  1. This study states that gun violence has an economic impact of $557 billion annually. So if the Federal spend of $19B leads to only a 10% reduction in that impact it would save $55.7B. Seems like a wise investment. Edited to add: scrolling back I notice BillV already made this argument.
  2. it is the fle3x you want, cause I certainly haven't seen any posts from you making it very clear you could never support a rapist and would do anything to prevent him from becoming your president. Actually you keep posting quite the opposite.
  3. Biden does indeed have a perception problem. And many Americans do indeed seem to say I don't care if a man rapes a woman, just as long as I think I can make some more money. Not sure that is really the flex you want it to be though.....
  4. Why ban immigration if illegal immigrants don't obey the laws? Gun crime is not a gun problem, but one crime by an illegal immigrant makes immigration a problem. All lagging costs. Taxes will go up to service the larger population. Electricity and other utility costs will go up once infrastructure needs to be upgraded to service the new larger population.
  5. I mean, everybody should have some level of worry about RFK being able to get any votes and the prospect of a second Trump presidency.
  6. Nothing in that says they are crapping their pants. If Trump says that we cannot let Iran invade Israel, does that mean Iran is making Trump crap his pants? You say that we cannot let open borders stand. Does that mean Mexicans make you crap your pants? Do you have any concept of what a "fact" is?
  7. Did you hold it for 10 years? $50,000 bought in Nov 2011 and sold in Nov 2021 would have netter over $10 million (before tax), which is much better than the $1.5 million today (have there been stock splits? can't remember)
  8. You first have to show political influence on Trump prosecution. Like, actual evidence. Exactly which lawsuit are you objecting to and for what reason?
  9. Makes you wonder how many Americans have been illegally deported from the US.
  10. Are they? Maybe explain why we should take an opinion piece from a professional author as fact?
  11. Yeah in countries like The Netherlands with much higher taxes yacht builders have totally suffered. They aren't known for building luxury yachts at all.
  12. You have people spending life in prison, without ability for parole, for shoplifting. You haven't given a flying fuck about "lady liberty" until you needed to ease the cognitive dissonance. Has it ever crossed your mind lady liberty is after Trump cause Trump did bad stuff, but is still given more deference and "runway" than any other defendant ever?
  13. When you grab her by the pussy do you not expect her to look who did it?
  14. Also the likely reason why Trump has changed his tune on whether TikTok should be banned.
  15. Not sure how that would work. Easy to balance a budget, much harder to balance the actuals.
  16. Uhm no. The issue is raising taxes to pay for what you are getting now, so you can balance the budget.
  17. Pretty sure Martin Durkin has not won a Nobel.
  18. 33 million Americans think the earth is flat.
  19. Weren't you earlier today lamenting how bad the economy was?
  20. Bonus points for working lagniappe into a sentence!
  21. If I have $100 million in unencumbered real estate my bank would happily provide a revolving line of credit for $40 million. If I had a net worth of $2 billion, I am sure a bank would happily provide a $400 million revolver. Unless my net worth was measured 2 years ago and much of my holdings are in office assets....that Mark to Market has dropped a bit since then.
  22. Not entirely true. The Australian stock market has beat the US Market over the last 120 years when converted to US dollars.
  23. Unencumbered equity, not unencumbered liquidity. The loan is there to provide liquidity. Trump is probably running into a multitude of problems. He is convicted of lying about his assets. The assets are likely heavily cross collaterized. The office market is currently absolute shit and I wouldn't be surprised if many of his assets are under water. Lastly, it is unlikely he is going to win on appeal. The amount might get reduced a little, but more likely than not, he is going to have to pay.
