Re: 2024

56% of Americans say the US is in recession, which it isn't, but that's a technical term, and maybe some mean "things are expensive." But 49% thinking the stock market is down when it's way up, and 49% that unemployment is at a 50-year high when it's near a 50-year low, is crazy. https://...

On the other hand, you get at least the majority of your news from Fox News.

Re: The Travel Thread

Then just go on a kid friendly all-inclusive at one location. Why do you want to be on a boat for over half your experience? Hard pass. Short answer is that the kid-friendly all-inclusives we have been to don't have enough to keep the older kids (or, for that matter, the adults) entertained. When I...

Re: The Travel Thread

But I want all-inclusive (for the kids anyway) for mostly my own sanity - I do not want to have to think about every half-drank $14 slushie by the pool, etc. think of them as streaming services. only order the ones you know you'll watch. I know that doesn't work with kids, but it should. Exactly - ...

Re: The Travel Thread

You wouldn't have to be locked in if you rented a car. Tulum area has history, cave diving, snorkeling, awesome city in Playa del Carmen. Or if even more adventurous, head to Costa Rica, they have numerous all-inclusives there. I've done all-inclusives at DR and in the Bahamas but I don't recommend...

Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago

i don’t think taking the high road with mtg would matter one bit as evidenced by the look on greene’s face, Crockett did a good job putting her in her place generally i’d agree with 99, but not in this case I'm mixed. I love the idea of taking the high road; it's what I teach my kids to do, and wha...

An overcrowded ship of steerage vacationers passing germs back and forth whilst realizing there is no way off and they are in the middle of the ocean. Such fun. Like I said, not at the top of my list. But I want all-inclusive (for the kids anyway) for mostly my own sanity - I do not want to have to...

Re: The Travel Thread

Anyone taken a Royal Caribbean cruise? Not very high on my list, but it’s looking like the line-of-best-fit for a winter break trip given my kids’ ages and Mrs. Fish’s and my desire for more variety than a single all-inclusive.

Re: Charges

Trump declines to take the stand. Trump essentially puts forward *no* evidence against the charges. His entire defense is hoping at least one juror is a true believer. Have to admit I feel a little like we’re standing at the edge of a cliff here. This is not close, legally. A whole lot of hope in Tr...
