2024 ELECTION THREAD
The next presidential race will be here soon! Please see current Bovada odds. Thoughts?
The only difference being, that while he shares his sources and he comes to pro-human solutions for the problems we might face, most of others, in particular very well know organizations do neither. The term "conspiracy theory" is used often these days to differ without conversation the information that other people shares.
What's a "pro-human solution"? Could you give an example of a pro-human solution vs. a non pro-human (anti-human?) solution?
Final solution was pretty anti-human I suppose.
Small crowd, many leaving early.
I don't ramble, I'm a very smart guy, really smart.
he spent a lot of time talking about how he believes he is better looking than Kamala Harris
So what is the expectations for the Democratic National Convention ? Violence? Protests ? Do they let the uncommitted delegates speak? Or is it smooth sailing?
I see they have a suspected rapist and suspected pedophile speaking on Wednesday. Though he was a great president 😀

It'll be smooth. There will be Gaza-related protests that will be uneventful, but FOX will single out the bad actors and the right-wingers will then use those bad actors to represent everyone who isn't a Trumper.

Trump is speaking at the dnc??
Cite where renters likely pay less than homeowners due to taxes insurance and repairs.
Nbd if you made it up , just admit it if so
Not to mention rent goes up a ton year after year. Your mortgage stays the same, HOA and taxes may vary a little.
Most houses don’t need lots of repairs lol
Anyway, please cite
Zillow has my house at 605K with a rent zestimate of 3133. If I were to buy my house right now at current rates with 50k down, my mortgage payment without taxes and insurance would be 3960 - so about 4,800 or more for a mortgage payment. Also, everyone renting will go through a ton of time both lookiing for tenants and fixing up the place for them.
If the value of my house were to crash, rent prices would also come down.
That also ignores the 50k I just lit on fire that went to realtor/bank fees that I wont get back.
It’s sorta remarkable how many people keep saying ‘Donald trump just needs to focus on talking policy’ while ignoring the fact that at his core donald trump is legitimately an incredibly stupid human being who isn’t capable of speaking intelligently about anything

Mandatory mortgage related jnsurance in Italy is like 200-300/year for such a house (covers only fire and explosions basically, but we don't build with wood) and no property tax on owner occupied housing (just to give an example of how things can be very different elsewhere).
But interest deductions here are close to nil.

He's also quite obviously completely insane. I maintain if that guy weren't (relatively) rich he'd be locked up in a padded room somewhere smearing his own feces all over the walls.

Zillow is notoriously inaccurate.
You really don’t go through a ton of time but it is worth spending a ton of time to get $12k a year out of someone
How many bedrooms do you have? Sounds like you can rent each one out and live for free in garage or living room
So you think that when home prices crash, rent also crashes?
By how much, 1:1?
I’d rent out the place for to tenants for $4k a month and you pay $800 out of pocket. After a few years rents will go up and you’ll be able to live for free.
You don’t want a house where it’s yours after 30 years and you live for free?
A main purpose of the vice presidential candidate is to
highlight the presidential candidate’s judgment and values.
JD Vance isn’t helping Trump’s ticket.
It’s likely simply too late for Trump to pick someone else.
“Giving Kamala Harris control over inflation policy, Shannon, it’s like giving Jeffrey Epstein control over human trafficking policy,” Vance said. “The American people are much smarter than that. They don’t buy the idea that Kamala Harris represents a fresh start.”
Couch****er weirdly invoking Epstein in this bizarre ass comparison is bad enough in a vacuum
Seems much worse considering, you know, of the 4 people atop the 2 tickets trump is the only one implicated by Epstein
Reports this week claimed that Donald Trump was lashing out at his staff behind the scenes.
Vance Swears Trump Is Laughing And Joking With Staff.
"He's just having a good time. He's laughing.
He's telling jokes. He calls people and just wants to shoot the breeze."
I'd believe Vance. Donald comes across as such a happy and genial old gentleman
Before he entered politics, there was one of those celebrity roasts
"honoring" Donald Trump. He didn't crack a smile the entire time.

A bit disingenuous to use current market value for homeowner and compare To current renter .
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the shift in electoral votes for specific states from 2020 to 2024.
Here is the breakdown of 2024 compared to 2020.
California -- minus 1
Colorado -- plus 1
Florida -- plus 1
Illinois -- minus 1
Michigan -- minus 1
Montana -- plus 1
Ohio -- minus 1
Oregon -- plus 1
Pennsylvania -- minus 1
Texas -- plus 2
WV -- minus 1
If we consider Pennsylvania a true swing state, then this is a structural shift of three electoral votes in favor of the Republicans, which would translate to six electoral votes in terms of margin. It is relatively difficult (but not impossible) to draw a map for 2024 where this matters. If there is a similar shift during the next reapportionment cycle, it really could start to make a difference.
Every time I look at the electoral map for this election, I reach the same conclusion. If Trump wins 3 out of the 4 of Michigan, Pennsylvania, NC, and Georgia, he wins the election. If he doesn't, Kamala wins.
Wouldn't the next reapportionment not be until 2034?-- or 2032 I suppose...
You are correct that the next reapportionment would be based on the 2030 census and wouldn't impact elections until 2032. I forgot that reapportionment was on a ten year cycle. I changed my post to reflect your correction.
Trump disrespecting Veterans and Medal of Honor recipients
selling Medals of Freedom just like he sold pardons
^ I lost track of that, but Giuliani was being sued by someone and one of the allegations was that he was offering pardons. I don't know if that was ever corroborated or whatever and almost don't care because it would just be another corrupt thing in a very large pile of corrupt things, and the SCOTUS ruling probably makes it legal now (for Trump anyway, not RG). But lol of course he did and it definitely doesn't figure to be the first time it's happened in the WH either. though I would think other Presidents were a little more tactful.
Today I learned that Trump gave the medal to Edwin Meese
