Simply pick a rural area with no federal support and promise to pick up the slack when it comes to roads, sewer, schools, etc., in exchange for everyone swearing fealty to the lovely multinational sweatshop forever. Good? Let them personally experience it. Their self inflicted suffering is preferable to holding the rest of the country hostage to their pettiness.

King of Foolians posted:Is he back on this again? I thought the new strategy for Trump was “So what if I asked foreign governments for dirt on my political rivals? It was to investigate corruption and as long as I say the word “CORRUPTION” I can do whatever I want”. I think it’s because he can’t allow himself to be painted in any kind of bad light, he has to be the perfect good person his ego/dying brain paint him as. So even if it means saving him by painting him as doing a bad thing. He can’t loving take it, everyone else has to be bad. Not him.

Uhh, I am pretty sure when Trump says "corruption" he means "Biden", not "Naftogaz". Though, looks like Perry wasn't doing much actual anti-corruption, either: quote:Among other changes, Perry pushed for Ukraine’s state-owned natural gas company Naftogaz to expand its board to include Americans, two people familiar with the matter said. Two long-time energy executives based in Perry’s home state of Texas were among those under consideration for that role, one source familiar with the administration’s dealings with the company said.

those Volker/Sondland texts mention fixing "personnel issues" as something that the US was pushing for along with the "corruption" investigation quote:[7/19/19, 7:01:22 PM] Kurt Volker: Good. Had breakfast with Rudy this morning-teeing up call w Yermak Monday. Must have helped. Most impt is for Zelensky to say that he will help investigation—and address any specific personnel issues—if there are any I bet we just learned what that personnel problem was: not enough rich republican donors on the board of their state-owned natural gas company eke out fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Oct 5, 2019 |

They don’t care about the future. They only want to harm and kill women, and that’s the outcome they’ll get. Because rich women will still be able to get abortions, the democratic party won’t try to reverse it beyond perhaps some token measures (tax credits for birth control pills).
