Leaders of coups? They only ones shown to have been leaders of coups are the democRats. Tell us again how Harris became the nominee for the democRats without participating in a primary? Sorry that most Americans are tired of illegal immigration, high crime, high inflation, and supporting Iran, China, Hamas, and Russia for endless wars.
go back to school and learn how our elections work, and the purpose of primaries, which are not even required.. (hint: they have nothing to do with chosing a candidate)

How did Trump get about the same amount of votes as in 2020 but Kamala got 14 million less than Biden? He did not gain voters, did 14 million Democrats really just not show up?

also I hope as many Latinos that voted for Trump get deported or at least detained.
The 14 million were not Democrats in 2020, they were "independents" voting against an incumbent who was fumbling the economy and a pandemic. This year they voted against the incumbent who was "fumbling the economy."

Well I have already counted out the south of France as to become a realtor there there are a lot of requirements. Spain on the other hand, very easy to get started legally. So now to focus on Spain for a bit.

If I ever moved out of the country I would move to Barcelona.

I think it’s safe to say the election was rigged. I know greenman will back that assertion just like he backs the US not being a democracy but a constitutional republic.



Oh greenman thinks we are a democracy now? Well that’s convenient.

Are there no workhouses?
Honesty, it all comes back to states not allowing more housing to be built. These very appsrent every day costs have swelled, so people feel pinched and see the effects (eg, homelessness and crowding) and lash out, and others move, eroding blue state electoral power and empowering more red states.

So, you want me to think I live in a totalitarian state and I don't have certain inalienable rights including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness... OK... :rolleyes:
What you think is interpretation and is up to you. I just want you to acknowledge the FACT SCOTUS gave Trump an out for illegality by creating a right where there was none before because we didn't need it.

Question: If Trump starts selling pardons, how do you stop him??

We can't even remember all the corruption from his last term like funneling government work to his businesses. He took in 2.4B while taking credit for forfeiting his 4 year 1.6 million.

Yeah on the flip side this could further empower local YIMBY coalitions in blue states. I need the California legislature to truly bring LA/SF areas to heel on this policy like yesterday.

Yeah... Going to give it a few days, but I may start bothering my MA state reps. Time to put the boot on the hundreds of useless municipal Boston area governments. If you want to claim to be the blue progressive state, you need to create housing opportunities for the people that live here and the ones that want to live here.

South of France and South of Spain (outside Barcelona) were my two ideas - wealthy foreigners who would all speak English buying second homes or vacation villas, etc... So the language barrier would not be an issue for me.

It's looking like Barcelona is what I'm going to focus on. I do like your endorsement though. Can you elaborate a bit?

I've visited a number of times and just really enjoy the city. As far as urban areas are constructed it's pretty ideal with good transit and how they prioritize different modes of mobility. Food, culture, architecture, and inclusivity all top notch.

I wonder what is going to happen to the homeless people because the Reich isn't going to want to pay to house them.
Arizona voters just approved a law that says if cities don't do enough to drive the homeless from their midst, property owners can file for a reduction on their property taxes. The homeless will be driven out or cities will go broke.

Can the house still be flipped? I'm reading some chatter that it might be.

TBD. Mail in California is going to take a while. A one or two seat majority for either party however spells great difficulty for probably everything that isn't a tax deal.
