1. Buy a very upscale and off-grid ready (solar panels, batteries) RV and spend a good 5-6 months a year travelling North America. Mostly the west and north though. Perhaps spring and fall. 2. Summer months in Toronto for a taste of home, plus live baseball and chance to see NFL as well. 3. Winter months in Penang. Great weather, perhaps the best food culture in SE Asia, interesting and walkable streets.

If people on both sides are irritated, it is probably a reasonable outcome.

I was more thinking of the current and previous administrations, but thanks for the attempted drive-by smear.

Well, Mrs. DeSantis is definitely in the news these days, and has the added bonus of being drop dead gorgeous. Her story of surviving cancer and so on would be compelling reading. A nice young couple with cute kids? What a change for people like them to be in the White House, eh?

Well, one thing is for sure, VP Harris most definitely has had a lot of experience working under older men.

..and is possibly the only politician in America with a lower approval rating than Joe Biden. Possibly the worst VP pick since Dan Quayle.

To make things even sillier, the girl was actually born in the US! Her parents are immigrants from Mexico. Kinda strange to want to honor the country where your parents couldnt even make a living. ...and she wore it anyway at the ceremony. Nice way to honor the country which gave your family refuge. Go to court, lose, then do what you want anyway. Nice work sweetheart. ...and her "personal graduation message" was "viva la Raza", a racist trope often used by angry Chicanos from the 1960s.

Gee, I dunno- immigrant to America, speaks multiple languages, journey from a small village in Slovenia to the White House...sounds interesting to me.

I agree. There was no reason for the girl to make a court case over it. She could wear her precious sash both before AND after the formal ceremony. Seems like a good compromise to me.

Being "proud of your roots" does not necessitate being so ostentatious about them. Or reminding people of them 24/7.

It isnt a "Latino" flag, it is a Mexican flag. To quote the article; The judge also pointed out that the district’s policy would have permitted Villasano to reproduce the design of the sash on her graduation cap, and would have allowed her to wear the sash before and after the ceremony. Just another "Look at me!" troublemaker.

May have a point here. Conservative women in general are much more attractive than lefty. Consider the myriad magazine covers that Michelle Obama got compared to Melania Trump. Now, only one of those ladies is a fashion model, so.... Kristi Noem vs. Katie Hobbs? Megyn Kellly vs. Rachel Maddow? Come on, man!

Probably as much chance as an egomaniacal New York City adulterer. Evangelicals will swallow their trepidation and vote for whoever they see as protecting their religious rights. Considering Sen. Scott was ALREADY elected in a fairly religious state, perhaps the bigotry that is showing is yours...

FDR was more a fascist than any current politician. His disgraceful treatment of Japanese Americans alone singles him out for shame. He was brutal on civil liberties and expanded federal power far beyond what is/was needed.

IF you include people like JK Rowling, Germaine Greer, and Martina Navratilova "right wing culture warriors", then you have a point.

American democracy is not nearly as fragile as some fragile people on the left fear. It could stand civil war, world war, FDR, and Vietnam. A couple years of a tv star wont do any harm.

We shall see. Personally, I think Senator Scott would be a better candidate than DeSantis. Does he also fit conveniently into your little box of slurs?

You are actually using..........Steve Schmidt............. as anything other than the sad punchline to a joke? After the train wreck that was the Lincoln Project? Come on, man!

Thanks for the unnecessary snide correction. "The House" usually refers to the House of Representatives, which is why Congressman McCarthy is called The Speaker of The House. It has been a month since The House passed a debt ceiling bill- what have the President and his minions been doing?

Police training has sadly evolved (or devolved) into an attitude of "officer safety first". Anything that helps the cop go home at night is acceptable, and damn the consequences. That plus a hefty dose of paranoia will lead to this kind of situation. There needs to be far better training and recruiting at all levels of policing, but especially local.

I thought that the House had already passed a bill to solve this... ...and of course Joe has already left Washington for his beach house in Delaware.

Evidence? By far the biggest lobby groups in the US are pharma/medical, realtors, tech, and chamber of commerce.

Did not happen, see other discussion thread. Read past thre headlines.

Anti business?!? Florida leads the US in minority and female owned businesses. There is a net migration INTO Florida from other states of more than 300,000 people per year. But yeah, terrible for minorities. So terrible in fact that the chairman of the board for the NAACP lives in Tampa. And as for education, it only ranked number ONE in the US. https://www.tampabay.com/news/2023/05/04/us-news-world-report-higher-education-desantis-florida-ranking-no-1/

Not sure I see the point here- he is doing what governors do in times of disasters- pressing the flesh and meeting first responders. Am I missing something?
