If it takes a really really long time, would it be an epoch line?!

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

from Blue Revolution:

Quote

"The originalist requested the other originalist swear her in. If they held to originalist interpretations, she would not be allowed to be a justice, he would only be worth 3/5 of a person, and his marriage would be completely invalid.

Just remember this picture: The worst president in history watching this witless moron who replaced Thurgood Marshall,  swearing in the ultra conservative neophyte who replaced Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Two sexual predators and a handmaiden. All three are illegitimate."
Clarence Thomas is vilified for being black.
No he wasn't.
Quote
Amy Coney Barrett is vilified for being a Catholic Woman.
No she wasn't.
Quote
Therefore both are ‘ illegitimate”?
Your premises are both erroneous and therefore your conclusion is invalid.
May want to figure out how to read so you can get your “premises “in order
I reads good. I type for shit.

Why not?

Federal tax issues, for one.  The PR economy is already a mess.  Cash in pocket would decrease and businesses would leave.

And the US doesnt want it.

You need to stop hanging out with Ward. He's rubbing off on you.

Why would statehood cause businesses to leave? What's the basis for that opinion.

And "the US doesn't want it" is not true now and has not been, consistently since 1962:

Now, now. The only things Ward rubs off on are his well worn Reagan poster and his soiled copy of The Fountainhead.

 Which is only written in sand, kid, as you know.

So, in other words, you have no real reasons.

More on the abandonment and hospitalization of Trump supporters in Nebraska

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/10/28/omaha-trump-rally-thousands-attendees-stranded-cold-after-event/3760175001/

I saw that.  A lot of Trump fans are not walkers, that's pretty clear.  Both my children live in Lincoln, Nebraska.  (and Lincoln is having some mixed feelings right now, as Wisconsin cancelled their game with the Huskers in Lincoln, due to the covid outbreak) (and what a weird opening game they had with Ohio State, in a stadium with a capacity of 105,000, with only a little over a thousand people plus a few thousand cardboard cutouts in attendance)
