Western New York is where Joseph Smith allegedly dug up the Book of Mormon, inscribed on gold plates. Which vanished when skeptics came around asking to see them.

Ta, Marcie. Awwww, poor little rich girl.

So, it turns out that she’s just a run-of-the-mill asshole Republican liar traitor.

We should have seen that coming.

It's the opposite of gaslighting.

You forgot to mention her role as a diversity prop for the party that despises women.

That picture of Elaine's butt should be everywhere. In Times Sq, on the Empire State Bldg, the Eiffel Tower and -- just everywhere in Washington-- the Smithsonian, on the bridge on the trail in Georgetown-- and, covering the State House dome in Boston. She reminds me of Mayor Michael Curley. (Hey--super glad she has a pool!)

2012 is an interesting time to have bought in DC, as the local real estate market was still recovering from the 2008 crash. I lost a bundle because of that. Glad to know eminent citizens profit from it.

Kinda like poor Mitt Romney, having to set out in life with only a teensy $5 million "loan" from his folks.

Welp...it's not exactly as cushy as a "wood floored townhouse". Have a look at the place - this is it, Spokeo has Elise's name on it, as well.

No way that is her house.

Craig Nixon's avatar

Yeah, it's not. But looking downthread at the thing with the actual house being obscured from location imaging, I wouldn't be suprised if this Zillow bungle was intentional too.

If you look at Google maps for that address though, that is clearly not the house with that street number-- google maps show a dense street with a narrow lot, not a suburban ranch house. (And the google maps has the house obscured, so it probably is the correct address). But no way that picture in zillow is her house.

Thank you, I got a little dizzy for a moment trying to reconcile my ill-formed notions about DC with ranch houses that have in-ground swimming pools.

Craig Nixon's avatar

I see what you mean now on Maps. Weird...I've looked at a lot of imagery on Maps, but this is the first time I've seen an entire building obscured. Car tags, any other personal stuff...sure, but never a whole house like this.

They always do that with the homes of prominent politicians. In the Chicago area they do that for the Blagoyeviches (no shade, the kids still live there), Schakowsky, Obama, various and sundry Daleys etc. Of course, everyone knows where they live anyway so not sure how it helps.

Craig Nixon's avatar

Makes sense. I just hadn't come across it on Maps, at least not in NYC.

Craig Nixon's avatar

I thought there was something weird about that. It's certainly not the neighborhood on the listed address. Very strange...the asessment listed on Zillow matches up, but the sale price was apparently 610k.

I love the ass comment, perfect photograph!

I live in Stefanik's district, though she clearly doesn't "represent" me. She is horrible.

My family also has a summer house in the Adirondacks, and it's a VERY right-wing Republican area. My prediction is that the people there will vote for any Republican over any Democrat, sad to say.

NY's Ilse pulled herself up by her own bootstraps, and is a Self Made Woman, which is why she has so much love and admiration for TFFG - because he was a Self Made Man, who had little help from anyone, other than an tiny loan from his old daddy.

That Elise is a sweet girl. She'll be sending extra money home from the blow jobs in the cloak room.

Everyone wants to claim the mantle of Abe Lincoln or Frederick Douglas, self educated and picked up by their own boot straps, because that plays well with their constituents. We need a lot more actual investigation done on candidates who claim this. LLC shell games make it tough, but it shouldn't be impossible.

Based on this article, it's not exactly difficult
