There are millions of people who can capably make a mortgage payment but can't come up with $25K for the down payment because things like exorbitant rents, child care, and student loan debt eat into any opportunity to save. And they can't hit up their parents or grandparents for the money either because they don't have generational wealth. Do these people just need to save until they're 50 to buy a house? 

This man says yes.  Keep renting at Potter's Field until then!

Hmmm, come back to a state where fucksticks in the state leg (Briscoe Cain, anyone) want to effectively test women leaving to make sure they are not pregnant?!? Thanks, but nope. 

That being said, I am going to be in Texas sometime in the fall for work, and then I will be in Houston probably every other month until it gets hot as fuck again.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Quote

Is Donald Trump really trying to get out of debating Kamala Harris again? Or is it the opposite? 

On Thursday, it seemed like the dust had finally settled. “The debate about debates is over,” said Michael Tyler, the Harris campaign communications director, in a statement. “Donald Trump’s campaign accepted our proposal for three debates—two presidential and a vice presidential debate.” 

 

Quote

“Assuming Donald Trump actually shows up on September 10 to debate Vice President Harris, then Governor Walz will see JD Vance on October 1 and the American people will have another opportunity to see the vice president and Donald Trump on the debate stage in October,” the Harris campaign continued. 

But now, Trump’s team claims that the Democrat lied when she said the two sides reached a debate agreement. At the moment, there is only one confirmed debate between the presidential nominees, to be held September 10 by ABC News.

 

Quote

Nevertheless, the Trump campaign’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Caller Friday that Trump will be doing three debates and Vance will be doing two.

“Let’s be clear: President Trump will be on the debate stage THREE times with Fox News, ABC, and NBC/Telemundo. Likewise, Senator Vance will show up to debate Tim Walz on TWO occasions, on September 18 with CNN and October 1 with CBS. If Harris and Walz don’t show up, an empty podium can stand in their place, proving to the American people just how weak they are,” Leavitt told the Caller.

 

Spoiler

Trump had waffled for months on whether he would debate Harris, finally announcing he wanted to debate her three times on ABC, CBS, and Fox News. Harris accepted the invitations for the ABC and CBS debates but not for the one hosted by the Trump-adoring Fox.

Vance, confusingly, proposed two vice presidential debates as opposed to the traditional one. One of his proposed dates is the same day Trump is due to be sentenced for his hush-money trial.

The Trump campaign went to paint the Democratic strategy as such: “They are trying to get away with seeing how she performs on the September debate, and then maybe they’ll commit to an October debate,” Leavitt said. 

Trump may also make an escape plan for the September debate by highlighting Harris’s personal connection to ABC executive Dana Walden. 

It seems like both sides are trying to paint the other as scared to debate, which may end up resulting in more and more appearances—or perhaps in none at all.

Has anyone seen the movie “Lagaan: One Upon a Time in India?” This is what I’m talking about, with these ethnic enclaves in our country, it can make the whole area smell of toasted cumin and delicious, fresh roti.

That.  Or Indira Ghandi's thong.

Am I mistaken, or was Vance a Corporal simply because the Marine Corps doesn't have a Spec 4 rank?

The Army has both, so a Spec 4 would be in an office typing up press releases, and a Corporal would be out commanding troops and doing War shit. Spec 4s can do war shit too, but they are not considered NCOs. When I was a Spec 4 I called the rank "High Private."

Does the Marine Corps have an E-4 Mafia?  I'm guessing maybe?

With the comments about the Medal of Honor, you have to wonder if Trump is legitimately senile or if he is trying to throw the election. Spitting in the face of veterans? I know he makes awful statements every time he opens his mouth, but these guys are his supporters and it’s insane to obviously disrespect one of their highest honors.

It's actually much better because everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they're soldiers. They're either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they are dead. She gets it and she's a healthy, beautiful woman. And they're rated equal, but she got the Presidential Medal of Freedom."


That should be on a TV ad on Fox News multiple times daily.

I mean he has said way worse and veterans still vote for him, at the end of the day it is pure voting suppression on his part by looking like a low energy dumbass the content of his words literally do not matter.

It's a cult.  He could say ANYTHING and it wouldn't matter.  His cult members only get news from cult leader approved sources. And if they somehow find out what he said, they'll find a way to excuse it.  All these statements are doing is solidifying the cult, and alienating his cult from the rest of us.

Your dismissal of Anne Hathaway is not appreciated 

Honestly I couldn’t bring myself to watch the Dark Knight after Heath Ledger died. I wasn’t some huge Heath Ledger fan, it just seemed the role had tortured him and it kind of revolted me in a visceral way

Then with the movie theater shooting in Colorado I didn’t want to watch the one with Bane. Haven’t seen any since.

He was trying to get $100M in PAC money, and he was successful.  Hopefully it does $100M worth of damage.

Youtube pushed that prerecorded SNL skit today and it had me in stitches.

 

I like how at the 2:03 mark, the character Trump has the vg neck wrinkle, just like the real one.  It's the details.
