I like how there's some faux checklist one has to abide by after some old dies to respect dead people properly and any deviation from it will result in mets feeling "disgusted" like a little special snowflake.

Wish I had some hot take and hate to be a bore but this information is worth trillions so whenever someone has a strong lean, they're full of ****. Basic investment theory says to ignore market timing and that your investments made today will likely rise more before the bubble than they'll fall from the bubble.

Guess the relevant sweat is if it comes before or after Nov 2020.

If Trump wins 2020 then looks like AOC will turn 35 a month before the 2024 election, which might end up being relevant information. Unless the cutoff are the dem primaries or whatever.

I think it's just going to be houses again.

Bitcoin I suppose is in play, probably will feed off each other.

You are free to criticize Trump as much as you wish.

But there are hundreds of young, alive children separated from their families with virtually no hope of a reunion because of his failed, coercive, cruel immigration policy. That should disgust you infinitely more than whether or not he paid proper lip service to John McCain, who died peacefully surrounded by his family under the best medical care available in the world.

He made it clear during McCain's lifetime what he thought of the man when he said "war heroes don't get shot down" or whatever the appalling quote was. If you voted for him after that, denouncing him now seems pretty hypocritical.

Not just Mets but also the left that has adopted McCain into # resistance that is getting outraged.

Current stockmarket?

Because the parents are in jail for life? I did not know that the immigration policies had gotten so harsh.

preach

Yes im a hypocrite that i voted for someone who i felt overall would be better than hillary but since i didn't agree with every single thing he says or did im a hypocrite

Please vr

Market up today with just rumors of trade deal with Mexico

Two things Mets has yet to explain

1) his reasoning for why McCain is a good person is that he was tortured. Mets has not explained this logic

2) anything about all the awful things McCain has done throughout his life

If I recall correctly (and please correct me if I'm wrong), you've said yourself that your support for Trump has nothing to do with him as a person. So why does it matter what he says or does regarding McCain?

This rhetorical style has got to go.

Anyone who serves our country deserves respect

McCain making a **** comment after what he went through is understandable

Some black people call cops pigs because of how some police have treated their bretheren. Is that understandable

Also McCain forgave the captors that beat him and even gave clinton cover in his Vietnam reproachment.

John McCain was far from perfect. But he fought for our country, was a prisoner of war for 6 years where he claims he was abused, and has served his constituency for 36 years. He has not been afraid to stand against his party when he felt he should. He even wanted to choose a democrat as his running mate but succumbed to the powers that be

He is probably the last senator from either party that truly tried to reach across the aisle

I didn't vote for him in the primary but i did vote for him in the general. He fought a good clean campaign, was defeated greatly, and handled it with a respect we don't see anymore.

And above all, he just died. I think paying him respect isn't too much to ask. And I'm allowed to speak my opinion on that without having to qualify it with what other things i may have or may not have spoken out against

Long article on McCain and the role he played in covering up POWs left behind in Vietnam. (Read Mets)

Because trump is the commander in chief and a war hero just passed

And they hung ther flag at half mast for what 12 hours?

It's allowed to bother me

In what way do you think bombing civilians in the Vietnam war is “serving” people in the United States?

To be clear, McCain was captured after bombing a light bulb factory while murdering hundreds of innocent civilians in the process. In fact, he was going to drown but got rescued by a Vietnamese civilian who was a target of the bombing run McCain was on.

What about that deserves respect?

In this area, yes, you are a hypocrite when you act as if you expected anything else from him. Trump is unquestionably petty and vindictive and McCain did and said several things that made him unhappy.

We are all hypocrites to greater or lesser extents. It's part of the human condition, but if you were really honest in this thread, you would have come in and said "Trump did exactly what I would have expected from him." Instead you came in here and acted outraged over what was taking place in the thread, which really left you no choice but to act outraged at Trump as well. But in this case I just can't see it as anything but an act.

You chose a petty tyrant for president. You did that. You knew who he was when you voted for him. He made it abundantly clear during the campaign. The fact that you continue to bemoan the petty part instead of the tyrant part is profoundly upsetting to me. When I say profoundly upsetting, I mean it literally makes me cry. It's such tribalism. What would this man have to do to get his supporters to abandon him? He plays for your "team" so there is apparently nothing that he can do to get you to renounce him, no line he can't cross. He defends literal white supremacists and you attack Obama instead of him.

And the Democrats this year have offered us nothing except "we'll oppose Trump" nothing to stand behind except "we're not on his team." Tribalism again. This country is so ****ing broken.

People itt have often claimed that citizens of the DPRK are brainwashed. But it’s quite clear that heads Mets’ attitude, shared by many, that Americans are quite brainwashed themselves.

Anyone that thinks that McCain is deserving of any type of respect simply because he participated in a fascist invasion of Vietnam and committed war crimes while doing so is quite literally brainwashed by imperialist propaganda

I'd think the recent housing boom goes first. There was a negative year over year home sales in June for the first time I can remember since 2009. Prices are falling. Every house I've favorited on Zillow have had a 5-20K drop in price over the summer months which is insane. Some areas in the Seattle area are slowly correcting.

Not all areas are in a housing bubble, but those that are are going to see it pop soon.

If he was just some poor soldier who was drafted and had little choice it might be a different story fwiw. But most everybody I think has known some Vietnam vets and they didn't go because they wanted to kill people.
