Guessing DoD has now added UGA to the list of no-go universities for military officers to pursue graduate education.

I was in a study group with then FL state senator Katherine Harris in grad school and let’s say the ‘00 election in FL definitely tracks.

Farmers are not a monolith. Really depends on what they grow/raise, the size of the operations, and in what part of the country.

Of course. But a lot of what determines if a farm family is rich depends on what they raise, grow, etc as well as the size of their operations. One of my farm uncles was the head of the county Dems. Yes, many rich ones receiving a ton of subsidies vote MAGA, but precinct level data is > nuanced.

The cherry-growing families I know from childhood and now as an adult who spends part of her summer near the self-proclaimed Cherry Capital of the States - one spouse works outside the home and other tends bar or similar jobs in winter as the summer proceeds no longer provide a year-round income.

Who voted for it all?

Guessing if you were aware, then you might not have posted “none of this makes sense.” When US food manufacturers opt to buy cherries from Turkey, the US market, at least in west Michigan, struggles to remain in business. One farm burned all their trees. Some sell to developers, hence, “bulldozing.”

DK about economics of WA cherry orchards but not what I’ve seen in MI.

The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics

How the Roberts Court destroyed our Democracy

"Five presidential elections ago, before the Supreme Court’s 2010 ruling that lifted many remaining campaign finance restrictions, the share of billionaire spending was almost zero — 0.3 percent, to be precise."

My hunch is that you’ve never owned an orchard or lived in a community where they may be the main crop, especially over the last 25 years.

If he quacks like MAGA and caucuses with MAGA, he is a MAGA. I, MAGA.

Heck, we should stop obfuscating and simply use MAGA.

If he quacks like a MAGA and caucuses with a MAGA, then he is a MAGA regardless of one procedural vote.

Once a MAGA, always a MAGA.

I learned about @macfarlanenews.bsky.social in the aftermath of J6. Such a great reporter. Huge loss for CBS News even if the new guard fails to grasp that.

Yes, possibly his constituents will recognize he is still sporting the same stripes.

Especially as this “irregular travel” may have been due to Trump’s war.

A MAGA running as an independent is still a MAGA.

I’ve been searching for a tagline here and your “Draft Kings for Sociopaths” nails it.

Given that the MO gov/legislature have passed some truly cruel and horrendous policies over the last decade, curious why this and now?
