Jesus WWE is getting in such a rut...

I can be cool with the Smackdown GM say, "oh let's wait for next Friday for this surprise!"

But to do the same bullshit on Monday? God damn you all, stop being so cut and paste on shit.

It's really cooled off in the last 2-3 months...

But it's not 100%

While we're at this and 15 year car loans why don't we add a 25 year student loan repayment with a massive tax bomb at the end of that too?

Having had death threats against me by RW peeps on Twitter - I feel for these people, they weren't ready for what came.
NEW: Some math teachers took a photo wearing t-shirts reading "Problem Solved" on Halloween

There was no connection to Charlie Kirk, but some right-wing influencers and GOP politicians insisted there was

Dozens of death threats followed. Here's what happened -->

One photo, a deluge of threats: Inside the Arizona high school turned upside down by right-wing activists
A group of math teachers — some of whom were fans of Charlie Kirk — had their lives turned upside down this week over false accusations about a Halloween photo.

Imagine writing about sticker/net pricing of college, not admitting that the discounts students receive are relative to the annual state and/or internal funds and what the Feds say students get based on their familial situations then say it's college's faults for not being transparent...

Does anyone think this administration is actually gonna do what the bill says it will have to do?

I don't think so... They'll do what they want and ignore the future court orders.

In a session someone legit said, "Just having dinner together improves financial outcomes..."

What?! The fuck it does, families who are more financially better off have dinner together more often BECAUSE they can and mom/dad don't have to work 2nd/3rd shift to make shit work.

Good I wasn't on it.

So enough Senate Dems cave and get nothing on healthcare, so that the House Dems can block it?

And then eat the fucking loss because now it will look stupid for them to *vote to block the bipartisan agreement.

You all could have done nothing and let the Republicans eat all the shit alone.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

Do I have any rich benefactors who want to pay my way for Law School?

I promise you, I'll fucking ace that shit - pass the bar - and dedicate my life to fucking every single ICE agent who did anything illegal.

Remember they NEED Trump to get away with this and he's old AF.
Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

Imo, Idiots if they cave now public opinion will shift on them and they'll own both the shutdown AND healthcare costs.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Gen whatever is after Millennials can hand their children down just 15 more years of payments on their first and only house with that new 50 year loan!

Haha so about as much as JD had spent for his vacations?

At least make it a much bigger number for healthcare for millions.
With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”
November 9, 2025 at 7:39 PM
So let's game some shit out...

1. 50 year mortgage - IF you can even save for the down payment which is the core issue still

2. 7-year car loan (becoming normalized) for a $50k+ new car

3. 25 year repayment on IDR w/ Tax Bomb.

Never catch up, the banks and government owns all of your money.

Just cancelled my flight to Denver on Tuesday for #ASHE - driving instead.

I don't trust I won't be stranded in Denver for a while and unable to get a rental car out.

I don't trust this administration has kept the airways safe. I had that issue before the shutdown, too, due to DOGE.

Road trip!

The problems with housing for younger adults isn't the payment options available - it's the upfront costs.

You know the down payment.

Having a 50 mortgage option is fucking stupid by any metric - same with the 7 year car loan.

It does nothing to solve the core issues and xfers more to banks.
