Participant[quote=flu]Gold just broke through $1300/ounce overnight and hitting 2 years high at $1315/ounce. This is insane. Almost a $115/ounce change since end of may when Fed spooked the markets..[/quote]
And now down $33 from that high point. There’s an awful lot of resistance at $1300. Same for silver at $17.50. /pl is in it’s own little world.
Participant[quote=mixxalot]I am not anti gay but my issue is that too many gays act like they deserve special treatment and special rights for liking anal sex.[/quote]
Name one special right they’re asking for. Btw, there are plenty of straight men and women who like anal sex too. Do you think they’re asking for special rights too?
Participant[quote=flu]
I am finding its not so easy to sell bullion back…especially silver.[/quote]You have to have a guy. I sold some junk today for $12.00/$, which is about 95% of spot. But yeah, transaction costs are high.
Participant[quote=mixxalot]Yes, San Diego is in a MAJOR bubble due to low inventory. Banks are intentionally holding back large amounts of off the book foreclosure real estate to drive up speculation and prices. Look at how much people make. A couple makes low income for the high prices.[/quote]
If I had a nickel….
No. They’re not. They weren’t doing it in 2009, when everyone “knew” they were doing it. They weren’t doing it in 2010. They weren’t doing it 2011. or 2012 or 2013. There is no shadow inventory. There never was any shadow inventory. And in particular, shadow inventory that lenders were “intentionally” doing anything with.
Banks (and I use that term generically, because very seldom are the mortgage holders traditional banks) are incredibly shitty at managing distressed assets. (And not just real estate, it’s all kids of distressed assets.) Horrible. You can’t believe how bad they are. They have no clue what they’re doing. They make a lot of mistakes. So if you see a particular property that looks like something shady is going on, it’s probably not. Lenders really are that bad.

That’s hilarious. Why should Jews be natural republicans? Be careful. You could step in a big steaming pile of shit you’ll never get out of.[/quote]Because a large proportion of Jews are business owners and white collar professionals. Republican economic policies tend to favor business owners and white-collar workers over blue-collar employees.
And no, I didn’t step into the big steaming pile of shit you insist on bringing to this conversation.[/quote]
I didn’t insist on anything. And no you didn’t. And neither did Brian.

It sounds like certain races of people mostly hang and support people of their race, ever go to an Indian kid birthday party? Only see Indians. Does that make them racists?[/quote]
No, it doesn’t. It’s not just Indians. Immigrants from most every country that I can think of are pretty much the same. There’s a woman I went to school with, and I reconnected with her on FB a few years ago. She’s 3rd generation American born of Greek descent. Her great-grandparents immigrated 150 years ago. Two-thirds of her facebook friends are Greek, including, I think, every Greek person I ever knew in the 55 years I lived in SD.
That doesn’t make her, or other Greeks racist. Doesn’t mean they’re not either. All of us seek others with similar interests and backgrounds.
Racism is the belief that one race is superior or inferior to another. That’s not the same as saying you like hanging with people like you. That’s a societal remnant of a very particular stage of childhood development. Some of us outgrow it. Some never do. Trump hasn’t. Many of his supporters haven’t.
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]”All Trump supporters are racists” is your blanket “put down” of 30-40% of voters in this country (and that was only in the primary). They’re all “racists” but you’re not. I can see why more than a few Piggs will support Trump and vote for Trump and not post about it here with the likes of you on this board.

