During a fight, if somebody lands a good lick, the recipient will shake his head and say “that didn’t hurt” and everybody knows it hurt like hell. It’s the same way with Englebert. Every time you point out something he can’t defend, he’ll deflect by saying “you’re pathetic” or “I’m just laughing at you instead of answering your question.” He’s just letting everybody know that we’re sticking him over and over and over again. Id say it’s pathetic, but that word has been a little overused lately. It’s like he doesn’t know what else to say, lol.

That’s the problem with people who refuse to see the truth because they have blinders on. Trump says something crappy about his opponent’s race, and anyone that calls out his use of racially abusive language, you accuse THEM of being race-baiters for calling out Trump’s statement questioning Kamala’s racial background. Luckily most American voters are smarter than you.

So what you’re saying is the Dems destroyed the economy just so he wouldn’t get re-elected? Well, one million Americans and millions more around the globe would argue that it was pretty real… except they’re all dead now. Besides… y’all spend all of your time saying how dumb Dems are, but Trump was unable to stop “their evil plan to ruin the economy.” He was so imcompetent that a bunch of stupid Dems outsmarted him with a made-up plague and he couldn’t (or wouldn’t) do anything to stop it from happening. But at least you finally admired that the economy got worse under Trumps administration. Thank you.

The only thing laughable is that you think the economy improved while Trump was in office. That’s a simple yes or no for you. Was the economy in better shape the day Trump took office, or the day HE LITERALLY SNUCK OUT OF DC WITH HIS TAIL BETWEEN HIS LEGS?!!!! I’ll never forget that coward. “Fight! Fight! Fight!” More like “Hide!!! Hide!!! Hide!!!l Lolololol!!!!

I started, but couldn’t finish it. He’s the same guy that got shelled in the first debate of 2020 by Biden. It’s obvious that he has no respect for women… especially women of color.

I don’t care what she claims to be, and my strong suspicion is that most reasonable Americans don’t care about her heritage, either. “So let’s focus on that….. bigly.” He’s just trying to remind the racists who/what he is….. one of them, and he appreciates their support.

If she picks Mark Kelly, AZ will go D for sure. I think the only question is whether or not a combination of Trump's influence, combined with a horrible performance in the House by the Rs these last two years will cause enough seats to swap and we lose the House and/or Senate, too. I doubt it, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I think he had some people convinced to reconsider their opposition to him after the first debate/Battle of Wounded Ear. But the Ds gave them a much more palatable alternative, then Trump goes all "Trump" on the trail and the reconsideration was over. They'll be voting for Harris. I also think that most RFK voters will consider Harris more likable and go that way, too. It's not that Harris is better than Biden (2020), but most people can't stand Trump and will vote for ANYBODY to make sure he never, ever gets elected. Most Presidents have a period after their term(s) end where their approval rating goes back up. Bush, Clinton, Dubya, even Obama saw significant increases in their approval numbers after leaving office. Trump just can't stop being a bitter old windbag.

They dang sure weren't wrong in 2020!!!! And for what it's worth, the polls weren't wrong in 2016.... People just didn't bother to go out and vote for Hillary because the media made it seem as if the race was in the bag for her. Here's the other thing that no one realizes. Trump's numbers were up in 2020, not because so many people fell in love with him while he wrecked our economy and ballooned our debt, but because they liked him well enough in 2016, but didn't think he had a chance- so a lot of them didn't turn out to vote, just like Clinton's voters didn't turn out. But they DID turn out to vote in larger numbers in 2020, hence the singe digit million increase in Trump votes. Trump 2028!!!!!

Well, I do a fantastic job of making you respond to anything I post in the most unimaginative, boring way possible. "Dance, puppet! Dance!"

But people in 2016 didn't like Hillary, but they didn't necessarily hate Trump... and a lot thought he couldn't win, so they didn't turn out to vote in 2016. They didn't make the same mistake in 2020-Trump had generated an intense amount of dislike for himself, and voters didn't hesitate to turn out and vote for a weak ticket in Biden/Harris. Since then, nothing has changed except most Americans LOATHE Trump even more than they did in 2020. Combine that with the fact that every day hundreds (possibly thousands) of Trump voters die of old age and an equally large number of young people who see Trump for the bitter, angry, rich old white guy that he is turn 18 and register to vote. If Kamala just stays down, she wins in a landslide. She's going to announce a vp candidate any day now that will complement her- in other words, people who might have reservations about Harris or her ability to do the job will be put at ease by the qualities exhibited by her VP pick. Whereas Trump just selected a guy "because he's a pretty big jerk, too." The first debate was just an act.... Trump held it together the best that he could. The REAL Trump is back out on the campaign trail now, doing the only thing he knows how to do well.... alienate voters.

