...but crime rate is getting better?

I can get this from Fox News, but Im giving the board's crybaby and biggest whiner a break. I guess a different news source makes all the difference in the world. 🙄

Short story: Company I hired screwed me over. I let it go until recently. I have a chance to really fvck them over. Skip to the part in bold at the bottom to vote on if I should do it or not.

Long story: I'm actually too nice of a guy, and as a result, it's easy to attempt to take advantage of me until I identify that, at which point, I can be vicious. I can be a sore loser but a brutal winner.

Nearly two years ago, I hired a company to uninstall a washer/dryer unit in a rental property. I made sure they were insured, read their reviews, etc. The two employees called me when they showed up, and I gave them the temporary code to get in all of the doors. Even though amateurs know this when working on/near water pipes, they neglected to turn the water off. I received a call where the guy was frantic. He had clipped a water pipe, was holding up towels trying to close the break, but water was flooding my place. I called the on-site property manager to come assist and turn the water off. But both floors were pretty flooded causing all types of damage.

The technician called me back after things settled, apologized, and thanked me for being cool about it. He said most people would be swearing and yelling at him. But mistakes happen. I knew it was going to be a pain in the ass for my tenants and a substantial investment of time for me, but yelling at the guy would have accomplished nothing. He assured me they were insured and that their insurance company would handle it.

That company hired a clean-up company to assist. The clean-up company was poor; they moved all of the downstairs furniture to set up industrial fans. Days later, when I was told the tenants could move back in, the furniture was still piled in a corner. Worse, yet another pipe had been broken. Each of those two companies blamed the other.

After nearly two months of non-response from the insurance company, I went to the original company. They admitted fault, apologized for their insurance company, said they were also not getting a response, and said they would be getting a new one moving forward.

Eventually, their insurance company denied the claim saying the damage was due to inadequate building material or age of the building. The building, at the time of the incident, was about eight years old. The material used was standard CPVC piping that was confirmed to be perfectly fine but two other plumbers. The insurance company didn't even see the piping or have knowledge of those things and just proceeded out of habit and denied the claim. I have voicemails and texts from the technician and managing member of the company accepting responsibility for the damage and saying they will pay.

The original company then changed their tune, said they weren't paying for the damages, and that I owed them money for the company they hired (without my approval and without notifying me) to remedy the damages. Of course, I told them to eat a dick. I am out $10k+ for hotels for my tenants, replacing a ruined split-duct heating/cooling unit, new stove top, not charging my tenants electricity for 18 months, paying to have the pipe fixed, a new couch, and other damages.

At the time, my brother had recently passed away, I was traveling non-stop, and I didn't have the energy to fight it in court.

Fast forward to a few months ago. I contacted the original company and told them I was litigating. I contacted the state insurance commissioner to file a complaint against the insurer for denying a claim based on no knowledge of what they claimed (inadequate material and/or age). Suddenly, their insurance company said they had a new agent working on it. The new company, in pre-litigation court resolution attempts, still claim they aren't liable for the damages and that their insurer is going to pay for it (which makes no sense). Their insurer has agreed to pay me $10.8k, but I am still putting the original company through shit in court on purpose, as they are unethical pieces of shit.

Yesterday, I discovered something fun. Even though they have a ton of recent online reviews and are very much still in business, they have let their state business registration expire a few days ago. In other words, I can now legally register a business under their name, which makes their website, reviews, marketing, etc. useless. Do I really fvck them up and register a business under their name?

Gonna laugh when it happens.

Chris is a patient man but I b
Bet it is about to run out

As the race to the White House intensifies, new polls suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris is up four points against former president Donald Trump in three battleground states.

That is Democrat policy. We have American citizens suffering, Veterans going without and Democrat policies give driver's licenses, tuition-free college program, free health care for illegal immigrants.

This is what bleaters are supporting. A radical, leftist agenda. The agenda is to stay in power. That's how they look at illegal, foreign, nationals. No sympathy, just voters

Don't let them lie. Trump won Florida by 3.5 over Mush Brain. He is up by 5 over Harris. He is up by 3 in NC.

A psychological and info war is being lead on the American people.

greed, I'm giving you until midnight tonight to accept this perma-ban bet.

