Seems odd comparing education and party/ideology. I thought liberals were more educated, but that would seem contradictory to this.

Also not buying that urban is higher than rural.

based on the graphic, I assume this poll is from 1996?


Spoiler: show
and, from the possible answers, I probably would have responded "moderately proud." who gives a shit the difference "moderately proud" vs "very proud"

The headline could have been "90% of Americans are somewhat proud'

Not really buying the urban/rural either, buts its basically the same 70%/69%.

The 18-24 yr olds 36%, 65+ 86% I find shocking.

Why shocking? With the ultra-left pap that gets stuffed into that cohort in college, 36% actually strikes me as high.

18-24 year olds are coming into adulthood during a crisis period/peak greed. They are also communicate more with people around the world where we have become a laughing stock in so many ways.

You see getting caught throwing Molotov cocktails doesn't even get you jail time?

I'd have to search for the article, but two young lawyers got caught last year throwing Molotov cocktails, and caught on film, but the courts don't want to ruin their promising careers, so no jail time.

You might want to check your "leadership" metrics. The latest "poll" only had them checking 9% of the Worlds population. The 9% that really hates when they have to pay their fair share of the bill.

I'm with you on the rest of the list.

Do you have the article?

Best I could find, they were offered a plea deal in April and have 90 days to respond. Haven't found details of the plea deal and don't believe they've been sentenced yet.

These terrorists will likely get off the hook via a plea deal.
Two lawyers charged with hurling Molotov cocktails at an empty NYPD van during a Black Lives Matter protest in Brooklyn last summer are still trying to hammer out a plea deal with Brooklyn federal prosecutors, it was revealed in court Thursday.

During the virtual hearing, defense lawyers for Urooj Rahman and Colinford Mattis requested an additional 90 days to work out a disposition, which US District Judge Brian Cogan granted.

Brooklyn federal prosecutors had offered the pair a deal on Feb. 11 but did not publicly disclose the terms.

ok. that article doesn't add anything to what i said.

I doubt they get off with no time. Otherwise, they'd be chomping at the bit to take it and not dragging it out for months. But, we'll see. Care for an avatar bet?

Now you got me looking for the article. Maybe I simply skimmed it, but pretty sure it was only a couple days old.

Damn good piece.

I think it's too late to put the GOP illiberalism back in the box, it has a life and purpose of it's own now.
