This monster was born in Texas, it is clearly a domestic religion.
Senator Mitt Romney has been a vocal never-Trumper all along.
Just because you swear an oath doesn’t mean you will feel like sticking your life on the line to sneak past the secret service and assassinate a domestic enemy president. At best, the military might refuse some unlawful orders.
Incarceration doesn’t disqualify candidates. Eugene Debs ran for president from prison in 1920 and won 3.5% of the vote.
It costs $7 million for a 30 second spot. The Super Bowl is the only event where you can find 1/3 of America watching it, including many who are not into sports but dragged by loved ones to a Super Bowl party, so advertisers have a long history of trying to come up with the most flashy, catchy, outlandish, high production ads they can produce in the hopes that it sticks in the audience’s mind and gets people talking about it so they will tell the other 2/3 of America about talking frogs or whatever the hot new thing is. Each year there are whole articles out there about “this year’s best Super Bowl ads”.
You have to keep in mind that American football is extremely suited to ads with all the breaks in play, so it has been a favorite of advertisers for a long time. I don’t know why so many people fell in love with a game with so little action in the first place, but this is the end result of that.
One option that is kind of a middle ground is to learn a craft. Knitting, crochet, making fly fishing lures, sculpting.

There was opposition to a solar farm near me that ultimately still got built. I had no idea there were lots of outright bans on building wind and solar now, this is pretty alarming.
“I mean, yes, I’m a brown girl that grew up in a small rural town in South Carolina who became the first female minority governor in history, who became an UN ambassador and who is now running for president. If that’s not the American dream, I don’t know what is,”
She likely wouldn’t have been the “first female minority governor in history” hundreds of years after the founding of the US if we didn’t have a long history of racism and sexism in the country. Nice of her to include some contradictory evidence right in her statement.
There are 435 voting members from states and 6 non-voting members who represent US territories like American Samoa, so likely at least 435 pins and maybe a handful more. That comes to a little over $90/pin.
At one point I had every other Friday off and even having the three day weekend only every other week was really refreshing and such a nice break. I miss it, I've been hoping it becomes more common.
