@JudiciaryGOP
Mark Zuckerberg just admitted three things:
1. Biden-Harris Admin "pressured" Facebook to censor Americans.
2. Facebook censored Americans.
3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Big win for free speech.

The rest was FB internal processes but the order of the bullet points infer it's all due to Biden-Harris pressuring. Fake news!

5th I believe in the States a former president is always referred to as 'Mr President.' It's kind of like 'once a champ, always a champ' in boxing. They were still calling Muhammad Ali 'champ' when he was walking around on his ear, and Jimmy Carter is 99 years old and is still 'Mr President' everywhere he goes. This is not about denying the results of the last election.5thhorseman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2024 9:32 pm"President Trump" lol.

I know the Democrats have been whining about this vis a vis Trump during this campaign but I think they are ignoring historical precedent and good decorum.
I'm not looking for an argument with you especially, you can correct me if I'm wrong. But I am an old SOB, and this is the way I remember things being done for a long time.

Yeah I'm guessing you're a bit older than me, I'm around Blobby's age
. So you might be right, though I haven't heard "President Obama" for a long while.
I think they're referred to as President informally and in personal settings out of respect, but not formally.

Actually plenty of people refer to former presidents by the title even after they have left office. But you know this, so once again you are trolling.5thhorseman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2024 9:32 pm"President Trump" lol. She's a closet election denier who ignores the results of over 60 court cases.

No, I only see that with the election-denying Trumpers. They want to pretend Trump won and is actually still Prez lol.
Find me some references to "President Obama" that's not historical and I'll believe you.

home buyer assistance, and price gouging are stolen from our own Jaguar Meat's song. One is a tax write off that will increase home costs, the other is veiled price controls.5thhorseman wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2024 2:54 pm Hasn't Harris put forth a few policy priorities regarding:
- homebuyer assistance
- stopping price gouging
- taxing unrealised capital gains
Any comments on those? I'm not acquainted with the details myself (if there are any) so can't say much yet except that the third is just for the optics (it's unrealistic).
tax on unrealizied capital gains is frightening tax on something that does not exist. Similar to Dave Barrett wanting to tax the in situ value of natural resources, the the production of natural resources. The saving grace for the Harris proposal is that it only kicks in after $100M in capital gains. I would think that anyone at that level has accountants smart enough to diversify those gains.
I keep having to remind myself that mortgage payments are tax deductible in the US.

Kamala promises to spend hundreds of millions on the border wall, undercutting a key Trump election issue.

Trump killing the bipartisan border deal earlier this year to use it as a political football may come back to haunt him. As a former prosecutor I think Kamala will press her advantage on this one. Should make for a good debate. I hope they keep the mics on.

Dems have stated that the home buyer assistance won't be enacted until supply problems have been addressed through various measures to encourage new housing construction, which has lagged since 08/09. I think this is the meat of her plan.Topper wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2024 8:06 am home buyer assistance, and price gouging are stolen from our own Jaguar Meat's song.

Also, one can't ignore the economy's soft landing under Biden, which many thought was impossible, and the impact of upcoming rate decreases will have on housing affordability. The economy is a strength for the Dems.
Meanwhile Trump just blames the housing crisis on illegals and says Kamala will give them $25K. It seems his campaign approach is mostly just griping.
Haven't looked much into price gouging but I understand there are numerous states with existing laws. So Kamala is just looking to extend this nationwide.
On taxing unrealised capital gains, sure you could do it for liquid assets like stocks and bonds. Maybe for property as well, if you piggyback on the property tax system. But other asset classes such as privately companies, artwork, intellectual property, etc are problematic. Ultimately this idea will die as it is impractical.
