    Re: The States: Doing Their Own Thing...

    I like how his argument against cities is nuclear war caused by the idiot he voted for or some zombie apocalypse that's never going to happen. And also naming cities as an counter argument to living in cities.

And because I'm tasked with and paid to worry about it. I'll say "Hi" to Mac McLennan and Paul Sukut for you next time I see them.
      So NK cant shoot off a missile correctly but they are going to shut down our electrical grid with a highly advanced EMP weapon? Sure thing Sparky. You remind me of a truck driver I know who believes the government is breeding and training Sasquatches to be the next super army. (not kidding) He always talks about an EMP attack is imminent.

      Trust me, no one around here feels safer knowing you are on the case.

          Speaking of States read the Star Tribune today. New polls indicate that we are just about 50/50 in the recent poll despite Trump. We're getting closer and closer to Wisconsin and Iowa every day.

          A new Star Tribune Minnesota Poll found that 47 percent are now inclined to vote for a Democrat, while 45 percent said they'll probably vote for a Republican — a statistical tie given the poll's 3.5 percentage point margin of error.

            Doesn't necessarily have to be North Korea, or a missile. Remember the Northeastern Blackout of 2003? The point is that the country is INCREDIBLY vulnerable.

              IIRC, wasn't the vote in Minnesota pretty close in 2016? And they said Texas was becoming purple... no, I think it's Minnesota that's becoming purple...

                  It was because Dems didn't go to the polls. Chump got almost the exact votes as Mittens (within 2K IIRC). Yet he lost by 1% when Mittens lost by almost double digits.

                  If Dems continue to sit out elections then yes Minny and a lot of other places would go purple/red. Thus far is seems the left has temporarily learned that lesson. Lets see if it continues.

                      Yeah, Minnesota is out of the running. Not sure if I wanted it or not. I think everything is just too big nowadays.

                        I agree with Dr. Mrs.' theory: 17 stalking horses and 3 finalists. Amazon will pick a DC area HQ to get on the federal gravy train, particularly with classified intel services. The other sites are only there to wring concessions from the DC sites.

                            Im not sure. Some of the locations already house other Amazon functions. So they may want to just expand in one of those locations.

                            Locally there is already a software development center and a fulfillment center. Im sure others on the list have similar situations.

                              Keep up that attitude = keep losing to Republicans. You either vote based on who's closest to you on the issues, or you allow the Trump/Ryan/McConnell's of the world to undo everything you stand for.

                                I'm convinced it's hopeless. Democrats have to fall in love. Republicans don't. That's at least a 10 point swing right there very cycle.
