I know my county has half a million people but still has 2 lane interstates in many portions

They already have facial recognition. Now it’s “ad recognition”….

Someone asks a question and the only answers are along the lines of "Yes, I agree with you" or "No, I'm an idiot."

The asker is basically fishing for compliments from like-minded people and has no interest in listening to opposing view points.

He lived in San Francisco after attending college at Yale - two marks of what the MAGA movement traditionally consider as being from the "elite" and "woke". He has NO legislative or executive experience other than the past 17 months in Senate where GOP colleagues have described him as "green" and "trying his best". Democratic senators describe their interactions with Vance as surprisingly cooperative and productive, focusing on specific issues where they can find common ground leading to accusations of being a RINO.

Quotes from Hillbilly Elegy:
"What separates the successful from the unsuccessful are the expectations that they had for their own lives. Yet the message of the right is increasingly: It's not your fault that you're a loser; it's the government's fault."

"Whenever people ask me what I'd most like to change about the white working class, I say, 'The feeling that our choices don't matter.'"

"We don't study as children, and we don't make our kids study when we're parents. Our kids perform poorly in school. We might get angry with them, but we never give them the tools—like peace and quiet at home—to succeed."

I'm just glad he didn't choose a woman to be his VP

It seems very fake to me, it seems like almost the perfect set up to get the photo he will certainly milk.

There has been some criticism of the secret service whose job it was to protect President Trump, especially the female contingent. There is a photo of a female secret service officer hiding behind president Trump as shots were being fired instead of protecting him. Generally, just as women are not as tall as men, they are more fearful. And they don't have as quick of reflexes. Moreover, men are more likely to have a killer instinct that would obviously be useful as a secret service agent. What do you think?

Conservatives want to target supply in the war on drugs. They don't want legalization and oppose tax-payer funding for treatment and education.

This creates a black-market for the drugs. The black markets are run by foreign drug cartels in Latin America. To escape the violent cartels, families flee their homes and come to the US as they are desperate to find safety and start their lives away from the cartels.

Conservatives don't want to make it easier for these people to enter the US legally, so they enter illegally. Conservatives then rail against illegal immigration - much of it caused by the war on drugs they support.

It's been confirmed Trump's shooter is a registered Republican, but there are rumors circulating he donated to act blue, which is a Democrat owned organization used for fund raising.
