Condos are often the first and biggest movers in local housing markets. Prices exploded in many of them over the three years between mid-2019 and the peak in mid-2022, by 60% such as in Austin, TX; by 70% such as in Tampa, FL, and Chula Vista, San Diego County, CA; or by 80% such as in Mesa, AZ, and Lakeland, FL.The italics is me giving dump reason to fire Powell, except legally he can't. Though, whatever he does is legal, as scotus have apparently informed us while boxing themselves in their own corner. |

benalvino3:English and Reading Comprehension does you in again. Kanye was a Trump supporter wasn't he? It's obvious that one has to be deeply broken to hate themselves enough to be a vocal Trump supporter. |

Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke The fact that Susan Rice, Colin Kahl, Michele Flournoy and other entrenched DC insiders and operatives still sit on the Defense Policy Board—which supposedly exists to advise the Secretary of Defense—is a perfect example of the deeper corruption in Washington. Obviously, Pete Hegseth isn’t going to take defense policy advice from Susan Rice, so some might shrug it off. And sure, it might not influence Hegseth directly but it absolutely matters when it comes to how the DC establishment keeps the whole racket going. These boards exist mainly to hand out titles and a veneer of credibility that people like Rice can leverage for jobs, board seats, speaking gigs, and appointments, for instance with military contractors. More importantly, they keep these figures in the loop—lingering on the edges of power until the next president gives them another turn on the merry-go-round. (It’s the same with security clearances, which for some inexplicable reason aren’t revoked the moment someone leaves office.) If you're serious about changing Washington, you have to break up their ecosystem. Don’t just kick them off the boards. Get rid of all these boards entirely. There's no legitimate purpose for a corrupt credential mill handing out fake titles just to keep these people in the game.

raumdeuter:Confused Magat. In one post you are accepting that someone cutting is better than someone adding...... well Trump just added $160bn to the budget.... what then is the effective cut? Trump is the first President in history to push defence spending past $1Tn since the need to do so in the 2nd world war. Last I checked, there is no new world war. But you are saying boldly that he's doing what he said he was going to do? What exactly? Cutting or Adding? How does it affect me if Trump cuts US spending? Iam an investor. You want me to lavish you with a long list of reasons? |

When Trump was promising to be the anti war president, remember him saying he’s tired of his tax money being spent on wars. Fast forward months later, he no longer has a problem with Trump increasing defense spending nateevs: |

nateevs:So nothing Trump does affect you besides being a patient suffering from TDS The people who elected Trump are happy with what he has done in the first 4months and looking forward to doing more To cut more govt spending and you can continue to cry all you want You have 3yrs 8 months to cry more |

benalvino3:Who cares that you can't understand the things you read? You should. But it's clear you don't. Illiteracy is a hell of a thing. You should wonder why you've always found common ground with him. Why you elevated a clearly very disturbed person. Why most members of the Cult of Trump seem to be deeply disturbed as well. You and Kanye seem to have a lot in common. You probably had similar interactions under a bed sheet somewhere that lead you into liking them young and impregnating a teenager. You can always tell your type, they are always so consumed with calling out homsoxuality as if by doing so they are proclaiming to the world and trying to convince themselves they aren't a homosexual. |

raumdeuter: raumdeuter:Even Trump ain't happy with the sh*t he's done and is backing out of most of it. Holy shit, you're level of gaslighting is unreal. The ability to constantly say irrelevant ish and ish you know isn't true isn't something you just on the fly. This seems like decades worth of practice. |

IjeBos:Who told you Trump is not happy? Not everyone lives in misery like Democrats Did you vote for Trump? So it's expected that you will be unhappy like you've always been for most of your adult life I am very happy with most things Trump has done and look forward to the rest of his tenure while he fulfills his campaign promises |

IjeBos:at this point they may as well be your run of the mill third world security agent who literally makes up any story they want this is not a bug, it is a feature, and it is the future under trump and maga. an America where there is no due process and undesirables or people of color can be arrested and locked away on a whim. it starts with alleged gang members so that it can be accepted as a norm. look to nazi germany to know how it ends. |

Maeve7:The way China has handled Trump has been nothing short of entertaining to watch. Unfortunately we’re the ones suffering from it. But I guess a little entertainment to dilute the suffering can’t hurt. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by Maeve7: 9:47am On Apr 24, 2025 |
cococandy:We have been saying this from the beginning that he can’t win a trade war with China and even less the entire world, haven’t we? But the MAGA re.tards still think he is a stable genius. The show must go on. Humor is a good coping mechanism indeed. |

cococandy:Trump has always supported and rightly bragged about building the strongest military. He announced a 6th Gen fighter, which is another costly understanding. Possible to cut wastage like having military bases all over but expand the budget. At the end of the day the military is more lethal. Hegseth has been saying he wants to return the military to war fighters. Under Biden social engineering was factored in , that was a wasteful objective . Soldiers who refused to take the vaccine were dismissed from service . Hegseth wants them back. |

Ijebos , this writer lives in America and is bold enough to state the social security is a ponzi scheme that will go bust by 2035. https://www.justfactsdaily.com/in-fact/n0000454 Despite multiplicative tax increases, SS is due to become insolvent in 2035. To put SS on the same financial footing as a fully funded pension plan, every person who currently pays SS payroll taxes would have to contribute an additional $272,237. Your rejoinder? |

Maeve7:All trumps life he has come at every negotiation, every deal with a win lose mentality. It works when you are dealing with people much smaller than you. But it leaves you completely unprepared for people who can tell you to go fk yourself and who have the resources to take you on. Matters are made worse by trump stumping for nostalgia not reality. Those jobs are never coming back. |

Can you imagine being in this position? I know some might have life sustaining medications they need to take everyday but can’t get it. A diabetic or cardiac patient detained in this situation without access to their medications will die. What about not showing up to work for 10 days due to wrongful detention? Can’t notify your employer. Obviously you’re going to lose your job. In this economy? All of this even after asserting your legal right to be in the USA but having some overzealous ICE agents and an anti immigrant govt overlook all that?? People that are happy with this, may nothing bad or unjust ever happen to you guys. May you not be recipients of undeserved cruelty.🙏🏽 Immigration officials detained a US citizen for nearly 10 days in Arizona, according to court records and press reports.

Eventually these goods that won't be shipped to America will have to be sold at discounted rates to the rest of the world. I am watching lithium batteries prices |

GloriousGbola:Trump doesn't know how to make deals. When he retires, you can pay for his lifestyle. It's not every deal that works out . Some fail some go through . How many of yours go through. |

cococandy:Can you imagine Americans are being held by Hamas as hostages in inhumane conditions & are tortured. No democrat has flown to Gaza or Israel to demand they get released, More than 565 days later, yet democrats are going to El Salvador to demand their citizen a gang member back to America soil. Yet you are crying about a mistakenly held man for 10 days as though it's the end of the world. |
