From HousingWire:
Foreclosure inventory drops to less than 1% nationally
Foreclosure inventory in August declined significantly from last year, hitting its lowest point since the housing boom, according to the August 2016 National Foreclosure Report from CoreLogic, a property information, analytics and data-enabled solutions provider.
Foreclosure inventory decreased 29.6% while completed foreclosures decreased 42.4% to 37,000, down from last year’s 64,000, according to the report. This is down slightly from last month’s 38,000 completed foreclosures. The decrease is 69% less than its peak of 118,551 in September 2010.
…
In August, the national foreclosure inventory hit 351,000, or 0.9% of all homes with a mortgage. This is down from 499,000, or 1.3%, in August 2015. This inventory is the lowest it’s been since July 2007.
…
“Foreclosure inventory fell by 30% from the previous year, the largest year-over-year decline since January 2015,” CoreLogic Chief Economist Frank Nothaft said.“The large decline in the distressed inventory has been one of the drivers of steady home price growth which helps Americans increase their home equity to support increased spending or cushion future economic risk,” Nothaft said.
The number of mortgages in serious delinquency, mortgages that are 90 days or more past due including loans in foreclosure or real estate owned, saw a significant decrease of 20.6% from last year. At 1.1 million mortgages, or 2.8%, mortgages in serious delinquency hit its lowest point since Sept. 2007.
“Foreclosure rates and serious delinquency continued to trend down in August as real estate markets across many parts of the U.S. exhibit strong demand growth and rising prices,” CoreLogic President and CEO Anand Nallathambi said.
Based on the last CoreLogic report, NY is poised to take over the lead in the next few months.
Foreclosure Inventory
NY – 2.9%
NJ – 3.2%
Year over Year Change
NY – Down 23.8%
NJ – Down 32.1%
Serious Delinquency
NY – 5.5%
NJ – 6.3%
Year over Year Change
NY – Down 19.5%
NJ – Down 22.9%
Not that it matters much, since NY and NJ are now the major outliers, the next closest state is currently sitting at 1.8%.
Amazon opening grocery stores?

So let me get this straight: I, a conservative female, have spent years defending the Republican Party against claims of sexism. 1/

Some interesting insight into what was going on behind the scenes in Washington Friday and Saturday night.
-Paul Ryan’s staff was pressuring others to withdraw support for Trump
-Ryan’s plan was to ask Pence to replace him
-Plan on losing to Hillary in 2016 to pave the way for a Ryan/Rubio ticket in 2020
I don’t see how their model translates into brick-and-mortar grocery. But, they have the cash to experiment with other business models. Grocery delivery is a hot area right now, especially in urbanized metros.
Hell, we use Fresh Direct every once in a while when we are busy and can’t make it to a store. The prices aren’t outrageous, and its incredibly convenient.
I could see how Amazon might view this a threat, it looks like Walmart is having a second go at grocery deliver too (they did try this previously and failed).
@MBGlenn
When I saw Republican men getting attacked I stood up for them. I came to their defense. I fought on their behalf. 2/

I fought on behalf of a movement I believed in. I fought on behalf of my principles while other women told me I hated my own sex. 3/

Jeff Sessions says that he wouldn’t “characterize” Trump’s unauthorized groping of women as “assault.” Are you kidding me?! 8/

Others try to rebuke his comments, yet STILL choose to vote for a sexual predator – because let’s be honest, that’s what he is. 9/

“What he said is wrong, and the way he treats women is wrong, but it’s not wrong enough for me to not vote for him.” Thanks, cowards. 10/

Various men in the movement are writing it off as normal, confirming every stereotype the left has thrown at them. So I’m done. 11/
@MBGlenn
I’m sooo done. If you can’t stand up for women & unendorse this piece of human garbage, you deserve every charge of sexism thrown at you. 12

