Different dynamics this time around, throw out the script. Trump is seen by most of his supporters as having at least attempted to fulfill his campaign pledges. Most of his supporters see the writing on the wall, they aren't stupid, they read the news, they know about censorship encroaching on free speech, they know the left wants to seize their guns & create a socialist state in the US in the mold of Canada, where diversity of opinion isn't tolerated. They saw the shitshow in Germany, which led to the moslem invasion of Europe. They've seen the IRS, the FBI, the DOJ and other institutions corrupted to a level never before seen in the history of the country. Trump's voters will be out in full force. He may have even gained some new ones. They know a future generation of potential tyrants that were brought up in the propaganda of the education system will be coming of age and voting, and understand time is not on the side of freedom as western countries become more Orwellian in their behavior.
Republicans that support Trump and are on board with his agenda stand a strong chance in these elections. Those that don't and are not, Trump's voters will stay home and not bother with. It's all about their allegiance with Trump's agenda.
You sure about that Clark?
[I'm don't believe for a second that even you believe that.]
Generally speaking,
On the spectrum between book smarts and street smarts, Trump & his voters are in the street smarts category. Trump is not an intellectual, but he's a genius of a different sort, and knows how to get things done, you're seeing it every day. While Obama sucked the bully's dick, Trump kicked the bully in the balls, called his bluff and is now receiving the blow job. He solves problems quickly with basic street smarts that book smart clowns like BearsWiin are unable to solve over an entire (alleged) career in government.
Underestimating Trump or his voters is stupid, and originates from the false sense of superiority the left has insulated itself in. Seeing themselves as philopher kings (Obama was a prime example of this extreme hubris), they think they know better than the rest of us, and so think they have the right to force their world view on those who don't share it because "it's their right to." It's not. They have no fucking right to decide what kind of speech is appropriate and what kind of speech should be outlawed. They have no right to open the borders of a sovereign country and flood it with a foreign horde against the will of the natives.
Trump is a beautiful bomb delivered by the American people when the hour is late, designed to eviscerate the abominable experiment in totalitarianism that the western left has created. He says and does things that would get him dragged in front of a 'hate speech' tribunal in countries like Canada. He would be fined and thrown in jail if he were an ordinary Canadian citizen. And he needs more tim to destroy the machinery.
The man who thinks himself wise is a fool. The man who knows he's a fool is wise.

I don't disagree with much of that, and admire, a little, your passion. But I ask you to consider a few things:
- It is not the exclusive province of the left to look down upon the lower socio-economic class and decide they know better.
- Punitively pushing an an ideological agenda isn't a new thing here. There was no more harsh a witch hunter this side of Salem, Mass than Joe McCarthy, and we're all still here free to be socialists if we want to be. The diversity of opinion is what keeps us honest and healthy. There is no more likelihood of totalitarianism today than there was then.
- One of Trump's advantages is that he's direct and impatient. I don't disagree. He's also willing to be a little ad hoc and reckless, which works sometimes. When it bites him in the ass, you'll have to recognize that part of his M/O as well. I recognize and appreciate his accomplishments thus far, but I'd be careful of running my victory lap too soon. The world is a complicated place and we're often dealing with amazingly duplicitous people. China, in particular, will double cross you and look you right in the eye as they're doing it. Let's see how this plays out over some period of time. I like that he took the fight to them. They've been stealing from us forever.
- Nobody is outlawing speech. As someone here pointed out, the social repercussions of your speech are, however, your own issue. You reap what you sow. Today, if you make bigoted public comments, you're going to be shunned by a lot of people. If that bothers you, I'm sorry - I've no empathy whatsoever. All these years later, I still dislike people who called me "spic" growing up, because fuck them.
- I don't underestimate Trump, at all. But I disagree with your conflation of him and the legions of people in his base. He's nothing like them. So many of them support him only because they feel like he gives them some legitimacy, and because they feel alienated from the intellectual elite on the left. I've seen this. Remember, I'm from Aberdeen. I've read social media posts by kids I know barely graduated from HS and can barely tie their shoes who are proud to mock "snowflake liberals". They don't know why, and they're not at all aware of issues or complexity or anything. It's just culture and they want to be assholes. Which leads me to my next point.
- A lot of what we're dealing with in our country right now is not Trump himself, but rather an issue that traces itself back to culture, and relates in my humble view to the fact that after 2.4 centuries, we finally elected a guy - ONE FUCKING GUY - who comes from the 15% dark chunck of the population, and it bothered a lot of people. I'm related to a bunch of them, so I know this. One single guy in 240 years, and we've been in a cultural shit storm since, and it ain't because he's liberal. We've had liberals before. There is no credibly denying this. Imagine how you'd view that if you were black. Now you have a bunch of lower middle class to lower class white people freaking the fuck out about shit left and right, including immigration, as if we were headed toward armageddon because they were feeling culturally marginalized. It's like discussing the problem of rape, and taking over the conversation by insisting we focus on the problem of men being raped too. It's a disingenuous attempt to shift focus. I agree with Race: if everything is race, then nothing is. But then, sometimes, it is.
So, with all that said Tequilla style, I come to this: I don't disagree with much of your general policy concerns, but I take some issue with what you think some of the "problems" are, and I think you're being somewhat chicken little with where you think we are/were going. The country does well with balance. We're fine. We were fine with Obama, and we're fine under Trump.

