Binghamton NY counter-protester this past Saturday.

Your = you're.
I.D. = ID
What a "Moran".

1. Reminds me of a sign from a "massive" (10 people) "english only"

protest: "English is ARE language". Between that and "get a brain, morans", I just shake my head at these barely-literate, barely-sentient, wastes of oxygen.

Many years ago, there was picketing about some movie about jesus (I forget which one) from Universal Studios, and how indecent and sacreligious it was. For my own amusement, I went to see the protestors. Sure enough, one of the little dears had a sign about "unaversial studioes". Wanting to be helpful, I pointed out her errors. She snapped at me, "The spelling isn't important." I replied, "Well, if you want people to even begin to take you seriously, you should at least spell correctly what you are protesting. Pretty sure jesus would." I turned and went back to my car.

6. I don't care about spelling errors at all, except on protest signs from people

who are not on our side. They're fair game!

[niyad]

7. As an editor, spelling errors make me cringe, but I can also ignore them,

unless, as you said, they are from the morans (sp deliberate!).

2. Binghamton is actually my home town. Born and raised there.

Hate to say it, but I am not surprised by the sign. OTOH, Binghamton University is a very good school with many students. Obviously this guy is not one of them.

[LuckyCharms]

3. My hometown too.

SUNY Broome grad (Broome Community College)

Binghamton University grad - School of Management

[Katinfl]

4. Small world. We left in 1984 because of a job transfer (IBM). Do you live there now?

[LuckyCharms]

5. Yes, still here.

Retired...Lockheed Martin.

8. My kid got accepted to SUNY Binhamton

Looks like there or SUNY Buffalo. We are visiting both next week.

[LuckyCharms]

9. Both are great schools. I have two nieces who went to SUNY Buffalo.

What degree is your kid pursuing?

[IbogaProject]

16. Biology or Chemistry

I'm dragging him to visit both departments at both schools. Bingamton has a Biological Chemistry major, full ACS chem major w Biology focus.

[LuckyCharms]

17. Good wishes to your son, and to you.

I don't know if you have ever been to Binghamton University, so please forgive me if you have.

It's a nice campus that has improved a lot over the years. There is a nature preserve above the campus. The library tower is the tallest building on campus, and you can use that as a reference point if navigating around the grounds.

Extremely competitive school. Challenging, but fun.

It's located in Vestal, NY, on Route 434, which is also known as the Vestal Parkway. They recently installed a long pedestrian walkway that enables one to walk to Binghamton if so desired.

There's a ton of businesses along the parkway, and it gets more and more developed by the minute.

There are a lot of food options here.

If you like Italian, try Oaks Inn in Little Italy in Endicott. Maybe a 10 minute drive from BU, on Oak Hill Avenue. You would likely need a reservation.

22. Thank you so much

Binamptom is is first choce, Buffalo is the other strong choice for us. He also got into Rutgers but no NY State money for that plus out of state tuition so that one isn't being considered.

[Vinca]

10. Hope they got him off the voter list.

[Prairie Gates]

11. Binghamton used to be a Democratic hub, repped by the late, great Maurice Hinchey

Sad to see the Southern Tier tilt so far MAGA

[LuckyCharms]

12. For a blue state...

there's a shitload of MAGA around here!

I knew a local business owner who was a diehard Democrat, but he presented as a Republican. He stated he was Republican, because all of his business associates were. But I knew him well, and he fucking hated Republicans. Most old time business owners around here are indeed Republican.

80% of the people I went to high school with are MAGA. It's depressing.

[Prairie Gates]

13. Rod Serling statue high school?

[LuckyCharms]

14. No, I'm not from Binghamton proper...I'm a few miles away.

It's all really one city...The Triple Cities.

I'm in Binghamton most every day though.

[MustLoveBeagles]

15. Let me guess

A white male who won't be subjected to restrictions or harassment over voting.

[lame54]

18. If you're stupid enough to vote for Trump...

All this bullshit is completely your fault

[Niagara]

19. The counter protesters havn't figured out that the SAVE Act is a poll tax

and that it's a way to exclude or disenfranchise voters, including members of their own families.



Almost 12 minutes of Elissa Slotkin discussing the SAVE Act.

About 1 and half minutes of Elizabeth Banks discussing the SAVE Act.

Almost 38 minutes of Marc Elias discussing the SAVE Act.

&t=60s

20. 'You're right! You're absolutely right! You and me agree on that. HE WAS A PUNK!"

Sorry...Jerky Boys impersonation.
