That’s something some don’t seem to understand in here. Canada isn’t moving toward China in a vacuum. They’re moving toward China because we’ve treated them, and Europe as well, poorly over the last year.

We appear to be an unreliable ally from their POV. Why wouldn’t they try to find a steadier and less overtly hostile ally?

I hate what’s happening, but we treat our allies negatively for the benefit of China.

I think there is likely to be a rightward political shift nationwide across most of the population from stuff like this.

This is fantastic news if it’s the right guy.

I think recent events have pushed many previously reliable Democrat voters I know to the right, either to the point of no longer voting or switching their vote to R completely. I think it’ll be a blowout in midterms next year, especially compared to other recent elections.

Let’s hope they’re about to catch him!

This is terrible. I’m praying for his family and friends. :(

Thanks Spartan. I hadn’t seen the referral document. I find it hard to believe that would all be made up.

If there is true evidence of mortgage fraud, then I think the decision is correct. Right now, as far as I know, there’s no way for any of us to know whether that evidence exists, other than relying on the executive branch to be telling the truth.

Good recommendations in here, I’d also add Grand Lake and Estes Park. Pick a town west of Denver and it’ll likely be good.

Colorado is fantastic. I’d go there.

Colorado could use some logging. There’s a lot of old and dead trees sitting in the forest that either needs to burn up in a fire or be taken away. I’m assuming a lot of national parks are the same way. The logging of course needs to be done sustainably, ie not a clear cut, but I’m not opposed in theory.

The land should all be returned to the states and become state parks. Let them keep the revenue and have the expenses.

I don’t know if this would work in practice. The vast majority of federal wilderness doesn’t bring in any Revenue at all, and many, if not most or all, of the states out west cannot afford to maintain the millions of acres of protected wilderness.

I think in practice it would result in most of the the states selling off the land to developers and ruining what we currently have out there.

This is an instance where government spending money on something gives us all a huge return. Very few other people in the world can claim to have the wealth of nature and wilderness that we do.

Is the quality of the schooling that much better at the 4%? You should be able to ask the schools for graduation rates and what % of the student body goes to college. So much of your child’s education & outlook will depend on your home life, not sure if it’d be worth the extra cost for the super expensive school.

The clientele in WF, CostCo, Kroger, Central Market, etc. is noticeably different still.

Thanks man. I just deleted that one - I think you guys called that one out as stupid and outlandish, and I agree. Thanks for walking me off the ledge.
