    a 3 year stint of being a landlord in Chicago, County of Cook, State of Illinois cured me of ever being a landlord again.
    Tenant has more rights than you do. Nearly impossible to evict, and they know it will cost you more in attorney fees to get your back rent than to get yours. "Leases" have about as much teeth as a handshake deal.

    Funny you mention that, I had a tenant in this same place before the wife and I were married and they were 4 months behind on rent, lots of excuses and was basically sqatting. Figured out it was easier/cheaper to sell the place to my then fiance at a distressed property rate than to proceed with eviction process. Spun their head so hard it twisted off.. yard sale the likes of which you've never seen.

    So Trump wins in a landslide on closing the border and putting Americans back to work.

    Democrats now want to buy votes in every demographic out there.

    Reparations for those never affected paid for by those who never participated.

    Backtax refunds for homosexual couples who were not allowed to file jointly before.

    Free healthcare for everyone, including illegal immigrants.

    Pay off all college debt and make college free for everyone. I'm sure they will make amendments in the future to include refunds for anyone who has already paid off their student loans the "honorable" way.

    I'm sure I am missing something as well.

    Told my daughter yesterday that higher education is an investment. If you cant afford a certain collehe then you have to go shopping and research. She was visiting a college yesterday that would cost almost 50k a year. I told her our family could never afford to help her with those costs if she didnt receive an academic and or athletic scholarship. So she started looking at comparable schools for half that cost. It's an investment and a thought process Bernie you idiot..not a right. And certainly not on the American taxpayers to take on after you, the student and your parents decided to go to a certain college. Stop whining.

    Hundreds of thousands in student debt? What are you doing? My kids were 40 in when they graduated and that is with me taking another 40 plus too but college is an investment and get a useful degree and get done in 4 years.

    Yet another Democrat led fail, and it will only get worse as more states(IL becomes legal January 1st) do it. When supply overruns demand, prices and sales drop.

    They want it legalized federally so they can compete in other markets. What will that lead to? The great drug race of which state can produce the most potent marijuana being desired by the states that can't.

    It stops becoming about recreational use and decriminalizing when you need to sell your product beyond your constituents. It then becomes about government dealers seeking control.

    This is downright infuriating as well.

    Notice how this "brave man", willing to fight for his cause all the way to the SCOTUS, won't man up and cite where it will be held.

    I used to raise, lower and fold the flag back in middle school(4th and 5th grade) and learned the only time the flag is to be burned is if it touches the ground or becomes weathered to the point it is not suitable for display. Eff the SCOTUS and their ruling on this one, this should never be allowed, and especially on our Independence Day.

    Maybe we can get all the 2020 Dems to show up in support and end the 2020 race in 2019.

    Boils my blood :mad:

    My rant is the new fad of calling the area of illegal immigrants being held at the border, concentration camps. I heard it tonight from a liberal professor in my child sex abuse class saying how what we are doing to those children is so wrong.....so I said....yet you support abortion? He said that it’s a separate issue. Lol

    And there is a 99.9% that he has no idea what exactly is occurring there, like most of us. Just guessing.

    I know, it is sad that we are going into Mexico, Guatemala and all the other countries to our south and rounding up children, some of them having families, to bring back to these camps. It is reprehensible.....

    Well Oregon won't be doin much for little while until they get some senators back. Haven't read up on all the details but from what I gather the dem majority is trying to slam throw some kind of bill, some kind of tax regs or something I think, and all the repubs pretty much left the state and now the governor is trying to send the state police to round them up.

    just ask him if he'd prefer the Border Patrol immediately give the 30% of children who are the victims of human trafficking back to their fake family member so he/she could continue raping them and then sell them back to the cartel to be used as a prop again.

    The detained children are held until a suitable housing situation be identified; you know, so they aren't sold back into slavery.

    Yeah, it's a "Green" bill. GOP walked out to deny a quorum for the vote.

    Walker did similar in WI several years back against Dems.

    These are folks who've never read a book to know what a real CC is like. They're the same imbeciles who insist America's policemen are involved in black genocide, having never read a book about genocide by policemen.

    Tell your liberal professor regarding children....if you can't feed 'em, don't breed 'em.

    Nice to see a fellow middle school color guard. Ill never forget when the principle walked into my 3rd period social studies class and asked me to come with her. I thought I was in trouble until she started crying and told me that there had been an attack on the World Trade Center and we needed to go lower the flag to half mast.
