1. Springsteen better update the lyrics to My Hometown

wait, he isn't a fucking lying idiot.

2. And the tragedy of our times is that there are people from that rally who...

...drive home past these places and smile thinking "Trump's going to get these places back up and running".

The inmates have certainly taken over the asylum (at least until 2018)

3. And when they don't come back, they'll blame Liberals, Immigrants, Blacks, Women, Gays,

and everything else under the sun except for Trump and the Republicans.

[Botany]

5. You forgot Unions, the EPA, and Environmentalists

BTW I know the area well and they have pulled up the RR tracks, sold the
metal for scrap, and trees are now growing in the middle of the old buildings.

6. Of course.

Classic tribalism behavior. Internalize success and externalize failure. Everything good that happens is because the tribe deserves goodness and everything bad that happens is because "the other" is against the tribe.

Fasten your seatbelts...and get the hell out to vote in 2018.

[Cirque du So-What]

4. I once knew someone

who was blind from birth. He encountered a local osteopath with some unorthodox ideas, who told my friend to come to his office so he could cure his blindness. My friend said to me, 'If I coulda seen him, I woulda punched him in the nose.'

Poor analogy, perhaps, but it's what comes to mind when tRump announces these grandiose plans that have no basis in reality.

7. They're not coming back...

For the same reason that they left. Someone is getting rich doing it. Which Paul Ryan says,"is a good thing".

[Orsino]

8. Trump isn't even trying to bring back jobs, and wouldn't know how if he did try.

He is busy deflecting from his myriad deficiencies.

Bringing up old promises of his is of limited utility. He breaks them all.
