as they change your adult diapers when your kids stick you in a nursing home.

I happily laugh my ass off each day at the pain you morons feel as you feel your country being taken away from you by the people you look down on with such disdain.



Really? I'm an immigrant. My parent were immigrants. Most of my friends are immigrants. We just had an immigrant sleeping in my guest room after her mother died. She stayed until my wife was able to help her find a job, get all her mom's loose ends buttoned up and help her find a living situation.
You dont know me.
What I was referring is the jobs the illegals are filling that no one else wants. Picking lettuce. Cleaning toilets. It's tough being an immigrant; especially with trump in power. I have all respect for them. They have no choice but to do the **** jobs. Who i think is a LOSER is a white american who had every advantage in the world - free education and all the other perks to being an american yet they're competing with illegals for the worst jobs because they were lazy and didnt take advantage of what they were given.
I'm an immigrant who was given $500 at 18, put myself thru CAL working 2 jobs as an out of state student. started a company, employ lots of people, pay lots of taxes. AND I LOVE IMMIGRANTS. I help immigrants. I employ immigrants.
You can't even begin to know who I am.
GO BEARS!

So you're an immigrant who thinks Americans that have to work jobs only available to immigrants are losers, but the immigrants aren't losers for having to work those jobs in the first place. But you assume that the non-immigrants are lazy for having to take those jobs. That's an impressive logic pretzel you've twisted yourself into.

There are lots of jobs out there that are unpleasant. Not all of them are filled by immigrants. There are also lots of people that try to start businesses and it doesn't work out for them and they end up have to take one of those loser jobs that you look down upon. Did all their businesses fail because they were lazy?

And by the way, it was tough for immigrants when Biden was in power too because Democrats love cheap labor every bit as much as Republicans and what drives labor costs down is when the labor force far exceeds the number of jobs available. It was true during Obama's two terms, true during Trump's two terms, and especially true during Biden's disastrous term.

Your sob story doesn't impress me. Your attitude towards those less fortunate than you that you think are losers is what stands out.

Also, while you're trying to impress us with your love of immigrants, I thought you might find it interesting that most immigrants support Trump's hardline stance on immigration, though many do not like the deportations.

I have a front row view to lazy americans. that's much of my wife's family. neither she nor any of her siblings went to college, most of her nieces and nephews never went to college. The one who did is doing just fine The others could have gone to college but the family never set that as an expectation. My wife was hot so her path was barefoot and pregnant. Luckily for her, her and her first husband had a few miscarriages. otherwise she would have been stuck. It's easier and more fun at 18-23 to hit the bars after a dead end job. her nephew had 3 kids before he was 18. he's now competing for those ****ty jobs. As the saying goes - 5 years pleasure, 50 years pain. 5 years pain, 50 years pleasure.
I'm not following the Sob story part- my life's nothing to sob about. I worked hard - could have gone to other colleges for free but chose to struggle to attend CAL because - as they say - 40 year decision. Now I have a great life.
I hope you do to!
Go Bears!

Excellent post!

As a tangent, I grew up riding dirt bikes in the 70's and still follow the sport of Motocross to this day with other similarly aged former riders and racers from the 70's. Invariably, we use Facebook and various Groups on Facebook to keep in touch with our beloved sport.

To a "T", none of these guys ever went to college.
In fact, they were lucky to make it thru their local high school.

And also to a "T", they are Trump supporters.

And 95% of them are also racists, misogynists, and highly homophobic.
Their reading comprehension is stuck at the 6th grade level and they eat up Conspiracy Theories about our government like it's an all-you-can-eat-buffet. Everything is about how you can't trust the govt. Everything is about the Deep State putting a man down. 9/11 was an inside job. So was the death of Charlie Kirk.

But one thing rings even more true for me over time.
The "apple" doesn't fall too far from the "tree".

The lack of basic education in this country is truly troubling.
It's only going to lead to more haves and more have-nots.

Well, if he told you he drives a Trabant, it would narrow the possibilities down quite a bit.

Not at all.
you read a lot into things. and you're generally wrong.

If you look at what I wrote, it is; That's MUCH of my wife's family.
Do you understand the difference between MUCH and ALL?

She was hot, still is.
She is also really smart. I wouldn't have married a dumb chick. So no matter what you say, I'm not marrying you. So stop DMing me those vagina pics.

and not lazy at all.

She wanted to go to college and finally got started at age 48. She first waited for our youngest to get to the age that he didnt need her as much.

She's in her last semester at St Mary's. She'll be graduating with a BS in Psychology in December.

You've mentioned it / asked for it 6 or 7 times. See, you don't grasp the basics.

WHY DOES TRUMP LIE SO MUCH?




Bill Pulte, a Trump appointee to the agency that regulates mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, has accused Cook of signing separate documents in which she allegedly said that both the Atlanta property and a home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, also purchased in June 2021, were both "primary residences." Pulte submitted a criminal referral to the Justice Department, which has opened an investigation.

Fed Governor Lisa Cook claimed 2nd residence as 'vacation home,' undercutting Trump fraud claims

Preliminary Consumer Confidence estimate for September fell to 55.4, down from 58.2 in August.

And over the next 5 years, consumers expect an INFLATION RATE over the next 12 months of 3.9% annually, up from 3 5% a month ago.

Must be Biden's fault.

"Expect" as the MSM narratives tell them that tariffs automatically lead to Inflation, which was disproven in Trump term 1.0.

You continue to promote a narrative that compares apples to oranges and stick your head in the sand with blind ignorance.

Again, you have no idea what you're talking about.

The Trump tariffs in his first term were MINISCULE compared to his second term.

Duh.

Thanks for clarifying that the poster you are replying to AGAIN is harping on consumer expectations, which are media driven.

You're terribly misinformed.

And again show that you have no clue what you're talking about.
All you do is spew erroneous claims that aren't even remotely true.

For example, tariffs on China during Trump's first term were only $50 Billion.
And of course, in May of 2019 Trump said the tariffs are "paid mostly by China, by the way, not us."

Another cool story.
How gullible are you?

You must really enjoy being WRONG all the time.
You're really good at it.


  • Trump-era tariffs "increase consumer costs by roughly $51 billion annually," a 2022 analysis by the American Action Forum, a center-right think tank, said.
  • Trump's first-term tariffs were akin to a $625 per household tax increase per year, a 2025 paper by the Tax Foundation, another center-right group.
