The border wall is morphing into a border fence (nmbl) - Brian Nov 13, 12:35 10
- there's a not-insignificant (there's that phrase again!) number of people who think they're getting jobs building the wall - Reagen Nov 13, 12:40 6

- Wow! How close to you was it? -- nm - Bacon Nov 13, 12:06 5
  - We are just outside Wellington, 5 miles. The epicenter was a few hundred miles away. - colin Nov 13, 12:08 4
    - Wow, rocking!! I was about 60 miles away from a 7.1 and that was bad. - Bacon Nov 13, 12:10 3
      - It was very deep, so instead of a jarring shake, it was more of the ground rolling. I was outside and almost hopped in the air by it. -- nm - colin Nov 13, 12:12 2
        
        Glad you are safe. That is crazy. How long did it last, estimate? Over a minute right? -- nm - Bacon Nov 13, 12:31 1
        
        Yeah, it was over a minute. Time for us to go downstairs, get outside. -- nm - colin Nov 13, 12:46

Bah, this should have been a response to Bacon's post below on racism. -- nm - Inigo Nov 13, 11:39
It's obvious, but some people don't want to see it, or can't see it. - Inigo Nov 13, 11:38 9
- they are angry at the capitol for not doing anything for the last 8 years and so they elected more of the do nothings and an asshole to lead them, - z Nov 13, 12:35

We're aa the "we voted Trump because you called us all racist and BTW Trump is not racist" revisionist period I see -- (edited) - ty97 Nov 13, 11:00 17

  - This. No one who voted for his policies are going to get just his policies. They get his racist, misogynist, zenphobe attitudes, too. - TWuG Nov 13, 11:15
  - Exactly. -- nm - Diva Nov 13, 11:08

      - I spare a thought for the conservative-leaning STers, because morally right now it's clear-cut for the liberal side. - Roger More Nov 13, 11:25 1

Cutler be Cutlering again..fumble in red zone -- nm - budice Nov 13, 10:58
Redmon, the brush is being applied much more narrowly than you're interpreting. -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 10:58 31
- It might be. It could have been interpreted by DP3 like I read it. I am just saying - Bacon Nov 13, 11:01 29
  - Application and interpretation are two different things. -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 11:13
  - I think we have been very measured and precise in our wording. -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 11:06 27
    - Well - Bacon Nov 13, 11:08 26
      - DP3 had two options - 1. focus on the issue of substance, which is "given the way Trump ran his campaign and explicitly reached out to the racist and - Roger More Nov 13, 11:16 1

        There are many, but I will say his most terrifying feature is his Thin Skin. - Bacon Nov 13, 11:54
        
        Holy shit yes. It's hilarious how badly conservatives need their safe spaces -- nm - ty97 Nov 13, 11:15 1

        Yep, they claim the logic angle and poo poo the feelings issue. - Bacon Nov 13, 11:15 17
        
        dp3 is to my understanding a "classic" Reagan/HW Bush conservative. -- (edited) - Reagen Nov 13, 11:18 16
        
        Something came to my mind and thanks for the clarification. So DP3 was me 8+ years ago. - Bacon Nov 13, 11:25 15

        No, but if you had a faction of Gay Mexicans that were using that as their basis to commit acts of violence. - Bacon Nov 13, 11:42
        
        By and large Muslim organizations *do* denounce radicals and extremists to say nothing of terrorists. - Reagen Nov 13, 11:34 5
        
        I agree. Where the issue was though. The asking that they do it by others outside the community was viewed as horrible that you would ask them to -- (edited) - Bacon Nov 13, 11:44 4
        
        where to draw the line is tricky. But when they have and are met with "why aren't you denouncing this?!" it's beyond aggravating. -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 11:50
        
        Part of the reason that it's horrible is that it assumes Muslim leaders aren't already doing this -- nm - Roger More Nov 13, 11:47 2
        
        My point is a little dated, because now it's very common. - Bacon Nov 13, 11:50 1
        
        I think there's always some equivocation when someone on your "side" does something bad, because even if you don't agree with what that person does, - Roger More Nov 13, 11:57

        I agree about self interest. For sure. - Bacon Nov 13, 11:33
        
        So it's hypocritical to go after one group to deal with the deplorables in their midst, but give another group a pass? Hmmm... - znufrii Nov 13, 11:29 4
        
        I am not saying it's not hypocritical. I am asking what is the difference? - Bacon Nov 13, 11:31 3

        Thx, we agree - Bacon Nov 13, 11:34
