Are the people in North Dakota special because they live in a $hitty sparsely-populated backwater?

That horse you're on is awful high. A lot of good people up there, with values that are far different than those on the coasts.
 
What I've never understood is why the cities with the worst crime rates continue to vote in Democratic leadership. Hell, Minnesota is the only state that voted for Mondale. It's not like the problems up there began with George Floyd.

I didn't say they weren't good people, but that doesn't mean their opinions should mean more than someone who lives in a different area of the country.

Minneapolis and Houston have about the same crime rates so I don't really understand this argument. Obviously, any place with high population density is going to have a higher crime rate than an area where nobody lives.

Have you ever been to North Dakota, or is this your typical "talk **** about things you're clueless about" act?

That would be solid logic if you said "crime total" instead of "crime rate."

Yeah you’re correct. I just looked it up and, oddly enough, Alaska has the highest crime rate of any state in America. Who knew?
 
Trump's tax returns are now in the public sphere and the results are devastating for him, which is why he has refused to release them of course. Here's what we know:
1. He's a terrible businessman. Nearly every business he has is hemorrhaging cash.
2. He has $421 million in debt outstanding which is all due 2022-2024. That's $421,000,000!!!
3. He paid zero in income taxes in 10 of the 15 years in question and in 2 of the years. 2016 and 2017 he paid $750 total in income taxes. This is strong indications of criminal tax evasion.
4. He paid his kids "consulting fees" and then deducted the amounts as business expenses.

All of this is not a surprise of course, but it's nice to have confirmation.
 
I heard Michael Cohen interviewed last night. He expects Trump and his cronies to be arrested the second Trump is no longer president.

This facade that he is some brilliant businessman is now tumbling down. It was really his only selling point. This is going to kill him with independents.

Lol whatever. Did I say one word about the people there? No, I did not, but keep making idiotic assumptions.

I think any reasonable person would take this as an insult to the people living in that "****ty" state

1. you are contradicting yourself. YOu can't get upset about him not paying income taxes for so many years and then make fun of him for being a terrible businessman. Those things go together.

2. Good business men make it look like they lose money. Yet somehow, they are still on top

3. Reports are that this article from the NYT or whomever released it is full of errors

4. HOw did the NYT get this info?

5. This is worthless info. Who cares? Is it going to make people stop voting for trump? This is no different than Obama's birther stuff. Has biden released his tax returns? Did Obama, did HRC?

This is just the next ploy to try and impeach Trump.

Its predictable and sad

Well it's not. Living in a $hitty backwater doesn't make you a bad person

lol OK

Go use that same phrase anywhere in the country and see what happens. I'm sure people will understand you are just insulting the land and not the way of life or people that life there.

Ridiculous man.
