"resembling a palace in being spacious and splendid."

When I saw the picture of the house and read the title I thought this had to be a post mocking the idiot MAGAs, but nope this person was dead ass serious. So that's far from a shack, but a palace? LOL. Some of the replies did correct them, but a lot agreed and said AOC had a rich, privileged life growing up. While that house is probably bigger than the one I grew up in. You'd have to be homeless to think that's a mansion. I guess middle class is considered he life of luxury when it's the right hating on the left. And this means I might have grown up in a palatial mansion and never even knew it.

For reference, they ended by saying the house is worth $500k trying to prove a point I guessa. That's in NY which is expensive, in So Cal the house across the street from me sold last year for $780k, and it's much smaller than this one.

Don't know what emoji reaction is appropriate ^^^^

Quite a disjuncture between the lead-up reading the text and then seeing the picture. That's a pretty modest dwelling by most people's standards. I can't make any sense of that embedded post. It would surely make any sense only if you imagined that there's a binary division between WASPy types and everyone even-slightly 'ethnic minority' - with the latter _all_ living in horrendous slum-like Housing Projects.

If that's a palatial mansion, I wonder what Szypula thinks Donald Trump lives in. He sure does think like Trump and his lackeys where the term "obliterated" means "some damage occurred" and where "Trump should be awarded the Nobel peace Prize" for something he didn't do.

 

[MrSquished]

Conservative fed judges have issued these kinds of injunctions for years without a peep from the court. Judges issuing injunctions against Trump policies is apparently suddenly a problem.

This court has to be dealt with.

First things first. You need a real opposition party for that to even be potentially possible.

The rich need to take care of the poor for their own protection. They will find out soon enough if trump keeps going and going.

I assume that’s where her butlers and the other help stay? Is the palace behind that?

 

[IronWing]

If it doesn’t have wheels, it’s a palace.

 

[Jaskalas]

The pretzel logic necessary to get to this decision is just amazing.

Oh, did we take SCOTUS to the other topic?
I'll repost over there.

Passage of time; the land these days is worth a lot but when AOC was growing up 25 or so years ago the house was probably worth ~150,00 to 200,00 dollars. Not peanuts but certainly not mega rich either. You have to remember you are dealing with uneducated idiots. Hey remember when Jordan may a big deal about a democrat making $5000 ignoring Trumps making 100,000 millions of dollars ?

I hope you have not seen the vomit inducing JD Vance ad on how much of a saint he is with his limited income. The idea seems to be that he makes so little that he has no choice but to dress awful and MAGAts probably orgasm at the thought of his virtuousness.

“A systematic destruction of science”.

This story is flying under the radar right now—even the Guardian missed a key piece of reporting in this story.

Sudden loss of key US satellite data could send Hurricane forecasting back ‘decades’

What the article fails to clarify is that the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program that Defense (Hegseth?) is shuttering is a critical component of the GFS model runs used for all major storm forecasts—not just hurricanes, but nor’easters, tornadic thunderstorms, snowmakers, etc. NOAA PR is downplaying this as a routine shift in data sources that would normally go unreported, but they have not clarified how or when this data is being replaced, and anonymous sources in NOAA are sounding the alarm that this data is irreplaceable.

My guess is a Russian agent is tell trump (project 25) what needs to be done with alternative motivies.

With luck Trump properties will get a good smack from a Hurrican ....

What's a $150k 2004 bronx flat go for nowadays?

You can of course look that up for yourself using your favorite realtor site (zillow, redfin, ...). Also she did not grow up in the bronx - here is a simple example:

Right, just saying, if she was a 'bronx girl' (I guess born and raised?) as that jackass was stating she wasn't, she would have had an even greater disparity now as compared to her relatively normal/humble upbringings.
