King Conman! What fucked up country it has become!

In addition to admitting he can't really drive down grocery prices, didn't he also say he was not going to do much about the trans bathroom stuff this week? Lol. The fucking guy spent MILLIONS on commercials on that fucking issue nonstop in PA during the campaign. 

Maga's....welcome to reality. You voted for a guy who just told you literally everything you wanted to hear and you all lapped it up.

Yeah it's crazy but we knew it would be. And the magats don't care....makes no sense. Truly TDS

Just talked to a guy with a 1.99% rate on his mortgage and I was telling him he could maybe take a home equity loan if need be, if he understandably didn't want to lose that rate. He ended up declining.

At the end of the call he goes "If you ever have rates around 1.99 let me know." I jokingly said "Yeah, sure, fingers crossed we wind up in another pandemic so rates get that low again" to which he replies (either not getting my joke or not hearing the pandemic part) "Yeah let's go Trump! He'll get 'em down!"

Reminded me of what we talked about yesterday. Does he realize he has an all time low rate because we were in a massive recession during the pandemic and fed had no choice but to bottom out rates across the board to stimulate the economy? Or does he think Trump magically did something himself to get rates that low and things were just great at that time?

Reminded me of what we talked about yesterday. Does he realize he has an all time low rate because we were in a massive recession during the pandemic and fed had no choice but to bottom out rates across the board to stimulate the economy? Or does he think Trump magically did something himself to get rates that low and things were just great at that time?

It's just unreal. Complete ignorance and I don't know how we dig out of it.

My opinion is that trump is such an unusual character that he's a one time disease. We just have to let the disease take its course and we'll be ok.

Holy shit....I just realized he got his mortgage in July of 2021. LOL. Fucking idiots.

I get the same stupidity all the time regarding income tax...the number of times I have had to explain that we are operating under trump's tax package is mind blowing. "I just feel like I paid less taxes under trump"...."I just feel like it was easier to run a business under trump"....fucking dumbass shit

oh yeah....and I've told the story here before. A guy that has an auto repair business who has steadily improved each year for the last 15 years just keeps having the best year of his career but will say "I don't expect next year to be this good because of Biden, Obama, etc."...yet it continues. He's just a great mechanic. Has nothing to do with the White House

There is no talking any sense into these people. At all. It's unbelievable. 

And unless Trump lands us in a massive recession, the price of everything will increase over the next few years but I bet they will INSIST otherwise.

I'm thinking prices will likely decrease but only because we will dip into a recession....it's inevitable.

Unemployment will increase...Dow will drop. Interest rates will likely continue to drop but real estate market will likely flatten

Did you just throw some markers down? Where’s our POOTWH cult members and their markers of “happy days are here again?”

Are they afraid of owning “it?”

Tim Simmons

No. They just can't articulate a political dialog. Their bit is just performative trolling. They hate people who aren't like them and all they want to do if gloat and troll and take some weird aggression out on their perceived enemies.

So if I understand correctly. This guy has a mortgage at 1.99% and called you because he was looking to refinance?
Did he somehow expect to beat 1.99?

Is that when he will reveal his healthcare plan or is that when prices for eggs & bacon will be back to 80’s prices or when Ukraine will surrender or Israel will agree to a two state existence? Or when the fleecing of the country will begin?
