Doesnt matter . Its a military base. Not the fluff the comment made. Sorry i live in reality and dont believe  the crap these two parties feed us. While so many here love the **** the democrats are feeding them. Way too many people treat these parties like a sports team, you dont care what they do as long as your team wins. This is why we are so screwed up in this nation

 

It does matter because there is a specific point.  But you don't seem to care about that.

 

As to the rest of your post, you really need to know the posters here before attempting to paint with such a broad brush.  Had you done so, you would know that I, and a few others here, certainly do not fall into your little box.

Did i say everyone - words are important i said so many. 
 

when i see a liberal defend a conservative and go after a democrat i will know someone is actually thinking and not just rooting for their team.

 

i have not voted for a democrat since the first clinton term or a republican since the first bush jr term. The two parties area joke and as i said so many defend them tooth and nail. One of the things i will never understand is how so many so called conservatives can support a nut like trump and how so many liberals allow the far left to push the democrat agenda and just go along with it.

Once again, you have shown that you care more about the team sports (though claim to not support a "team), than learning anything.  You instead just threw out garbage words with no substance and showed zero interest in the point about the military base.  

 

Go peddle your **** elsewhere.

Just so we are clear for everyone here, you have no interest in any facts that don't fit your narrative.  And you have yet to make a point using any crazy things like verifiable facts.

I linked to a cnn article that specifically said they were moved to a military base.

I think when one party openly embraced authoritarian nationalism 7 years ago, the idea that we shouldn't play political teams went out the window. 

 

To me, it's a binary choice. The party of authoritarian nationalism or the party against it.

Very much so.  Including several members of this forum who should know better…

Doesn’t $12M seem like a whole lot of money for what they are doing?  It can’t possibly cost that much to bus 10,000 people from TX to the East Coast.  Who’s profiting financially from this?

it’s a military base that was already set up specifically to be an emergency shelter. 
 

pro tip - when you post something and someone asks if you actually read what you posted a link to (especially if they specifically point something out) you should go (re)read it. Cause you probably missed something. 
 

it happens. But just refusing to reread it to make sure you didn’t screw up is silly.

Yeah that’s my gut. Assuming it’s actually investigated - I imagine some people are gonna be in trouble.

Yea, to me the people that have a problem with this have a problem with the local and national governments working together to ensure the most efficient use of available resources.

Fwiw those same people also conflate the weekenders who summer on MV with the people who actually live there year round. And/or they cannot acknowledge that the majority of the people there aren't millionaires (and per wiki earn 30% less than average of other people in Massachusetts).
