At least one right wing "media outlet" is claiming the tornadoes were caused by Biden deploying a weather weapon.

Yes you continue to bring up that strawman.

Claims that treatment of unvaccinated is similar to treatment of visible minorities and that we should be kind to those who decide not to get vaccinated.

Oh but these fine people would certainly know what Woke Ideology is and would be very anti Woke Ideology. Clearly they are fine examples of outstanding anti-woke people?

You have previously indicated that you don't trust the US justice system. Why are you now so sure they got it right?

Thank you for sorting it out. posting pictures without a source file or link is usually a pretty clear indication people know they really don't have the facts on their side. Has anybody noticed how these types of people always have two friends that were affected by the vaccines. They know that one person isn't convincing enough, but three people is too unlikely, so they stick with two.

Oh it is a gotcha....you say you didn't finish High School, clearly implying something, but you then get to say you do have a Phd in something else and you get to be all smug and stuff. I am sure the people at the cocktail parties are mightily impressed and utter lots of oohs and ahhhs.

Whatever cause you give to the deaths, the following shows the excess deaths: You can certainly think that all those extra deaths that seem to pretty steadily coincide with the various waves in the US are due to cops kneeling on people and car crashes.....I guess. Sauce

Lack of blood the the brain? /s

It wasn't specific indeed. It was the media who tied his tweet to Trump's Chinese travel restrictions. You claimed Biden lambasted Trump for being racist and xenophobic specifically in response to the Chinese travel restrictions. That is a media narrative. I previously outlined how the actions are not the same. I am sure Biden and Trump are getting treated differently by the media. They both treat the media differently as well.

Gender identity and sexual preference are two separate things.

You can say you don't agree with them all you want, but you exhibit the same behaviour.

I agree. Which one of them mentions the travel ban on Chinese nationals and xenophobic in the same tweet?

Please do find a tweet where Biden mentions both the Chinese travel restrictions and Trump being xenophobic and/or racist. You may find you are being led around by media interpretations of another tweet. Biden's comments on the Trump African travel ban need to be put into a wider context. The virus was absolutely rampant in Europe at that time as well. Except it isn't really the exact same thing, at least not on the face of it. The Omicron variant is Rampant in Africa and not yet rampant in Europe or other places. If it is rampant in Europe and Africa and Biden would ban travel from only Africa, but not from Europe, that would be much closer to the exact same thing.

How is it different from the right wing side only talking about hypocrisy and not showing support for these travel restrictions now?

Just in case you were starting to think the behaviour you are exhibiting, the constant vitriolic attack, didn't have victims. https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/28/us/minnesota-school-board-transgender-hate/index.html

Swiss are politically pretty firmly on the right side of the political spectrum with ruling party a right wing nationalist party. We have seen worldwide a politically charged response to vaccines and masking regulations. So, can't say I am really surprised.

Happy Thanksgiving to our friends south of the border.

No, 40 people who raid a store asp art of organized crime are the more specific problem here. It really isn't an either/or scenario. Both can be problems at the same time.

Organized retail theft is still a felony in California under section 490.4 of the penal code. Misdemeanors are still eligible for up to 6 months in jail. Seems to me that the law isn't the problem, but enforcement on both LEO and DA is the problem.

I have certainly talked my way into larger land loans based on as-if appraisals showing a dream. But then, it helps to be in a market with high growth rates in land values.

Right, so to get to an appraised development value you (very simplified) estimate cost to build, you estimate income then you estimate cap rates to back into an appraised residual value. That appraisal is most certainly asked for when discussing financing with lenders. You play with these numbers because the investor and lender are looking for a decent lift in land values in pre and post development. However, the city often levies development and other fees based on a percentage of that land lift, which means that you want to work with an appraisers very differently to get to different starting and ending values. Setting a value for real estate is far, far, far from an exact science. You seem to be talking about a financing draw on a construction process, that is related, yet completely different. For me that is often the third credit facility in the process. Start with a land loan, gets taken out by a development facility, gets taken out by a construction facility, which gets taken out by a mortgage. All different credit facilities, all different appraisals, all different values. And as I eluded to in my first post on this, having two wildly different appraisals is not evidence of fraud. You always intent to argue a very low value for taxation purposes and a very high value for financing purposes (depending on your debt risk apatite). Every home owner does the same thing, at least every sane home owner does. Trump might very well be defrauding somebody, but what has been presented so far doesn't show that either way. Willfully withholding relevant information, or lying about your revenue stream as part of the appraisal however would show that.

Not it isn't. Other than the comparison approach, there are other ways to look at the value of a real estate asset. Cost approach and Income approach being the most common. You are correct that there are very few real estate loans without collateral. I think that's what you are getting at? And yes, depending on your balance sheet, cross collateralization is definitely something that is done. But, land loans, development facilities and construction loans are most certainly based on a bit of "educated fantasy". If you think there is no difference between an "as-is" and "as-if" appraisal, then you are simply wrong.

The good news is you have strong support from Kid Rock, who released a new video in your honour: Don't tell me how to live Weird Al Yankovic won the internet for the next few weeks though: Murdered by words.

There are still people waiting at the grassy knoll for JFK jr to appear and declare Trump the one true president and then become his VP. They are still there today.....
