Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

Believe me I know...my SO and I split our mortgage and she has a condo (my parents love there) that is another mortgage.

My (former liberal) father, who defends Trump is about to understand what the Dildo of Consequences is because I can't protect him from what's coming. He is 74, lives on SS, we reduce his rent, he is on Medicare and he has no savings.

Wait, your dad is now a trumper?
 
It’s worse for anybody currently holding a mortgage than the people who get a mortgage after the deduction is removed. The banks and mortgage companies have used that tax deduction as cover to lever mortgages than they were able
to afford prior to the deduction being enacted under Reagan(?). In the end, home values will go down, and mortgage issuers will see less profit. We may even see mortgage rates drop, too.

Does anyone even itemize anymore?
 
That's not my point. My point is Trump himself can't do **** without congress.

Trump owns Congress...for your point to be valid there would need to be a threat of push back. If he says to act they do and he gets the credit. Be as pedantic as you like its his call.

Hell I can prove it...a friend who uses TikTok sent me the message she saw as it shut down for her.

"A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the US. Unfortunately that means you can't use TikTok for now.

We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Stay tuned!".

All that will matter is it came back and he will get all the credit.

Yeah as his senility showed up and his Faux watching got more plentiful he basically went Trumper. I can sometimes talk reason to him but I honestly don't even try. It honestly breaks my heart. He isn't wearing hats or attacking people, he just believes all the misinformation.

My real father would hate this version of himself.

This is a lot of engineers at my work. They're young, too. It's scary how people with no liberal arts background have no protection against lies and bullsh-t. They just take the bad data as inputs and grind out their conclusions. GIGO.

Those distribution requirements where STEMies had to take philosophy and psych were important.

I got that same message.

As a neurospicy person with the ability to recognize patterns and a love of history....

And before you Righties hyperventilate with the excitement, let me remind you all how this one ends:

The one thing Nazis always do.

They lose.

I suppose in that case it'll be nice comfort I'll be in a billion pieces, floating in the upper atmosphere.

Or under permanent Chinese occupation.

Heh. When I was working in Munich, some of my American coworkers went to Dresden to visit a supplier, along with some Brits. The Americans blithely observed what a beautiful city Dresden was, with nice wide streets and many parks and open areas. The Brits pointed out that Dresden had the opportunity to recreate the city with a modern design due to “RAF urban planning.” Oof.

I'm not disputing this and you're still missing my point.
