Ha! Gotcha!
No, you need to move OUT of DC, not entrench yourselves their.
I'm making over $7k a month working component time. I saved hearing other people inform me how lots cash they could make online so I decided to look at it. Well, it turned into all proper and has definitely modified my life.

"No, you need to move OUT of DC, not entrench yourselves there."
Seriously.
They need to detox somewhere like rural Idaho, not move deeper into the belly of Leviathan.
It would be nice if some of them lived and worked in the United States.
Plus: Is Veep more realistic than House of Cards?
I talked about this years ago, and the answer is a resounding "yes".
In fact, I think I once even said, "everyone in DC thinks they're living in House of Cars, but they're really living in Veep."
And, I believe a journalist said in a podcast when being interviewed (and I really wish I remembered who she was) but she said, "DC is chock full of sub-par talent people who believe they're all living in House of Cards."
House of Cards is about Evil but competent.
Veep is about vain, shallow, narcissistic and incompetent.
Veep is by far the most realistic show about politics ever made.
"Legacy!"

Forget about the Jones Act, you should see what COVID Policy did!

A very different time for Reason. Very different.
"The killer was soon identified as James Wenneker von Brunn, an 88-year-old neo-Nazi"
Does neo apply here?
He would have been ten years old when WWII ended, so, yeah, he would have to be neo.
NO, he meant the age of the person. I can be a neo-Beatles fan at 70 if I first hear them then but that could not be the case with the 86-year old. So it CAN"T refer to him,can it
I am increasingly proud of Katherine, Austin and Peter Bagge as time goes on...
