It's $300 less, not $300 more.

No matter how much you are paying, you can afford to pay $300 less.

A discount of $60000 is not "nothing at all". At current rates, it's about $300 off your monthly payment.

Just google "foreclosure auction" in your area. Those houses will generally sell below market.

"Tesla is going down the toilet" is not insider information.

“The market is having trouble digesting the multidimensional chess that Trump and his team are playing,” said Michael Block, market strategist at Third Seven Capital. “This multidimensional chess game is not going well for the grand master.

LOL, you aren't playing 3D chess when you flip a chessboard.

Of all the news in the past weeks, "5% of Democrats join Republicans in an inconsequential vote" is the least of my concerns.

The first line of your link:

Not the Netherlands.

The Netherlands does not in any way control Greenland...

Why is Greenland bound to a treaty signed by the Netherlands?

Nobody promised Trump would end up in prison. There was a very good chance that a cultist on his jury would have refused to convict. Or he might have been found guilty only on lesser charges and ended up paying a fine. Juries are unpredictable and often disappointing, from OJ Simpson to Kyle Rittenhouse.

It sounds like you expected the judicial system to do what voters failed to do. But the judicial system can't stop Trump from being elected president. That was our responsibility as voters. Don't blame judges when they can't clean up our mess.

Trump has lost several court cases already, and many are just getting started. For example, today Cathy Harris was reinstated to the Merit Systems Protection Board.

If you expect the judicial system to broadly restore the status quo under Biden, then you're probably going to be disappointed. Any victories will be on a case-by-case basis. That's literally how the judicial system operates.

All arrests end with an appearance before a judge. If it's obvious baloney, the judge will dismiss.

 

Ending the Gaza war: Three phase proposal

PHASE ONE

  • It would begin with a six-week ceasefire, during which the IDF would withdraw from populated areas of Gaza

  • Palestinian civilians would return to their homes in all areas of Gaza
  • Humanitarian assistance would "surge", with 600 trucks a day entering the strip, and hundreds of thousands of temporary housing units sent by the international community

During that six week period, negotiations mediated by the US and Qatar would continue. If successful, the next part of the plan would begin.
