Who needs the onion? ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Senator Tim Kaine played the harmonica. His wife gave an impromptu clogging performance. When it was over, Mr. Kaine had just one wish: another beer. E: DaveWoo posted:You'd think Comey would've known better than to give classified info to folks with every incentive to leak it. Seems kinda careless of him. Extremely careless, even. I'm not sure of the laws but he was likely legally obligated to. Besides if you want the "knew it would be leaked" angle, he would also know that it wouldn't look good for the Republicans.

twistedmentat posted:SO I am legitimately interested how a state like Mississippi gets to the bottom of basically every quality of life measurement and stays there. I can understand it on a city level like Detroit where it was a single industry city and that industry collapsed so it lost the wealth it brought, but outside of Klan related murders I can't think of anything Mississippi is known for in the last 50-60 years. Well, to summarize what others have said and add some: Mississippi was incredibly dependent on slave-based agriculture. Before the Civil War the state was split between white slave owners that were super rich and poor white farmers who farmed their own land, and there wasn't a whole lot in-between, and next to no industry. The Civil War happened, slavery was abolished, then you're left with a population of black freedmen farming the land for subsistence and a population of white farmers angry they have to share with the ex-slaves. The white slave owner wealth wanted nothing to do with anything that might enrich the black population and whipped up the poor white population into being against the Northerners that were trying to rebuild the South. So Reconstruction ended miserably with the help of the poor white population (and the KKK), and Jim Crow started. A lot of the black population fled the South into cities up north in hopes of better lives, but instead all of the white people left those cities once the black people arrived, which part of the driving force of suburbs growing after WWII. Meanwhile in Mississippi the black population remained with little recourse but to limp along in small towns and rural areas as they were disenfranchised through every trick in the political playbook that helps keep a minority population down. They were theoretically separate but equal during Jim Crow, but of course that was a lie as banks had a policy of not giving home, vehicle, or small business loans to black people. So while the white population built wealth through those loans, the black population stayed as impoverished as the day slavery ended. In the past 50 years the Civil Rights Act made things right on paper, but so did the end of the Civil War (before Jim Crow undid that). As for the current state of things, Bancorp South, one of the regional banks, got fined for redlining (avoiding giving money to people based on race) this year. That's a short version of why Mississippi is still in such a poo poo state 150 years after the Civil War ended.

Popular Thug Drink posted:the bigger problem is that mississippi's government made a concious decision a hundred years ago to spurn industralization and urbanism in favor of good old rural agriculturalist values, which being honest was probably rooted directly in racism as well I don't think that you need to put "probably" in that last statement. Spurning industrialization wasn't their real intention so much as the necessary result of absolutely refusing to spend a drat dime on educating "those people". Even still Mississippi got screwed in the post civil war years. Every time it looked like they were getting their feet back under them some sort of economic crisis (or in one case an insect) came along and pushed them back into the mud. Just as an aside I think that a lot of people don't realize just how badly the upper-lower and lower-middle classes in the South have gotten hosed by modern logistics and mechanization. Sure jobs in the textile and lumber mills didn't pay great but they did pay something and it was better than the agricultural jobs (which also don't exist anymore thanks to mechanization).

Geostomp posted:Allowing their viewers to indulge in their vices, while excusing them entirely is one of their biggest draws. If they can't find some tortured logic to deny negative impacts, then blame everyone else, especially the victims, they'd never get anywhere in the business. The fact that it's lead to them becoming the voice of the world's largest, richest hate group and spawned a generation of extremists completely detached from any reality is just a bonus since those people give them even more power and money. It's the same case with that youtube user Tony48219. The guy was obviously deranged, but he listened to all the other crazy evangicals like VFX until one day he went out and shot the girl he was stalking and then himself. And afterwards all those nutter Christians couldn't wash their hands fast enough of ever being the source of his rage induced murder

Women are choosing to have babies later in life or sometimes not at all because they have careers and lives that don't require a man anymore. What a loving human rights problem we got there.

People keep saying this, but what the media really wants is viewers and they seem to have decided that filming a three month long slow motion train wreck and commenting on the expanding carnage 24/7 is equally as entertaining to people as a made up horse race narrative that nobody would buy anyway. They've been fairly savage to trump since it became obvious that the stink of loser is all over him. Everyone enjoys a good dogpile and he's not nearly likeable enough for a redemption arc.
