Politics Former Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich says he's now for impeaching Trump

I was in south Texas, south of SA. It was pretty bad down there. You could probably fill a lawn bag in 100 feet.

 

i was in dallas and houston. must be different further south. im always amazed at the trash in oregon. for such a state that takes pride in its beauty, it sure can be ugly.

 

I drove I-80 through one end of Wyoming to the other at the end of March. To be honest, I was punching through so much snow (and fixated on the tail lights of the semis in front of me.....great snow plows by the way) that the physical conditions of the road weren’t even on my mind. But I don’t remember my car being pummeled too badly (other than by the constant...and ungodly...wind). But trust me, cross the Mississippi and it feels like you’ve gone off road. Not sure why that is, but it’s no exaggeration. And I found that the highways in most “non western” states to be much trashier than Oregon’s.......but they all could be far cleaner than they are.

 

I think it's because the Midwest and much of the east coast sits above underground lakes and rivers...causes tons of sinkholes and it's why you can grow corn without watering in Iowa....underground melted glaciers from the Ice Age....it's also below sea level there and subjected to tornados and heavier storms than we have out west..a giant flood plain...big hail stones...also lots of farm machinery driving on the roads that eats up the asphalt...and they salt pretty heavily all winter as well...makes me love Oregon just thinking about it

 

For fucks sake, can the GOP minions crying about this impeachment inquiry being closed door read the freaking constitution once? This isn't a trial, morons-- this is an investigation, and what's known as a grand jury. That happens in the senate and this POS POTUS will get all the time he wants to try to defend himself there *during the ACTUAL trial*.

How the hell do I (whose only knowledge of this stuff comes from a high school AP US History class) understand this, but elected officials with law degrees don't? Debar all these fools.

 

Yeah, that’s kind of the shitty, windy part of Wyoming down there. Wind makes everything so much worse, it’ll blow you right off the road if it’s slick enough. As bad as the winters get I’m still glad they don’t salt the roads here. Go to Minnesota and you’ll see nearly brand new vehicles with rust holes in them already.

 

Are you implying that is bigoted? I don't see it.

 

If you can't see our presidents bigotry, that's not on me.

Yeah, by the time I got through upper Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, my white car was beige from all the salt slush. I called it my “Midwest tan”......the very first thing I did when I got near home was to run the car through a car wash that also did the undercarriage. That said, salted roads were much easier to drive on than those that weren’t. What an awful choice......

 

What does that have to do with the Tweet you referenced? That is definitely on you.

 

Just providing a list of additional occurrences of past bigotry from the person that tweeted the original bigoted tweet I referenced.

 

what is bigoted about the tweet you posted?

 

Comparing a constitutional process to the murders of African-American's. He might as well say his presidency is like slavery.

Agree to disagree, that's fine. Maybe my definition of bigoted is incorrect. Either way, the shit this guy says is just abhorrent.

 

So it’s the word “lynching”? I’m assuming you know white people have been lynched?

 

Luckily no Democrats made that comparison when Bill Clinton was being impeached.

 

Where the heck is this place?

 

Ugh. “Yeah but we were lynched too”. Great argument. 75% of lynchings were black people. And they make up what % Of the population? And of course some of the white people were lynched because they helped....black people. Trying to defend Trumps offensiveness has to be exhausting.

 

I'm aware that it was primarily an action upon African-Americans during a time of serious racism. Again, I'm fine with an agree to disagree situation here.

 

Louisiana and I read Death Valley is as well..there are many places that are close but the point is with underground lakes and low altitude flood plains damage roads, tracks, have regular sinkholes, etc
