You must be a big ’ol boy. I know people you talk to them like that face to face would kick your ass.

Again, Sad.

I’m curious. Do you talk to everyone so crassly, or only when you are hiding behind a screen? I can’t imagine you hang out with many people in person who don’t think like you if this is how you treat people face to face. Sad.

Both, but if window shoving was that pervasive, window safety would have to be improved in addition to vigorous prosecution of the shovers.

You implied he was incompetent.

No. I’d say window safety would need to be re-evaluated.

If you don’t think Trump will declare th election rigged if he loses, then it’s you who are delusional. Trump is head of Republican Party, so if he cries foul the party cries foul. I said nothing about you specifically.

Wait and see if he loses. He’ll blame everyone else, and from what I’ve seen you all will be right along with him.

I cited the article mainly to demonstrate that construction spending is in fact dropping, related to an earlier post.

He has a very successful practice spanning 35+ years and says this tax law was about as hastily done as Obamacare was. Probably didn’t even read it. The 1040 is postcard sized as promised, but the schedules which have to be attached have multiplied almost exponentially. Their software company has yet to get it all encoded it’s so screwed up.

It may have been shocking, but it wasn’t close. If he had lost the popular vote and won on the strength of 70000 votes spread over 3 states, I shudder to think of the outcry.

Why am I not surprised by that response. Just like Fearless Leader. If they don’t agree with you, get rid of them.

I have commercial construction customers telling me this. They are not seeing projects coming as in past. Harvey is an outlier. A lot of insurance and FEMA money poured in here to enable that burst. Reuter’s just reported today’s market drop is a result of waning confidence fueled in part by a .6% drop in construction spending in December. Still strongly disagree?

You have to understand, from my point of view Clinton ran a crap campaign. Arrogant overconfidence proved her undoing. Same with Al Gore in 2000. Had he won his home state, hanging chads would have been irrelevant. Democrats spent too much time crying over that one instead of getting on with business. Will Republicans cry like Democrats if Trump is defeated in 2020? My guess is yes.

You didn’t read my answer. This election is as legitimate as any, unless Mueller’s report has evidence of collusion. Maybe not Trump, but his campaign operatives. To ignore the fact that Russians are getting closer to having undue influence on our politics is to do so at our own peril. As an aside, ad hominem attacks on critics is oftentimes a sign of a weak defense, if not outright guilt.

I figure they’ve been trying since the Cold War began. The hyper-use of social media in the 2016 election gave them an ease of access to the process they hadn’t known before. Facebook use has more than doubled since 2012 and Twitter almost fivefold.

Well, I’d say 25,000+ gun deaths per year as opposed to virtually zero in person voter fraud charges among millions and millions of votes cast is a pretty good reason.

I think the education issue is settled. Literacy is not a prerequisite to vote. People convicted of certain crimes (felonies) are prohibited from voting. I have personally assisted people with Downs Syndrome to vote. I don’t really get your point.

My CPA would disagree.

How about them?

You must not have been carrying your registration card.

That is all up to the several states.

I didn’t say anything about decline. I was talking profitability. Though I will say construction activity outside petrochemical has slowed considerably in our region.

Who?
