I wholeheartedly agree. But this gal came across as super whackadoodle...and she has backing now to run for Legislature? Crazy.

@teachercdare you over or under this threshold? https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/01/26/spending-stimulus-checks/

Agreed.

The construction phase (in this case 2 years) certainly does create that many. But, as pointed out elsewhere, they are "temporary" jobs, and once operational the pipeline would only keep a fraction of those numbers employed. https://factcheck.afp.com/posts-inflate-job-losses-bidens-keystone-pipeline-reversal

Lincoln came in #2 all time for snow in 24 hours I believe. And, their public transit shut down for the first time since 1974.

Hope you are correct

??? I am about full up with news like this, and somehow being told that "everything is okay, just have to be patient and trust the process"

Holy sh*t some of you just like to f*cking argue You are basically both saying the same thing. One has A/B and the other has B/A. Maybe acknowledge that both ideas have merit, change is definitely needed, and say "why not BOTH?" (rant/off)

Notice that I said "they feel" they are. I have professed no favorable views of the organizations themselves.

It may not be exactly apples to apples. Would your outlook be the same if Michigan groups did not have high profile protests against masks and shutdowns this year?...and of course the insurrection at the Capitol is making views extra unfavorable right now, as it should. I don't think a large percentage of the folks that have been arrested are known militia members, but no solid source for that. I think that most people associated feel they are patriots. They want limited government interference, they protect their right to bear arms, and take the Constitution as a literal guide for governing.

The original post said Hawley praised and/or defended McVeigh. He didn't. As for the outlook of people associated with militia groups, that is like saying "they" all want socialism and free stuff when talking generally about Democrats.

Exactly what I was trying to say. Thanks for the update.

Which is why I said you were being disingenuous.

Exactly. And yet, your post (in super serious large red font) said: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ GOP Sen. Josh Hawley wrote a column in defense of the Oklahoma City bomber when he was 15 The Kansas City Star reported that following the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Hawley wrote a column for his hometown paper, The Lexington News, in which he warned against calling anti-government militia members domestic terrorists. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols - the men who carried out the bombing that killed 169 people - had ties with the Michigan Militia, an anti-government group dating back to the 1990s. "Many of the people populating these movements are not radical, right-wing, pro-assault weapons freaks https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/gop-sen-josh-hawley-wrote-a-column-in-defense-of-the-oklahoma-city-bomber-when-he-was-15/ar-BB1d51nG?ocid=st

It is exactly what he said.

Yes, he is....Because they are NOT LIKE McVeigh. Not everyone that believes in limited government and the Constitution want to bomb a Federal building...or storm the Capital.

Me too. I think that literally anyone other than Hillary would have seen close to the same results as what we got with Biden.

Welp, I thought we had gotten somewhere. Guess not. He didn't paint some militias in a favorable light. He pointed out that some people involved were not like McVeigh. Why are you continuing to beat on this?

It was all new and unknown in March and April. Agreed.
