agreed. Phoenix is almost 100% suburbed hoa with nationals chains on every corner of the 1 mile square block grid. no particular culture or sense of community.

This whole week has been fantastic, I really appreciate that the Don Jr story broke on Sunday and we're seeing the increasing iterations on it all week and the whole White House is scrambling to cover their tracks and shuffle their lawyers and constantly contradicting themselves and getting their stories and arguments crossed up

It's like when an earthquake is coming and all the animals get agitated and scurry around and there's a flurry of activity and you know something big is about to pop.

"That's what they all say!"

I have to admit, when the story first came out on Saturday, I thought it was weird, but ultimately not that big a deal. The NYT has structured the rollout of the details of the meeting has been great for drawing maximum public interest and catching Trump and associates in the maximum number of lies.

at least rural ppl grow up near some pretty nature and understand working

suburban "culture" is a dying mall and none of em work or have any identity really

Read Andres Duany's "Suburban Nation" and James Kunstler's "The Geography of Nowhere," both great books.

i also recommend reading Keith Bradsher's "High and Mighty" for a look into how hosed up American car culture is and how car obsession is a big part of why our suburbs are hosed up and soulless.

how many lawyers is trump hiring for his various violations of law or whatever, when you factor in associates and poo poo it's probably cheaper and easier to just be honest

trump thinks spending a lot of money is, in itself, a measure of quality

like how he thinks an overcooked steak drowned in ketchup is high-class food as long as he pays someone over a hundred bucks for it

Nothing at all is going to happen because the people with the power don't want anything to happen.

Every day people in this thread get optimistic about whatever today's scandal is; this will be the thing that brings Trump down!

Nothing is bringing Trump down. The Gilded Age is coming back, and the good guys lost. Sorry.

Normally I'd wait for Joe to make the traditional joke about how actually we're very diverse because of French Canadian migration back during the 19th century, but instead I will simply cop to my state being exceedingly white (and empty).

Keith Bradsher was a columnist for a Detroit area newspaper at one point. He wrote an article about how the Chevrolet Suburban being sold then (mid nineties) was horribly unsafe. A nice polite suburban detroit mom wrote him a letter telling him that he should be killed.

Pittsburg, CA bills itself as the Manhattan of the West Coast. It is not to be confused with San Francisco, the Pittsburgh of the West Coast.

Contrarianism is a disease, Pittsburgh sucks, and your gimmick sucks.

There is no one single thing except possibly the piss tape that will by itself bring Trump down, but all the stuff we've been cataloging for the past several months do matter.

I'm starting to feel like Putin decided that Trump is too incompetent to get the sanctions lifted, so he is just gonna start letting his agents start to burn him

every day we're talking about the trump team's latest bout of incompetence is a day we're not talking about Syria or Ukraine or sanctioning Russian oligarchs

Putin doesn't need a president who's actively helping Russia. as long as the US government is too busy engaging in ~extreme handshakes~ with our allies to have a coherent foreign policy presence, Russia has plenty of room to pursue their own interests without fear of interference