This latest Trump story is yet another media driven narrative. The man has no class and that hasn’t been disputed.
Does anyone want to look at the actual record of how women were treated by the respective candidates? I don’t think so because only one of them enabled a r@pist to operate for decades.
IMHO, it should be about the issues.
Look at the side that tries to deflect from the issues. That is the side that cannot win on them.
In litigation, you are taught that if the law is against you, argue the facts, and if the facts are against you, argue the law.
I was ready to give Trump a shot, but his inner circle is repugnant.
I’m with you on the issues vs. distractions. The fact that the media staged the story to be unleashed coinciding with the latest wiki dump tells me all that I need to know.
It’s all out collusion between the campaign, administration, and media to an extent that hasn’t been seen in my lifetime. Are they all sharing common office space to coordinate activities?
SX,
To me, the ultimate issue is which side will better preserve the balance of power and are constitutional system. I think that the evidence is starting to become overwhelming that the current administration in the future administration will make the Nixon administration look like amateurs in their disrespect for the rule of law and their willingness to use the apparatus of government to further their ends.
The next GTG should be over taco bowls at Trump grill. Whaddya say guys?

Why the hell would I want the president of the United States to think and speak like that? Anyone else caught saying this crap would have been gone, but it’s trump, he gets a free pass to say and do whatever the f@ck he wants. And his followers support him like a god/king who can do no wrong. It’s the definition of insanity and I don’t know how the hell America got to this point. We have a WWE former employee running for the highest position in the United States. Can’t make this stuff up. How many idiots are there out there, that a loser like this gets to run for president?
If he wins, our kids have to look up to a tool like this? Really? Insanity!!

Media driven narrative? They put out stories that sell. Supporters of trump act like the media is against him, but they are dead wrong. They put out stories that sell, it’s as simple as that. Trump was god given gift to the media and they are eating it up. Trump would never ever have gotten this far without all the media attention he has received. He has been given a ton of free advertising by our media. So enough with the bs myth that the media out to get trump. They are out there TO MAKE MONEY. And trump’s dumb a$$ moves on a regular basis sell lots of stories.

And anyone that thinks trump is the anti-establishment vote against career politicians, you sir are an idiot. He has already become a politician. He has hired a bunch of career politicians including our very own, christie, to work on his team. So please please don’t tell me you are voting for trump based on a vote against career politicians. That’s just ignorant.
All the Hillary haters don’t realize that they have actually given her a free ticket to the white house by supporting trump. Nice job, guys!

You mean like Bill Clinton taking advantage of an intern and having sex IN THE OVAL OFFICE. Do we need to bring the cigar into this?
Since when have politicians been morally upstanding when it comes to sexual relationships?
Hell, it is EXTREMELY LIKELY that NJ’s own Menendez had sex with an underage prostitute in the Dominican Republic, who was offered to him as a bribe.
The whole god damn lot of them are sex addicts. Spitzer, Wiener, Edwards, etc etc etc. What about still sitting Barney Frank’s partner running a brothel out of his house. Yeah, he had no idea.
Grim, what do other people have to do with Trump. Why are you defending him? I can go back in history and find politicians from both side of the field that have done messed up stuff, but I’m not going to do that in support of a loser like Trump.
And yes, he is a loser. Look at his skills in running those golf courses in Great Britain. That’s the only businesses we have access to his numbers, and he is losing money on them. Running a failing business. The guy is terrible when it comes to business. He constantly loses, but plays it off like he is some big winner.
lost,
As opposed to Hellery Clinton who tried to silence women on behalf of her rap1st, predator husband. Your handle fits.
I’m not defending him, he’s a f*cking idiot who stepped in shit.
But what I can’t stand is the holier than though double standard now adopted by democrats.
Especially the nonsensical quote about “going high when they go low”.
From my perspective, both sides have their hands pretty low, like in their pants.
Lost – Grow up already.
Current Potus is no angel either. P*ssy and Ribs speech? Choom Gang? Or how about the the CNN video in 2008 of him showing off his junk on an airplane full of reporters and campaign staffers?
Power and the quest for power both inflates egos and corrupts those in power.
As Nom says the checks and balances are all we have…..
The guy is terrible when it comes to business.
$887,000,000,000 on non-existent shovel ready jobs; the Obama-care website contracted out to Michelle’s friends; Solendra and the plethora of failed green companies…. And that was your money being pilfered.

