I know they don't directly touch the Atlantic, but they are very close to the East Coast, and there are no mountains or natural barriers.

Its a short drive with no intervening mountains between Grand Rapids and New York City, so its pretty much the East Coast.

I currently live in Santiago de Chile.

A few weeks ago there was a seismic event that was between 6.9 and 7.1 on the richter scale. Afterwards I would talk about "the earthquake" and the people would look at me confused because there wasn't an earthquake, only a "Temblor".

Uh



Isn't temblor is Spanish for earthquake?

Thanks thread for proving my point about the pervasive nature of ignorance in political opinion shaping.

Thinking NYC and Toledo is the same way people decide other communities don't need services they don't have. They incorrectly assume their knowledge and experience applies.

Yeah, I really don't have any idea what to think about a possible Zuckerberg presidential run. Like, let's say he runs for the Democratic nomination for 2020 and keeps up that kind of rhetoric and proposing those kinds of policies. I mean, those are good things. I like those things and want to vote for those things. But at the same time, he's the fuckin' Facebook guy and he's got Silicon Valley in his goddamn bones. What do you do with all that, y'know?

Worry about one thing at a time. Most pressing: Donald Trump is still POTUS and we've got a Republican Congress.

By what metric? Dems always get a larger percentage in MT than AL in presidential elections. Obama almost won the state in 2008 which is notable considering the racial makeup of the states we're talking about. MT has s democratic Governor and Senator which AL does not.

Perhaps MT is more of a Mauve Mist while Alabama is Candy Apple Red.

Kim Dotcom promised evidence then couldn't produce any, every initial source claiming to have information on Seth Rich has since recanted. I'm about as concerned about Seth Rich's murder being more than a mugging as I am about Apollo 11 not having actually visited the moon.

More specifically:

Kim Dotcom sent a malicious link to Seth Rich's e-mail in an attempt to gain access to the e-mail account so that he could forge an e-mail that makes it look like Seth was working with Wikileaks/was assassinated.

As he did this, he contacted Hannity promising he'll have something in the next few days.

He was fully confident that when Seth Rich's dad checked his son's e-mail, he'd click on that link. Seth Rich's dad never did.

So, Kim got nothing.

Or it would have made the Democratic party more effective, in turn lessening the electoral success of the Republican party.

The bill, as it was, was difficult to pass. It was a work in progress for a while with a lot of amendments.

The public option that we'd personally dreamed about would have probably made it a non-starter with the few Republican votes we needed to grab at the time.

And, besides that, instead of Republicans calling Obamacare a failure, it would have been used as a selling point to its voter base: Democrats truly are the party of the dirty commies.
