In Mexico. Last night my friends asked me if I had seen people walking, which I hadn't. Apparently over the last few weeks several thousand people have walked the entirety of coahuila. Apparently the governor of the state has an agreement with Abbott that if anyone even LOOKS like a migrant, it's illegal to carry them in train, bus, truck, taxi or uber, forcing them to do the dangerous mountain passes and the chihuahuan desert on foot. This helps "solve the problem" of migrant deaths on the texas side. I haven't heard ANYTHING about this in english media

Where were you? I definitely saw them when I was visiting Monclova this past weekend . I saw they also setup wells alongside the roadside for them to get water.

It is interesting that Ted Cruz, who never says a thing that he doesn't think will ingratiate himself with the Christian right wing, is comfortable with this position. Kinda shows where the party is in that regard. They should still repeal DOMA tho.

I want to be clear here: Ted Cruz is a charlatan who leverages support with the world's most gullible people, evangelical Christians. He is not himself one, though he may profess it, but he is quite aware of what to say and how to say it to be perceived as part of the club. So, him saying that means that he doesn't think that going to the mat on this particular issue will help him with evangelicals, which gives us an indication of where that bloc is. Though like two weeks ago he was talking about how Obergefell was wrongly decided so who the gently caress knows.

Ted Cruz is trying some things out and seeing how they resonate, and if he gets more time on the news (or whatever his metric is) by being a thing, he'll be that thing. It's not like anyone remembers anything on the right or brings up anyone's record ever.

Remember all that poo poo he said about Trump, immediately before giving him the moistest kiss in the GOP?

That will just let him play both sides once he waits to see where the winds are blowing so he can (in his mind) always be on top.

When I went on my senior class trip to Germany, they had little vending machines all over the place selling smokes, not like the machines we used to have here, but like five brand kiosks bolted to random walls. They were selling Lucky Strikes, so being an American in Germany I thought it only right and proper that I smoke what the Greatest Generation smoked when they were over there. Turns out they were the best cigs I ever had, like a buttery flavor, just tremendous. Smoked em the whole time I was there. Get back to the states, go into a c store to get a pack of Luckies (said insouciantly and to the delight of women in earshot) and I guess they don't make em the same way over here because they were fuckin garbage.

One of the most successful projects of the American government for the public good was coming down hard on smoking and dramatically reducing the amount of smokers and reducing the affordability and availability of cigarettes.

It's bizarre to me how vaping is catching on among the youths, because Humphrey Bogart never vaped. I, like everyone else in the world, started smoking to feel more grown up and to look cool (and it works!) Vaping looks loving stupid and instead of a thin cloud of disrespectful smoke punctuating your bon mots, you're obscured in a cloud of mango flavored loser juice

Smoking and vaping makes you look dumb but in different ways and who cares, so long as people treat their public vaping like smoking, as in, do it over there, I don't care.

Also you're right that it ain't as good as any random corner stall in Munich, but there are a lot of places north of Harwin, south of San Felipe and east of Gessner, west of Fountain View to get some pretty good kebabs and related food.
