It doesn’t skew anything, people tend to live in big cities.

To be fair, mookie does have a winky emoticon. I think he fully understands the idiocy of that argument when made seriously.

Where there are jobs, schools? Weird.

There are schools and jobs (just not enough) in Potsdam, NY.

The NY Post is gonna have a lot of fun with that.

It's worth a shot. We are moving in that direction eventually and he's getting in on the ground floor. Gonna freak out the Usual Suspects ("who cares about the lives at stake, I need my third home") but, not to put too fine a point on it, f-ck em, their end is rapidly approaching.

You know who's flush enough to handle this, and it would make a much bigger statement? CA. Your serve, Gavin Newsom.

When the WaPo describes you as left of the centrist(!) Jerry Brown, I don't think that will play in MidAm.

However, when the Democrats are all lumped as socialists/communists and the GOP as fascists/Nazis, it will get worse before it gets better.

MidAm's time is up.

It's gonna be one helluva shock for them to realize that they wasted a 100-year rentier gig and got nothing out of it for their people and now they're just one more pressure group; like the blacks, the browns, the Jews, and the eco freaks.

The day we know we are an adult country is the day we have national political ads that do not include a single shot of waving grain. The Dems have zero rural weight anymore and we don't need it. Ma and Pa Kettle are as vital to us now as 1520 Sedgwick is to R. It's liberation day -- no more roosters and farm fresh eggs. And not a second too soon, as the world burns from the ignorance of the farms.

And when you send my kind to the reeducation centers (it's for our own good, after all), I hope you're happy.

No need. The hard right always thinks we're going to come after them. We're not. We're not going to care about them. They can go to their graves believing their nonsense. We will simply take away their power so they can't harm innocent people again.

Love the optimism. But the electoral college says the great lakes region is the cornerstone of the presidency for the forseeable future. The coasts and the deep south are irrelevant.

That's what Rome thought, too. Until the Visigoths and the Vandals were burning it to the ground.

You wanna be melodramatic, so can we.

You righties never quit picturing tankies sending you off to the Gulag. Old nightmare is old. Time to wake up.

Funny, you don't look like an eight year old Guatemalan child stripped from his parents for seeking asylum and now live in a Trump Summer Camp (TM) in Arizona.

Rome fell because of the Christian state religion. We're doing away with ours just in time to save the game.

But as I said, joe needn't worry. The opposite of his sect's 400-year intolerance of non-Christians isn't vengeance. It's lack of interest, which they will find far worse since it doesn't feed their martyr complex. Having imagined an entire universe with their tender egos at the very center, the worst shock for them at the end is not an enemy coming to get them -- that would confirm their narcissism.

It's that we just won't care about them. They can keep breeding and pumping their superstitions into their next dwindling hundred generations. They will simply become another Also Ran, with no influence. Welcome to the kids table and take your seat next to the Moonies. Nobody's going to persecute you. Nobody will even notice you.

That was supposed to be me being peaceful and reassuring. After all, you can have all the shoes you want, forever.

You just can no longer force other people to wear your shoes.

Of course, wrong.

Five Myths about the Fall of Rome
Washington Post

MYTH: The empire collapsed because of Christianity.

In his monumental study “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,” Edward Gibbon famously proposed that Christianity sparked a decrease in civic duty leading to its collapse. But no modern scholar believes Gibbon’s thesis.

I don't know about that. But lots of nightmares.
