Talk about draining the Swamp, another thing Trump appears to have learned is that there’s more than one way to skin that particular cat.
With President Trump and his DOGE team slashing government waste, and with massive layoffs and firings of government workers, a glut of real estate is coming to market in the DC metro area.
If you’ve ever been house hunting, there is a good chance you’ve been to realtor.com to take a look at listings. The “Map” button at top right will show the listings on a map of the area you are searching. You will typically see three types of listings:
1) Existing listings, which have the price in a white bubble. These generally constitute most of the listings.
2) “New” listings, which have the price listed in a bubble, along with a blue header that states “New.”
3) “Coming Soon” listings, which also have the price in a bubble, and also a green header that states “Coming Soon.” These usually make up a very small percentage of the listings.
Based on all the “New” and “Coming Soon” listings for the DC Metro area right now, there is a mass exodus taking shape.
Throckmorton has screen grabs of said listings, which are sure to warm the cockles of every MAGA heart. Bonus points to anyone who can enlighten us in the comments section as to exactly WTAF a “cockle” is. As many times as we’ve all used the phrase over the years, can’t honestly say I’ve ever known for sure myself, nor cared enough to look it up.
A cockle is a ocean creature, a bivalve. The millions of shells you see at the beach are primarily cockles.
Edit: well, I left out the point of the damn thing. It has been said that the heart resembles a cockle and the term “warms the cockles of my heart” stems from that. At least that’s how I have always heard it stated.
Cockles and Mussels song. Grandma from Ireland used to play it when I was a wee’un
We have mussels up on the shores of Lawn Guyland. Cockles are similar I imagine.
A few more homes soon on the market as Trump fires every Biden era US attorney…