They won't comment..... other than to say it never happened, It's obviously AI, Trump just likes to use hyperbole and exaggeration, it's just lockerroom talk, or who's afraid of some mean tweets... But never once will they ask why, in 2024, is a presidential candidate of a major party is making his opponent's race the main point of his attack? Right when I think Trump can't do any worse, he does. You might fire up the racists, but the majority of decent, moral voters will disassociate themselves from you and your party. I can't blame him, though... he can't run on his own record, lol.

I waited a year and prices dropped a little but not a lot. In the meantime the value of my old house increased, so it offset material price increases on the new one. I really don’t see any potential changes on the horizons in regard to prices or interest rates. This might be as good of a time as any. Also… late spring starts are good. You fight the heat, but the weather is usually drier and days are longer. We poured the slab on 5/31 and finished up right at 12/31-seven long months. have a good schedule, try to stick to it, and just keep grinding. It’s worth it. Don’t waste too much time making decisions. Scheduling 4 tile guys to come out and do estimates will kill two weeks. It’s not worth losing time over money. The hardest part for me was switching gears when it was over. You blow through a TON of money like it’s not real. Then one day you have to start spending like you used to… like you’re broke. A $1200 trip to Lowe’s isn’t a big deal when you’re spending 175k total. When it all goes back to normal, you can’t just go drop thousands because you want to. It’s an adjustment.

But the guys who call Joe Biden “Joebama” to remind everybody that Biden used to work for a black guy LOVE it when Trump goes in on race or gender…. Right, Reagan? I think Trump’s plan is to do whatever it takes to make sure every one of his supporters turn out instead of trying to win the votes of any undecided voters. He’s just blowing the racist whistle and to make sure they all show up and support him. And I think he also sees the race slipping away and he’s just angry. Not mad about the state of our Nation-mad that he isn’t going to be president again.

My Y chromosome won’t allow that. Stop glorifying rats.

I remember those signs at Westwood. “Homes from the $70s”. I bet it wasn’t as nice at the “starters” in WWV… My first five houses weren’t brand new, lol. My kid thinks he should be looking at new construction for his first pad. Truck has to be three model years old or newer, too. Can’t forget the toys… what is life without hobbies? Can’t forget about travel, either. It’s not just kids, either. I know a guy who just bought new construction in Woosley for $545k… used a VA loan so he could get in there with 0 down. A lifetime of bad decisions got them to 45 years old with no money for a down payment. Payout at 7% will be 1.3 million… and unless something drastic happens, it’ll pay off when they’re 75. Good luck with that. I don’t know your specifics, but if you have enough equity in your dad’s place, borrow against it and contract your new place yourself. Sell dad’s once you’re move-in ready up in Hardin County. You’ll save closing costs, builder markup, etc. $100/foot isn’t impossible if you can do insulation, paint, wiring, finish plumbing, trim carpentry, etc. for yourself. And you have about 1000 hours of spare time. No pesky lender inspections, draws, multiple closings, etc. and the interest rates don’t matter except for the timeframe that you’re building if you clear enough on dad’s place to cover your construction costs. Live there two years, then repeat.

lol…. Somebody on another thread was calling Transportation Secretary Buttigieg “Booty Juice” and i don’t remember anybody crying. Would “nocturnal emissions” have been more appropriate? What about “naughty dreams?” Too much, too?

If it's bad about VP Harris, Reagan will repost it. It doesn't matter if it's true.

That’s kind of my point. I know a young person that searches for over a year and bought their first house where you’re talking about… WWV. Four years old, $185/ft. Granite, ceramics, landscaped, etc. Exceptionally nice for a first home. Definitely not a 60 year old 2/1/1 fixer-upper on pier and beam like I bought to start out in 20 years ago. And comparable homes to my first are still out there, but my kids are too proud to live in them… but they want to complain that prices on what they want are too high, lol.

She knows the first rule of politics… when your opponent (Trump) is making a fool of himself, don’t interrupt.

No… the money withheld for SS wasn’t taxed back then, so it needs to be taxed as it’s paid out… just like retirement accounts that were collected tax free. Do you want to know the difference between retirees, veterans, and welfare queens? Me, too.

Thank you, sir.

Are they posted anywhere yet?

Won't bother the dems because they're all sporting around in electric vehicles anyways. Because they're smarter.

HAHAHA!!!!!! [Hidden Content] Harris has pretty wiped out Trump's advantage in the swing states!!!! I know it's early, but it's looking good for the "Anybody But Trump" people. "Quick, Mr. Trump!!! Say something offensive!!! Your voters need encouragement!!!!" It's not too early to go on ahead and lower your Trump flags to half mast, lol. Headlines should read "Republicans hand easy victory to lousy dem candidate by re-nominating an even worse candidate."
