they could seize the house!
Isn't that why Americans wanted guns? Talk about pussyfooting.
Bitches should just stop paying and wait for the bank to come knocking to see whats going on and then have a reeeeallllllyyyy friendly chat with the mortgage broker. They're just bankers - its not like they're real humans or anything.
But they're good Christian people with good Christian morals... haha I'm sorry, I couldn't say that with a straight face... what was it they love to say? Oh yes...
Fuck your feelings!
I thought "the gays" were causing the hurricanes or whatever? Or was it the Jewish space lasers controlling the weather?
It was Teh Gheyz colluding with the Jewssssz - the gays are having all that gay sex in the blue states, but the Jews built space lasers to direct their god's righteous anger about all the gay sex AT THE RED STATES!
Unfortunately NC is mostly blue/purple but gerrymandered to hell and has establishment repubs who won't relinquish control of anything to let anything new happen. The GOP legislature over the last several years passed bills and regulations stripping the governor of power because they knew they were going to lose that seat. Many more congressional seats will be flipping blue next year.
Seems like they're getting what they voted for.
Too bad, so sad /s
Because every single person, in every one of those states, is completely deserving of having their homes destroyed, livelihoods upheaved and bankruptcy at the hands of a government that doesn't care about them... Because of the way their state voted.
Thanks for displaying your complete lack of empathy, apparently justified in your own mind by the fact that the majority of residents voted for an asshole.
Merry Christmas ya miserable bastard /hj
Most of them voted for a government that doesn't care so...
And all the ones that voted for a government that doesn't care only did so to affect people they don't like. When it comes around to them, woe is them. They gleefully tell everyone "fuck your feelings" when it isn't them hurting.
The great divide is here brought to you by Republicans once again. They're dissolving the union.
And the ones that didn't vote for this, the ones who voted for something they were lied to about, the ones that didn't vote, all deserve the same fate?
Every single person in those states deserves to suffer because some bigot lied to them and sold them on a deal that they were never going to fulfil?
It's alright to mock them for being homeless, or having to pay two mortgages for one working home and the wreckage of their life after a natural disaster because "Most of them voted for a government that doesn't care"?
I know someone that was 8+ months pregnant live in Asheville when Helene came through. They went over to their neighbor's brick house as the hurricane caused extreme damage to theirs. The next day it took them a couple hours trying to drive out of the city to get somewhere safe. After they got out, one of them went back to get some possessions the same day and the road they escaped on was gone. Completely washed out and didn't exist just hours after they drove on it.
In the end, they all survived, but the pregnant lady couldn't live there anymore, physically due to damage and mentally from the trauma of having been so close to dying during the hurricane. They got the repairs done and moved to Duluth MN and carried a double mortgage until they could sell. They were fortunate to be in a financial position where this was an option, but that's certainly not the norm. They are bleeding heart liberals that were living in the conservative South who were affected by the shit policies their neighbors voted for and representatives inacted. It's unfortunate that the innocent bystanders are affected by things like this, but I have little to no sympathy for any conservative that put themselves and others around them in this situation.
Y'know it's shit like this that will ultimately destroy the power of the feds. As they become less and less relevant to folks daily lives and unreliable on top of that eventually people just aren't gonna listen.
So these are the real FEMA camps: still pay on a non-viable home, and go camping (live out of a tent).
