Portugal is spectacular. COL is very reasonable, and the cities/beaches/lifestyle is wonderful. Like most European countries, they are stagnant and have a population decline issue, but are relatively stable and solid from an energy perspective, as they get ~70% of their electricity from wind...

Hell, it wasn't even because of the quote you cited. Kimmel's sin was making fun of Trump's total lack of empathy, which was objectively true. The line about Trump reaching the 4th stage of grief, construction, was fucking hysterical. Unless you are a tissue paper thin skinned autocrat. Then it...

Got a buddy who just moved to Portugal. Said it was shockingly easy. Had to show like euro $150k deposited in a Portuguese bank. He was going to buy a bar, but wound up not having to. I think Italy is just as/even easier.

Bernie the independent who was - according to MAGA - screwed out of the nomination, maybe twice, by the Democratic party? That Bernie?

Right. Polls that count 108% of those polled must be super accurate.

You need to look up 'majority'.

When you end so many wars, its tough to keep track of combatants.

If this dude is a groyper it's gonna get really interesting...

You have a choice to get vaccinated, but you don't if you want to join the Army or, in most cases, attend schools. There is certainly a case to be made that you should have to get one to minimize risk to others in a non-personal environment. Again, the Federal government mandates any number of...

The federal government requires vaccination at times. You can disagree with it - plenty did w/r/t the armed forces - but it is far from 'ridiculous'. The federal gov't requires many things from businesses.

Of course, there are federal requirements for vaccines for the USAF. So no, not remotely ridiculous.

It was my son's first day of preschool. I was traveling on business to a conference in Atlanta and when we arrived at Hartsfield and got off the plane the entire concourse was huddled around TVs in bars and restaurants watching the first burning building. On our way to the conference, the second...

Yeah. This and the fact they won't release 'good video' of the suspect seem...very off. I am absolutely anti-conspiracist - my favorite podcast is QAA - but this week we have seen the release of the gross AF Epstein birthday book, Israel bombing Qatar, Russian drones falling on Poland and...

Charlie Kirk was a clever internet troll. He had no discernible talent other than saying provocative things with a smile on his face. He was a mediocrity who lied about why he didn't get into West Point, spent a few weeks at CC, and took on any role that would get him closer to power (he was not...

His tariffs are about one thing. Corruption. They are an enormously powerful economic tool he can wield unilaterally to extort and/or cow virtually any country or business on the planet without any check. He has already forced every significant company in the US to kiss the ring, and if you...