Now you have a bunch of lower middle class to lower class white people freaking the fuck out about shit left and right, including immigration, as if we were headed toward armageddon because they were feeling culturally marginalized. It's like discussing the problem of rape, and taking over the conversation by insisting we focus on the problem of men being raped too. It's a disingenuous attempt to shift focus. I agree with Race: if everything is race, then nothing is. But then, sometimes, it is.
So, with all that said Tequilla style, I come to this: I don't disagree with much of your general policy concerns, but I take some issue with what you think some of the "problems" are, and I think you're being somewhat chicken little with where you think we are/were going. The country does well with balance. We're fine. We were fine with Obama, and we're fine under Trump.
This is a great read. One of the best you’ll find on the internet today.
Great read, for, you know, a s—-
You grew up in Aberdeen with the creep! Small world. You’ll have lots to talk about.
Evergreen League tuff!
Still the Black Hills League to me bitches!
I see where you're coming from and I see what it might look like from another angle. The guy was half black, so when people criticize him, and when those who criticize him are white, understandably they might interpret that as bigotry or racism. It's an unfortunate coincidence that one of the primary players in the international NWO & supporter of all the authoritarian shit I outlined, also happened to be the first person of color to be a US president. Me personally, I don't give a shit about his skin color. And because I'm confident my arguments don't come from a place of racial bigotry, I don't hold back when verbally assaulting him.
Different dynamics this time around, throw out the script. Trump is seen by most of his supporters as having at least attempted to fulfill his campaign pledges. Most of his supporters see the writing on the wall, they aren't stupid, they read the news, they know about censorship encroaching on free speech, they know the left wants to seize their guns & create a socialist state in the US in the mold of Canada, where diversity of opinion isn't tolerated. They saw the shitshow in Germany, which led to the moslem invasion of Europe. They've seen the IRS, the FBI, the DOJ and other institutions corrupted to a level never before seen in the history of the country. Trump's voters will be out in full force. He may have even gained some new ones. They know a future generation of potential tyrants that were brought up in the propaganda of the education system will be coming of age and voting, and understand time is not on the side of freedom as western countries become more Orwellian in their behavior.
Republicans that support Trump and are on board with his agenda stand a strong chance in these elections. Those that don't and are not, Trump's voters will stay home and not bother with. It's all about their allegiance with Trump's agenda.
You sure about that Clark?
[I'm don't believe for a second that even you believe that.]
Generally speaking,
On the spectrum between book smarts and street smarts, Trump & his voters are in the street smarts category. Trump is not an intellectual, but he's a genius of a different sort, and knows how to get things done, you're seeing it every day. While Obama sucked the bully's dick, Trump kicked the bully in the balls, called his bluff and is now receiving the blow job. He solves problems quickly with basic street smarts that book smart clowns like BearsWiin are unable to solve over an entire (alleged) career in government.
Underestimating Trump or his voters is stupid, and originates from the false sense of superiority the left has insulated itself in. Seeing themselves as philopher kings (Obama was a prime example of this extreme hubris), they think they know better than the rest of us, and so think they have the right to force their world view on those who don't share it because "it's their right to." It's not. They have no fucking right to decide what kind of speech is appropriate and what kind of speech should be outlawed. They have no right to open the borders of a sovereign country and flood it with a foreign horde against the will of the natives.
Trump is a beautiful bomb delivered by the American people when the hour is late, designed to eviscerate the abominable experiment in totalitarianism that the western left has created. He says and does things that would get him dragged in front of a 'hate speech' tribunal in countries like Canada. He would be fined and thrown in jail if he were an ordinary Canadian citizen. And he needs more tim to destroy the machinery.
The man who thinks himself wise is a fool. The man who knows he's a fool is wise.

