Well in my opinion, this guy is the typical Biden supporter. He felt "angered" when he saw that bumper sticker so certainly, that anger on his part justifies him keying the car. And if he's done this once, he's done it before. Just this may be the first time he was caught. And watching him, listening to his excuse, I thought of you rat.

I didn't watch it. Never do.

You didn't watch it because you are the typical Biden supporter. They never do anything that someone else (that they don't like) tells them to do.

I never watch anything you post.

"Well in my opinion, this guy is the typical Biden supporter. "

How many people voted for Biden? I can't remember the exact number but it was something in the 80 millions I think (definitely about 10 million more than Trump, and it'll be more this year). At any rate, you'd think if the "typical" Biden supporter goes around keying cars, we would've heard a hell of a lot more about it, since there are so many millions of us. But obviously this guy was numbskull, which has nothing to do with him being a Biden supporter. But you're too much of an idiot and liar to understand that..

Yes hedge, I believe the typical Biden supporter gets silently angry when they see someone who supports Donald Trump and in that anger, they may feel justified in taking some kind of destructive action. That action could be any number of things. That might be to block an interstate while protesting, (we have been seeing that a lot lately), shooting at republican congressmen at a softball field, burning down a CVS during a BLM march, or even keying a car. In most cases (thankfully) that rage might not turn into anything. But when it does turn into something, the guilty party does it with the intent of hiding behind a mask or hoping he doesn't get seen because he intends to take that action, again! With the one and only exception of January 6th, in every single other instance, all of those people who did all that malicious damage, they all would have voted for Biden if given the chance, never Trump. Now in each of those instances where there was destruction, there may have been something ELSE that motivated the action (in the latest case, the war in Israel) but ALL of these people are voting for Biden.

I don't think you know what the word typical means. Can't say I'm surprised...

I wasn't surprised when this guy was so calm and rational about destroying someone else's property.

North Carolina "man" killed 2 local law enforcement officers and a member of the Marshall's office

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/3-kil ... f217&ei=15

"Man." As Ann Coulter would say, he is NOT a white male. If he was, we'd know. We'd know because the media would report it.

In total, 8 members of law enforcement were shot. 3 fatalities and one is still critical.

Percentage change of homebuyers since 2015



Real Estate Investment companies: up 4%
Repeat home buyers: up 4%

First time home buyers: DOWN 18%

I want to say to the young kids, guys, you are not going to be able to afford to buy something that is glorious to live in the way your apartment with the gym, the infinity pool, the coffee bar, and rock climbing wall, is. You want to own for the first time, buy something that is old, small, shitty, and in the middle of nowhere. That is all you (or any) first time home buyer can afford. That is what WE all did.

[Dave23]

That’s simply just not true.

[innocentbystander]

Not true Dave?

You were able to afford to buy a brand new McMansion right out of the gate?

[Dave23]

Are you saying there’s nothing between “old, small, shitty, and in the middle of nowhere” and “brand new McMansion”?

Because it seems you are…and then you double down with “that’s all any first time buyer can afford” and “that’s what we all did”…which is just silly.

[innocentbystander]

Point taken Dave.

Yes, I suppose there are quite a few options in between “old, small, shitty, and in the middle of nowhere” and “brand new McMansion”. But I would add that most (dare I say, almost all) young people are forced to settle for something far less than what they really want for that first home. And I would further add that (nowadays) many would be first time home buyers are simply not willing to settle the way they used to 50 years ago (and even, 20 years ago.) So today, what I hear from them is a lot of bitching about how they can't afford to buy anything. No, you can afford to buy something, just not anything that you really want to live in. My first home wasn't that much more than a shit hole. I didn't want it. But it was cheap, I could live in it, and I could build equity with it. And I dumped it the instant I could.

Anyway, the point of the article that I posted was showing the numbers. Yes, we are way down on the number of first time home buyers, way the fuck down. That IS true. That is not in dispute. And we are up on people buying multiple homes and up on investment companies buying homes. What I think is happening is the investors are buying all the "old, small, shitty, and in the middle of nowhere" homes, fixing them up, and renting them out. So that takes a lot of the inventory out of the market for the first time homebuyer.

[Dave23]

Now you’re getting it…

[innocentbystander]

We are in some kind of a transition. I don't know what this is that is going on, but I do know, it is happening.

Housing? I don't see a whole lot of small, cookie cutter houses going up anywhere. All new residential builds are HUGE McMansion builds. Now the small, new, cheapie residential builds, they are condos stacked on top of each other and they are not so cheap. They are efficient and use up only a tiny amount of space (no yard), but they still cost an arm and a leg for a young person just starting out.

Romance? Children and family formation? That "Portion-Polygamy" rears its ugly head. Most of the young girls are more focused on social media and influencing than they are in selecting a mate who they have a reasonable chance of making their husband. So what winds up happening is the young ladies all unknowingly (or maybe even knowingly) wind up sharing their own personal version of Andrew Tate. And their man has a harem that he fucks. And they just go along with that so long as they can post pictures of being with him (wherever) to gloat to their girlfriends who can not secure an Andrew Tate. And the other 96% of young men who can't be Andrew Tate wind up jerking off to porn all the time for their "release." And Scott Galloway says, not good citizens. Ask a feminist what should happen to these 96% of men and they shrug their shoulders and say they should probably just kill themselves.

Tax codes? Screw the working man. Just screw him. You make big bucks and you still rent an apartment? Excellent. You have no mortgage deduction and you paying full freight on your income taxes. People who own stocks are making out like bandits provided they don't actually "sell" because of capital gains taxes. As long as they remain in the market and don't sell (and they aren't) their assets just keep going up and up, linearly at this point. Young people who want to avoid taxes, they gamble with bitcoin and other crypto currencies.

Something fucked up is happening out there. I don't know how to stop it or even if we should make any real effort to try to stop it.

a couple of keto recipes that I've been perfecting

neither of them are groundbreaking but they are really good

the first is pizza casserole - so this is essentially pizza without the crust.

cook a pound of Italian sausage put it in a casserole pan. This is the base. Then put your pizza sauce (I use Rao's Marinara) over it, followed by a generous layer of shredded or sliced mozzarella. Now put pepperoni on top of the cheese followed by whatever other pizza toppings you like. For us its onion, bell pepper , green olives and mushrooms. Sprinkle a light layer of mozzarella on top of that and then cook in an oven for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Its a hot mess when it comes out of the oven and trying to get it on a plate but its great, and makes great leftovers too

the next is something I came up with on my own.

get some healthy sized chicken breasts , lay them flat on a cutting board and cut 3 slits into them being careful not to cut all the way thru. Lather olive oil on them to where they have a good coating on it.
buy a bag of frozen onion/bell pepper mix or dice them fresh and sautee them in olive oil in a frying pan for about 7 minutes. buy some queso crumble (cheese, comes in a package shaped like a large white hockey puck) and crumble the cheese and put it in the two outside slits of your chicken breast, then fill the center slit with the onion/bell pepper mix.

take a mix of garlic powder and cilantro and spread that on the exposed chicken breast that has the olive oil on it.
Now crumble up some more queso and put that on top, and finally cover the top of that with chunky salsa.

Cook it in the oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

we serve it with seasoned asparagus.
