Revenge for the impeachments and the various investigations and prosecutions. Also revenge against anyone in his administration who has spoken out against him. So people like Liz Cheney. Adam Kinzinger, Jack Smith, Merritt Garland, Biden and his son, Bill Barr, John Kelly, Mark Milley, any prominent figure who has publicly insulted him. The smart money is that a long list already exists.

Fortunately for us there is a very clear geographic split between where most Trump supporters live vs where most of the rest of us live. Demographers can and have focused it down to the postal code level, which is just to say that it's far more granular than simply red vs blue states.

I've played both electric and acoustic (and bass and banjo) for 35+ years and none of this makes any sense to me either. I suspect it may be an age issue.

Bullshit. People openly disparage and mock Christianity all the time. The difference is that nobody ever gets killed for it. Islam is in dire need of reform. Pointing that out is not a form of bigotry.

This is what "loyalty" cards are for. They give you a little discount in exchange for being able to track your purchases.

Leaving aside all of the maquiladoras that have sprung up across the border since the passage of NAFTA, sure, your old man has a point.

What really happened is that we did move our low-cost manufacturing to Latin America, but our capitalist rent-seeking overlords figured out that playing ball with the CCP was even more lucrative and so they willingly allowed low-cost Asian manufacturing to take over.

That said, it's still true that the US does more trade with Mexico than we do with China.

This is correct. Their ruling will be legally binding for all states since federal law supercedes state law as a basic constitutional matter.

I'm not optimistic at all. I'm simply stating the legal reality. If you read any optimism into my statement, that's on you.

I don't think that's what is being said at all. I think what's being said is that if the future belongs to the next generation, it's in all of our interests that intelligent and responsible people do not simply give up and allow the idiots to dominate the future. In other words, we all have a stake in the coming generations and simply opting out because we find it somehow inconvenient is not a moral decision.

This is not to say that we all need to have kids, but rather, is to say that we shouldn't necessarily fault those who do choose to have them. Again, if the children are our future, it would be nice if at least some of them were raised by responsible, intelligent and well-educated parents.

This is not a controversial opinion.

You shouldn't feel bad about it. Do what you think is right for yourself. On the other hand, you should recognize that you have no idea what being a parent is actually like, which in a sense means that you don't actually know what you are talking about. It's life-changing and unlike any imagining.

Fortunately we've had millions of years to evolve coping mechanisms for whatever anxieties we may feel as parents. Given that reproduction is key to life, you probably shouldn't be as surprised as you are.

It's a life-changing experience that is unlike any imagining. I am a much better person for having had a kid. That said, I never found it even remotely terrifying or unpleasant, which is just to say that it's definitely not for everyone.

Would you rather he didn't do it?

More than one thing can be true at once.

They only test for alcohol after a reportable incident. Nobody cares if you drink on your own time. Source; I have been through OSHA 30 training. They do screen for MJ though, which is bullshit since it's legal in so many states now. IBEW, UA and a few other powerful trade unions are currently leaning on the feds to end the screening requirements in states where it's legal, so we may see real progress relatively sooner than people think, unless Trump wins.

I don't think you can blame people for being sick of the negativity. It's everywhere these days. You can't get away from it. You'd be forgiven for thinking that this smallish move on Biden's part would be greeted with indifference rather than outright boos, but no, nothing is ever good enough, this is the world we live in.

Hivemind was always the wrong word anyway. It's more of a mob mentality than anything organized and productive like a hive.

As an Oregonian I took an embarrassingly long time to figure this out.

A string of non sequiturs does not an argument make.
