Sorry to continue the pronunciation chat (not sorry!), but French people pronounce their Orleans quite differently from the way Americans pronounce New Orleans. I saw this strange video on twitter where someone native to New Orleans complained about other Americans doing it wrong by either using the English pronunciation, or mangling the "native" New Orleans pronunciation (something like "Nawlins" or so), both of which are still so different from the way a French person would say Orleans.

Des Moines is actually a really cool small city, but yeah outside of that there's nothing cool in rural Iowa/Illinois as depicted on that map besides some college towns like Iowa City.

Chicago is the only cool part of Illinois.

Champaign-Urbana make an attempt.

Kankakee/Bradley/Bourbonnais are poo poo. Bloomington-Normal is poo poo. Peoria is poo poo unless you like the riverboat casinos, in which case, Metropolis is probably cool in that book, but nowhere else.

Don't live in Illinois.

Yeah but Chicago is a legitimate great world city so that kind of makes up for it. I'd sort of make the case that it is probably more linked to Wisconsin in cultural terms than it is to the rest of Illinois, if not geographically by proximity to other population centers in each respective state.

It continues to amaze me the amount of people that had to either gently caress up, look the other way, or get outright paid off to make Donald Trump President. Any one of them could've dramatically altered the course of history, but didn't.

Fred Trump probably knew that there was a good chance that his son would have gotten fragged even if he had greased the wheels to get him the cushiness stateside billet possible.

50 someodd million people by and large picked trump as an affirmative choice and in a just world their families and peers would be forever doubtful of their judgement.

Trump would have been Captain America from Generation Kill, only instead of everyone just griping about him as he continues to gently caress everyone over they would have shot him at the first chance.

Also Trump is notorious for not paying people so the loyalty may be short lived.
