HOA's are run by the worst people in Earth who have legal control over the title to your house, lol

It is well known that all landlords are bastards, but they're also really loving stupid bastards. Like, if they just start evicting people en masse then where do they think they're they gonna find new tenants when nobody has any loving money? It's just being evil for the sake of it at this point.

They don't think. They start from the assumption that the system is good and just (because it's working out for them). It's the same kind of thinking as when Ben Shapiro says that people with coastal homes will just sell them when climate change destroys them.

Yeah HOA's attract the absolute worst types of people. The power to set and enforce arbitrary rules and punish people who don't follow them. They also generally seem to always be "letter of the law" vs "spirit of the law" folks, who will - as an example - try to kick you out of your home for mandatory WFH because of an ongoing pandemic, because bylaw seven of article twelve on page three of the HOA agreement that YOU SIGNED stipulates that you will NOT run a business out of your own home, and thus-

I can't even fathom why they're doing it. Why would you want to antagonize people who still have jobs and can pay their rent/mortgage?

Dear person,

I don't know your name, or even whether you own the house I'm talking about, but somehow know you're working from home. Based on my interpretation of the seemingly undefined term of "commercial business", you now have 30 days to leave or I'll call the cops. You're still on the hook for the mortgage though somehow, I declare

So my folks have been sick and are self-isolating. They are workaholics who haven't slowed down much at all even under the current situation and don't make much time to follow news or politics specifically. Apparently my mom is allowing my dad a half hour of CNN while she does something else because she finds their coverage insufferable. I mentioned Reade's sexual assault allegation against Biden and they were clueless.

They asked me to provide some resources they can look into but I know they won't dedicate much time to this. It occurred to me that it might be helpful if I started compiling dossiers on candidates that list their various disqualifying statements, behaviours or actions. It then occurred to me something like this already must exist, so hook me up you loving goons.

You could link them to the Ball/Enjeti interview of Reade where she recounts the events in her own words.

This current affairs article is also a pretty good review of why nominating Biden is just a terrible, terrible idea.

MSM has convinced the Dem electorate at large that Trump is the worst human being to ever walk the face of the Earth, and that removing him from office is the greatest imperative of our modern era. Any attack on Biden or his policies is largely irrelevant to these folks because it does not matter: he is not Trump, and thus better than Trump, because as mentioned Trump is the worst person to have ever lived. Thus any complaints about him and his policies are at best ignored, and at worst auto-translated to you being a closeted Trump supporter just looking for an excuse.

Thanks, those are great suggestions and I definitely plan to pass them along.

Yeah my secondary thought was if anyone is just compiling/aggregating all the information on various scandals and issues of various candidates. Given the 24hr news media cycle things tend to fall along the wayside quickly, I certainly have a far shorter memory when it comes to even truly awful acts than I used to. I just now remembered that Pete Buttigieg that fucker with the rat pelt on his face connive to fire the black police and fire chiefs of his city. I would love to have a Joe Biden oppo FAQ like the Bernie campaign has for texters.