“Bill de Blasio: I stay in touch with him and his team a lot. He has recently asked to have increased direct access to her so he can tell his progressive partners what she thinks about issues important to them. He also thinks he can be most helpful to her if he has that kind of relationship. He wants to be seen as the loudest progressive voice for her and in order to do that he needs access. In the next 6 months, someone else will have to inherit this relationship because it will not be tenable for HRC. “
No, I will not support barbaric behavior or talk. Telling me everyone does it, doesn’t make it any better. An enlightened position would not be for this kind of behavior with women. It took a long time to get to this enlightened position of equality in humanity, and I’m not about to give it all away by brushing off what trump has said and done.

re: “everyone talks like that”
No just the deplorables.
lost, not everyone speak like that but it is fairly common for men to say some rather nasty stuff. Both Trump and Clinton are morally reprehensible people in it for power, ego, money, etc. Neither will do right for the people, but the way I see it is that Trump is an outsider, politically inexperienced, and will be a lame duck president regardless of who controls clowngress and the senate. I’ll take 4 years of no legislation over HRC’s redistribution plan, more great ideas like Obamacare, possible war with Russia if we keep up this Syria nonsense. I actually think that Trump who is so hated by all politicians and elites if he became President would accomplish very little and given our options that is probably as close to ideal as we can get. Also in international relations he is so unpredictable that I actually think foreign nations will have more fear and respect for us that we have under Obama.
Wikileaks first leaked information (video footage) of a 2007 airstrike in Baghdad that killed Iraqi journalists and the civilians that came to their aid. I fail to see how this would help the “republicans”.

Words vs Actions…
You think those innocent children we see on the news getting slaughtered now by USA supplied weapons in Syria and Iraq love Hillary Clinton? Or how about those children drowning in the Aegean and the Med nearly every day? Who destabilized the whole damm region? Bush has been out of office 8 years, before those kids were even born. The whole mess in Syria and Libya is all Hillary’s and Obama’s doing, and many, many more are going to die because of their actions.
I am not arguing he is not a shitbag. We’ve had a long history of discussing Trump’s general douchbaggery pre-politician.
But I’ll take a page from Fabius’ playbook.
Generally, democrats have been silent against talking out about members of their own party who have been accused of committing sexual assault or taking part in generally non-moral sexual behavior.
So, by being complicit about it, they are CONDONING it.
Now the democratic party is the moral majority?
The irony is unbelievable.
Why is Anthony Weiner not in prison? His ex-wife is a superstar because his dick was on the cover of the post, and in the cell phones of underage girls.
There was a time when that guy would be found dead, and nobody would bother questioning it.
What excuse will the left come up with in the next few years when the Executive and Legislative branches are in their control in a month from now? And don’t forget the Judicial branch in due time.
When exactly did Mrs. Clinton argue for the impeachment of her husband?
Oh, yeah.
Sorry, but screwing an intern as the POTUS is rape, why is there no question of the outrageous impropriety of that situation.
Again, do not confuse this as a defense of Trump or his behavior, it is NOT.
I am questioning the egregious political behavior of these hypocritical actors.

are you related to Michael?
I hate all of these politicians, but you’re being such a whiny bitch about just one guy and his gang. He’s not going to win, and he’s clearly not even on your team, so stop being such a crybaby!
Is Trump the only guy out there you worry about as a “role model? Who is your ideal role model for America’s youth?
The Clinton conduct towards his intern was wrong on so many levels, let alone an EEOC type of misuse of power by an Employer, let alone the employer being the highest office in the land.
Lost – I wouldn’t call the words Trump spoke, behind closed doors when he didn’t realize his mic was on is barbaric. In fact, I know that myself and hundreds of my friends have said things far worse behind closed doors to get a rise out of each other or to just horse around guy talk.
If women knew how men spoke behind closed doors they would never have anything to do with us, further if they knew what was going on in our brains and NOT said, they would really freak out.
And I am a Father of both a son and daughter – people speak lewd and gross. But behind closed doors. Get off your high horse. Especially when you freak out over closed door conversations, but are willing to dismiss multiple female victims alleging sexual assault, just because “he is not on the ballot.”
Bill did what Trump bragged about being able to do. He used his power, position, and celebrity to seduce someone in an incredibly suggestible and vulnerable position.
Why would Bill even be permitted back into the building, regardless of his relation.
Of course as we all know “rule of law” is dog whistle code for white supremacy.

