If true, will nursing homes be known as “ender homes?” Regardless, the struggle is real estate, & if private equity firms keep buying up new homes, we’ll soon be a nation of renters, and after that, a nation of digital sharecroppers w/40 pixels, a mouse, & an Amazon gift card.

That’s why I subscribe to “The New York End of Times.” I honestly thought my subscription would have ended by now, but it’s been, like, 30 years. I think I’ll switch my subscription to “The Paid Post.”I’ve been preparing for tomorrow since yesterday, give or take a day or two.

Because they’re kind of a letdown after completing finishing school? Why America stopped building the “starter home” - The Washington Post
apple.news
Concepts about starter homes seem inconsistent with today’s prices and expansive floor plans, leaving many first-time homebuyers with few options.

ICE officers are grown men who cosplay & live-action role play as the Hamburgler & real cops who, unlike ICE’s imposters, graduated from the police academies that trained them. ICE officers are poorly trained, deputized failed cops who’d never pass real as real po-lice officers.
A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I'm real outspoken about my opinion of the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate https://t.co/t7WQ00mjtd

Trump saying “the Treasury is ‘billions of dollars over-budget,’” proving Trump ignorantly thinks the Treasury is like the National Strategic Oil Reserves, which don’t lower gas prices when their spigots are opened. Trump thinks we’re as stupid & easily distracted as he is.

“President Trump declared on Wednesday evening in a New York Times interview that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his ‘own virility.’ When pressed for clarification, Trump said: ‘Yeah, there is one thing: My own mind. I’m a legend there.’”

Should Donald Trump lose Congress by a landslide in November, as he should, he’ll likely get impeached a third time and be convicted of insurrection and criminal graft. If that happens, despite being a shameful national embarrassment, at least he’ll be a man of many convictions.

Donald Trump, the US’s gaslighter-in-chief and main spokesman for corporate welfare, government downsizing and cryptocurrency grift, risks the good faith and credit of his own country by selling out its honor with pathetic lies to distract from his crimes, corruption & cronyism.

Patrick Ferguson allegedly had an opportunity to shoot George Washington in the back but refused to do so because he was a “man of honor.” President Trump, a man with no honor, two impeachments and one criminal conviction, defamed Renee Good by calling her a domestic terrorist.

Patrick Ferguson was a British loyalist killed by Patriot forces that desecrated his body after battle. Today, Trump did the same thing to Renee Good by falsely accusing her of being a domestic terrorist after an ICE agent murdered her, an unarmed legal observer and US citizen.

When did a car's wheels stuck in snow because they can't find traction, getting stuck in the snow, or stuck in a drift, or losing traction, become a capital offense?
