Political speech, bro. Fight. Take back our country. We don't hold Bernie to that same standard when he uses those words. Revolution? Republicans are Sick and tired of being held to a ridiculously high standard. He meant fight at the ballot box. You have TDS to think otherwise.

Add this to the plane that fly’s a trump 2020 sign behind it on Saturday’s. It’s a great time. I do wonder if someone hired the plane to tow that or if he likes to waste his own money and time doing it.

People that buy houses in HOA communities and then throw hissy fits about HOAs are worse than HOAs.

Thursday just in: +710K doses reported administered over yesterday's total, including 452K newly vaccinated. Over 2.7M newly vaccinated reported in the past week. Can see recent increase in newly vaccinated by date of administration here: covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…

That’s true, too.

I get why people don’t like them. And some really suck.

Ours is fine, I don’t mind it at all and think they are a net benefit. Ours takes care of our trash/recycling cost and the annual dues are barely more than the cost of that. That, plus maintaining our community pool, the landscaping at the entrance and fountain thing; I can’t complain about the minimal rules like “don’t leave your trash cans out more than 24 hours after trash day” and “let us know before you paint your fence”.

Gym seems rattled by simple questions on his communications with Trump on 1/6. Get this guy under oath.

@JanNWolfe
Rep. Jim Jordan says he doesn’t remember when on Jan. 6 he spoke to Trump.

@TaylorPopielarz
presses Jordan on the issue. Was the phone call with Trump *during* the siege of the Capitol?

Jordan seems caught off guard here.

I definitely think there are terrible ones. But I also think there's a whole lot of "you can't tell me what to do! (even though I bought a house in a community that literally stipulates what I can/cannot do" as well.

The number of people who still think they can live like it's the Wild West is....wild.

Would love to know the political leanings of your average HOA home owner.

I mean, just look at the suburban voting trends and extrapolate that.

It’s close enough for whatever weird point you think you’re going to make.

My guess is right now it leans centrist-to-moderate-dem. Probably a lot of Biden split ticket voters, too.

[ricky towel]

I wouldn’t want a hoa. If one was formed here I wouldn’t recognize it’s authority.

You're attacking my Constitutional right to have my car on cinder blocks in my overgrown front yard!!!

A slightly educated guess would be a majority are fiscally conservative but growing more and more liberal on social issues. I believe voting trends support that.

Really hard to pick the 'top answers' for the Family Feud board with that one.

Different strokes but this was something I had no interest in on any place I was looking at, HOA on community pool or tennis court or anything like that

You know it's tour season when your first thought after glancing at that is "that's a really odd looking setlist"

[DMBstandUP1984]

NEW: According to the @USTreasury, President Biden is calling on state, territorial, and local governments to provide $100 payments to every newly vaccinated American.

We didn’t actively seek out a neighborhood with one, but the house we liked happened to be in the neighborhood with one (though it’s probably a half mile away from us).

I was just noting that that’s covered by the HOA and we basically see no excess charge from it. I think our HOA is ~$20 more per year than the cost of the garbage/recycling services if we were to subscribe to that on our own in a non-HOA neighborhood. So whatever that $20 extra goes to each year, it’s all fine by me

[dmbmuskie]

I think there is a sweet spot for ammentities. The community across the street from our new place has 2 pools, basketball and tennis, and a lot of green space for $75 per month.

The newer high end communities do landscaping, full gyms, coffee, etc for $700 per month. You’re looking at a $4000 per month house payment there.

[dmbmuskie]

Are we going to get $100 for the booster?

[DMBstandUP1984]

I don’t need $100 just continued immunity to a deadly virus

[YouNeverKnow25]

I don't need 100 either but if they offer it for a booster, I'll cash the check

Yeah I mean if it's reasonable that's one thing but the places in this area I would have considered that had pool / tennis had drastically higher HOA than those without and I would hardly ever use a pool and never use tennis

You sound a little nervous there, Gym.

[Antiramie]

Biden should offer $100 or whatever is inside a mystery box.

[cazzie34]

I have personal responsibility so I'm not upset if other people get money to do something I already did.

I gave my toddler treats when she went through potty training. At no time was I like "hey, wife, where's my treat for taking a shit?"

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get good guys to do the right thing