Ottoman – You bigotry against those that do not have sufficient melanin production is showing. Check your privilege!
Grim,
I am no longer a betting man, but I am very confident (four+ sigmas) that Trump will not be President. Time to move on — it is 10-0 bottom of the 9th; leading by 30 points with a minute left; or trailing 5-0 with two players of the losing team getting red cards. It’s more over than when a new guy from India comes in with sweets to someone’s desk and says, “Hi, I am Asok from Cognizant. What is your good name? … Wonderful to meet you. Kindly partake these delicacies, and then kindly start training me as your replacement. I truly hope that you have a golden parachute and are retiring to a mansion in Hawaii”. Of course, there is a chance that one gets to keep the job, but wouldn’t count on it.
By continuously defending him when the logical thing is to wait and hope it is over (invoking Beyonce and Rap lyrics will only keep the issue more alive and will hurt him), the right will basically end up giving a pass to Hillary administration.
By focusing on specifics on policy (e.g. should dividends be taxed as income or not [yes], should carry forward loophole be fixed [yes, I am with Trump on that issue]), there will at least be some policy discussion and possibility of progress.
Otherwise, it will simply be “yo mamma” insults everywhere, and Hillary plus the congress will silently agree on some major policy issues while outwardly fighting (a good cop, bad cop routine).
May be many higher income group people get into this stuff because the system works very well for them? But, just like the danger of a genocide-lite, the flip side is a risk of a French Revolution-lite… A more savvy version of Bernie can shake up the system as badly as a savvy version of Trump.
Nom already maintains counts of people that flee the country because (please don’t laugh…) the taxes are too high! Imagine if a savvy Bernie goes after the rich guys!
Jesus…now there’s CNN footage of Obama showing his junk to female reporters?
Trump won’t win simply because the hatred of him is stronger than the hatred of Hillary. What I don’t understand is how he became the reason for everything that is wrong in America.
I don’t understand your India comment. My dad came here with basically nothing, and went from sweeping the floor in a machine shop to basically running the company.
My position is that everyone gets a shake, especially immigrants. I associate myself more with immigrants than with longstanding residents. But, I don’t stand behind political manipulation of what I believe is an unfair system.
If Bill’s actions disqualify Hillary, why is this an issue only when Trump’s tape is leaked? Why did not disqualify Hillary for SoS? Where was this outrage two weeks ago? A disqualification is a disqualification, period.
Grim, why are you going all in for Trump? You know the difference between consensual and non-consensual. You know the difference between accusation and admission (there is an ongoing rape case against Trump [the accuser was 13 year old at that time]). You know that writing a book about terrorists flying planes into a building is very very different from terrorists flying planes into WTC.
This doesn’t make me a closed minded isolationist.
And don’t forget that I am a pet of that machine.
Pet part probably the same thing.
You want to know my position?
Neither candidate is qualified to serve. They are both examples of EVERYTHING that is wrong in American politics.
May god have mercy on us all.
Hillary will win, but not on her merits or qualifications, but because her competitor was a complete assbag. Congratulations for having less suck.
If they both died in a plane wreck, we would be better off. I still hold out hope that Trump is assassinated and Hillary has a stroke.
This is my position.
I only hope that regardless of who wins, they hold office like Obama spend two terms playing golf.
It was here; it wasn’t on TV shockingly enough.

But, I don’t stand behind political manipulation of what I believe is an unfair system.
As opposed to? Is there someone that actually stands behind the political manipulation (other than some major power brokers or actual politicians)? It needs to be fixed. But John Smith III, Esq. lobbies on behalf of Super Rich Bass Turd, the boss, who has deals with Body Shop Ltd. in India, so the fix needs to be there. For all we know, Asok comes in with sometimes no job guarantee (illegal for H1B’s but some do), pays for his own visa processing (again, illegal), and is on his own if he doesn’t find a job (again, the company that sponsors the H1B is responsible for all — Asok shouldn’t be here unless there is a guaranteed job, and he shouldn’t have to pay for anything other than flight fare and the sweets).
Rich Bass Turd plays golf with the the Indian version of Rich Bass Turd and gets to then complain against people like Asok, so that his previous employee who is now selling soda can redirect his anger away from these two.
The Asok and sweets started off as a jab at someone here that complains about his job getting outsourced but expresses undying loyalty to the bosses that hire and fire him as needed!

