Funny, I haven't seen your integrity show up here in this sequence.

Now, please point out where I said I could not afford a house. Either that or come back here and apologize (twice now). Once for your gratuitous and moronic attempt at an insult. And a second time for trying to put words in my mouth.

I'll be waiting, Mr. Integrity.

ok fine. I assumed that when you said you never received the mortgage interest deduction it meant you didn't own a home. That was a bad assumption on my part, I retract.

I don't own a home. But I never said I could not afford one.

I’m sure racists & crooks & traitors hope all this “talk” about the Constitution will fade away...

Oh man...you are so right. I apologize unreservedly for not living up to my responsibilities. I hope this hasn't caused you or anyone else here any undue angst.

I will just get right to it.

Listen up people!

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

Shouldn't the "Clown" be capitalized?

Normally that would be a good argument. I'm purposefully not giving him the satisfaction here though. I also never call him "President [and then his name]". I may refer to him as the President or Trump or The Orange One or Individual-1 or any other number of things, but I will not call him what I mentioned earlier, and I have never said that two-word phrase out loud since he was elected. I'm not one to say he's "not my president", because unfortunately he is. I just don't have to ever say it, so I don't. He deserves no proforma.

Well, Mueller is done now.

So is Mueller the clown?

He didn't find collusion and didn't make a determination on obstruction.

There is nothing immoral about making good investments.

The immoral part is the tax law, which I speak out against and vote against.

I assume you pay extra taxes or give this immoral gain to charity? Surely, you don't keep it to yourself.

When you save money or invest money so that it grows, ultimately for most people, they then spend that money in retirement. When they do that, they pay taxes on what they take out (unless they pre-paid in a Roth or some other similar vehicle), and they when they spend it, they pay sales tax. Also, any money they end up leaving to relatives is spent by them, thus more tax gain. ALSO...if a person invests so that they can retire ever or even early, that opens up a job for another person who then gets an income that is taxed, and they then buy stuff that is taxed. ALSO...many retired people actually give a lot to charity, either through their church or other ways, and it is extremely common for people to leave money to charitable organizations when they die.

we may be talking apples and oranges, but I believe you are wrong.

"Step 2: The Write-Off

Under the federal tax code, real estate investors can write off the purchase price of the building — excluding the cost of the land — over a period of decades. Although Kushner Companies has spent little or no cash of its own, the firm takes large annual deductions based on the theoretical depreciation of the building.

Step 3: The Loss

The property generates cash for the Kushners. But any earnings, which would be subject to the federal income tax, are swamped by the amount that the company is taking in write-offs for depreciation. The result is that Kushner Companies records a net loss for tax purposes."

"Our" turd? Who are "we"? Republicans? Right wing nationalists?

This guy started a task force to denaturalize people like myself. Unlike Melania Trump, I did NOT cheat on my application. But that does not matter to him. What matters to him is that I am "tarnishing" his culture by living in his country.

He has ordered his subordinate to break the law and suggested he would pardon them if they get into trouble. So he couldn't care less if his orders are legal or not. He will eventually come after me, if we do not stop him early enough.

He is the biggest threat to my existence. He is definitely not "my" turd.

I don't think you really understand how hard it is to buy a house right now for a lot of middle class people, especially (dare I even say it) millennials.

!

I'm sure in LA, NYC, SF etc it is very difficult to afford a home. Elsewhere...not so much.

First, let's finish out the "etc" part of that : Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Seattle, Houston, Austin, Miami, Boston.

Now take $100k and try to buy a house in any of those cities with anything less than an 800 credit score and literally 0 other debt obligations.

Inventory is still way below average, especially inventory of starter homes for first time buyers. People go where the jobs are. I can't get a job in industry as a mathematician in the middle of Iowa or Wyoming. This is also not really new. It's been the narrative in the housing market for like 2 years now

I'm not necessarily 100% agreeing with you, but seems weird to me that the market hasn't taken care of this. If so many millions of people want to buy homes and could afford $250,000 to buy one...why hasn't the invisible hand built a bunch of houses, to clear the market? What is preventing that from happening?

Maybe it is that the demand isn't there. Maybe people don't want to own a house as much as we think they do.

Or maybe regulations make housing too expensive to build or something.

honest question tho.

