Barbe Rouge posted:I voted for Trump thinking he would protect ethnic minorities Because he was caterwauling through the whole campaign about how Obama had abandoned ME Christians and that he would make a special effort to protect and shelter them. So she wasn't totally insane for voting for him, just stupid enough to fall for a huckster.

Discendo Vox posted:race is a bullshit social construct obviously, but for the record these genealogy tests also aren't particularly meaningful. In practice, it's likely there's much higher racial admixture than they'd indicate. Friend of mine just had one done for herself and she's always prided herself on her 100% Irish heritage. Got back her test and it showed that she was 100% northern European/Scandinavian. She was like, "WTH?! I have ancestry trees!" I was all, "LOL, lemme tell you about these people called the Vikings."

Epic High Five posted:“[I]t doesn’t look to me as if [Bevin] understands,” the man said, struggling with the consequences of his own vote. “Without this little bit of help these people are giving me, I could probably die.” It’s a problem that apparently didn’t occur to him until after he backed the far-right candidate. A good man like Bevin would never do anything to hurt a hard-working, deserving guy like him. The only people who are gonna get hurt are moochers and city slickers who don't really work for their living! *dies of preventable illness*

IIRC, Hillary Clinton's top aide had roughly $100,000 in legal bills when Bill left office in 2000. Her and Bill both hit the speaking circuit hard because they were both in desperate need of quick cash to retire their huge legal bills.

The number of people who just assumed that Trump was a great dealmaker and negotiator and knew everything about making money because they watched The Apprentice was loving mind-boggling.

Grammarchist posted:I've gotten a rabid conservative in southern Indiana to admit Hillary would have been a better president based on the GOP's hatred for public lands and conservation. He probably won't vote Democratic because he's still pretty racist, but there's a chance now he might not vote at all. He's also started bitching publicly about Trump to other conservatives, which I'm hoping will demoralize them. Trouble is that they'll flip back more often than not when they're back among their peer group.

She was 6'1", blonde, pretty, and a law student so I think she got something like $12k. It was a huge pain in the rear end, but she retired all of her credit card debt and bought a new used car so it worked out for her.

In assets at least. A while back John Deere hired away Rolls-Royce's big customer experience guy because they realized that every farmer who came in to buy a combine was dropping enough cash to buy any two luxury autos. IDK what changed afterwards, but that sounded like a solid hire to me.