I don't disagree with much of that, and admire, a little, your passion. But I ask you to consider a few things:
- It is not the exclusive province of the left to look down upon the lower socio-economic class and decide they know better.
- Punitively pushing an an ideological agenda isn't a new thing here. There was no more harsh a witch hunter this side of Salem, Mass than Joe McCarthy, and we're all still here free to be socialists if we want to be. The diversity of opinion is what keeps us honest and healthy. There is no more likelihood of totalitarianism today than there was then.
- One of Trump's advantages is that he's direct and impatient. I don't disagree. He's also willing to be a little ad hoc and reckless, which works sometimes. When it bites him in the ass, you'll have to recognize that part of his M/O as well. I recognize and appreciate his accomplishments thus far, but I'd be careful of running my victory lap too soon. The world is a complicated place and we're often dealing with amazingly duplicitous people. China, in particular, will double cross you and look you right in the eye as they're doing it. Let's see how this plays out over some period of time. I like that he took the fight to them. They've been stealing from us forever.
- Nobody is outlawing speech. As someone here pointed out, the social repercussions of your speech are, however, your own issue. You reap what you sow. Today, if you make bigoted public comments, you're going to be shunned by a lot of people. If that bothers you, I'm sorry - I've no empathy whatsoever. All these years later, I still dislike people who called me "spic" growing up, because fuck them.
- I don't underestimate Trump, at all. But I disagree with your conflation of him and the legions of people in his base. He's nothing like them. So many of them support him only because they feel like he gives them some legitimacy, and because they feel alienated from the intellectual elite on the left. I've seen this. Remember, I'm from Aberdeen. I've read social media posts by kids I know barely graduated from HS and can barely tie their shoes who are proud to mock "snowflake liberals". They don't know why, and they're not at all aware of issues or complexity or anything. It's just culture and they want to be assholes. Which leads me to my next point.
- A lot of what we're dealing with in our country right now is not Trump himself, but rather an issue that traces itself back to culture, and relates in my humble view to the fact that after 2.4 centuries, we finally elected a guy - ONE FUCKING GUY - who comes from the 15% dark chunck of the population, and it bothered a lot of people. I'm related to a bunch of them, so I know this. One single guy in 240 years, and we've been in a cultural shit storm since, and it ain't because he's liberal. We've had liberals before. There is no credibly denying this. Imagine how you'd view that if you were black.