We welcome you. We conservatives want to naturalize good people like you who apply legally. We are trying to exclude those who come here illegally and drain the country's resources in a crazy fashion. We want YOU here. Not the illegals climbing the fence that is not climaeable.

What happens when House Democrats soon tire of the Trump investigations (understanding it will go nowhere and the American public is already weary of it) and know that Trump - even if impeached - will never be removed from office and his popularity will soar like Bill Clinton's did after impeachment - what will everyone do? Will MSNBC have to cover real news again? Will CNN not be interviewing Eric Swalwell and instead have to have legit new stories on their program again? Will Adam Schiff have to do actual Congressional work? The next year is going to be a doozie.

I'm actually surprised you think House Democrats might soon tire of Trump investigations. They may "tire" of them, but I'm not sure that's what you really meant...you meant that they would tire and abandon those investigations. No freakin' way will they do that...they all took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and since our Orange President has done his best to trample on it and the law as detailed in the Mueller Report, they will keep at it as long as he is in office and perhaps after. Trump is not going to acquire a "poor little victim" label with continued investigations, so it helps them politically to do it also.

Trump's popularity will never soar. The Republicans were seen as extremely partisan going after what amounted to a BJ in the Oval Office for Clinton. As I have said several times, I thought he should have been removed for perjury and Obstruction, but the perception of the masses was that Clinton was targeted for an infidelity, and that is why his popularity soared. There aren't a lot of people on the fence about Trump.

MSNBC covering the scandals of our President is "real news". There is next to nothing that is more real news than that. Definitely "legit" news stories from CNN about our serial lying incompetent criminal President. All Congressional members (at least the Democrats) can walk and chew gum at the same time.

You keep saying that he's a lousy person but his policies are good for the country. You have refused to list these "policies".

I will even give you that you might enjoy all his policies despite your refusal to list them. How can you put your trust in a President...the face and governor of our country...who lies to you constantly? How can you trust someone whose staff refuses to obey his orders because following those orders might put them in legal jeopardy? That staff wasn't elected. You are abdicating power from Trump to un-elected officials. They do this because they are following the law while Trump is not. How is that ok with you?

I don't need an answer. You should sit and ponder a bit.

People who come here illegally, like Melania? A phony issue (again!), based on trump’s marriage & in-laws.

Did some quick research.

Which bolsters by view, of course it does, or I wouldn't put it up here.

According to this website, this is the income needed to buy a house in various cities.

I don't know how the website came up with this.

It doesn't seem unaffordable to me. But can't vouch for the source.

annual income needed to buy a house:

Houston 62,000

atlanta 50,000

phila 59,000

DC 95,000

Chicago 66,000

seattle 105,000

Houston 62,000

Austin 80,000

Miami 79,000

boston 106,000

LA 123,000

I have stated clearly more than twice now that you are ignorant about the topics discussed in this thread. As the most recent example, you clearly didn't understand how taxing investments works. I have no other experience with you other than what you say in this thread, and what you say in this thread is rarely correct, and often not even remotely so. I'm not talking about difference of opinion. I'm talking about not getting facts right.

My intention isn't to put you down, brother. We all have our gifts and talents. Apparently yours lie outside the confines of the topics in this thread. I see there is a thread today on the Loudoun Valley high school team. I have little knowledge about that team and therefore I have not commented in that thread and do not plan to. If I were interested in the topic, I would go there and ask questions.

Yeh, right... Trump is reducing all forms of immigration. For example:

Thanks, Flagpole. Am here in the corner with my dunce hat pondering. How long must I stay here?

Ok. I have answered this already a couple of times, but I would have thought this would be crystal clear to you even if I hadn't.

1) Mueller has spun off 14 investigations based on stuff he found on Trump while investigating the primary allegation. His work lives on in those investigations. There are three others too that we know of that didn't come from him.

2) Mueller made it crystal clear that he was punting obstruction to Congress and preserving all the info while "fresh" so that if others deem it necessary he can be indicted for obstruction when no longer in office.

Mueller's active work is over, but the ramifications of his work are still coming, hence HE is still coming.

Mueller is never the clown.

The clown is always of course our Orange President, Tiny, Spanky, Individual-1, whatever you want to call him.

Know...

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

ATL has EXTREMELY affordable housing.
