I mean Trump is very old and the tech bros are not used to cold weather. So it makes sense they accommodate their frailties.

There is no reason Donald Trump should be celebrated in any fashion by anyone. He’s a convicted felon who should be in prison right now—a tyrannical orange monster, with a broken brain.

Honor his name: Raoul Wallenberg.
Wallenberg wasn’t Jewish. He was a successful Swedish businessman who chose to save Hungarian Jews by the thousands from the Nazis.
The Soviets seized him on January 17, 1945, tortured & disappeared him.
A righteous hero.

After a record breaking flood, As governor, she left her own constituents, high and dry w/out National Guard assistance, but she did send the national guard to the Texas Mexico border 1200 miles away at taxpayers expense—5 times!

But what about the crowd size? Isn't this the real reason he's moving indoors? Intense cold could deter the 77 million he would otherwise claim as an audience.

My perspective as a long-term expat is that a core of US citizens value racism more than almost anything else. Devoid of meaningful education and independent thought, the world is right only when they have someone to treat as inferior.
This is why America fell.
Because our public discourse is exchanges like these between two people who have no idea whatsoever what DEI is, could not possibly describe any part of the concept if their lives depended on it, but still have an audience of hundreds of millions as they pretend otherwise.

The GOP's latest attempt to suppress votes: the SAVE Act.
This bill would require citizens to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote, disproportionately affecting the elderly and women who've changed their names.

I've been in the southern Sahara trying to learn more about a mountain that has intrigued me for years. I found a local man who got me as close as one can go by Tuareg Toyota truck. It's called Azaou or "higher than all." So much for a romantic myth about a lady's neck. These other rocks I call WTF!
