    Man, I wish I would've seen/noticed that. Then, I'd actually have a memory of the built environment of the place (visited extended family there once around 2010-2011). We even took a drive down to Cincinnati. 

    If you went to Cincy, this might help.  (Not a fan).

    Background on "big butter Jesus" needed. I've only been to Dayton once, and if that was a thing, I've forgotten (much like the rest of my visit there).

    Off of I-75 just south of Dayton, a church built a structure that was struck by lightening.  Heywood Banks had a song about it on Bob & Tom.

  3. Ohio also had the gerrymandering case struck down, so a win for GOP.  Outside of the C-cities (Columbus, Cincy, Cleveland) and Toledo,  the state is rural and white.  So unless colleges and universities have a GOTV movement,  expect R.    

     

    Edit: Electoral college wise.

    Come on. I'd take those to be two separate things. McDonald's is one thing. A small restaurant where you're earning tips (and not getting paid minimum wage) is another thing. Let's not sink to their level. We should reserve our outrage for the legitimately outrageous, something that isn't in short supply. 

    That's how I read it too.  But still,  how out of touch to think this: 

    Quote

    "If you're working at McDonald's or a small little restaurant where you're earning tips ... if you're nice to the people, you make a lot of money."

    A lot of money by being nice?

    Thanks on the second part.  You know you're old when you decide to re-read the Constitution on a Saturday night because I forgot when that became law.

    The exclusion of indians if I remember correctly had more to do with racism than anything.  Of course the wording could be interpreted that those not willing/allowed to become citizens could be excluded from being counted/represented.

     

    I doubt he re-read the Constitution.  But thankfully you are young and did not respond on a Saturday night.

    Pop quiz: What's it called when your observations don't match your results, so you change your model to match the results?

    You show a graph with no link to back up your shit data.   Ja?

    Biden skipped Essence fest?  Of all the times to take the black vote for granted.  I know he's clueless, but what the fuck are his advisors thinking?   The guy doesn't even have a job, what else could have been more important this weekend? 

    No proof, but let's see what Q/R's/conspiracy folks/Bros would go with:  Epstein.

    Our society, and the political boards here and elsewhere, have moved from caring about problems and trying to solve them to insulting the other side in the most attention-getting and meanest way possible. It’s not very productive and it just causes emotional distress in everyone. The immaturity is amazing.

    So the R's destroy norms and act like assholes.  Then when The D's recognize that trying to be reasonable and abide by the norms aren't working, they resort to "immaturity".  Now it is unproductive.  So, cool.

    Yeah that's not really persuasive. A bunch of his "stings" have failed, and that's what you're showing. Nobody argues the contrary. He "lies" to get people to say things they wouldn't otherwise say, you know, like how Google feels obligated to stop the Trump thing from ever happening again. 

    You're really close to the truth here. Being "skeptical of James O'Keefe" is entirely reasonable. This thread exists not because O'Keefe merits skepticism, but because a large number of people are "skeptical" of conservative outlets but at the same time believe anything put out by the NY Times, the BBC, the WaPo, etc. All of them merit skepticism. They are all selling an editorial position/bias. 

    O'Keefe put out a piece last week from a Pinterest insider, who provided documents demonstrating bias at Pinterest. This week he put out documents from Google, showing clear and deliberate political bias in their editorial choices. It was news, in fact, that they have an "editorial policy". No telephone company ever had an editorial policy. 

    They are putting their thumb on the scale in a way that makes the Russia interference seem like a speck of dust in Google's sandstorm.

    They aren't banning conservative speech, they're banning free speech. It's not some crazy accident Elizabeth Warren is under attack. They're unpersoning a bunch of people. It's evil. It's Orwellian. What do you call it when a private company controls your democracy? Fascism. Government-Corporate partnership. A government negotiating with a monopsony corporation is like two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner. Nobody represents you and me.

     

    Box.  Pinterest equals election interference.
