Trump - 4 more years of this at least...

Yesterday Musk had a one on one interview with trump on X
It was beset with tech issues that held the show up for 40+ minutes. Reminds me of the ill fated desantis primary run announcement.

Musk said he was going to have a conversation with trump rather than an interview as such, so everyone could get to know trump in that style of setting.
The difference was amazing, trump was lively, and started talking about policy of all things! He spoke extensively about his health plan replacement for obamacare he has been working on over the last 8 years.
JUST KIDDING!
It was the same old trump for 2 hours of wahhhhhh, wahhhhh stolen election and the other 5 greatest hits of petty grievances with musk asking a lame question every 10 minutes or so and then musk just responding, "yeah, hmmm, right, yeah", while sounding incredibly bored. Trump seemed to either have a mouthful of gumballs, or had a really bad mike. Either way if he was hoping this was going to move the needle on his badlay flailing campaign, this was not it. What a fucking borefest YAWN

Oh yeah, at the same time the bookies in Las Vegas have changed the odds from trump to kamala winning - and everyone knows those guys would rather lose their left testicle than $1 on a bad bet.

John Stewart summed up trumps latest campaign antics very succinctly in the video below.

no doubt his team or supporters will claim immunity or first amendment...

Last week at one of his rallies, the maga rally organizers were playing the theme of the titanic to warm the crowd up - GOLD!

Whew, THANK GOODNESS it was not that!

For the record, I'm not really sure if any website on planet earth is safe for you to visit if an image of a girl blowing kisses causes you moral discomfort. Chin up petal!

Well business as usual happened in this thread over the last few weeks. It has been a lot rowdier in the past, and at times does quieten down as we all get a bit tired of reporting on trumps never ending self propelled lies and dramas. It does always liven up when two or one magas arrive and spout a whole lot of trump lies with zero links or proof to back up their "stats" such as Deans impressive looking trumps tax cuts worked posts - ZERO LINKS provided.
You will have to forgive our scepticism, as higher IQ magas in the past have dropped by kb, and at first their stats looked very believable, until when pressed for their sources, could only provide a pdf of someones personal opinions that had only been downloaded a handful of times.

Obviously much merriment ensued in the thread.
What I would like you and Dean to do is back up your trump utterances with links to your sources.
Until you do that, I fear you will just be written off as low rent trolls. And golly, dang, and gosh - we would not want disinformation like that on this thread would we?

Hey bud,

Firstly, I would like to thankyou for your time and effort.

Secondly, I would like you to compact your opinion into a smaller and more organised statement.

Now, I'm not sure what websites you visit to see little girls blowing kisses. I find this deeply concerning that you seem to come across this often.

I would like for you to take a step back and think for yourself.
I would like you to consider that not everything mainstream media says is the truth.
I would like you to accept a large percentage want Donald Trump as their president.

Bud, let's just see what happens on election day.

Thankyou

The middle class make up the majority of mortgage recipients in the US.

Mortgage lending significantly increased in 2018 post cut.

Meaning more middle class home owners.

One of the factors being the easier access to capital for banks, largely driven by things like the corporate tax rate reduction.

if you keep repeating trumps lies even if you know they are lies or even worse if you can figure out they are lies ,
Whoever does that must be a special kind of stupid. Or a weak form of troll.
Years ago trolls were a bit smarter.
They mixed it up a bit, these current crop appear to be just attention seeking, no talent ass clowns. Not even capable of phoning it in.

recent weeks, President Donald Trump has been talking about plans for, as he put it, a “very substantial tax cut for middle income folks who work so hard.” But before Congress embarks on a new tax measure, people should consider one of the largely unexamined effects of the last tax bill, which Trump promised would help the middle class: Would you believe it has inflicted a trillion dollars of damage on homeowners — many of them middle class — throughout the country?

That massive number is the reduction in home values caused by the 2017 tax law that capped federal deductions for state and local real estate and income taxes at $10,000 a year and also eliminated some mortgage interest deductions. The impact varies widely across different areas. Counties with high home prices and high real estate taxes and where homeowners have big mortgages are suffering the biggest hit, as you’d expect, given the larger value of the lost tax deductions. But as we’ll see, homeowners all over the country are feeling the effects.
Zandi says that because of the 2017 tax law, U.S. house prices overall are about 4% lower than they’d otherwise be. The next question is how many dollars of lost home value that 4% translates into. That isn’t so hard to figure out if you get your hands on the right numbers.

Let me show you.

The Federal Reserve Board says that as of March 31, U.S. home values totaled about $26.1 trillion. Apply Zandi’s 4% number to that, and you end up with a $1.04 trillion setback for the nation’s home owners. That’s right — a trillion, with a T.