No question he's a globalist, and globalism vs. nationalism is a discussion for another thread.
And I don't doubt your sincerity about the fact that Obama is (mostly) black not factoring into your views, and I also don't tend to favor or rely on the "you're really racist subconsciously" arguments ... I think for the most part people care or they don't, and for the most part they know one way or the other. My only real contention is that part of my poast is that a decent % of the red hat loving MAGA crowd do care, whether they admit it or not, and in the process of dropping this bomb, we've churned up from the bottom some fringe with which even Bannon doesn't like to associate. Better to leave the heavy metals and other toxic pollutants settled deep in the muck on the bottom of the river. But we've stirred it up in the name of dredging, and now we have to deal with it ... again.
And one of the unfortunate repercussions of that effect is this predictably hard swing to the left we see now. We always tend to do that ... overreact to things we find troubling. Like the guns business. Complete and utter panic.
Are you emphasizing that Hillary's lawyer didn't get raided? Who's side are you on?
That's actually a fair question. I'm not privy to the details of what Jack or Jill are learning in this investigation, and of course nobody with nothing better to do than poast here is either. So with that in mind I'm entirely agnostic about the whole thing, as I was with Hillary, who, again, is not my first choice of people with whom I'd like to hang out.
All I know is that after a bazillion years of investigation and interrogating and $$ spent, Gowdy didn't deliver me a corpse. She was stupid af with the server business ... that's all I know. Call her negligent. Grossly negligent. If it was criminal negligence, then I guess she should be in jail. She's not. Benghazi was a circus and is the battle cry of the stupid. She may not be my first choice to deal with the next shit sandwich in the Middle East, but jail time would've been ridiculous for that one.
Here, same thing. I have no clue what they guy is looking for really, or what he's found. If a bunch of R's gave the ok to hit T's lawyer's office unannounced out of concern he would destroy evidence, I'll reserve judgment until I hear chirping, at which point I'll question the integrity of everyone involved. At some point, this (Mueller) is like the Trey Gowdy show: do something, or move on. It's been long enough.
But @Gawd's question is a fair one: are Trump's HCH groupies upset that his attorney's office was raided? Or upset that Hillary's wasn't? Is it the raiding that isn't ok with you? Or the lack of it last time around?
I honestly don't have a dog in this fight. I don't have these days the time it takes to track this thing with any degree of rigor. Fuck, HCH is arguably my primary news source, so it's up to you degenerates. Don't let me down.

Hmmm....
Well, do you expect me to give up my HCH free time? Not on your fucking life.
Behave yourself. We've been doing so well. Homie.
It just seems you've devoted an immense amount of time to this as evidenced by the @tequilla esque diatribes on the subject. I'm down with most of your takes. But I would figure someone in your profession should be able to see through what is really goin down here. Mueller has been reduced to shaking down Trump's attorney to try to see if:
A- He paid a hooker $130,000 grand to close her 3 hole and
B- Looking for something else in the Access Hollywood interview of 13 years ago.
Like 'ol Rummy back in the day, It appears Mueller's run out of hard targets and is reduced to trying to shake down folks to get testimonies. Which is a sign you don't have anything to indict on. Comey, Mueller and the whole team have been and are still in the bag for the 'Rats. If they weren't they would have either produced indictments by now or closed down their camp. At this point Mueller is @KenStarrdawg. Nothing more nothing less.