“Some (weapons) may have went out under control that we had with our personnel over there and the others went to these militia. That’s how they lost control over it,” Turi said. “I can assure you that these operations did take place and those weapons did go in different directions.”

TL;DR — Lena Dunham can’t imagine why OBJ isn’t into her at Met Gala — he must be shy or gay. O_o
More crickets from the left on Dunham’s gay-bashing and/or narcissism — I mean only a gay wouldn’t find her attractive, right?
Risking contact with Kardashians is one reason I’m glad I’m not in NJ.
The fact that we even know who they are is a blight on our society.
ChiFi;
It doesn’t bother lost or most of the public, particularly not those on the left; See, 80 million copies of ’50 Shades’ sold. “Any weapon to hand” is the motto of the left.

Wikileaks just dropped PART 5 that is two dumps in one day.
RELEASE: The Podesta Emails Part 5 (673 new emails)
Juice,
What does part 5 say?
@MaxBoot
Trump & his followers a live in an alternative reality, Bizarro world, where up is down and black is white.
@DylanByers
Sincerely curious: Trump folks who hear Rudy say he doesn’t remember seeing HRC on 9/11 don’t care he’s lying or don’t believe he’s lying?
What could it POSSIBLY SAY that would cause any Hillary believers to change their mind? That they rigged the primary? That she took millions from Wall St and offered preferential treatment in return? That she set up a private email system to circurmvent disclosure laws? That she wants completely open immigration and to annihilate the countries middle class? What is left that she hasn’t already done or is planning to do that could hurt her image any further?
nwnj3,
It appears that she is entirely insulated. I really think there is nothing, absolutely nothing she can’t do. I would seriously say we are witnessing the disintegration of a nation.
He was working, Parkinsons Puzzy was figuring out how to make (more?)money from it.

It looks like unbelievably calm water right now, I agree. My gut tells me the water is quite hot and will come to a boil soon.

BTW, If the media is in bed with the campaign why is it that we believe the polls are still pure?

I said exactly that when Comey announced non-prosecution on the e-mail server: If she can so blatantly flout the law and skate before she is even elected, what is supposed to convince her to obey the law once she’s in the Oval Office?
All hail Madame President BleachBit.
Catholic Spring?
“There needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a middle ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic Church,” Sandy Newman, president and founder of the progressive nonprofit Voices for Progress, writes to Podesta in an email titled “opening for a Catholic Spring? just musing.”
ExPat [14:12];
why is it that we believe the polls are still pure?
They are no less pure than the ballots themselves – early and widespread mail-in voting; dead registrants in Va.; illegals and other aliens getting registered; no ID at the polls; vulnerable electronic counting machines. The media polls have no less to do with reality than the actual vote counts will.
Con’t [14:30]
And isn’t it unusual how the Margin of Fraud always breaks in only one direction. O_o
I think that’s just science. Dead people always vote D.
Now, just for fun, let’s swap in another religion in the quote from my post above: “There needs to be a Muslim Spring, in which Muslims themselves demand the end of a middle ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Muslim Faith,” Sandy Newman, president and founder of the progressive nonprofit Voices for Progress, writes to Podesta in an email titled “opening for a Muslim Spring? just musing.”

