The problem with hugely built up urban area's is that they rarely consider the consequences of wealth concentration in a small geographic area. The cost of living is almost entirely determined by how much wealth is accumulated in an area, home prices skyrocket because there is a high demand for living space. This forces people to live further and further away into a soul sucking commute. Because the poor can't move, the area must subsidize their insane cost of living and that results in higher taxation on the middle class. Basically you get a shitty situation where it's not pleasant to live.
I've lived in high rise apartments in the middle of metropolises that make big US cities seem small and country. Cities are great to visit, lots of stuff to do on the weekends, and absolutely shitty to live in day to day.

Notice it's the same Rural vs Urban split we've seen before.

Fone, drink enough to build a time machine or become a necromancer, either works. Lets get or raise Senator Joseph McCarthy to fight this Commie Skynet project. That SOB could find you some Commies, I'll tell you what.

Oh it's too late, the home I'm buying is right along this road where they've built half a dozen data centers and are building more. I work in IT and this is where the jobs are, it's good pay but I would prefer to live further out.

The US is definitely a better country without Jeff Sessions as its AG, he can take his prehistoric notions back to Greenbo.

Or is it Greenbough? I don't know.

And both will make Trump's life a living hell. On top of that, a few days back a federal judge ruled that the emoluments clause suits against Trump by the state AG of New York and the AG for D.C can go forward. These suits stem from various real estate deals and certain hotel stays by foreign diplomats in Trump's resorts/ hotels, and whether or not those stays violated the emoluments clause. You've done it now CJ you are the new Donny. Collect your year supply of maple syrup and Mt. Dew. That sounds like a HORRID combination.

Not after his nearly eight year long Benghazi disaster. Neither will Lindsey Graham, as the GOP doesn't have the votes to ram his confirmation as the next AG through either. That's the problem with having the barest majority.
Why on Earth would Trump pick Graham?

Obviously its not going to be a sitting Senator.

Because Graham has been on his knees in front of Trump's zipper from the moment the election was over. Graham said he won't not take the nomination. He said it last night in a News Interview.

Im sure the thought crossed Trumps mind tho. No doubt he will find another old white guy.

You've been saying that for two years.

Oh hey, Trump just attacked a whole bunch of reporters, putting a target on their backs. I wonder if he is ever going to realize the danger he puts Americans in when he calls them an enemy of the people? Good thing he didnt call them nazis
By fonewear 2018-11-07 16:26:27
CNN is the enemy of the country though.

Libs doing their best to ahowcase they still don’t live on planet earth.
Trump’s senate gains are proof he’s extremely popular and he single handedly was capable of disarming any lind of “blue wave”. Now he’s got a scapegoat of deranged liberals in the house he can hold accountable for obstruction (instead of a bunch of rinos he secretly needs). Dems will spend the next 2 years chimping out over stupid ***like “muh tax returns”, and “muh russian collusion”, and he will annihilate them easily in 2020. Meanwhile get ready for him to stack the federal judiciary with patriots and and achieve a 7/2 sjc.
