Karolyn Leavitt must have absolutely no self-esteem. I feel like anyone else would have rage-quit a long time ago from all the times Trump made a liar out if her.
The most delicious irony would be if the Republicans impeached the Orange Pustule. After all, he is the lamest of the lame ducks. He has an expiry date. The Senate Republicans understand this. It's why they won't act on SAVE, end the filibuster, blue slips, or any of the other crap he claims to want.
They understand they won't always be in charge and those things are valuable to the minority.
One way or another, the Orange Pustule will be out of office. Hopefully sooner, rather than later.
"The most delicious irony would be if the Republicans impeached the Orange Pustule"
Never going to happen. Literally, never.
The gangsters in the White House are threatening their children and families.
And before that they were getting paid by the Russians until the Russians ran out of money because Ukraine is refusing to cave, so they're spending all their money on that war.
People here in the United States are way behind the curve in learning how autocratic kompromat works.
The Kutchner family are slumlords, with thousands of corporate properties rented to low-income families. Trump was never going sign legislation making it easier for these families to escape the predatory clutches of the Kutchners.
Trump killing a housing bill because it does not help him rig elections is almost too clean a parable. Republicans finally stumbled into one useful thing for actual human beings, and the casino Pharaoh immediately flipped the table because houses do not suppress votes or flatter him personally. Affordable housing is apparently “minor importance.” Keeping married women tangled in paperwork before they vote, now that’s the sacred emergency. Very normal democracy. Totally not a mildew-scented monarchy.
Low interest rates won't change the fact that building giant mansions is a lot more profitable for builders in the current market than building multiple units of smaller affordable housing. Builders will even tear down a smaller affordable home so that they can build a brand new giant mansion on the same lot. That's how profitable it is. Yards don't matter any more, kids just play on their electronic devices. In cities they don't even make condos anymore. They only make "luxury condos." There is no such thing as a non-luxury condo anymore. This is all great if you can afford to spend $600,000 plus on a home, but if a couple only has two or three jobs, they will never make it. Income inequality is the direct cause of the housing crisis. People whose grandparents used to pay high taxes that kept them in the middle class don't have to anymore, and they are so rich they have bid up the price of land to unprecedented levels. So no, interest rate reductions are not going to solve the housing problem. Massive structural reforms are needed. My impression is that it would be a lot cheaper for society to design and build a bunch of new cities in relatively unpopulated but habitable regions in the US. That would bring down the price of housing everywhere.
It annoys me how bad the upper middle class is at thinking through the long term consequences of wealth growth being tied to wealth volume. It's like they never learned high school maths.
"The White House even treated the passage of the bill as a big feather in Donald Trump’s cap, because he’d called for the curbs on institutional investors in the State of the Union address earlier this year. White House Propaganda Minister Karoline Leavitt touted plans for Trump to sign it Wednesday, calling it “one of the most significant pieces of housing affordability legislation in American history.” Fox News trumpeted, “Trump scores major win as Congress passes housing crackdown on Wall Street investors.”
Shithole person shitted out that his poll numbers have never been higher. Why the fuck are you so worried about the midterms then, you corrupt chancre.
Gaze upon the wonders of Murc's Law and despair. Such a statement in a Democratic administration would have the Executive Branch staffed by tumbleweed by close of business Friday.
I can never say enough how disgusting the permission structure is for Republicans, aided by their captive Taney Court 2.0.
For a *semblance* of a check on this you have to defeat these creatures on the ballot and give Congress impeachment+removal-sized majority. And do this knowing that millions of Americans cosign this abject cruelty and negligence. So you will have to dig deep as numerous online-maligned figures warned you.
Most cruel people learn to reign in their cruelty once their lives start improving because of the anti-cruelty party, community, or group. If there's one thing you can count on, it's the selfishness of those who dehumanize others.
Someone got a bad poll that shows The Republicans are going to lose in a massive landslide in November. Why else is Trump obsessed with saving his orange ass?
"The Vandals were an East Germanic (immigrant family) whose migrations across (America) significantly contributed to the fall of (America). Today, their name lives on in the word "Trumpism" because of their infamous, thorough—though notably (in)disciplined—sacking of Washington DC in 2026 CE"

"as long as Congress remains in session"
AS LONG AS CONGRESS REMAINS IN SESSION
And didn't MAGA Mike then adjourn the House ...?
Ta, Dok. I got lucky. I married into home ownership. Last year for my birthday, Meccalopolis took me to our lawyer to sign my name to our deed.

As far as housing goes, Trump only knows how to discriminate against Black people moving into the buildings his daddy built.
Well, that his daddy paid people to build. I guarantee you daddy Trump has never held a hammer or any kind of actually useful tool.

Affordability, you mean that Dem hoax?
Stay tuned for "Nobody cares about eating or starving"
Breathing is so overrated.
Shithole person shitted out that his poll numbers have never been higher. Why the fuck are you so worried about the midterms then, you corrupt chancre.
Regarding the header pic, the housing situation could get so bad you'll have dogs and cats living together.
We already do.

All the homeless are criminals and drug addicts anyway. Suitable only as fuel or as prisoners in for profit jails. So sayeth Nick Fuentes/djt.
The R's will fold, like always. They will adjourn for the holiday because reasons.
They'll adjourn for the holiday because otherwise the bill would actually pass

I agree. The taxpayer is always the first under the bus.
