Yeah, it definitely wasn't that great of a store and I don't really care for Walmart in general, but it absolutely served a purpose for that area. I'm not sure what could be interested in taking that store space too. There is a Target not that far from there already, and the days of smaller regional discount department store chains like Ames has been over for 20 years now.

I'm regularly in Mt Washington, the Southside, and Carrick, so I'm calling bs that you supposedly see all of these Trump signs within 10 minutes of your apartment. Your supposed signing sightings are nothing but antidotal evidence, not real data. Donald Trump lost Allegheny County by 20 points, so there is little that is Republican about this county.

I thought you were done replying to me two posts ago lol. Like I really give a fuck what would think of me anyway... And yeah, I kind of did show you were wrong considering states with a 9 point separation in how they vote in a presidential election aren't really that similar.

Friendly reminder also once again that half of Pennsylvanians live in blue Allegheny County or SPEA, not in whatever you're surrounded by in the backwoods.

Don't be a troll. You know perfectly well Biden won in PA by 1% when Trump won in Ohio by 8%. So that means Pennsylvania is 9 points to the left of Ohio, because math is still a thing that matters.

Funny you bring up Youngstown too considering it is in one of the few counties in the country that went from voting for Clinton to Trump.

Oh I was only thinking of the second vote with that.

On June 30, 2021, the resolution, H.Res. 503 Establishing the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, passed on the House floor by a vote of 222 to 190, with all Democratic members and two Republican members, Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, voting in favor.18l sixteen Republican members did not vote. The resolution empowered Pelosi to appoint eight members to the committee, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy could appoint five members "in consultation' with the Speaker.

He also never voted to impeach Trump and did not vote in favor of establishing a committee to investigate 1/6. He may not be extremist with kitchen table issues, but he certainly doesn't have the guts to stand up to the fascists in his party.

Of course it shouldn't just be for yinzers, but I think there would be a good place to post this too.

Though I've always lived in Allegheny County, I fortunately have had the means to do an okay amount of traveling around the country, and there were few places I have thought I could feel at home in like here.
