New York resident here.

I figured that after the hoopla he’d be bogged down by entrenched bureaucrats and stymied by inertia.

I don’t know how he’s doing it, but I hope he doesn’t slow down.

I can’t remember the comic who said it.

“I want to meet a guy on a dating app. I also realize that any guy who is good at internet dating is probably going to be a pig.”

A woman did this back in 2018.

Invited a bunch of guys from Tinder to meet her in a NYC park and then let the drama unfold.

Check which local politician has made it part of their platform.

Go support them.

Not really.

Take the first one. Someone can work hard to improve themselves, but have a realistic idea of how far they can go. Maybe I’ll take a chance and open a hot dog stand of my own; I shouldn’t expect to outdo Burger King or KFC.

You can take risks safely. A scuba diver can explore a cave with a trained buddy and proper equipment, or just swim in alone.

All the people who fought in the Tojan War are long dead, but Homer’s words still live on.

How is ‘multiculturalism’ impossible? Try spending a day in any big city. People use words from different languages all the time. They use chopsticks and European table ware at the same meal.

You don’t even need to go to a big city. Look at the All American cowboy. Pretty much everything you associate with him comes from Mexico. His lariat comes from ‘la riata’ and his Stetson was based on a sombrero.

This is because the American slave owners wanted to be able to sell their own children.

After raping a slave, if she got pregnant they could free their child or keep them as a slave.

Thomas Jefferson’s concubine, Sally Hemmings, was probably 3/4 white, and at least 1/2 white. Her granddaughter created a scandal when she ‘passed’ for white.

If an american tries to call themselves Native because they are 1/32 Native, people laugh at them. But up until a few years ago, being 1/64 Black made you Black.

The really amazing thing about Trump is that I literally can’t find one good thing to say about him. Hitler showed personal bravery in WW1. Stalin was a bank robber. Mao led his troops into battle. No one is saying those guys were anything but monsters, but they had qualities you could respect.

Even comic book villains display some admirable qualities, even if it’s only style.

Trump embodies all Seven Deadly Sins, and has invented a few new ones.

You might want to look up some high end perfumes; they often sell anti=perspirants with the same scent.

If you liked Columbo, watch Law And Order : Criminal Intent.

Vincent D’Onofrio plays a cop with a history of mental illness. You know who did the drime, the fun is watching Vincent ensnare them. Best L&O series.

Robin Williams as a psycho killer and Al Pacino as a spiraling cop.

Watch it.

My immediate thought was that someone had died or had gotten some other terrible news.

Nice to think it’s adults being mischievous

The bottom line is, the GOP and Trump are trying to keep you from voting.

Everything else is just a lot of hot air.

Probably was.

I heard it in a class.

Clinton had a GOP Congress.

If you want a lesson, it’s vote in every election and always mark your ballot to hurt the GOP worse.

Same thing with cars.

They used to be really colorful and fun. Now I’m surprised when I see a red car.

Funny story.

Edison was trying to make Tesla’s Alternating Current look dangerous, unlike Edison’s safe Direct Current.

Edison paid a stooge to push through a bill in the New York Legislature ot make AC electric chairs the official form of execution.

Thank Reagan.

When he deregulated the banks he gave a blank check to a bunch of third raters who’d gone to small time banks because they knew they couldn’t cut it anywhere else.
