I am also very curious how often the "huge vacation season" predictions that happen every time there's a Democratic president in office actually reflect reality.

My brother in law lives in something that looks like this just outside of Dallas. Just this for like 5 square miles. Centrally planned and recently built. And I cannot for the life of me understand why they didn't sprinkle some bars, restaurants, and small grocery stores in it.
Nobody except European governments view government as public good. They view it as personal enrichment service for friends.
When you begin handing your governments over to those same people, your government starts looking like where those people came from.

Very few people are going to win a 1v1 with Jon Stewart in a format like this but the answer is "children should not be exposed to sexual deviancy, that should be obvious, and I don't find it necessary to elaborate further."
"It's a comedy show."
"Children can't put comedy in context. Because they're children. For the same reason you wouldn't show them horror movies."
"Shouldn't that be a parent decision?"
"We already decided some decisions need be taken out of parents' hands. That's why CPS exists."

New York has basically fined a real estate developer for doing regular real estate development things during a housing crisis. She's doing damage control.
"What'd he do?"
"He got a building loan using an existing asset as collateral and then and paid it back with interest."

Everyone can make fun of the Tucker in Moscow thing and that's fine, but nobody seems willing to admit that most US cities are transforming at various speeds into unlivable holes and nobody seems to have a plan to stop it.
"Well that's what they voted for!"
OK, yes, but then you're admitting that democracy is bad and doesn't work. We agree! What's next?

His job is the girl with him, not two randos he's never met.
There were still very few people in Penn Station. Grand Central was full of illegals. FiDi was a ghost town except at the Bull where tourists were taking pictures.

Today, I went to mass at [Local Catholic College]. During the recital of the Creed, the priest dropped the word "men."
The left expects the right to lay down their arms in exactly this way, which allows them unimpeded progress when the power rests with them.
As I went into the explicitly-signed "All-Gender Restroom" in the Catholic Chapel, it occurred to me that 1) If it can reach into a Catholic college, it can reach into anywhere and 2) the ONLY real solution is to put any convenient boot on their neck until they stop.

There is a very good locked thread under this Tweet, but the crux of it is that London police couldn't stop this even if they wanted.
It's largely the result of a police force that's designed to police British People and is, instead, being asked to police Africans.
The lie of Blank Slate Theory has led to a police force that's woefully ill-equipped to deal with what it's being asked to deal with.

You made it impossible to fake IDs, cops conduct sting operations to arrest people selling beer to underage kids, and parents can be arrested for having parties at their house that include underage drinking.
In other words, Boomers and Xers destroyed youth. Again.
Going to guess it's not as easy to get a handle of cheap vodka as "get someone with a steady hand and a colored pencil to change the date on your NY Driver's License" anymore.

That's because 50 years of non-Trump Republicans have done nothing to push the country rightward in any meaningful way.
They didn't do him any favors putting him opposite of Jackman, though.
Like this is so bad.

This is why these people are interesting to listen to but ultimate unhelpful. They'll put Robert Kennedy in office who will be a rubber stamp for any bit of left wing legislation that lands on his desk.
An unsecured canoe is over his wife(?) and son's(?) head while he awkardly holds paddles over his daughter's(?) head in order to be distracted and confused as to why a more experienced man might have a rifle in the wilderness.

Some guy was responding to me the other day that people took vacations and stuff while on single incomes and I'm like "my dad didn't stay in a hotel room until he was like 22."
Like, my dad drove an 83 Ford Ranger for 18 years that he purchased after after selling his 71 Ford LTD to his brother for $200. That's hundred. When my mom started working they bought a 77 Chevette for $350.

And there is an interpretation of this song where you take the narrator at face value and he's still proud of being born in America despite having faced all the hardships he has because he saw what life in Vietnam was like.
Bruce could have left the music sad and somber like the demo and kept the name as Vietnam Blues. But he didn't, so he released a different song then he intended. The song says what it says and sounds like what it sounds like.

TIL there's an art-house term for the belief that art says what it says, not what the author wanted it to say.
Imagine posting this and believing it invalidated OP's main point.

Gay marriage caused this because all the well-funded organizations that used to cape for gay rights had the choice to either fold up shop or find a new cause.
And nobody really "accepted" gay marriage. It was declared as law by the high druid council in 2015 and then they dragged that one County Clerk through the streets to the gallows to show what would happen if you didn't toe the new line.
