No, see the move is to do a home equity loan and convert all of the proceeds into precious metals from roseland capital. 
 

Housing market will crash, money will be worthless,  but gold always has value!  Convert that equity to gold bars while you still can!

What value does gold actually have? It's a shiny metal. What's it's intrinsic value?

If you punch someone in the face while holding a gold bar, they ain't getting up.

It’s renowned and highly valued for its ability to efficiently conduct electricity.  Which will be super important in our battery-driven future state.

I plan on melting mine down and using it in my Greek Fire mixture to repel invaders of my undisclosed secure location.

I am pretty sure that if you shoot Greek fire at people, your location is no longer undisclosed.

A record 32% of voters say they would only vote for candidates for major offices if they share their views on abortion, according to a new Gallup poll out Thursday.

Why it matters: The surge in single-issue voters who are "pro-choice" could spell trouble for vulnerable Republicans. Some have already distanced themselves from hardline views on abortion over fears of an Election Day rout in November.

  • More "pro-choice" voters now say they will prioritize the issue when voting for candidates. That finding reinforces previous polling showing that abortion rights voters remain galvanized by the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

By the numbers: More than half (54%) of the survey's 1,024 respondents said they are "pro-choice." That's down one percentage point from the record pro-choice sentiment Gallup recorded after a draft of the court's Dobbs v. Jackson draft decision was leaked in May 2022.

  • 41% of respondents said they were "pro-life," slightly down from Gallup readings over two years ago but still within the survey's margin or error of ±4 percentage points.
  • 23% of "pro-choice" voters said they only vote for candidates who share their views on abortion, a major increase from the 17% Gallup had recorded in 2022 and 2023.
  • On the other hand, 8% of "pro-life" voters said would only vote for "pro-life" candidates, down from the 10% recorded in 2022 and 2023.

Yes, everyone here is fully onboard with the two party system we have and none of us want reforms 

And you will just keep pulling the lever to show them.

Trump is a cancerous tumor on America's Body Politic.  While unpleasant, to vote for Biden is to remove the tumor and receive chemo/radiation treatment.  

To vote for anyone else in this election cycle is like being diagnosed with a malignant tumor and then opting for herbal tea or leaches to heal.  We can do that shit down the road.  For right now, we need extraction and painful therapy.

This is bullshit, because the "slash" didn't appear in the American vernacular until Kordell Stewart.

i have three longtime republican brothers, each a bit of a different flavor: one aggy, two red raiders. one uber catholic, one damn near prosperity gospel, one borderline conspiracy theorist. they range from solid middle class to 1 percenter.  each of them thinks biden's reelection is a foregone conclusion.  i think it stems from the educated republican sensing a pullback for their kind's support of trump.  couldn't tell you whether these specific ones did/will vote trump, although the odds on favorite would be 2/3 did last time and 3/3 did first time.

That's about as believable as the polls that have Trump winning the youth vote 60-30 or whatever. 

The same poll has Trump tied in Oregon and Illinois, so it isn’t. I got to use the x files meme, no ragrets.

Yeah, a decade ago, the GOP told campaigns NOT to use McLaughlin.  He had Cantor winning by 34 points in his primary before he lost by 11.

If that’s really one that his campaign uses, look for him to make more appearances there. Good. Fewer time spent in Wisconsin and Michigan et al. 

Trump’s internal polling is on crack:

I want to believe I can get within 100 yards of Sela Ward without violating any prior restraining orders, but the State of New York says otherwise, at least until August of 2025.

With that said, I do think the numbers are a lot better for Biden than what we see publicly, which could explain why so many Republicans are freaking out.  We see shitty-ass polling done on the cheap.  Republican politicians are seeing numbers they paid good money for, from companies that aren’t just surveying people stupid enough to answer calls from unknown callers - they are looking at social media engagement, rallies, media coverage, and a slew of other factors, and they are matching that stuff up against voter demographics (for which they have a lot of data).   New York Times may try to extrapolate a nationwide trend (330 million people) from 700 people dumb enough to answer a phone call. People like Trump have access to trends in individual counties in battleground states.

Season 9 What GIF by The Office
 

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/14/ceos-at-trump-meeting-not-impressed.html

  • Former President Donald Trump failed to impress everyone in a room full of top CEOs this week, multiple attendees told CNBC.
  • “Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” said one CEO who was in the room.
  • Several CEOs “said that [Trump] was remarkably meandering, could not keep a straight thought [and] was all over the map,” Andrew Ross Sorkin, co-host of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” reported.

No.  Fucking.  Shit.  You boot-licking morons that only care about quarterly projections.  Fuck right off.

I’m watching The Dark Knight Rises.

Bane’s speech struck a nerve as I couldn’t help but feel that it’s exactly how MAGA sees the world…..

Take the Harvey Dent talk and put in America / Democracy and it feels eerily like the natural conclusion of MAGA.

Oh we’re headed for some dark times even if Biden wins. MAGA loves America so much, that they’re willing to burn down the Republic. Buckle up

I don't think this is true. I think that the darkest times are ahead though. I also don't think it'll have to do with the MAGA contingent.

When Ana looks at the trolley problem, he knows the most moral choice is to pull the switch so that the train runs over the track with a bunch of people tied down to it, then cross to the track with one person tied down and shoot them in the head. Unless it’s a woman, then he’ll force her to give birth to a rapist’s child first then he’ll shoot her in the head.

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Ana and TxTow in the same place.
