Hey Joe, if they were able to force you out then you were not in charge. Yes, they were "suckers" and "jackasses" but also "boss."

Step daughter, but still.

Might be wrong on MN. I think they're embarrassed by Walz seeing him on the national stage and how cringy he is.

Long shot, but IL could be on the table as well. They don't poll here because it's assumed to be blue. We've had republican governors.

The non-endorsement hot tub must look pretty good right now, and baby, it’s cold outside. The Hill ran a story yesterday headlined, “Over 200 Gannett outlets not ‘endorsing in presidential or national races’.” In other words, USA Today and all its local papers are out, sayonara; more than 200 papers in all, none of them will endorse the Cackling Candidate. ...

So far, the LA Times, the Washington Post, and now USA Today (and its 200 local papers) have defied furious readers and refused to run a simple endorsement. It’s really something.

I get that take, but who even uses those sites or reads those papers? That has never once influenced my vote ever. I just listen to the candidate. Kamala is a cunt. I don't know how anyone with a working brain will vote for her. Oh wait.... they didn't.

Musk. Don't know if it will happen in our lifetimes. There's likely resources and minerals out the ass on Mars. Don't sleep on Musks' Boring company. Everyone focuses on Tesla, SpaceX and X. I don't know if I'll see it, but he has reusable rockets that could haul massive amounts of resources. AND the drilling capacity.

He's an awkward character, but I personally think he plans to fly his Boring machines to Mars and extract minerals. Think of it as a planetary gold rush.

I'm OK with that. As long as I'm not forced to pitch in. I might buy stock. Or not. The question is: WTF it has to do with the POTUS?

Enjoy this hilarious clip of sex worker and Kamala Harris celebrity endorser “Cardi B” completely unraveling at a Harris rally after her teleprompter crashed. It was ugly. And I’m not just talking about the rapper. She ended by reading her speech off a cell phone.

Cardi B’s speech wasn’t loaded into the teleprompter so she oddly stammers for ninety seconds until someone runs her phone out to her!

This is just hilarious! So clearly, Cardi has no idea what she’s even endorsing Kamala for…

In many ways, Cardi B is the perfect celebrity to stump for Kamala Harris. They are similar in so many ways. I’m not saying it. But you know.

Who even cares? I'm voting 100% for Trump. At least with the Puerto Rico thing the man could talk and really is pretty funny. The joke fell flat, it happens. It's funny if you've been to Puerto Rico. Most haven't been, so they call it racist. Likely because they are racists and virtue signal. PR is shitty, but there are good parts.

St. Thomas outside of the cruise port is chicken and trash. It's one of my favorite places to go. Good people, poor government with the cruise ship industry. Go to Magen's Bay. Or Coki. Let me know what you think.

Some people are absolutely stupid. Even my own friends when we went for the wife's 40th. They were all scared of the locals for the most part. I was kind of shocked. They were scared to go into a local market. I just walked there and said hi to the stoned and drunks in front and said what's up brother. Not intending to brag but $1k watch on. Never feared about anything.

Two friends were fine, husband and wife went to the strip club in Red Hook. That's a story for another day.... I'm only racist against Muslims. I'll never travel to the ME. I hate religion and theirs is the worst.

Only if they cheat again, which seems much more difficult this time around.

Cheat is the only purpose for Dominion machines, mail in votes, and massive illegal immigration. The cheat has been planned and executed for the last 4 years. Final phase of the cheat will be after hours on Election Night in the swing districts of the swing states.

Last Tuesday, Kamala Harris gave A Very Important Speech at “the Ellipse,” which Wikipedia says is an elliptical lawn near the White House in Washington D.C. The German press and the American press were very happy about this speech. They told me that it was Harris’s “closing argument,” in keeping with the campaign fiction that Harris is a fierce prosecutor sticking it to the evil unbalanced orange criminal incumbent Donald Trump, who has been ruling the United States with an iron fist for the past decade. They told me that Harris’s words were enormously wise and tolerant and that they struck just the right tone and that they were sure to win over poor people and undecided centrists and right-leaning young men.

How is the drinking water in St. Thomas? And how does one get there? Hotels?

Cruise is the easiest for most. But a few airports have non-stops. Usually though it will be FLL, MIA and SJU (Puerto Rico) layovers. Frontier, Southwest, American, Delta (I think) and United all fly there and others. Silver airways is the small plane from those 3 locations and it's usually about $180-200pp.

Not gonna be cheap if you don't have points. But no passport and extra fees. $11.40 are the fees. Have a point flight to Mexico in 2 weeks, points, but still dropping $110 or so on fees. Then the fare. I wouldn't recommend the cruise route though. Not enough time and you don't get screwed by the tourist traps. A cruise day will cost $100/person but i've gotten it down to $50/person/day, maybe less. Booze, meals and car rental.

As far as the water I only brushed teeth. I drink beer on vacation. Literally all day. It's a messy island, but the municipal water service and sewer from my experience in the states and seeing it there is good and I'd trust it. Most resorts like in Mexico have their own filtration system as well.

I could write a book on this. Margarittaville is our go to cheap option on St. Thomas but is actually really nice (lots of walking). Walk to Coki beach. Good food on Coki with the locals. The resort not so much. Red Hook 5-6min drive has some good restaurants. Day trips to St. John are easy from that spot. If you haven't done a car ferry be prepared. There's passengers ferries, but you're at the mercy of taxis and tour buses then on St. John. I always rent a car. Opposite side of the road, but left side driver seat. Touch weird having been a postal worker. I get totally flipped now when down there.

St. John, which you should go to 100%, the Westin is a great option. Like Mexico, Dominican, Jamaica, Aruba, etc. there a lot of walking at these places. So make sure you're good for 2-3 miles in a day. Don't need to know your age, but if 60+ it can likely be a lot.

This is my plan for a group family trip. https://www.vrbo.com/1815492?dateless=true&x_pwa=1&rfrr=HSR&pwa_ts=1730747191590&referrerUrl=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudnJiby5jb20vSG90ZWwtU2VhcmNo&useRewards=false&adults=2%C2%AEionId%3D601376&destination=St.+John%2C+U.S.+Virgin+Islands&destType=MARKET&latLong=18.336811%2C-64.728096&amenities_facilities_group=private_pool&bedroom_count_gt=6&privacyTrackingState=CAN_TRACK&productCardViewType=GRID&searchId=5269a0bf-dc6b-46ab-8162-b84f79d31b22&us_bathroom_count_gt=5&sort=RECOMMENDED&gclid=Cj0KCQiA_qG5BhDTARIsAA0UHSK4PvrSikMBZIxJy43CDBuGb4C5Fm7nHWokPxbZ-46uYbHsF0BAtHwaAoInEALw_wcB&semcid=VRBO-US.UB.GOOGLE.DT-c-EN.VR&semdtl=a112250889181.b1121207116950.g1kwd-318083597177.e1c.m1Cj0KCQiA_qG5BhDTARIsAA0UHSK4PvrSikMBZIxJy43CDBuGb4C5Fm7nHWokPxbZ-46uYbHsF0BAtHwaAoInEALw_wcB.r12ed03d80a0231a0f6d6ec22a7e46988ba8b52df53436aaa6091b69439f5a4413.c1e9rSdwFsEaYgPgMOVjVrow.j19021667.k1.d1496316568908.h1e.i1.l1.n1.o1.p1.q1.s1.t1.x1.f1.u1.v1.w1&userIntent=&expediaPropertyId=42704649

Quiet part of St. John, but a restaurant nearby owned by someone from my region. Fun place.
