I used to inspect vacant houses in Newark. There were some streets where I wouldn't even get out of my car. I'd take a picture of the front of the house and then lie on the documentation form and stated that a vagrant hassled me when I was doing the inspection so I fear my life and drove away. Mortgage companies would just look at the address and assume it was the truth.

Did they expect you to do that unarmed and alone?

I'm sure New Yorkers think this is important.

Pretty much. I carried peppers spray. But, yeah, I did it alone. I have video of me doing one house. Wanna see? This was seven years ago.

It’s heartbreaking that that kind real estate goes completely abandoned. You put a little toolshed in a trendy white neighborhood and they start at 750 g and that beautiful architecture there just rots away entirely worthless. Is that just white flight? Also, why isn’t it filled with crack vials and syringes and empty bottles? Squatters never invaded that space? Why not?

I had the Deku Tree dungeon theme from Zelda: Ocarina of Time playing from my TV and it sync'd up very eerily with this. I'm surprised you were never attacked.

Biden got creamed.

3,000,000 deportations
Voted for Iraq War
Voted against desegregation through bussing

And the looks on his face showed SHAME

Unfortunately for Yang real solutions take more than 30 seconds to explain.

i like that she brought up reparations but for real who even is this woman lol an avon peddler? does she run an essential oil mlm?

Frownland 06-28-2019 08:41 AM

I bet she really likes the love monologue in Interstellar.

Oh and she's a self help nutritionist writer. I didn't even need to look it up to know but I did and I was right.

i guess i shouldnt hate on her whole life :o: i didnt watch the whole thing too :/

i just didnt know who she was and when i saw her talk it threw me off because she sounded southern too. it was fun watching for the times i watched. bernie seemed strong.

Kamala wiped the floor with Biden

She really does have that x factor but I couldn't vote for a cop

Anteater 06-28-2019 09:25 AM

Looks like they cut off Yang's mic after that first question. Guess the whole UBI thing scared some people backstage. They'll let people talk 20 minutes about $17 trillion in reparations but the second you bring up something that might help all Americans...whoops, can't have that.

Both debates are getting destroyed by all the usual media outlets. CNN and their ilk say that Harris and others are advocating for open borders. I didn't really get that impression, but that's what's circulating.

I guess we can all agree that Biden got shotgunned to the face. Good riddance.

WWWP 06-28-2019 09:34 AM

Reparations would help all Americans but ok

I say give every African-American an equal share in the NFL. It’s owned exclusively by rich white guys and the labor is like 80% black. Football is an American institution and the NFL completely dominates the professional arena. The coaches and general managers should be elected and only black residents of the city of the team should be able to vote for whoever occupies those positions. Black people could vote on salary caps, rule changes and all that. For the black individual it would be a small piece of the pie but it’s better than nothing and it would keep paying. And it wouldn’t cost the tax payers anything. Plus it’s seriously rightfully theirs. If that’s not enough throw in the NBA too.

There’s no way to properly compensate for that kind of historical injustice but at least they’d be given the rights to the sports they made great in the first place.

Whites keep MLB though goddamnit. And hockey ffs

Americans need the soft human interest story. That’s why Biden was so smoked when Harris said she rode that bus in Berkeley. Although anyone who knows understands even the worst public school in the history of Berkeley is a million times better than any school in the history of Oakland. I mean she was privileged as **** but still Biden’s ass was up **** creek.

Wow. I guess y’all know that makes my blood boil. **** her.

I’ll pledge right now I’ll put away my anarchist card and vote for her if she wins the primary

If one of those *******s who won’t come out for Medicare for All pure and clean win I might vote for Trump just to be a dick. That **** about continuing Obamacare or some other keep your ****ty ass old insurance if you want to **** just ****ing no.

sometimes I fear she's too smart and policy heavy and is going to get one syllable word grandstanded on by Apeman Trump though

If I could just appoint someone of the 20 straight into the presidency I’d really very likely go with Bernie tbh

Also rotate the Supreme Court

Same as stacking with the stigma -

If the Dems did control the house the senate and the WH I’d be all about stacking the court - add an extra five super leftists -WORD!!!

I think he wants free healthcare to stop his balls from tingling.

Key 06-29-2019 09:24 AM

Warren would get my vote if she ends up being the choice. Haven't followed her much but Biden is looking weaker and weaker by the second. I'd still vote for him tho if he ends up being the choice. None of the others have really made an impression from what I've seen.

good point

Either he’s lying or he lacked the balls to deal with it. Not a good look either way.

I mean it looks like they weren't interested in putting him on camera but you can see him clearly talking into his mic with no sound coming out while other candidates can clearly be heard.


OccultHawk 06-29-2019 04:03 PM

If he had walked down the stage and got up in the moderators **** making a huge crazy scene with loads of profanity he probably could’ve stolen 15% of Trump’s base. Then make a run as a looney independent maybe. It’s not like he has much to lose.

The Batlord 06-29-2019 04:05 PM

Hopefully he has more balls next debate or else yeah completely dead in the water.

Anteater 06-29-2019 04:16 PM

He gained over 100k new followers on Twitter for 2 1/2 minutes of talking. That's more than any other candidate who showed up on stage, including Harris. Bodes well for the future despite the mic ****.