That she took millions from Wall St and offered preferential treatment in return?
Just Wall St.? Add from the Saudis and Yemenis in exchange for arms funneled to terrorists; from Russia for cover on expanding its holdings in Uranium mining operation… why else would the Clinton Crime Family Foundation exist if not to put US policy up for sale?
And you are right – the depressingly large segment of people who support just her don’t care.
Perhaps we are living in the Post Role-Model Era.
Probably good advice.
re: Role Model
Best advice for the kids that are old enough and aware enough of the stakes of an election like this is to tell them don’t believe the hype. There is propaganda from all sides as they struggle for power and dominance.
Everyone I ever knew that came from a communist country to the US said they always knew what propaganda was since there was only one newspaper and one channel on TV or Radio repeating only one message.
Here we have many different messages some propaganda and some not meaning there can be at times, even more propaganda here in the US than a communist country and most people born and raised here really don’t even realize the amount of propaganda they’re being fed daily.
In their desperation to prop up Hillary big media definitely crossed the line from bias to complete propaganda. The journalistic standard was completely abandoned.
My response to anyone I meet from the media going forward will be to laugh right in their face.
Juice,
“Best advice for the kids that are old enough and aware enough of the stakes of an election like this is to tell them don’t believe the hype. There is propaganda from all sides as they struggle for power and dominance.”
Doing that now with my 13YO. And reminding her to spout the party line in public.
“Everyone I ever knew that came from a communist country to the US said they always knew what propaganda was . . .”
Same here–I know plenty of them and all of them see their former C0mmunist leadership in the form of our current democratic party.
Pravda.
Maybe the Russians are just trying to help?
Ira Magaziner: CHAI would like to request that President Clinton call Sheik Mohammed to thank him for offering his plane to the conference in Ethiopia and expressing regrets that President Clinton’s schedule does not permit him to attend the conference. Ed Wood has prepared a briefing memo for President Clinton about the call which is attached. Please contact either Ed or me if you have any questions or if you need anything else from us.
Thanks
Ira
Amitabh Desai: Unless Sheikh Mo has sent us a $6 million check, this sounds crazy to do.
Doug Band: If he doesn’t do it Chai will say he didn’t give the money bc of wjc.
John Podesta: I agree with Doug and this seems rather easy and harmless and not a big time sink.

“In their desperation to prop up Hillary big media definitely crossed the line from bias to complete propaganda. The journalistic standard was completely abandoned.”
The best part about the email dump is that we have actual names. Those “journalists” are forever compromised. Some like Kurt Eichenwald came out long ago, but the ones in the Podesta and Palmieri emails are like deep cover agents were were outed. They should be treated like known spies from here on in and fed disinformation.
re: “Those “journalists” are forever compromised.”
As are the MSM that own them and give them marching orders.
You guys say this like the average democrat even cares.
As the usual suspects here if they see a problem with this.
They will answer no.
Grim – We are back full circle to cognitive dissonance theory, just like the housing bubble it all could come crashing down.
Apropos
“You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.”
“Look at our current candidates. No one appears to like either one of them. Their approval ratings are at record lows. It’s not about who you like more, it’s about who you hate less. Sure, we can blame the media, the system, and the candidates themselves, but let’s be honest – Donald and Hillary are there because we put them there. The electorate has tolerated the intolerable. We’ve treated this entire process like the final episode of American Idol. What did we expect?”
Why did (cigargate) not disqualify Hillary for SoS?
I’ve been bitching about Hillary being weak for not dumping Bill in the White House for as long as I can remember. I also have complained about how the Clinton’s used New York (especially Harlem) for huge political opportunity. They are both amazing opportunists. And Chelsea is probably next in line. You’ll see. Both of these clowns do not deserve your votes. The income gap and pay to play politics is what is absolutely destroying America and neither of them are a vote against either. Bend over middle class. Time to fund the rich.
In other news, I just riffed three of my direct reports this week. Two of them will have their jobs performed in our Indian office. Am I mad at Indian’s? Hell no. Not their fault in any way. But I blame George Bush with Bill Clinton’s overwhelming support for NAFTA for making this opportunity possible. It didn’t help me much, but it sure helped my company do more for less. At what point does our economy completely grind to a halt? It’s the middle class that spends and keeps dollars recycling. Shame the middle class is being outsourced to enrich the upper class. How can we blame the workers for taking our jobs when it’s the leaders who have enriched themselves and made it all possible?
Buy American made jeans, and my whiskey.
It won’t fix it, but it’s a start.
Nothing like high grade denim and high octane alcohol.
Grim,
“Look at our current candidates. No one appears to like either one of them. Their approval ratings are at record lows.”
Your bias at play. Hillary has had high approvals for a long time — she’s been the “most admired woman” for ever (once losing to Mother Teresa and once to Laura Bush?). A lot of people supported her in 2008, and are supporting her in 2012. Please don’t go for the false equivalency. As of now, Hillary has no virtually no opposition, so her critics and supporters should try to influence policy instead of claiming that she smells of sulfur or worse, only celebrating the kamikaze mission that Trump is undertaking against GOP. With a little bit more majority in 2008, we’d have had medicare for all in the ACA instead of the nice gift to health care companies.
This board (as is rest of media) are hell bent on painting her and Obama as the devil. No useful discussion, let alone any good, can come from that inflexible stance. Even simple things like climate change are at times met with a Fox-news level synchronized rebuttal and accusations here (how the hell has it ever become a partisan issue — when many here enough math and logic background).
On another note, please discourage posters that claim that they regularly hear people talk about women co-workers or friends or friends’ wives or daughters like how Donald talks. Our posts are all archived (unless Grim deletes them — and even then wayback machine will have a copy). In many cases, our families know each other here.
Good comments from Grim today. I enjoy reading his own opinions.
Turd, economic progress requires economizing. What Americans need to do is compete on a different level rather than settle for than mundane jobs, because our standard of living is at a level higher than most of the world. Americans need to have skills of value that can support that lifestyle. What does the US economy really need? More freedom, more savings plowed into useful investment (rather than plowed into funding government deficits and consumption and asset price bubbles), and taking education of future generations out of the hands of bureaucrats and excellence-stifling unions.

