The whole basis of Christianity is that people don't do the right thing so frequently God had to be invented.

You don't think that's a possibility?

Thing is, how do you tell if the groups guarding the stations aren't just casing them? Seems like a good job to have if you want to ruin one.

Unfortunately because security was not a concern for most of these pieces of infrastructure, securing them would probably be pretty expensive. Between the publicity and damage to infrastructure however, there could be enough pressure to spur something. While IP cams may not be sufficient to defend such substations from gunfire, it might have been enough to make IDs in these cases. I don't want to discuss specifics of site security with you, seems like that information probably shouldn't get spread around right now, but do you know if security is the responsibility of the power companies or the government in these instances?

I feel you, Kyle.

bOtH sIdEs!!

Not surprising though. At least I haven't seen anyone hanging Biden in effigy here for a couple months.

Hey maybe you all could form your own group? You could wear clean white robes, masks, light stuff on fire together....

Funny, I didn't think Tucker Carlson was a Democrat. The more you know.

Pretty soon entrepreneurial Americans will be making a hundred dollars off every pair of Levi's they ship over there again. New cold war, same hot deals.

Same old soviet ripoffs but a much smaller territory and only relevant to the world at large due to its belligerence. New boss, "new" country, same mistakes.

This sums up more eloquently than I could why and how Trafalgar polls are, to put it politely, bullshit that I don't concern myself with.

As far as what washington is, it's a democrat plurality saddled with a few highly reactive conservative counties. By highly reactive, I mean until recently they had elected a guy that was literally planning and organizing domestic terrorism under the guise of a "holy war." Of course, people found out and the reds decided they weren't that red. There's also been some good reporting on the QAnon crazies that tried to take over Sequim, if you are interested it's pretty easy to look up.

So yeah, Smiley could get elected, and like when Matt Shea was elected, that would be a tragedy for the entire state, but one we'll endure and overcome.

Wouldn't it be easier to just move to Idaho? You could be surrounded by scumba--er, people like yourself there.

Whether she wins or loses she's a trump-humping bag of filth running on how much she hates everything that makes this state distinct.

Like most Republicans, her rallying cry seems to be that she hates her state, the people that work in it, and the things they enjoy.
