This is the most brutal and accurate psychological analysis of Trump & Trumpism I’ve ever seen from @VanLathan

I called to cancel my health insurance because I couldn't afford the premium anymore.
The rep asked why I wanted to cancel.
I told her I'm paying $685 a month for a family plan with a $9,000 deductible.
That's $8,220 a year before I've even paid for a single doctor's visit, prescription, or emergency room bill.
So if someone in my family gets seriously sick, I'm still looking at thousands of dollars in medical expenses on top of the premiums I've already been paying all year.
I asked her what exactly I'm supposed to do with a plan like that.
She explained that the policy was designed to help cover eligible medical expenses after I met my deductible.
I told her I understood how insurance works. What I don't understand is how a family can pay more than $8,000 a year for coverage and still be terrified of getting sick.
She didn't have an answer.
WE'VE CREATED A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WHERE PEOPLE ARE PAYING THOUSANDS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM MEDICAL BILLS THEY STILL CAN'T AFFORD.

Officer honors his oath to the constitution by standing up for the citizen and not doing the dirty work for corrupt politicians.
When government officials view public buildings as their private castles, law enforcement is far too often weaponized as personal security to silence or remove everyday citizens.
This encounter at Gainesville City Hall is a rare and powerful reminder of what it actually looks like when a police officer honors his oath to the Constitution instead of bowing to political pressure.
Derek Walker walked into Gainesville City Hall for a lawful, routine reason: to deliver official paperwork regarding an ongoing legal dispute and inquire about the status of a settlement with the city. City staff told him to take a seat in the public lobby, promising that someone from City Attorney Daniel Nee’s office would come downstairs to address his inquiry.
Walker sat patiently on a bench for nearly two hours, speaking cordially with building security and waiting on public servants to do their jobs.
Rather than coming down to face a constituent, the City Attorney’s office attempted to use government muscle to make him disappear.
Officials told building security to throw him out, and when security noted they lacked any legal grounds to do so, a call was placed to the Gainesville Police Department demanding that Walker be formally trespassed from public property.
When Officer Isaac Sutton arrived on scene, he didn't just blindly follow orders or act as an administrative rubber stamp. He conducted an actual investigation. He questioned lobby security, who confirmed on the record that Walker had caused zero disturbance, broken no laws, and never attempted to breach restricted areas—he was simply sitting in a public lobby waiting for public officials.
When city representative David Jarvis pressed for a formal trespass warning simply because city attorneys didn't want to deal with Walker, Officer Sutton drew a hard line in defense of civil liberties:
"Me personally, my name going on the trespass for someone that was sitting there waiting for representation from the city... I'm not putting my name on the trespass."
Officer Sutton openly recognized the situation for what it was, bureaucratic retaliation, and flatly refused to put his signature on an unconstitutional enforcement action.
When officers are pressured by high-ranking city brass, taking the easy way out is what happens all too often. Officer Sutton stood up for an everyday citizen, held the line against executive overreach, and proved that a badge belongs to the Constitution, not the bruised egos of city officials. This is what you want to see from your local law enforcement. Great job by this officer.

Another farmer bailout because Trump’s fucked up. The Agriculture Department will send $8 billion in economic aid to farmers hurt by high diesel prices. The second time in 2 years he authorized billions of dollars in bailout money for farmers Trump harmed. nyti.ms/4BwZnUK

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.
Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.
Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.
Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.
In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.
The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

A shame if you didn’t understand tax code.
That length of ownership allows 250k for single deduction or 500k married single deduction with ZERO tax liability.
Also if he had taken out a HELOC and maxed it out and you can write the amount straight to yourself and then the sale pays off the HELOC and again ZERO tax.
Also, you don’t need a realtor to sell a home anymore. You can sell the home yourself and pay almost zero commissions.
It’s not that the government takes, it’s whether or not you understand how to keep your money.

Cybersecurity researcher: I found that Flock did not require their clients to use multi-factor authentication. This led me to find Flock law enforcement accounts for sale by a Russian vendor on a dark web marketplace. In addition to this, we found insufficiently protected sensitive information stored on Flock cameras, including photos, license plate data, logs, API keys, passwords, and communications.
