In the USA, can you lose your home even after it is 100% paid off? (lemmy.ml)

Let’s say that you buy a home in cash and have 100% paid off. Could you still lose it somehow?

Liberals stay dumb as fuck.

Ask the BLM organizers who committed suicide by shooting themselves multiple times and then setting their car on fire how secure they feel.

Or the person who published the Panama papers, whatever happened to that guy.

Nothing at all bad happened to the two German journalists who published the Panama Papers. Bastian Obermayer and Frederik Obermaier are both very much alive and well, and have started a nonprofit organization in honor of their friend and colleague, Daphne Caruana Galizia, who was murdered by an operative of the Maltese government officials who she was investigating for corruption that was revealed in the Panama Papers.

The investigations and revelations produced by The Daphne Project are ongoing. These are journalists who refuse to be silenced by one woman's murder.

But to understand that, you'd have to be interested in not being ignorant for five seconds instead of just parroting things you saw online because you think it makes you sound smart.

30% of any group that's murdered by a foreign government is still a very high percent of people murdered by a foreign government

Christ how are people this ignorant? The ICIJ has several hundred people working for it.

And it wasn't a foreign government. Caruana Galizia was MALTESE. She was investigating her own government.
