SCBills

I’d be interested in seeing how covid affected SC. South Carolina is basically three regions. Lowlands. (Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Hilton Head) Midland (Columbia) Upstate (Greenville, Clemson) I’m not sure how hard hit the coastal tourist areas were, but Greenville shut down for about a month and then partial reopening for a while … it seemed normal, but you still had restrictions. Id suspect you’ll see changing statistics soon from South Carolina. Greenville is one of the fastest areas of the country, but it’s very recent .. within the last five years or so. Also, as is the case with the coastal areas, Greenville is heavy hospitality/tourism. There’s something like 250+ restaurants downtown according the most recent estimates.

That was the fear of some when we had rando polls showing Jamie Harrison was in a tie with Lindsey Graham. Then Lindsey Graham won in a landslide. From my time in the SE… northern voters moving to Florida and South Carolina are doing so because they lean right and want to be around people who think like them, lower taxes and better weather. South Carolina is as red as it’s ever been and Florida went from purple to ruby red. Now Georgia and North Carolina are a mixed bag, with some people fleeing for politics, but alot of people moving due to job relocation. When you have that, you have people who want their politics to follow where they were pseudo-forced to move to. Both states still lean red, and in Presidential elections will be lean R for anyone not named Donald Trump, but like PA, MI & WI, will have to be defended by the typically incumbent party. R’s should really examine Brian Kemp, as he is incredibly popular .. beat Stacey Abrams easily, and has shown R’s how to win suburban women and black men at a clip that makes them unbeatable in competitive states.

I believe someone earlier informed you of what is being funded by the federal govt as result of their responsibilities to states and their citizens. You want a yes or no, because you have no ability to understand (or a want to understand) what you’re talking about.

I spend half my week in South Carolina. The metro area of Greenville is the largest in the state and the city, along with its suburbs, are booming. Greenville is honestly one of the most beautiful downtowns ever created .. just absurdly gorgeous. Interstate 85 which goes down the east coast opens up to 4 lanes in certain parts of Greenville, they finished a big 85/385 corridor merge in about a year and .. so far .. have kept up with the growth pretty well. They house the North American HQ for Michelin and BMW Manufacturing. Columbia is the capital is pretty stagnant. Mainly the state government and university driving population. Charleston is also booming, and similar to Greenville has matched suburb infrastructure with the growth. The city is, and will always be, mainly a tourist focal point. Rock Hill, SC.. a popular suburb of Charlotte .. again .. seems to be doing just fine. Where is this angst you speak of?… beyond the old school locals who are sick of seeing NY/NJ license plates everywhere.

That Milley/Levine line though… Well done.

Why did we spend 24/7 news coverage on the “Russian coup” last week? Now ask yourself why American media went all in on that story and isn’t touching the civil unrest, trending into outright anarchy, in France..

It’s literally the basis of the ruling. You cannot compel speech in that regard. It works both ways.

So…. American media just not gonna touch this, huh?

Conservatives saved gay people from being forced to design anti-gay marriage websites as well.

ESPN’s NFL Live team are the only ones worth protecting at all costs. Orlovsky, Kimes, Rutledge, Spears and Clark do a pretty good job, imo.

Same location - Trump Doral July 10th Just announced it on Fox News.

Let me guess, you’re real excited about Will Hurd for President? Hes going to bow out early, take a job at CNN or MSNBC as a “Republican Contributor” and proceed to agree with Democrats on everything.

So your parents are Bush Republicans? Makes sense .. those types are the ones who now makeup half of MSNBC’s current audience. I prefer the GOP that focuses on parents and conservatives. Admittedly, they’re losing moderate single women and the neocons but are gaining Hispanics, Muslims and Black Men. We’ll see how it turns out in the long run.

There’s a lot to unpack in these riots from open borders, to a lack of cultural assimilation and a failing state, but one thing we know is certain… Politicians never let a good emergency go to waste.

Why?

The videos coming out of France right now… Absolute mayhem.

Do the Bills seem to have more outspoken players coming at issues from the right, or does it just seem that way due to being a team in NY? Between covid and now this.. I’m curious if other teams have these “controversies”. Off the top of my head, I know Nick Bosa is an outspoken MAGA guy but he’s also the best pass rusher in the league, so San Fran fans arent trying to rock that boat. Micah Parsons attacked Biden recently .. and then had to walk it back when liberals got all upset. Justin Jackson is vocal about issues from anti-establishment progressive viewpoint. Off the top of my head, that’s all I can really think of since Kaep. The NFL seems to keep a tight lid on politics in comparison to NBA & MLB. NHL seems to be going the way of the NFL in shutting down politically charged content. And the UFC is basically the inverse of the NBA with a heavy right leaning fanbase and athlete sentiment.

We’ll see .. I’m sure he won’t push to make it illegal due to PP’s death grip on his party, but this is pretty clear.. "The next three months is between, I mean, just a woman and her family," Biden continued. "Next three months is between a woman and her doctor. The last three months have to be negotiated, because you can’t — unless you are in a position where your physical health is at stake you can’t do it."
