I think it’s just a punchline from an old joke. There is a similar quote in the movie Cadillac Man

And, of course, that means nobody else can investigate Hunter for another 3 or 4 years.

The report from the Philly Fed makes it clear that mortgage fraud played a big part in the 2008 crash. Maybe more than subprime did.

Whether Trump is elected will depend on how much voter fraud is allowed in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Milwaukee.

I also suspect that attitude toward sex and sex work at different times and ages is a factor. The post Clinton “ a blow job isn't sex” helped supply. Kim Kardashian becoming rich and famous by releasing a sex tape also had some influence.

The first debate will determine Vivek and Ron’s fate. My bet is that Vivek will shine while Desantis fades. But, anything can happen with that many candidates on the stage.
Here is one way it might play out. Vivek does well in the debates, while Trump stays out of the debates. Trump polls at 80% while Vivek gets to 20% in the early primaries. Vivek never insults Trump, but differs with him on some policies. Vivek gets the VP nomination.

We know from the Russia hoax that the DOJ and FBI cannot be trusted. The level to which they are politicized is shocking.
In my mind, the ferocity of the multiple indictments of Trump is more proof of the corruption of our legal system. The DOJ and FBI have lied to take out Trump for years but we’re supposed to believe them this time ?

“I don't understand why these men who have these mental problems….”
Because, as everyone knows, no strippers have mental problems.

Have they considered denying financial assistance to illegals ? The more you incentivize something, the more you get.

The Resort Fees are a good example of how Las Vegas works. Everyone you meet is trying whatever they can to extract as much money from you as possible. Everyone has a hustle. Everyone has an angle. The concept of a fair price for good service doesn’t exist.

shailynnThey never tell you what you need to know.
With NIL, the colleges with the strongest ( richest, most rabid ) alumni will be tier 1.
In football, SEC is #1 and Big10 #2.and Big 12 #3.
In basketball, Big 12 is #1.
It’s all sorting itself out pretty logically.

Try Sydney. First off, it’s a fun, friendly, and fascinating place. Especially the beaches ( seasons are opposite from us ). They don’t have much in the way of strip clubs, but tons of legal brothels and AMPs.

It’s a worthy act of self reflection.

The left wants us to confuse welfare-seeking illegal immigrants with legal immigration based on merit and assimilation. One is a drain on society leading to divisiveness. The other energizes the economy and supports the vision of our nation by the founders.
Vivek supports a merit based immigration system, not the free-for-all we have now.

Quick addendum about a blockade. Ukraine has begun using drones to attack Russian merchant ships traveling through the Black Sea. This will affect oil being supplied to China from Russia. Just an example about how vulnerable China is because of its dependence on imports.

A lot of the time, it’s a tag team of a hot dancer and her less attractive lesbian lover, going through the motions to double their income.

It’s called the Uniparty. It’s every politician and bureaucrat who has gotten wealthy under the current corrupt structure. I figure it’s about 80% of elected officials and 100% of government employees above entry level.
How else would someone like AOC go from bartender to multimillionaire in just a few years.

Those of us over 40 remember an America that was much freer, happier, and United than we are now. Not perfect, certainly, but better than now and better than young people are being told about the past.
Something has gone very wrong and history is being rewritten to hide that fact.

I agree about the establishment Republicans. They are scum.
You referred to the Right. I assumed you meant Conservatives.
The establishment Republicans are ( slowly, too slowly ) leaving office.
In my opinion, the future of the party is embodied by Vivek Ramaswamy.

Conservatives believe in a smaller, less intrusive government. They believe in individual liberty above all else. Conservatives just want the government to leave them alone.
The left wants central control by the anointed elite in federal government.
Florida, Texas, and Arizona are overflowing with strip clubs.
You might want to reflect on your assumption that the right would shut down clubs.

In many places, rents and home prices are going down. Evictions are up. The explosion in the number of short term rentals is destroying that business model. Overbuilding of apartments in previous CoVid hot spots is about to flood the market.
A lot of corporate RE investors are selling inventory and scaling back on home purchases. A lot of their financing is adjustable rates. That’s killing them. They get a better return on bonds and TBills.
We will see a gradual increase in homes for sale. Will it crash ? It might in some places.