I have Trump
U have mush brains Biden

Loser is perma-banned from posting on Pullman Square

Those two are presumably the nominees, so what are you afraid of? Would you rather have the green party communist candidate, or potentially another candidate like Kennedy or Manchin?

I have Trump
U have mush brains

If you choose to post gibberish instead of taking this bet by midnight tonight, then you're either a coward, or a three legged chicken.

I'm willing to open the floor to you, so that you can explain why you're apparently afraid to back mush brains Biden.

Midnight tonight.

Either sign, or STFU.

The accumulation of all powers, Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.

As this advice, if it ever see the light will not do it till I am no more it may be considered as issuing from the tomb where truth alone can be respected, and the happiness of man alone consulted. It will be entitled therefore to whatever weight can be derived from good intentions, and from the experience of one, who has served his Country in various stations through a period of forty years, who espoused in his youth and adhered through his life to the cause of its liberty, and who has borne a part in most of the great transactions which will constitute epochs of its destiny.

The advice nearest to my heart and deepest in my convictions is that the Union of the States be cherished & perpetuated. Let the open enemy to it be regarded as a Pandora with her box opened; and the disguised one, as the Serpent creeping with his deadly wiles into Paradise.

This is America, God Damnit. American tax payers paid for that bridge, not Palestinian tax dollars.

Someone should take that shit down.

Tsk, tsk...Blind bleaters won't bat an eye.

LINK: Sneaky little America-haters

Former President Donald Trump is struggling with an attack strategy against Kamala Harris, amid reports he called her a “b**ch” repeatedly in private as the Republican presidential nominee also sees support in the polls plunge.
Two sources told The New York Times that they heard the former president make the remark on different occasions.

@Raoul Duke MU i know you don't like to moderate this board but come on. This shit is out of control.

LINK: Lisa Hanson warns Americans against electing Minnesota Gov Tampon Tim as vice president: 'He will take your rights away'

Lisa Hanson, a former wine and coffee bistro owner thrown into jail for violating Minnesota Gov. Tampon Tim's lockdown orders, told Fox News Digital that the now Democratic vice presidential candidate essentially "shut down and destroyed" her small business, warning Americans, "You do not want tyranny at this level."

A mother of eight children and soon to be 18 grandchildren, Hanson said besides a speeding ticket she received as a teenager, she had always been a law-abiding citizen and owned businesses with her husband for more than 30 years. At the time the COVID-19 pandemic was in full swing in 2020, Hanson said The Interchange Wine & Coffee Bistro in Albert Lea, about 90 miles south of Minneapolis, had been open for eight years.

Her wine and coffee bistro initially complied with the shutdown ordered that March. However, Hanson said she watched for months afterward as Tampon Tim never fully re-opened the state when it came to businesses deemed non-essential, such as the bars, restaurants, gyms, dance studios and hair salons. By contrast, the governor never shut down liquor stores, the "big box stores" or even strip clubs.

"He shut down a lot of the mom-and-pop shops, those folks that were just trying to make a living and provide a great product and a great service," Hanson told Fox News Digital. "In contrast, he allowed big box stores, etc. to stay open. Really incredible, an incredible use of tyranny against the people."

Hanson eventually decided to re-open her business and defied Tampon Tim's renewed shutdown order for bars and restaurants six times between December 2020 and January 2021.

She was convicted in December 2021 on misdemeanor charges and received the maximum sentence of 90 days and a $1,000 fine. Hanson ended up serving two-thirds of her sentence, 60 days.

"This is the story that America needs to hear, that Tampon Tim is not some cuddly, joyful coach, like all the things that the MSMs are calling him," Hanson told Fox News Digital. "That is not who this man is. This man would like to take your rights away. He will take your rights away. Because what happened to me could have happened to anybody. What happened to me will happen to you."

"My family has paid a dear price. While I was in jail, I missed out on Christmas with my family, I missed out on my wedding anniversary, and I also missed out on the birth of one of my grandchildren," Hanson said. "I can never have that time back. That time was stolen from me. My business was destroyed. My business is gone. After everything that happened, Tim Walz and Keith Ellison destroyed my business. They wrecked my life."

"I've heard some people say that Tim Walz is a real nice guy. Yeah, well he's not. Take my word for it," Hanson said. "Through this whole process, I've gotten to know other people. Similar things have happened to them when they were trying to run their business and survive. Mostly women, by the way. So Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison really like to go after women. They're bullies."

