Yeah, I have to say, it's usually so stupid that if someone asked me out of a line-up of answers which excuse I think they will run with, I can't usually even imagine it would be so deplorably stupid.

I went to lunch with my sub-boss today, and made the mistake of getting on about politics, and his big issue was Kavanaugh treatment and he mentioned Hillary's emails. I had to pick my jaw up off the ground. But her emails, I mean, I was...what do I do with that?

Well, if you wanted to be truthful, you would agree with him, right?

You surely cannot still believe she was not guilty of so many breaches of the law and was let off the hook by Comey, Strzok/Page, McCabe and Lynch types. At least not and still be expected to looked upon as credible.

Its all factual history now... starting with when Comey admitted it at the original news conference right on up until the present day.

Do you just cover your eyes and ears when the facts dont match what you want to hear?

Crapping on rural areas. *facepalm*

Which is safer...a rural town or a big city?
Which is cleaner?

Which has better hospitals, jobs, college opportunities, infrastructure, etc.?

IMO, the best scenario is a rural community within half an hour of a smaller city, population 1 million or less. Traffic isn't bad, and the small city has all the things the big ones have to a degree. Of course, if you want to go to law school at night, you better live in NYC or Chicago. But, for the most part, living near cities like Charlotte or Nashville or even smaller college-based cities like Lexington, Champaign, Ann Arbor, etc is not bad.

Please. Go to any suburban mall and you'll be exposed to thousands of people not like you. Suburban offices don't have professional women? Since when? This idea that only city dwellers have some reality based view of the world, is rather silly.

We certainly do live in two separate countries. In one,



In the other,



Where lie you?

Me: educated white male, professional, living in a rural community while working in a city. Non-religious.

Wife: educated white female, homemaker/small business operator. Non-religious.

Both of us are anti-Trump and currently vote straight D. Neither one of us are happy with what this land has become under the Orange Buffoon. And, we hope to help upend his apple cart.

I liked Obama more than the wife did, especially by 2012. But, I do see where he could have done better. She liked Hillary. I refused to vote for her. She dislikes Kasich; I'd vote for him again, if he was running.

Dems and Republicans have much more in common then what separates us. I am hopefull that Trump and Pelosi can work on the ACA. The GOP realized over a year that the majority of Americans want to keep the ACA, its not going anywhere. It would be a good start.

The rest of the country needs to be more like Ohio. :)

Seriously: a popular senator whooped ass yesterday, even though he is a D. And an unpopular guy became governor only because he was the R. Now that’s balance. :lol:
 
I’m not a Trump supporter. I’m a Blue dog democrat who lives in a GOP Area. I tend to get along with everyone.

Go figure :)

14 white males in my management meeting right now. Maybe two would agree with me politically on 50% of the issues. I have to get along with everyone.

I never said they were but suburbanites were lumped in with rural people as part of the supposed "problem" which can only apparently be solved by living in a city according to you.
 
White, educated, currently identifying as black, uneducated (specifically Samuel L Jackson). When I do vote its usually on propositions. I'm neither a Trump supporter nor Trump detractor. These generalizations are mostly stupid.

Uh, yea. You said they were isolated out in the burbs and got all their info from Rush and Fox. Doesn't seem that's accurate as Dems won a bunch of suburban seats yesterday.

Not in the op, which is what you quoted.

This is what I said about suburbanites

"Suburban commuters are slightly less indoctrinated, but they are still trapped in a cocoon, most likely listening to Rush and Sean. But, at least a few of them will flip on NPR."
