    I hate how they call it a “bizarre race”. Since when is an Incumbent Mayor defeating a MAGA White Supremacist ‘bizarre’. Wake me up, when they throw Trump in jail. I’m tired of this grandpa.

      Real Estate has historically been a relatively safe investment platform compared to other options, so you have a large concentration of people who think they are entitled to a massive ROI with basically no effort or risk on their part.

      And if there’s any group of people that think they are entitled to sit on their ass and rake in the money after reaching a certain level of success, it’s conservatives.

        investment platform

        What a fancy way of describing real estate.

        It’s much more accurate to call it, exploiting poor people’s basic needs to get ahead. But of course then you’d be reminding them they aren’t the goody two shoes they like to cosplay as. Can’t have that.

      Trump started out as real estate investor. They think they can do what he has done without realizing how big a a fuck up he was as president.

    Moore garnered 12,822 votes to Hanson’s 3,322 votes (20.6%).

    So, at least 2 out of 10 people in Franklin are racist. In my small New England town, it would have been 4 out of 10.

      Franklin’s weird. Lots of Nashville money but it runs from traditional southern racist money to progressive doctors and the like. The town itself is quite lovely.

    Wow, not only that but her candidacy and personal details get even weirder when you read all the other articles. My favorite was where someone from her campaign told the reporter he was “stalking” her when he asked questions about some totally made up campaign post. Or perhaps when she said the people in the photo claimed to not know her to “protect” her.
