really good read. not just unexpected additional costs in lieu of income tax, but seeing "moderates" getting weirded out by guns and red-hot political culture war stuff makes me feel like there are some normal people in the world.
“The problem is, when we alienate protected classes, it sounds like a good sound bite, but" what makes that sound like a good sound bite you fucking chode
Costs and politics were also enough to cause Noelle Schmitz to leave the state after more than 30 years, despite her son having a year left in high school, and relocate to Winchester, Virginia. She said the politics became ever-present in her daily life — one former neighbor had a massive Trump banner in front of their house for years, and another had Trump written in big letters across their yard. When she put out a Hillary Clinton sign in 2016, it was stolen and her house was egged. “I saw my neighbors and co-workers become more radicalized, more aggressive and more angry about politics. I’m thinking, where is this coming from? These are not the people I remember,” Schmitz said. “I was finally like, we need to get the hell out of here, things are not going well.” For some Florida newcomers though, politics is the main draw to the state, said John Desautels, who has sold real estate in Florida for decades. While politics never used to be a topic for homebuyers, Desautels said it is now a regular subject his clients bring up. Rather than asking about schools or amenities in a community, prospective buyers are asking him about the political affiliations of a certain neighborhood. “One of the first things they say is, ‘I don’t want to be in one of them X or Y political party neighborhoods,’” Desautels said. “I spend hours listening to people vent to me about fleeing the communist government of XYZ and they want to come to freedom or whatever. So the politics have been the biggest issue when we get the call.” Even home showings have become a politically sensitive issue. He recalled showing an elderly woman one property where there were Confederate flags at the gate and swastikas on the fish tank. But while politics are a lure to people arriving in the state, he said they’re also among the reasons sellers tell him they’re leaving, and the state’s politics have deterred some of his gay or nonwhite clients from moving there.
It’d be better at a debate stage where Biden makes fun of trump’s failed social media company. Trump refutes my saying that it was an intentional pump and dumb scheme to make money because he’s so smart and rich, opening himself up to yet another criminal charge.
Just got this banger. Their begging is getting even more deranged. If my Aunt had balls, she'd be my Uncle. But in Joe Biden's woke military, she'd be the poster child. I'm a ret. Brigadier General & combat veteran who deployed to some of the most desolate corners of the world. I was responsible for the lives of countless men & women who answered the call. So believe me when I say it's nothing short of DISGUSTING that Joe Biden cares more about military participation trophies for the transgender mob than he does about the lives of our troops. I hold our nation's military & those who are willing to serve very close to my heart. It's personal for me. I spent over 40 years serving in the military to defend everything that makes AMERICA GREAT. Better men than me made the ultimate sacrifice to do the same. I did NOT serve so that the woke radicals could destroy it. Now, I'm running for Congress to stop Joe Biden and his woke left insanity that endangers the lives of all who wear the uniform. But my candidacy enrages everyone from the woke left to the war-mongering globalist RINO's & they're spending millions to stop me in my tracks. My biggest & most important fundraising deadline is quickly approaching- but without a huge surge in grassroots support, I'm afraid I'll come up short & ultimately be defeated. So from the heart of a soldier, I'm humbly asking for your help today. red24.us/39kGwV I'm not one to look the gift horse in the mouth. I won't put a number on it. But whatever it may be, I will never, ever forget what you did for me today. Sincerely, Ret. Brigadier General Chris Walker stop=end
It's difficult to short currently as well. It has a 125% borrow rate. So if you shorted it, held it for a year and it went to 0, you still lost money.
This company only has $4 MILLION in revenues and a $7 billion market cap. I know this has been beaten to death, but that is fucking insane for a company that isn't doing anything innovative anymore. Even Twitter allows racists now.
Wait till you clap eyes on the Kamalapocalypse thread. I’ve only seen the beta, but it’s worse than you can comprehend.
the message around trump's business deals is that he has simply been bought by CHINA CHINA! that's bound to scare some old people
Jimmy Carter put his fucking peanut farm in a blind trust and this motherfucker is hocking everything and anything yo make a buck JFC
I dont understand the original valuation. Anyone with a brain can see it's a shit platform with a user base that isn't attractive to advertisers and content likely to scare them away regardless
People bought his worthless shoes. Just the thought of Trump owing these people money is enough to make them part with theirs.
Na that was just a fan buying a jersey to rep their team. I don't think those people think Trump owes them anything. But the people that donate millions do and he'll fuck them over the next chance he can make a buck.
No, people gave money with the promise of receiving shoes. They have not yet received the shoes, but have parted with their money.
He posted bond to file an appeal for a financial penalty. He wasn't sentenced to any jail time so he's not out on bail.
Georgia and you don’t have to be sentenced to get bail just charged. Also NewYork is civil and you don’t get bail for civil cases.
