This is incredibly correct on two counts:
1. Much more dangerous to drive a car than to live in a bad neighborhood.
2. Americans just ignore how dangerous it is to drive. People worry about stuff like "microplastics" but not about driving their car.
This is quite funny to think about.
If you said "I'll never ride in an automobile; it is too dangerous," you'd be considered to be a lunatic.
If you said "I'll never live in a high-crime neighborhood because it is too dangerous," it would be considered a normal position.
But which of these is objectively more dangerous?
Are you more likely to die in a car crash, or to die by murder in America's worst, most violent neighborhood?
Seems to me that if you mitigate risks well on both accounts, driving is still markedly more dangerous overall.
This is simply because even in America's worst areas, genuinely random violence is incredibly rare, and where it might exist, it doesn't generally manifest as murder.
Trump likes to say that people look like their out of "central casting." Like he's hiring actors instead of people to do real jobs.
Stephen Miller definitely does NOT look like an actor, so he must be really competent for Trump to promote him.

Does the United States have any sex/prostitute type spies, or are only evil countries like China and Russia allowed to have them?

Roswell (1999) S01E14
If Roswell were a Woody Allen movie, Katherine Heigl would be the shiksa goddess and Majandra Delfino would be the neurotic Jewish girl that the main character feels more comfortable with (except technically she's Hispanic).

The Cybertruck has been discontinued. @elonmusk could have saved a lot of money if only he consulted the Lion!
A pickup truck that no actual pickup-truck type of person would want to buy.

Roswell, New Mexico is a crappy little city that doesn't resemble the quaint small town depicted in the TV series (where there's only one diner owned by Liz's parents where everybody eats at), but there really is a UFO Museum there.

If you skip past the parts of this series when they are dressed as women, you'll see one of the greatest and funniest workplace sitcoms ever made. Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari had hilarious banter and pefect comedic timing.

I'm optimistic that Stephen Miller will excel at his new job as Chief of Staff.
How many people are still around from Trump 1.0 besides Miller? He must have some talents far beyond being anti-immigration to have survived that long.

World of Warcraft Forever:
The game became a lot easier when I discovered I could buy a wand and inventory bags at Stormwind. Nothing in the game tells you that you can just go to Stormwind and buy that stuff from the Auction House!

Even the Newt says it’s all JD’s fault:
JD Vance’s stunning act of disloyalty by @marcthiessen
Republicans lost in part because the Iran war dragged on. The vice president owns that.

There's irony to the wokeness of the Roswell, New Mexico (2019) series where the actress who plays Maria DeLuca is supposed to look like a Latina.
Majandra Delfino is 100% Latina (Cuban mother, Venezuelan father) while the new actress, Heather Hemmens, is 50% white American.
If only Trump followed my advice, but alas, he didn't.
One lesson of this election is that voters hate hate hate inflation.
If the winner in 2024 wants to win again, they better get inflation under control. Voters will forget an austerity-caused recession at the begining of a presidency, but they won't forget inflation.

My "For you" feed is full of anti-JD Vance posts, probably because once you like a post like this, you get more.
But I do agree with them. It's like JD WANTED an Iranian quagmire instead of finishing them off when they were weak, just so he could blame Israel and the Jews.
It was JD Vance from the start.
He was the leaker inside the White House. He was the one deliberately feeding Trump false information on Iran. He systematically undermined him from day one.
He is a traitor and a backstabber. Trump needs to remove him immediately.
