Mike "Iraq just like farmers markets in Indiana" Pence.

That Daily Show bit where they found Hoosier troops in Iraq to call Pence full of poo poo was pretty great.

I'm super loving interested to see a good pile of LV polls, because of how crazy the crosstabs have been this cycle. Trump losing with college-educated white people and losing bigly with women—two groups of reliable voters, who generally don't skew as anti-GOP as they look this cycle—is going to shift the numbers around. I want to see if that makes LVs more Dem than RVs for the first time in a looooooong while.

She didn't get a free ride, it wasn't used for any college applications and only was used by Harvard as a "diversity" thing after she was already on the staff.

Meanwhile, Donald trumps father, sometimes known as Bjorn bjornson, lied to Jews about his heritage to get their money.

I was one in 2013.

It's pretty bimodal - you have entitled ambitious pricks and idealistic gregarious folks. Not a lot in between, though there is some room for the occasional older cynical goon.

I worked for a woman, so dunno about the banging or gays, but the lesbians were bipartisan and omnipresent.

That's very Hillary of her

She didn't get a free ride, and it was never used on any applications, Harvard just listed her as having Native American ancestry for some diversity thing. Aside from that, she has addressed it, saying that her family told her it was the case, and she's inclined to believe them, but she has no proof aside from family stories.

She's from Oklahoma originally, which puts the odds of her having at least some Native ancestry much higher than average. That being said, her family could easily be passing false information down the line, which isn't at all uncommon.


Side Note: For a long time my Mom's side of the family claimed to have Native American ancestry. After doing research and getting some DNA work done, I can safely say I have no Native American Heritage.... though I do have Melanesian Ancestry. People lie to their children for convenience all the time, and in my case a much more interesting story got covered up because someone didn't want to explain that Mommy was actually kidnapped from a small island while Daddy was a Sailor with the British Navy.

quote:

"We think that the positions of Donald Trump, the man running for president, and Gov. Pence are in the mainstream of America," Manafort said on "Fox News Sunday."

"And we’re confident that the combined Trump/Pence ticket is going to be very appealing to moderates, conservatives and, frankly, liberals who were supporting Bernie Sanders because of his campaign against the rigged system, the rigged Wall Street system, the rigged political system, the rigged trade system."

"The messages of change that Trump campaigned on," Manafort said, "are those messages that were popular to Sanders supporters and we think will be an appeal to us."

Indiana food:

Pork Tenderloin sandwich. Pretty tasty, if bad for you.


Often served with fried mushrooms.


Apple butter and anything Hoosiers can form an excuse to put apple butter on


Corn plus fire.


Morel mushrooms. These seriously loving own and live up to the hype and Hoosiers will straight fight about it if someone finds out about their favorite morel hunting grounds. Typically either sauteed or grilled. I've seen them breaded, but that's rare, as it masks their awesome flavor.


Lake and river fish of all varieties are also very popular.

Thanks for watching, I hope at least one person from a big city on a coast impulsively started to type out that they don't give a gently caress about flyovers states! Or let's be honest, even those from po-dunk little towns on the coasts with jobs like "student" or "entry-level service job" or "underemployed" were probably also gonna post about that.

Other states have U-Pick mushrooms, too. Ours may not be as tasty as morels, but they will let your third eye open and your gaze will pierce the veil that conceals the true universe.

Caloric density efficiency? One that I didn't post, because it's typically popular with kids, but adults often grow out of it is "corny corn" aka "corn porn" which is just a rather sweet corn-bread almost-casserole type thing with actual kernels of corn throughout it. It's not a thing to be proud of.

Yes, yes, because when I think what might help the Trump ticket appeal to the average Bernie supporter, it's adding a homophobic free trade advocating Iraq War apologist as VP.

Edit: There's no reason that should only appeal to people from the midwest, though, so the real question is why isn't everybody deep frying everything at all times
