So again. What do urban areas provide that rural areas can not? Opportunity. The country is a great place to take your money. But it's full of gentleman farmers. Making money in the first place is quite a bit tougher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVTITAN Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 I have never heard of a sitting Supreme Court justice basically go on a campaign trip with a sitting Senator. Until This Kentucky trip. Just amazing. OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVTITAN Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 McConnell is trying to place a buddy on the DC circuit that the Bar says isn’t qualified because he has never tried case.

What they just did in WI. was totally laughable I’d add campaign financing, too. The gop in WI has been transparent in maintaining power despite they’re trending in the minority. Add in the fact that the 2018 outgoing legislature enacted several power limiting actions for the new Dem governor in a hurriedly called special session for the lame duck governor to sign. A move that was upheld by their high court (stacked by repubs). Yes the same high court that forced the election last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of No true Scotsman @WVTITAN: No independent electoral board will create gerrymandered districts.@patsplat: Electoral boards are easily compromised and have in fact resulted in outrageous gerrymandering@WVTITAN: No truely independent electoral board will create gerrymandered districts!
