I'm just gonna put this out there: based on my own personal experience, svelte young Puerto Rican women with serious mental health issues, while not suitable for long-term cohabitation, are just complete feral creatures in the bedroom. If you can stand the flesh-wounds, and the inevitable angry, spite-filled breakup, it is totally worth it. I still have scars.
But I digress...

A group of protesters congregated outside what they claimed was Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s home in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night to chant threatening messages.
Smash Racism D.C., a self-described “anti-fascist” group, posted a video of their members screaming obscenities at Carlson’s house and blaming his “policies” for the deaths of thousands of people.
“Tucker Carlson, we will fight!” the protesters chanted. “We know where you sleep at night!”
In the first video posted to Twitter, one protester can be seen ringing Carlson’s doorbell before running away.
One tweet posted a few minutes after 7p.m. — less than an hour before the beginning of “Tucker Carson Tonight” — accuses the host of hiding because he didn’t answer his door.

Every night you spread fear into our homes—fear of the other, fear of us, and fear of them. Each night you tell us we are not safe. Tonight you’re reminded that we have a voice. Tonight, we remind you that you are not safe either.#KnockKnockTucker

A re-election celebration is underway in Pod 2 of the Montgomery County Jail after inmate number 232573 claimed victory in Texas House District 27. That inmate is known as Rep. Ron Reynolds, D-Missouri City, to the people on the outside.
Reynolds was unopposed in the race for District 27 and the latest vote totals show Reynolds garnered 47,305 votes in Tuesday's election.
Reynolds was booked into the county jail on Sept. 7. He's serving a year-long sentence after a 2015 conviction on five misdemeanor counts of using a middleman to chase ambulances in order to solicit clients for Reynolds’ law firm.
After the 2015 conviction, a county judge handed down the jail sentence to the sitting lawmaker, but Reynolds spent the last three years appealing the conviction. Reynolds’ law license was suspended on May 2, 2016.
Since the convictions were misdemeanors, Reynolds did not have to resign from office. Unless Reynolds' sentence is reduced, he will likely be sitting in a jail cell when the legislature reconvenes in January 2019. Reynolds could miss the entire first year of the 86th legislative session if he's not freed before Sept. 7, 2019.

Pretty sure the collective left's heads are about to explode.

If she has to step down before 2020 this may get cray cray.

So, for instance, Angela Merkel no. But Anna Maria Galojan or Maria Carfagna, very much yes.

Bet they will still be wheeling her into the chambers on a gurney right till the time they unplug the life support monitors.
At this point my money is on Trump outlasting her.

I have to admit that I'm envious of the career-portability which 46% of San Franciscans must have, which allows them to just arbitrarily decide "I think that I shall move to Texas."
I mean, I'd like to leave Chicago (it's snowing today, for example) and yet it's not as though I can just show up in northern New Mexico and say "Ok, I'm here. Someone give me a high-paying job."
