Already insane, UAA making it worse
I’m still amazed they have the massive soccer complex there. All those people out there practicing their commie plots...

Re: The States. It's 10th Amendment or bust!
I have a gun nut coworker who sincerely believes BLM arranges the killing of black people and then frames white police for it.
He also believes that while slavery was very bad blacks were happier under slavery because they had, and this is a direct quote, "structure."
He relates everything in geopolitics back to his youth when he was a wild runaround hell-raiser who did a lot of seriously f-cked up (borderline criminal) stuff, and then he found fundamentalist Christianity and settled down, so that proves that everybody who isn't a rock ribbed conservative is just fooling themselves when they think they are "free" because they're all just slaves to their passions. So, as an atheist, I literally cannot see truth since I haven't accepted that Jesus is God. Not just religious truth but any truth, like, he's surprised I can do math and assumes that's just God working through me to try to send me a message.
It's a common delusion in Fundyworld but he takes it to an extreme I haven't seen very much of up close. It's also really interesting to see how very narrow sexual and substance abuse issues in his autobiography are his explanation for everything, from Congress to the Space Program. It's like Stupid Freud.

(This isn't just directed at Jimmy, so much as the whole discussion)
First off, the Blaine hillbilly stuff is ridiculous. It's as suburban sprawly as you can get. I think that's just something people in the lovely ArmstrongCooperDraperPryce district say in the bathtub to soothe themselves between gun shots.
Anyway, I feel like you guys are mixing up your strains of conservatism. There's just a lot of middle/upper-middle class white people in Blaine, which as a group, is always going to be very conservative, because really, why would you want things to change? I also think the area skews a bit older, which make it more conservative.
The hardcore fundamentalist stuff doesn't really play (as much) here as it does in other areas. Even the suburban megachurches are more the refuge of failed theater dropouts than true crooks and scoundrels.
With the Keith Ellison talk earlier, conservatives here obviously don't like him, but all the complaints I hear are 'leftist radical' and nothing about him being Muslim.
Maybe it's just a distinction without a difference since it doesn't change how they vote. I'm just glad MN6 no longer has the state's worst representative after St. Clown's favorite wannabe slaveholder got elected last year. Though Tom Emmer made a strong case last week with his rape of the Boundary Waters. Incidentally, I could see MN6 being more in play than ever in 2018. Emmer has been afraid to show up for a public meeting in the district for the past 10 months now.
*This is deep in the weeds, but the area dx referenced west of 65 isn't bad by any stretch. It's just all homes built in the '50-'70s with very old residents. They don't attract a lot of new blood because nobody wants to move into their grandmothers' house when they can get a newer, bigger house for about the same price a little farther out in Andover.
I'd suggest the antecedent here is the type of dirtbag that plays adult hockey.

Yeah it's interesting, among the better players you see more of this type of stuff especially at the Super Rink. Among the beginner types it's not as true, you see more for lack of better term hipster types and what not.
This part is just ridiculous lol. Were you the one who whined about dodging bullets on 394 or was that someone else?

VA House will get 50-50 thanks to a 1-vote margin win in one district.

We might get one more. There's a district where the R incumbent won by 80 votes and 150 ballots for a poor black neighborhood just happened to indicate the wrong district. When the state leg was R they were going to get to the line and run a play before a ruling, but now that it's 50/50 I dunno.

Most dangerous highways by State. Stay off I-80

I assume state highways are far more dangerous than interstates. More drunks and worse geometry.
Note that when you change tabs FL stays #1.

Re: The States. It's 10th Amendment or bust!
A non-interstate highway, like Hwy 2 through North Dakota, is dangerous because of the way it's designed. It looks and feels like an interstate highway, with multiple lanes going in each direction, but exits and entrances are not controlled with the ramp system like with interstates. Traffic will be firing along at 70 and some guy in a giant John Deere tractor towing a wagon of hay will suddenly pull out onto the highway from a stop sign.
I've driven most of I-80 in this country. What makes it so incredibly dangerous is, a) there is a lot of traffic, and b) there is an incredible amount of truck traffic. The speed limits are also pretty high once you get west of Omaha.

So they invalidated or ballot in Va so back to a tie, and now a coin toss will decide the seat.
Invalidating one ballot sounds awfully weird

They didn't throw one out, they counted one more that had been previously thrown out. The questionable ballot had both bubbles marked, but a line was drawn through the Dem candidate's bubble. The ballot voted Republican in every other race. The elections board didn't count it, but the judges apparently decided it should count.
The best part is there could be yet another recount after lots are drawn.
