Yeah! Ain’t it a bitch? I feel sorry for the motherfucker.Trump has had the misfortune of facing 10 times more emergencies than all of his predecessors, and it has been especially bad in his second term.
It is just bad luck for Trump that he would be forced to deal with so many unforeseen emergencies.
Yes, the NC foothills. And it also leads me to shake my head at the number of Confederate flags I see there whenever I go home to visit my parents or other relatives. Most of the flags, frankly, are hanging from old trailers or broken-down homes, although some newer and nicer places have them as well. And I'm sure that the vast majority of these people would be shocked to learn that some of their ancestors likely opposed secession and fought for or at least supported the Union in the conflict. As you said, Anti-Confederate feeling was pretty widespread in the NC mountains and foothills counties during the war, but you'd never know it based on the number of Confederate flags and other crap you see up there. Just another sign of the enormous success of conservatives in framing the history of that war to their liking.

What!? That can’t be! I live in northern CO. A few years ago there were some guys in their 20s with WY plates that had a large confederate flag hanging in their garage. They were just upholding the storied confederate tradition of CO and WY. Couldn’t be anything else.Confederate flags are not about heritage.
I created it just for my WNC brethren, @Mulberry Heel
Is it now...It is just bad luck for Trump that he would be forced to deal with so many unforeseen emergencies.

Trump Tried to Kill the Infrastructure Law. Now He’s Getting Credit for Its Projects.
Signs bearing President Trump’s name have gone up at major construction projects financed by the 2021 law, which he strenuously opposed ahead of its passage.
—> Trump Tried to Kill the Infrastructure Law. Now He’s Getting Credit for Its Projects.
“… “PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” a sign by the road declares. “REBUILDING AMERICA’S INFRASTRUCTURE.”
In recent months, a number of similar signs have popped up in front of major infrastructure projects financed by the bipartisan 2021 legislation, a $1.2 trillion package that Mr. Trump, who left office in January of that year, had passionately railed against. He called the bill “a loser for the U.S.A.,” and warned that Republican lawmakers who signed on could be thrown out of office by angry primary voters. “Patriots will never forget!” he wrote.
The signs bearing Mr. Trump’s name now adorn bridge projects in Connecticut and Maryland; rail-yard improvement projects in Seattle, Boston and Philadelphia; and the replacement of a tunnel on Amtrak’s route between Baltimore and Washington, according to W. Kyle Anderson, a spokesman for the company….”