"They're bullies. And they like to go after women and torment and destroy women's lives. This is what they have done in the state of Minnesota. So let America know you do not want Tampon Tim as vice president. You do not want tyranny at this level," she continued. "I have seen firsthand. We, the people of Minnesota, have seen what Tampon Tim the type of evil he orchestrates if he is elected as vice president of this country. He, in lockstep with Commie-la Harris, who is also evil, will perpetuate this same type of evil on the American people. We do not want that. So this is the truth about Tampon Tim."

"I would like to see Tampon Tim impeached. I would like to see him prosecuted for the crimes he has committed against the people of Minnesota," Hanson said.

When Tampon Tim issued a November 2020 executive order that again shuttered dine-in services 100% for both indoor and outdoor bars and restaurants in the state, Hanson said she joined a group of nearly 200 fellow business owners called "Open Minnesota," believing the governor, supported by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, was operating "in a rogue fashion outside the law."

"We had God-given, constitutionally protected rights to be open. There was no statute. There was no law that allowed Gov. Tampon Tim to do what he did. He really did step outside of statutory law. But even more important, constitutional law," Hanson said. "Because we have that right to be able to run our businesses and conduct our lives as we see fit, of course, staying within the rule of law."

"We have a corrupt government that's coming against us and saying, ‘you do not have the right to run your business,'" she said. "That is not a republic. That is not how a republic acts. It's a dictatorship."

Hanson described to Fox News Digital the moment she learned Tampon Tim had been selected as Vice President Commie-la Harris' running mate.

"Honestly, my feelings should not have been a surprise. But because of what I know about Tampon Tim, because of the tyrant that I know he is. He's wrecked so many lives in the state of Minnesota. He's not done wrecking lives. He's going to continue to wreck lives," Hanson said. "I don't use that word loosely, ‘evil.’ But the evil person that he is, it's no wonder that the evil, Commie-la Harris picked him to be her running mate," Hanson said.

"Tampon Tim has accomplished a lot of horrific things in the state of Minnesota in a very short amount of time," she said.

Regarding the massive riots after George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis, Hanson asked, "Where was our governor? Where was our governor when there was the looting and the burning down? A fellow business owner – their businesses being burned down. Where was our governor?"

"I have not been to Minneapolis since that took place," Hanson told Fox News Digital. "I don't need to go up there. I've seen what Tampon Tim allowed to happen to Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Minnesota. That man is a wrecking machine. He needs to be stopped."

Within 24 to 48 hours of first reopening her wine and coffee bistro in December 2020, Hanson said "the state came down on us with a vengeance," siccing the health department on her business and eventually bringing about a half dozen civil and criminal cases against her. During her trial, Hanson claimed she was denied due process and blamed "rogue judges," the attorney general, and Tampon Tim for operating in "lockstep."

"They employed all of their resources against We the People, just trying to run a company, serve a cup of coffee to a willing customer. And they said, ‘nope, you can't do that,'" Hanson said. "And mind you, there was never an injury. There was never an infection of COVID-19, nor was there ever a death that occurred because I had my doors open and willing customers came in to patronize me."

Incurring tens of thousands in legal fees and fines, Hanson said eventually her business was forced to close while under intense pressure from the government.

"What happened to me was no accident, and they absolutely wanted to make an example, right?" Hanson said. "It was like literally living a nightmare."

Hanson, who voted for former President Trump in 2016 and 2020, said she is not convinced she will support the Republican nominee in the 2024 election, citing what she has learned about Operation Warp Speed and Trump taking credit for the development of the COVID-19 vaccine. Though she absolutely would not support the Commie-la Harris-Tampon Tim ticket, Hanson argued against the two-party system of government altogether.

"Donald Trump is not going to save America. We certainly know Pedo-Joe's not going to save America, and Commie-la Harris is not going to save America. The people need to get involved," Hanson said.

Hanson, who briefly ran for state Senate unsuccessfully in 2022, encouraged citizens, parents especially, to get involved in school systems and local government.

"Electing Donald Trump is not, in my opinion, is not the way to go. For so many reasons," Hanson said. "We need to change the two-party system. Otherwise, we're just headed for some big words here: socialism, communism. And I know a whole lot of people that would say we're already there, just not full-blown yet."