Me? I’m pretty sure I’m not the guy that said I can’t get a fair trial from an American judge because he’s Mexican. You know I’m not the first person to call Trump racist, right? You know the speaker of the house said it, right? And you know the speaker of the house is the highest ranking republican in government right now, right? You know that Lindsey Graham called him racist, right? (you know who he is, right?) Mitch McConnell had multiple opportunities to say that what Trump said earlier this week was flat out racist. He’s a liar, and now a chicken shit. So he didn’t say it. But when some of the most powerful elected officials in his own party call him a racist, he’s pretty much a racist.
And you? You know he’s a racist, and you’re still voting for him. It’s possible that some people who like him don’t know he’s a racist. They could just be morons. But everyone who knows he’s a racist, and is still voting for him….they support racism…so they’re pretty much racists. If you see a gap in my logic here, please share. If there’s a good reason that you’re not a racist, even though you’re supporting a racist, (and a man who has promised to nominate judges who will (not might, will) overturn Roe v. Wade if given the opportunity) please share it. Otherwise, you owe a lot of people an apology for being a racist.
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]This opinion doesn’t make me or anyone else that is in favor of seeing this wall built a “racist.” You might be “shocked” as to how many thousands of native-born or legal-resident persons of “Hispanic origin” from all across the country (incl “border dwellers”) agree with me![/quote]
The wall doesn’t make Trump a racist. (That wall, btw, will never be built. If it was built, it would never work.) Your pointing out facts don’t make you a racist. That doesn’t change the fact that Trump is a racist. You’re supporting a racist. You know all the facts that make him a racist. That, and a dozen or more of your posts here make it clear you’re a racist. Again, I don’t need to apologize for that. You should. Or own up to it. You’re supporting a flat out racist. You’re a flat out racist.
And yes, thousands of Hispanics will vote for Trump. Good luck with that. There’s 55 million Hispanics in the country. It’s estimated that 10 million will vote. Again, thousands will vote for Trump. That should win him…….nothing.
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]
Your whole series of posts to me on this and the “list” thread smack of someone with an air of superiority. So superior that they cannot acknowledge that they called someone out as a liar and a racist by mistake. And I’m not talking about myself, here, although in the past, you have (both overtly and covertly) implied that I, too, am a “racist.”[/quote]I never said anywhere that “I feel” or “I felt” anything. McConnell is a liar. McConnell is a racist. He just admitted in the last 48 hours that Trump is a racist. And he’s still supporting him anyway. And I think you’re a racist too. I don’t need to apologize for that. You do.
Participant[quote=livinincali]The 2 major parties are both seeing signs of fracture. [/quote]
what sign’s of fracture are you seeing in the democratic party? The 2nd place finisher (and 3rd place, for that matter) has said he will do everything he can to get the winner elected. Not a single major player will refuse to endorse the candidate, and she’s already been endorsed by elected officials at both ends of the spectrum within the party. Where is there a fracture? You’re seeing things that do not exist.
Both sides are not the same.
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]Isn’t Trump university a blatant case of fraud. Any intelligent can see that. I don’t think that’s even debatable.[/quote]
I try not to pass judgment on people. But when someone says “Any intelligent (person) can see that”, about a court case where there has been zero public presentation of evidence, and very little in depth review of case, I make an exception. No. No, intelligent persons cannot see that. If you haven’t read every single pleading in the case, if you haven’t reviewed every single deposition in the case, there is no way for you to know if it was obvious fraud. Only a moron can see what hasn’t happened yet. If you weren’t a plaintiff, or at least a victim, you can’t know there was fraud. The process is in place for a reason. To determine which side is right. This case is likely to settle, and there never will be a trial available for public consumption. It’s unlikely all the documents related to the case will ever become public.
If you want to pass judgment on Trump because he’s been involved in 4,500 law suits, that makes sense. If you want to pass judgment on him because of what he’s said about the judge in this case, that makes sense. But to conclude that he’s committed fraud, based on nothing but claims of the plaintiffs, is stupid and presumptuous.
Participant[quote=svelte]This is an amazing election…read this article!
https://www.yahoo.com/news/talk-grows-replacing-trump-convention-000000790.html
“I want to support the nominee of the party, but I think the party ought to change the nominee. Because we’re going to get killed with this nominee,” Hugh Hewitt, a nationally syndicated conservative radio talk show host, said. “They ought to get together and let the convention decide. And if Donald Trump pulls over a makeover in the next four to five weeks, great, they can keep him.”The Republican powers-that-be still think they should overrule the vote of the people! They think pulling the carpet out from under Trump at the convention is a perfectly valid thing to do!
There has never been clearer evidence that the Republican party thinks their members are just puppets that they can control and overrule on a whim.
Unbelievable the stuff that this election season is uncovering.[/quote]
The irony here is that Hugh Hewitt got exactly what he wanted. He played an integral part in creating the nominee he now has. Hewitt is not an insider. He was. He left, and was out of the loop for 2 decades. He returned as an outsider who pushed the party, from the outside, towards Sarah Palin. He now can’t live with what he built.
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]As I expected, the Latino vote (urban vote generally) won California for Clinton. That’s how she will win in November.
I believe that the Latino vote is now so important that if you don’t watch Univision, you’re really missing out on what’s happening. Spanish language TV is as relevant as Fox and right wing talk radio on the Republican side.[/quote]
Do you have a link to exit polls indicating she wont Hispanic vote by a significantly different margin than her 13% margin in total? Most recent polls showed her winning the latino/Hispanic vote by a similar margin to other voters, and not a single one had a 13% margin among latino/Hispanic voters.
Participant[quote=joec]Now, on both sides, Republican and Democrats, it’s to shut down the country, block everything, etc etc etc…
I think both sides are just as bad as each other and they are doing this because this is just the state of our country and our politics.
[/quote]
No, both sides don’t do it. It’s not even close. Democrats aren’t shutting down the government. Democrats aren’t getting sued because they’re not providing a basic education to students. Democrats aren’t holding up health care funding for 9/11 first responders and the department of Veterans Affairs. Democrats aren’t holding up appointments of hundreds of judges, including a vacancy on the supreme court, that’s likely to last a year or more. Democrats aren’t passing hundreds of laws every year putting women’s health at risk. Democrats aren’t cutting taxes across the country for millionaires and billionaires, ensuring that states can’t pay for vital services.
Republicans have spent the last 35 years telling everyone that the government is broken. That the government is the problem. And they’ve spent most of those 35 years making sure that was true. And then they’ve proved it was, in fact, their goal over the last 7 1/2 years. If the government is broken, it’s because republicans have broken it.
Both sides don’t do it.
