Re: US Politics Thread
I like Nevada, but I also think flyover country has the most beautiful scenery. Seattle was the perfect balance for me.
Seattle is a lot of $$$$. May still move there one day though.
Utah is one of my favorites, but the air pollution is some of the worst in the country during the winter months. I'm also not a big fan of Mormons.
Southern NV has it all for me: Mountains, outdoor lifestyle, entertainment, good weather, great food, affordable housing and great location. I can ski here, or go to Utah in a couple of hours. Grand Canyon, Arches, Moab, Zion, SoCal are all close by. Northern Nevada (Reno) is a totally different animal. Small city, no real traffic to speak of, amazing outdoor lifestyle, Tahoe, decent food choices and close to San Fran (beautiful drive.) The cost of housing is much more though and it's cold most of the year. Most people like one city and not the other. I actually like both for different reasons. After living in both places, and even though I prefer cooler weather, I'd pick Vegas.

They have it all but their water source is in danger.

Tucker Carlson just absolutely destroyed the attorney general for Washington DC on this immigration travel ban decision. Perhaps he should have been the one representing the government. Total beat down
Re: US Politics Thread
Funny story, I was on vacation in Tahoe when the '06 leaks happened lol. I wasn't checking the net (didn't have a laptop at the time, how times have changed with mobile phones), any came home & logged on here or Roses of Velvet, whichever it was and was like Whoa, what?? Anyway it was beautiful, I don't travel much but really was the best place I'd say I ever visited. Mexican food was the bomb! A few years ago I was in Vegas, can't say I was much of a fan. Hate the whole club/VIP/who are you? scene.

Re: US Politics Thread
Some lawyer should sue the US on behalf the girl who was a US citizen in the Yemen raid. They harmed her and apparently due process applies to foreigners. Bring the entire case to its knees. Hopefully Gorsuch is approved before it reaches SCOTUS, though I'm very eager to see the 4 justices strike this down after approving the massive expansion of authority over immigration they thought Obama had.

Her father and brother were US citizens. I don't think she was. Her brother was 16 and was killed under Obama.

No voter fraud at all. Illegals certainly wouldn't try to vote.