All I know is that after a bazillion years of investigation and interrogating and $$ spent, Gowdy didn't deliver me a corpse. She was stupid af with the server business ... that's all I know. Call her negligent. Grossly negligent. If it was criminal negligence, then I guess she should be in jail. She's not. Benghazi was a circus and is the battle cry of the stupid. She may not be my first choice to deal with the next shit sandwich in the Middle East, but jail time would've been ridiculous for that one.
Here, same thing. I have no clue what they guy is looking for really, or what he's found. If a bunch of R's gave the ok to hit T's lawyer's office unannounced out of concern he would destroy evidence, I'll reserve judgment until I hear chirping, at which point I'll question the integrity of everyone involved. At some point, this (Mueller) is like the Trey Gowdy show: do something, or move on. It's been long enough.
But @Gawd's question is a fair one: are Trump's HCH groupies upset that his attorney's office was raided? Or upset that Hillary's wasn't? Is it the raiding that isn't ok with you? Or the lack of it last time around?
I honestly don't have a dog in this fight. I don't have these days the time it takes to track this thing with any degree of rigor. Fuck, HCH is arguably my primary news source, so it's up to you degenerates. Don't let me down.
Hmmm....
Well, do you expect me to give up my HCH free time? Not on your fucking life.
Behave yourself. We've been doing so well. Homie.
It just seems you've devoted an immense amount of time to this as evidenced by the @tequilla esque diatribes on the subject. I'm down with most of your takes. But I would figure someone in your profession should be able to see through what is really goin down here. Mueller has been reduced to shaking down Trump's attorney to try to see if:
A- He paid a hooker $130,000 grand to close her 3 hole and
B- Looking for something else in the Access Hollywood interview of 13 years ago.
Like 'ol Rummy back in the day, It appears Mueller's run out of hard targets and is reduced to trying to shake down folks to get testimonies. Which is a sign you don't have anything to indict on. Comey, Mueller and the whole team have been and are still in the bag for the 'Rats. If they weren't they would have either produced indictments by now or closed down their camp. At this point Mueller is @KenStarrdawg. Nothing more nothing less.
We're still homies then.
I don't dispute your Mueller/Comey take, but I also don't want to commit myself to it, so that, either way, I'll be chintresting.
If there is only one thing that being a pretend lawyer does to you after a while, for the better and for the worse, it's that you tend to focus on what you don't know. Seriously. People in my pretend profession care more about, focus more energy on, and obsess over, shit that we don't know because that's the shit that gets you. For that reason, we / I tend to over-assume how much we don't know.
In this case, I'm not sure I'm over-assuming. I'm just not there, and it wouldn't be the first time a fumbling prosecutor pulled something out of his ass that nobody saw coming.
As @dflea has mentioned a few times, I can't get over how that warrant was obtained. If I'm in the Trump camp, I'm thinking about that a lot.
For the good of the country, I'd prefer it be resolved with a "nothing to see here" and soon. He's the president, there's no good that comes from him being impeached or his credibility otherwise being impugned. The people will speak again shortly, and we likely get to do this all over again. Until then, I'd prefer our government not look like the second world governments I grew up watching on TV - the ones where the guy's up there speaking and two or three dudes from the opposing party bum rush his ass and it goes free for all.
Are you emphasizing that Hillary's lawyer didn't get raided? Who's side are you on?

theres a lot i didn't read here but Aberdeen and Olympia were Southwest Washington league long before the Black Hills had us consorting with loser towns like Centralia
The SW had the Vancouver schools, the harbor, and Olympia

The rest were lower division
Hurts.
The SWW League, when Weatherwax was actually AAA (the largest division in HS sports in WA back then for you young bucks). We flipped to AA my freshman year, I think. I recall Hudson Bay, Ft. Vancouver, Columbia River, and a few others in that league that we stopped competing against once we went BHL.
In my time, and Race will hate this, the Capital Cewgs were the dominant player in BHL football. Oly had already had it runs before that, with a legendary coach on his way to retirement. A few years after the creep left high school, the Tumwater juggernaut established itself. You could feel that one coming during my day, but they didn't put it all together for another few years, then they were money.
Shout out to @dflea , no matter their record, you always had to come to play the Shelton High Climbers. They were never an easy out for anyone; lots of TUFF loggers' kids. flea, do you remember Mark Lund? Fucking helluva an athulete. Great, big hairy monster who was also 400 meter state champ and could throw the javelin into the Pacific from Shelton - that type of dude. There was also a short, also hair, stocky dude who ;looked like he just walked over from his small engine repair class and did not look like he should be playing any kind of a sport, but could fucking fly - 100 meter guy. I'll think of his name in a minute.
Ah, the good old days. B4 I was such a bleeding heart liberal who follows NESCAC sports. Fuck.

And I don't doubt your sincerity about the fact that Obama is (mostly) black not factoring into your views, and I also don't tend to favor or rely on the "you're really racist subconsciously" arguments ... I think for the most part people care or they don't, and for the most part they know one way or the other. My only real contention is that part of my poast is that a decent % of the red hat loving MAGA crowd do care, whether they admit it or not, and in the process of dropping this bomb, we've churned up from the bottom some fringe with which even Bannon doesn't like to associate. Better to leave the heavy metals and other toxic pollutants settled deep in the muck on the bottom of the river. But we've stirred it up in the name of dredging, and now we have to deal with it ... again.
And one of the unfortunate repercussions of that effect is this predictably hard swing to the left we see now. We always tend to do that ... overreact to things we find troubling. Like the guns business. Complete and utter panic.

We got killed
All AAA
Capital made Oly go Black Hills as well and they did hit it hard. West Olympia is where the money is or was
