not so much directed at you as in an attack or anything of that nature but more just giving my thoughts and adding to the conversation you were having
That’s because you actually read unlike most of America who consume their information by staring at people lying about stuff on tiktok all day
I hate it too, idk how people spend that much time on a 100% video reel app. not good for an already dumbed down society
So tired of winning already Chevron to layoff up to 20% of global workforce, source says https://www.bicmagazine.com/departm...yoff-of-up-to-20-percent-of-global-workforce/
President T wanted a guy who gets erection at blowing up american cities for not loving trump enough Oh absolutely
Your call is important to us. Please hold and the next available associate will be with you in a moment
Trump boot licks Putin in ending the war yesterday and the house republicans release this doozy of a budget… https://www.motherjones.com/politic...-budget-resolution-tax-spending-cuts-deficit/
Yall follow this stuff way closer than me so I'm sure someone will yell at me for saying anything but : They don't have power in the house, senate, executive, or judicial. I don't think anything they are doing is going to work but they probably should have highlighted some better tactics like: state AGs legal challenges and state level initiaties where Democrats are governor or they hold the legislature :"Virginia Democrats have a new message for the tens of thousands of federal workers who will vote in their state elections this fall: Republicans stood by silently as President Donald Trump came for your jobs. " Again, anything they do is going to look futile in the face of this tidal wave of bullshit.
They actually have a lot of power. The house republicans have a 2 vote majority and are trying to pass budget legislation. The house didn't magically become a functional group overnight, most likely they'll need Dem votes to pass their bill just like every other time Johnson has passed a budget. Dems need to tell them to fuck off and shut down the government.
There's got to be 2-3 lunatic anti debt spending GOPs that are hardline and will not vote for this craziness.
The absence of an articulated plan to use the leverage and influence they have is what is exceptionally frustrating. The plan for what Republicans would do immediately has been known - and known to be deeply unpopular - for months and months now and they’re still a day late and a dollar short on raising public alarm as to what’s going on. None of them are acting with the urgency demanded by their messaging, which makes people think there actually isn’t a constitutional crisis.
All comms and pr strategy should go through jasmine and AOC Schumer and Hakeem can get fucked with an axe
did the Senate Dems seriously vote to end debate on RFK on Wednesday night so they could have a 4 day weekend in Munich?
I didn’t expect so much of my 30’s would be Fox News and right wing chuds hectoring me to produce more white babies. That’s my mom’s job.
Just had a conversation with a guy, previous client I've done a few loans for. He has several houses. He called to get my advice bc he was going to take a loan for $300k against a rental house, no payments, balloons in 10 years. Random broker. Him - Hey so this is a crazy loan, but I plan on doing a refi with you later this year to get all of the money into the 2s and paying it off. I don't need the cash long. Me - Huh? 2s? Him - Well we have Trump back now, rates should start going down quick. Me - You know of a pandemic that I don't? Him - What do you mean? Me - Rates went to the 2s bc of the pandemic, nothing else. Him - Na that was bc of Trump's economy. They'll be back soon. The fed is playing tough but they'll cave. Me - Umm, hey I'm not here to argue. I just want to be clear that we have no signs of that happening so I don't want you going to do crazy loans expecting me to bail them out and me ending up the bad guy. The poster in me wants to argue and call him dumb as a box of rocks but I can't. But good lord idk how very successful people can be so freaking dumb.
What do you do in that situation? Do you sell them the loan knowing he knows it's a crazy plan? Are there rules against that. Or do you just give him what he wants?
Lookit, I don't know if there's ever going to be more Federal elections or that any of us will be allowed to vote (I suspect the CARE SAVE Act is just the beginning) even if there are, but just about every Democrat in Congress and especially the Senate needs to be primaried. Even the ones I like. There's like 10 democrats out there making themselves useful; the rest of them are bums.
Nothing for me to do. The $300k he was getting was from someone else. He was calling me to get my advice on it. He just assumed he'd come back to me in 6 months and refi what he has now + the new loan into a new loan in the 2s. He wasn't asking for a loan from us today.
I'm afraid my conclusion is that they're bumified by the position and thus non-bums cannot de-bum the spot.
