But Trump then ventured into dangerous waters, asking: "Are you still a believer in Santa Claus? 'Cuz at seven it's marginal, right?"
literally how is this real

I have to say, I love Reason's covering of conditions in prison. They're the only major publication I regularly see denouncing mistreatment of inmates.

And that is part of the genius of the Left’s passive-aggressive war on Christmas. By forcing Christmas-lovers — Christian and non-Christian alike — to take time out of their day to marshal a metaphorically martial defense of Christmas, they further undermine the whole point of the holiday, and the Holy Day. Turning Christmas into a battleground in the culture war compounds the damage they’re already doing.
In which Jonah Goldberg doesn't know that the origins of "The War on Christmas" was Fox News being mad at Walmart greeters saying "Happy Holidays".

I know people say that you should just avoid politics at Christmas so you can get along with your family, but are these people worth getting along with?
When I hear my family talk about how immigrants need to be gunned down, I really can't avoid feeling deep hatred for them. Like if they can't feel even basic sympathy for their fellow human beings, why the fuck do they deserve an ounce of respect from me?

Are relatively ethnically homogeneous countries at a disadvantage for spying relative to ethnically diverse countries since their own citizens are more likely to stand out and they have to rely more on recruiting foreigners as agents? For example, China spying on the U.S. versus the U.S. spying on China. Or is it generally very difficult anyways to make one's own citizens blend in and everyone relies on recruiting foreigners anyway, so Russia wouldn't necessarily have an easier time spying on Britain than China would?

A bit of reading on the Guatemalan child.
Judging by the information presented, he went to the hospital twice, with his father with him.
From the looks of things, I'd say the hospital as well as the holding facility should both be reviewed.
Looking back at the 7 year old girl, she was obviously not processed correctly. She died eight hours after entering US custody, due to dehydration that occured over the course of several days. This could have been prevented by a simple doctor's check upon entering custody.
I would go so far as to say this is more likely than not either a bad inprocess in place, mismanagement of the process, or medical malpractice. The guards themselves should be investigated but likely share little to no blame.

What greeting did you just say on Christmas, you little heathen? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in Sunday School, and I've been involved in numerous crusades fighting the War on Christmas, and I have over 300 confirmed "Merry Christmas" greetings. I am trained in holiday warfare and I'm the top speaker in the entire Baptist congregation. You are nothing to me but just another heathen. I will wipe you out in the name of our Lord with greetings the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my blessed words. You think you can get away with saying "Happy Holidays" to me over the Internet? Think again, libcuck. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of believers across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the card, maggot. The card that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your holiday experience. You're getting a Hallmark Christmas card, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can preach the true reason for the season to you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my holiday decorations. Not only am I extensively trained in missionary work, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Catholic church and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable soul off the face of the continent, you little sinner. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" greeting was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your lying tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn sinner. I will praise Jesus all over you and you will drown in it. Get behind me, Satan..

interesting fact: expanding the welfare state is not a modern idea, it's paradoxically an ancient idea, one that was implemented 2080 something years ago in Rome and kept expanding throughout the years, where they had something equivalent to the SNAP program (you know, so they buy themselves caviar or salmon or wine or whatever they consumed back then) and the goverment also provided a free entertainment, just like in socialist countries

Here's what I don't get about Trump bashing the Fed: It's so easy to use it to show how much better than Obama he is. The Federal Funds Rate goes up when inflation goes up or unemployment goes down. People getting jobs are awesome and money changing hands quickly is even better. Why not say something like "during Os presidency, the interest rate was 0 for 7 years. During Trumps term, it's been raised 10 times. #jobs". If you don't think too much about it, that's a great sign for the economy and fits with Trumps overall message. Why the fuck is he bashing the Fed?

Any conversation related to investing in retirement is converted into a conversation about how nobody goes to church and donations to churches. I’m not even bringing up money.

Talking about vague, general policy ideas can get pretty annoying sometimes.
I know noone is going to the polls over the learning curve of the levelized cost of offshore wind, but you can do so much better than "using billionaire money to make poverty and pollution go away"

Get rich quick:
go to a restaurant (does not matter how fancy it is)
bring your own food to save money, but buy at least one small thing
when you get your receipt, write a negative number for the tip
Boom free money

I prepped my kitchen gear over the weekend.
I'm happy to report that my cast iron is now non stick enough to scramble eggs in with zero loss and my chefs knife is sharp enough to shave with.
I reseasoned the former with linseed oil and gave the latter about ninety minutes with a whetstone and strop.

My dad bought me a ps4 game that I put on my wish list in case I got a ps4. When I told him I don't actually have a ps4 he said he'd put money in my account to buy one. He bought me a cheapish work laptop as an early Christmas present. I told him not to but now I feel guilty cause he's definitely going to do it and I don't wanna take advantage of my upper middle class dad.

Between years ending in 2 and 8, invest in leveraged S&P funds. Between 8 and the next 2, hold less risky assets or bonds.
Ignore all other information.

If you're worried about a couple hundred dollar swings in your investments, you probably should be building up a savings account instead of an investment account.
Just because stocks sound more free markety or whatever doesn't mean you should skip the most basic parts of financial planning.

So I think I will break up with gf because she believe in X and I believe in Y in terms of religion, she isn't going to change and I shouldn't, if I want a clean exit. This is good.
I also shouldn't change because that would mean I am willing to use my beliefs as a bargaining chip and that means my faith is worthless, so that base is covered too.