Dave Barry on Trump:
“I’m not saying he would be our first insane president,
but he would be our first openly insane president.”
Flee?
You’re being such a whiny cunt that I’m surprised that Trump hasn’t already grabbed you. Are you Michael’s long lost vajayjay?
P.S., I hate both Hilldog and Mother Teresa, though Hills is the greater existential threat to me, unless Saint Teresa resurrects and starts flying around shooting fire out of her eyes at nonbelievers.
Wtf are you talking about?

She has been hovering at 50’s and 60’s for over two decades. This election has been brutal — she got hammered from the left and the right. They will go up after she wins and gets off the campaign mode.
Are you disagreeing that she had been popular? Despite the numbers? When people are over-confident, and won’t even concede simple points, they end up winning by default because no one will respond to them, and they become more sure of themselves, and see everyone agreeing them with polite nods.
GOP should have just voted for Garland. Now they dont know who they will get if Hillary wins and GOP lose Majority.
Right, it seems as though the more she’s in the spotlight the less people like her. I remember a post not too long ago that blamed that entirely on sexism… meh; maybe when she runs for office and more people look at her, there’s just less to like? Maybe, I’m open to possibilities.
“Are you disagreeing that she had been popular?” No, but I would say in light of one many themes today that you can be popular and still not a good role model.

5:21 – the quote was from Mike Rowe on obligatory voting.
Grim, my bad… apologies. I misread it as you were claiming that no one liked her.
Grim,
I read the Mike Rowe piece and disagree with it. I like a lot of what he stands for and what he posts, but I can’t agree with this one. I get the whole uneducated voter piece, but what he misses, is that if you don’t vote you give a bigger mandate to the winner, you may not like.
This election is the perfect example. If you hate Hillary, you have to vote for Trump. If you don’t her majority is one vote bigger. If her majority is too big, she has a mandate to do anything. If it is a close race in the popular vote she doesn’t get the same leeway. You have to vote to provide the checks and balances.
When he says I’ll vote the other way to cancel your vote, if I don’t vote, your candidate wins anyway and you don’t get a chance to cancel out someone else’s vote.
That said, pulling the lever for Trump is getting harder and harder. Hillary is heading into Super Mandate territory.
And then Mike Rowe suggested people download and read the free book Economics in one Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. I agree.
The deeper and deeper they dig in to Trumps past, the uglier it gets. It makes you wonder how may payoffs, how many NDA’s are out there?
