I've never understood the whining from people about paying off student loans.

Curious how he had a decent job. He was directly involved in the IRS scandal during the previous administration. From a regular Joe looking at it, it's not surprising that a Democrat-appointed guy doesn't want to be investigating.

Looks pretty geographic to me. Fortunately, NY and maybe some others don't want the vaccine so perhaps the Feds should make sure we get them first.

His lead is down to ~15K in AZ and is around 10K i think in GA. It'll end up being pretty thin margins just like Trump's win in 2016.

Donald seems like a very vain man and I would not be all that surprised if he skipped inauguration. I didn't need a Michael Cohen to tell me that though and I'm not sure why anyone would give him much thought. It's in his best interest financially to continue trying to give these sorts of takes because his career is over.

One of the idiots at vox tweeted a video of the celebrations in DC with no negative comment about being dangerous but was very upset when Notre Dame rushed the field. Some people are too dumb to insult lol

Not sure you can really talk lol

I hate it but such is life. This year is weird

I'm alive. Won't say how I'm feeling or what my BAC is.

Defining givers and takers is not really going to be easy. North Dakota has a sizeable Indian population. They get a fair bit of federal money. North Dakota has a two Air Force Bases, is the money the government spends on those two counted? We have two interstates that go through the state. I imagine those cost a lot of federal dollars to maintain. Is that money counted? Is the energy independence North Dakota contributes to accounted for? We have an awful lot of oil, gas, and coal if you haven't heard. The whole givers/takers stuff is generally dumb.

Lol I look forward to using the power of the purse in the future to compel proper voting from family members.

We'll get the Senate. Mitch will get boots on the ground. Wish we had better candidates down there but thank God the Dem candidates are the types who also ride the short bus. Will probably be the two hottest contested Senate seats in recent memory.

I'm confident the GOP wins then both.

One would expect the state to want to form its own university/team

I think he's just bitter because all the big dreams he had for a Biden administration have likely went out the window.

Sorry that my parents are descended from different countries entirely. I suppose that rules out being inbred. As for going away, I suspect you'll find one of us to be more welcome here than the other. Shall we take a quick vote?

no one is afraid of you giving them no quarter lol. You remind me of the kid I pinned in high school wrestling without using my hands lol.

The Obama worship was >= to Trump. There are plenty of people that are "ride or die" with The Don, but what made the Obama stuff worse is any criticism was deemed racist and the mainstream media was full-on invested in him being portrayed positively. The "Trump Train" folks tend to be working class people from rural areas or small cities. Their voice is generally heard once every two to four years. The Obama stans(word the kids use nowadays) occupy the media, academia, government in general. Their voice is heard constantly and any criticism of Obama was largely dismissed as "racist." Obama Admin built cages for kids at the border. I personally don't care because I think its a good idea, but it was not a bad thing until 2018 when Don used those facilities. Obama IRS targeted conservative groups, yet his administration didn't face much criticism for that. His administration sued f'ing nuns of all people. He went after whistle-blowers and journalists in a way that would make Donald Trump blush. Dude got caught on a hot mic asking Putin to quit acting up until after his reelection. But yet there was limited accountability there because his loyal followers occupied the positions that would hypothetically hold him and his folks accountable. Remember the dumpster fire of media coverage after RBG kicked the bucket? "We can't replace this icon of the Supreme Court with someone like Barrett!" Yet when Antonin Scalia, a conservative judicial icon died, Barack was just doing his job and the seat doesn't need to go to a conservative jurist. TL:DR version: the difference between Trump Train folks and the Obama crowd isn't their devotion or necessarily their numbers, it is their positions in society.

Lol he wants to send the North Dakota National Guard into communities to see if people are wearing masks? "Why don't we win elections in ND anymore?" - libs lol

Tough to institute a mandate when it ain't enforceable lol

Boot Edge Edge is a political idiot despite being a bright person.. I believe his quote was "our opponents call us socialists so maybe we should be" or something along those lines. That alone likely sinks you in a general election I would think.

I like him too. He'd scare the heck out of America's enemies lol. No idea what his long term goals are.

Yeah I hope the Trump family mostly stays clear of things other than maybe picking specific causes they advocate for (See Junior with hunting/fishing stuff). Scott rules. Big fan of his. Very likable dude. Will be fun to see how we screw it all up lol

She shouldn't be anywhere near public office lol. I'm as Republican as it gets but if you want the GOP to be healthy, you don't want her running for any office above the PTO. Every time my mother brings her up I cringe a bit more. If the theory is "we need our own Obama" type then you tap Tim Scott. If you want a woman you go with Haley. I'm sure some other names will pop up (Noem, maybe Hawley or Cotton). Maybe Rubio or Ted give it another shot. I absolutely hate the idea of picking people based on race or sex but the GOP may end up doing that, thankfully it's convenient that the Party has some good options that aren't typical WASP men from Connecticut or New York or whatever. Watch some person few if anyone know about come out of nowhere and get the nomination in 24 lol.

You can't do it to anyone, you aren't a star. "When you are a star, they'll let you do anything" Unless Hayduke1 is secretly TJ Oshie or Jonathan Toews or Zach Parise....in that case....nice.
