My husband was on a jury just today. :D

Miss me yet?
Whish I thought of that when this thread was posted. Great campaign slogan and very appropriate.
Yes, I’m aware of this. I’ve followed the election results and seen this alarming trend. The rest of the state of Virginia is quite different from Northern Virginia. Even Northern Virginia is very different from what it use to be. I hate going to Northern Virginia. The people are rude and don’t have the class that they have in the rest of the state. As a Californian who travels there frequently that’s my opinion and it’s the truth.
“1) KKT is an idiot. I don’t mean the cliched “what an idiot” - I mean she’s literally not very bright.”
I’m guessing you’ve met her too. She was always an a**hole child-like girl when she came to the local DemocratIC club meetings.
You can’t believe how many stupid Rats thought this was a Democrat club, it was actually a non-political drinking party with politicians invited. Dues were $5/year with free beer/soda at every monthly meeting. Can’t beat that price.
MD is like that as well. Rat areas are Baltimore City, Prince George’s and Montgomery County. Baltimore County has three bad areas, Catonsville, Randallstown and Pikesville on the west side. Anne Arundel has overflow from PG County and Annapolis is taking a turn for the worse.
Got a funny story about Randallstown, I was eating lunch with the Director of Science at our engineering firm and they had a car pool from Randallstown back in the ‘60s when these guys were young and bought their first homes. All were then leaders with multiple promotions. All retired now.
One of the guys was Christian, the other three were Jewish. He asked the Director if he remembered when they were coming to work way back when and he asked if they were all going to sell their houses to black people and move out and leave him behind. They all had done so and the ‘hood was sinking, two other guys I knew bolted for the same reason.
Fast forward to last time I saw him and he finally pulled up stakes and got out. A black neighbor came to him and said he couldn’t keep the local kids from breaking into his house and multiple garages (he restored old cars) and it was probably a good idea to leave. My buddy was glad to move, his wife liked their home otherwise he would have left long before that.
Bad news was he moved to Manchester, above Hampstead and both are sanctuary areas for hispanics now since the local law enforcement has declined to pursue charges. Drivers licenses for hispanics can be obtained from a special line at the DMV for spanish speaking and what I don’t understand is they are registering their cars in PA. I’ll figure it out eventually or someone will fill me in.
Towson’s not much better, government workers and same problems most areas have with the city being vacated.
Fed Employees are part of the problem, yes, as Montgomery and PG County are so heavily Dem for that reason. Howard too to a lesser degree.
The other part is the high black population - while many deep South states have more blacks, many of these blacks in MD are also motivated voters (and many Fed employees on top of it) - where in the South, they largely are not. Getting blacks to vote less than 90% Dem is a challenge.
True - there is more than just the Federal employee issue (although my wife is a Fed employee and as conservative as me)...
You have the high black population, the “hereditary Democrats” (my daddy was a Dem so I am) that are all over Baltimore, Anne Arundel, and Howard Counties, the Columbia hippie types, all contributing as well to MD’s Dem slant.
Bleh.
Actually, AA Cty usually goes GOP - even in Presidential elections - and the Dem still wins.
AA is OK - but Crofton, AA Laurel near the Target on 198, Fort Meade, and Severn have become sh*tholes...
I wasn’t aware of Severn turning bad, I used to stop at Safeway on the way back to Baltimore County.
I knew Annapolis had major problems, in the news all the time.
I suspected Crofton was having problems as well. Like the Annapolis MacGruder’s supermarket both were closed. Darn shame I liked the Annapolis one but never did more than drive by the one in Crofton. Thought about moving there but I decided to quit and take a better job.
The whole state is going down the tubes under O’Malley. The Rats continue to raise taxes oblivious to the fact that people move to PA, VA and even W VA.
W VA had that train wreck back in the mid-90s that came in from Berkeley with a bunch of Fed workers commuting to DC. Major loss of life, I had just been to Harper’s Ferry on business before the accident.
Like Rats everywhere the ones in MD can’t find their butts with both hands, and there are two real beauties in the state legislature from AA county.
Look at our Fed Senators, one lesbian ex-social worker from Fells Point and an Israeli hating jew from Pikesville.
Pretty obvious we have massive voter fraud and really stupid voters and self-serving politicians.
