I know this will seem contentious, but really it is just frustration, that wall will never be built. Even if Trump is elected, it won't be built.

My post on Wake not being liberal does come from living there for more than 20 years. As it stands Raleigh has been growing at an astounding rate and many that move here are more educated and from more liberal states.
I followed the politics of the area for about 15 years and then kind of lost interest.

You'll have to excuse him. He went to a place of higher learning where everyone majors in animal husbandry because they're too dumb to pass any other courses.

No, that wasn't a dig at you. In the first sentence I said both parties do it. The only reason I worded it like I did was because it was posted in the Donald Trump thread.

Wake County Primary Results from 2016
Democratic Primary
Hillary Clinton 77,927
Bernie Sanders 65,380
Republican Primary
Donald Trump 35, 174
Ted Cruz 48,462
John Kasich 21,622
Marco Rubio 12, 343
I would say Wake County does lean Democratic according to last primary by about 10-20 thousand votes.

Gerrymandering is done by both parties. Some states are highly restricted by the Voting Rights act.
If you don't think the democrats do it, here is a map for the stupidest person ever elected to congress. The one that asked if the Mars robers would be able to see the footprints from the Apollo astronauts. The representative from "Space City". Sheila Jackson Lee. The one that shows up 12 hours early to get a front row seat for the State of the Union. Queen Weave.

What the fuck is he talking about? Think Brexit? The man is losing his mind.

Trump can't have it both ways. He can't talk about the loss of jobs to foreign countries and then buy steel from China. He can't talk about the evils of illegal aliens and then hire them to do work.

How do we know she is leftist? Obviously, she is an idiot (don't go there). South Africa isn't Berkeley.

Let's not forget the medieval Christian church in ~1000 CE, started to grow, significantly plus the crusades. And the Mongols pressed almost to Egypt and during that time Bagdad was sacked and the greatest library of the time was burned. Lots of destabilizing factors helped to turn a science minded culture into current ideologies.

Here is my problem man, Science has been politicized but you have not. I get it, when information contradicts our belief systems, in general, we dig our heels in, I get it.

Yep, the KoolAid drinkers are lapping it up. Even Art Bell is all in on the conspiracy theories. I'm really disappointed in what's happened to him since his retirement. He's gone from objective Libertarian to paranoid fringe alt-right. His show used to be a welcome relief from the crazy OTT wingnuts, but it looks like now he's joined ranks with Noory and Jones. Sad.

NYT calls Trump's bluff, dares him to sue.
"we welcome the opportunity to have a court set him straight"
