@TwentyTwoLou That provision only begins at age 65. It’s also not tied to Social Security. Everyone 65 will receive that deduction on their taxes.

@mattvanswol Looks like another super organic unfunded protest!! I'm betting the same exact signs show up at the NK protest in my town.

🚨#BREAKING: This is footage of the current "No Kings" protest here in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Almost every protestor on this street has at least one or two professionally made signs.
What do you notice about the protestors here?
Do you see it?!! 😂😂😂

@TaraBull The body tends to try and push out invading things. Just needs a repiercing after this one is removed and healed over.

@SinaiLawFirm I used to have a couple rentals in So Cal. Got screwed by almost every tenant. Believed sob stories at first and tried to work with tenants. Will never do the rental thing again.

Do you want to know why rent is so expensive in LA? Why the application process takes so long? Why landlords want so much info from you? Here is a recent story:
A family was referred to me for their eviction case. They were heading to a jury trial in one month and didn't have a lawyer, yet.
They did all the paperwork and filing themselves, in-house to save on legal fees. And surprisingly, they did a great job. They filed the paperwork with LAHD. Gave proper notice to the tenants.
I reviewed their paperwork and it was better quality than 90% of other eviction lawyers. I didn't see any viable way to dismiss the case on a technicality.
As long as they were properly represented in trial, the family was going to win the eviction. They did everything by the book. Followed all the local rules. Gave all the necessary notices.
The family told me the judge ordered the parties to mediate at the first court appearance. The family attended the mediation in court without a lawyer. The tenant was provided a lawyer by the city, for free. At the mediation the lawyer for the tenants offered this settlement:
1. 4 months to vacate the property
2. Cash to leave, paid upfront
3. Waiver of all owed rent
4. Sealed record
They rejected the offer, of course. Why would they accept this?
The family then asked me a great question. "What is our best case scenario with you in trial?"
Based on my review, I gave them my most realistic estimate of the best case scenario in trial:
1. Both parties announce ready at the next trial date (1 month away) and trial takes 3 days. We win the trial.
2. Sheriff locks out the tenant 75 days after the trial.
3. about 110 days to possession.
4. Gave them an estimate cost for fees/prep time.
5. No viable collection of back rent, tenants had no assets.
Obviously, this was the best case scenario. It could be worse. Trial can be delayed. While I was confident we are going to win, juries are unpredictable.
This is where we had a surreal moment of collective clarity. The settlement offer they rejected is basically their best case scenario if they win the trial.
This was not a coincidence. The attorney for the tenants asked for pretty much the same amount I quoted them for my fees.
The lawyer for the tenants knew the family had to hire a lawyer for a jury trial. The lawyer knows it takes the sheriff 2-3 months to lockout after a judgment. The lawyer knows it's hard (and expensive) to collect against tenants with no assets.
State and local government created a system in which cases take forever to litigate, eviction laws are extremely complex and technical, easy to dismiss cases, only one side has to pay a lawyer, and worst of all, possession enforcement takes 60-90 days instead of 5. And it's all getting worse.
The leverage for the tenants is systemic. It's by design. Why would the tenants make any other offer? The landlords are left with no real options but a shitty settlement.
There are no real choice. Even when you do everything right, you still lose.
Tenants don't pay rent during evictions. They had no viable way to win the trial. There were no habitability issues. The landlords posted all the notices. Never raised the rent. Didn't retaliate. The landlords did everything right. And the tenants still win.
The mother looked at me and asked "our base case in trial is the same as the shitty settlement offer? Are you telling me we should have taken the offer we rejected?"
I didn't know how to respond.

@Cernovich My mom is developing dementia. Recently, while in the car, she looked out of the windows and gasped. "What ARE those?" She was seeing the new sky for the "first time" and could not believe it. It was a particularly abominable day in the sky. She knew it was not normal.
English

@tmsilverman Firstly, she's not what I'd call a fatty. Secondly, instead of having a job where she's active and riding a skateboard all day...ya know, never mind. You wouldn't care about her job unless she didn't bring you your pain meds and anti depressants on time.
English

Fatties shouldn’t be allowed to be nurses. If you can’t take care of your own health you have no business taking care of others.
She doesn’t even realize she’s 50-80 pounds overweight.

@Zoya_ki_batein They should have been turned away at the door. You may have to endure crying babies on a plane, but you don't have to at your wedding.

@AmericaShaman Looks like they missed the deltoid. Might have gone into the joint.

@TwentyTwoLou Wow. Even he ended up partially blaming himself for being there.

Most people don't know this about me, but I was in a car a few vehicles back from Reginald Denny's truck during the LA riots in 1992. That day changed the way I looked at personal safety forever. On that day that I decided I was never going to be without a handgun minimum and rifle if possible in my vehicle. 60 people died during those riots.

🚨 YOU WEREN’T SUPPOSED TO NOTICE THIS — A FIRE THE SIZE OF RHODE ISLAND IS BURNING IN THE U.S. RIGHT NOW
Nearly 1 MILLION ACRES in Nebraska… gone.
Not a small wildfire.
Not a regional story.
One of the largest burns in modern U.S. history, and somehow it’s barely leading anything.
While every camera is locked onto overseas conflict… this is happening quietly at home:
• ~775,000+ acres of grazing land already destroyed
• Tens of thousands of cattle impacted
• One of America’s top beef-producing regions taking a direct hit
• Recovery timelines now pushed back months… if not longer
This isn’t just random land.
Nebraska sits on top of the Ogallala Aquifer, the largest underground water source in the U.S., supplying roughly 30% of all irrigation used in American agriculture.
So now look at the bigger picture:
• Grazing land wiped out
• Critical water source underneath
• Fertilizer prices already elevated
• Shipping disruptions increasing
• Global tensions rising
Food. Water. Supply chains.
All getting squeezed at the same time.
And yet… this isn’t dominating your feed.
The strangest part?
The scale doesn’t match the silence.
If a fire this big isn’t everywhere… what else isn’t?

@IfindRetards Two things can be true at the same time. So, yes, he is.

@WE6291 Thank you. Yeah, it was a bad and scary time. A friend of mine was Denny's nurse in the ER.
English

@TwentyTwoLou Thanks for what you did. The news made whites the evil ones during this time. They said Denny shouldn’t have been driving there. 🤡
