I live in Florida and I can't even explain it. There are fuckups all over the US, but the ones here in Florida seem to be in a competition that the fuckups in the other states don't evenq know about to be the biggest fuckups in the United States.

It's because it takes a lot of loving up to be run out of queens.

Florida is like one eternal episode of always sunny except the gang is 20 million people. Or whatever the population is.

I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Valentine NE is directly south of one of the poorest (Rosebud) Indian reservations in the country. Might be the poorest??? But I'm not sure. Anyhow, it's hard to be too down on yourself when all you have to do is drive North of town to find third world levels of poverty and realize that at least you aren't dealing with that directly.

It's not too bad of a place to be though. Kind of a nice little town, and there is a decent bar that isn't overrun with drunk Indians.


Fake Edit: I've had a lot of extended family end up dead and/or in jail thanks to the meth epidemic in poo poo hole Nebraska towns like North Platte and Scottsbluff, so I think it's kind of amusing that somebody would move out there to get away from it.

Valentine is a bizarre little town because there's a real sense of "this is the end of the line" to it when you're headed to the Merritt Reservoir, which is a good half hour away. Once you're over the first hill past town you lose mobile data, but by the time you get there you probably haven't had any signal worth a drat for at least an hour. There's some little stores there, nothing big but more than enough to stock up on ice and food, since the little store at the park is really barebones. We tended to just use the oversized convenience store attached to the McDonald's since they had everything we needed and stayed open later.

It's a very nice drive though. Terrain stops being flat cornfields and becomes a weird humped morass covered in what looks like landlocked seagrass and you get the district feeling that it was some ancient supersized tidal shallows some millions of years ago. Big rocky hills here and there, pronghorns bounding along over wire fences, etc. The reservoir is similarly strange because of the juxtaposition of obviously deciduous trees along a white sand beach. I recommend taking the northerly route out of Omaha rather than taking I-80 West and cutting North at whatever interval, since you're getting away from almost everything if you're headed that way and it helps to ease that cutoff since you're passing through progressively smaller and more isolated towns until you pass Valentine after which there are no more.

And jacking up the standard deduction is a wash in states with an income tax while it gives a huge tax cut in the states without an income tax.

Say, don't states without an income tax usually vote Republican?

Florida, but largely for lack of candidates since the FL Dem party is pretty much a bunch of shuffleboard and cataract visor types who have been in their roles since Nixon. It went for Obama twice but Bush before that and Trump after so I would hesitate to call it even all that swingy but it has the potential to send Dems to Washington even if they have none to send to Tally.

I count this as the first sex scandal of the Trump Administration.

Jason Miller, chinless wonder and one of Trump's original liars, was basically a shoe-in to be Communications Director after Trump became President. He backed out of the administration and took a CNN commentator position because of rumors that he cheated on his wife on the road with another campaign surrogate, A.J. Delgado. He basically said that he needed to spend more time with his family.

AND WE HAVE A LOVE CHILD!

Occupy Wall Street was a weird fusion of left-wing and right-wing, with some young guys who were the first to livestream protests at OWS back then drifting over into the alt-right in 2015-2016. I think they were Ron Paul libertarians at the time. Now they worship Pinochet and joke about throwing communists out of helicopters. Ideological evolution is a hell of a thing.

I also remember living in Austin and listening to Alex Jones on the radio (on FM radio there!) about how the "1776 patriots" needed to join OWS and steer it toward Ending Da Fed.

Think of it like an "all roads lead to Alex Jones/RT" kind of thing because it's a coordinated operation to put a thumb on the scale of opposition media and wedge them apart.

Like sure you may start at Bush stealing 2000 but by 2004 you're pretty sure he took advantage of 9/11 so he could steal oil and impress his dad, so maybe it's possible he let it happen, no, he made it happen. All the while those ideas get reinforced by Naomi Klein, Glenn Greenwald, WikiLeaks, RT, and Alex Jones. Sure maybe you aren't on board with chemtrails and weather control but soon enough you're drat sure the bilderbergs run everything and all media is a control system designed to present an illusion opposite reality so everything that gets said in well-sourced journalism is definitely a flat lie and only underground "safe" sources like Infowars, Prison Planet, WikiLeaks, and RT are the truth. Hell, they're the only truth out there, what they publish is the truth.

It's unrealistically cynical but I've seen that slide - Ron Paul, audit the fed, bankers control everything, fake money if it's not gold, the loving final war is on us and only Alex Jones knows it's coming hnnnggghhh. It's all designed to convince people that they're neo trapped in the matrix for lack of a better word.
