Meteor had a good run and raised a lot of awareness for its centrepiece issue of global mass extinction but it's time to face facts, it's halfway to venus and rapidly loosing internal cohesion. While I know the campaign has sometimes been nasty it's time for us to do what's best for the party and rally around Runaway Climate Change.

Nope. We did timber, iron, and milling, and while those three things are still a part of our economy, we've transitioned to medical devices and service pretty well. Also, we kept our unions, and the local Democrats are good at remembering outstate in the budget, so the Iron Range is blue as gently caress and hates Trump for the fatcat that he is.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Oh I thought the auto industry imploded there and was a disaster. Maybe I'm confusing states, or just didn't know there was more going on there.

I don't think we've ever had an auto industry. You're almost certainly thinking of Michigan, although from what I heard even they're starting to bounce back from that.

I'm proud that MN at least gives reasonable people a chance to serve their state. Jesse in 1998 compared to 2016 Trump is amazingly reasonable.

Michigan is so large and diverse that it's hard to characterize as a failed industrial state, even though everyone always does. We have our own in-state mini-rustbelt, essentially. We also have areas like Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor with low unemployment and modern micro economies. We also also have a ton of rural voters, including most of the upper peninsula, as well as a bunch of vibrant young college towns.

If there is no Dog, everything is permitted
Nothing will ever come of this, but the Trump campaign is obviously colluding with its SuperPACs and not even really trying to hide it.

quote:

As recently as last night (US time) Tim was getting emails from Trump begging for more money ahead of the critical June FEC deadline - which we discussed yesterday.

But here's where things got significantly weirder.

When I chatted with (Australian MP) Tim (Watts) last night (US Time) he said he'd gotten two more Trump emails in the last 7 hours. But when he showed me the emails, something pretty weird was immediately apparent.

They weren't actually just from Trump. One was from the Trump campaign. The other was from a pro-Trump Super Pac called Crippled America PAC.

Now, normally (i.e., completely separate from anything to do with Trump) it would be entirely unremarkable that someone was getting fundraising emails both from a campaign and also Super PACs supporting the campaign. They're likely both buying lists from the same vendor or even different vendors of likely Trump voters.

But remember, Tim is a foreign citizen and part of the government in another country. We've already speculated about the various ways all these foreign legislators could have ended up on Trump's list. The more we've looked into it, it seems increasingly implausible that he got this list from a list vendor. Not impossible just not likely at all. It now seems more probable that the Trump Organization simply had these emails in some business related database and decided to dump them into the email hopper for the fundraising blitz or just found some site that had a zip file of foreign government officials and used that. As I've said, all of these possibilities are outlandish and ridiculous. But we know for a fact that he has and continues to spam members of Parliament in the UK, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland and Iceland and possibly others. So one of these completely preposterous set of facts has to be true.
