@LOTR_Daily_ He's not describing the tree. He's telling the story of something that happened at the tree. Right before he then spends five pages telling the story of a brook a few
paces beyond the tree.
It depends on your definition of "been to," I think. Some of these cities I have only driven through or laid over at the airport. But as far as spending enough time to have a good meal, I have a solid 22-23.
@JonahDispatch Not to mention Escape from New York (1981
0, in which New York was so far gone that they literally walled it off and dumped all the worst criminals and crazies in there to get rid of each other.
@EricLevitz Whose wages rose? Not mine. "You shouldn't be discontented because somebody else is making more money somewhere" isn't the persuasive argument you seem to think it is.
@yourfavrie Feminism in its modern form is a conspiracy theory that believes, at its heart, that men really ARE superior to women, in every way, but women should be treated equally anyway.
The rule of law — respect for it — is a key ingredient of conservatism. The nat-pop Right, and others, have no time for it. Who cares about the law when you’ve got things to smash? Our country needs, among other things, a recovery of conservatism. Honest, American conservatism.

Never in my life have I so thoroughly sided with Europe in a disagreement with the United States. They are right and America is in the wrong here. The White House is behaving dishonorably, and the legislators who know it but do nothing are cowards.
Every "Norm!" on Cheers. What people never seem to remember is Diane waiting a beat until after everyone else had finished shouting to say, "Norman." She could never be part of the crowd.

For those unhappy that we failed for the second time to elect a woman president, cheer up. Given all the hysterical pronouncements, unnecessary drama for its own sake, and constantly changing whims, it's pretty obvious we did elect a woman president. @realDonaldTrump
@PressSec Pres. Trump and VP Vance are afraid of the U.S.'s enemies, so they bully their allies to look "strong." But Trump's diction is excellent, considering how far his tongue is stuck up Putin's ass.

Does @Salon have editors? Multiple grammatical and spelling errors in the first three paragraphs make me wonder. They also don't help convince me of the author's thesis.
Before studying Korean in the Army, I took a couple of semesters of German in college. My trick for writing sentences with German grammar: I composed the sentence the way Yoda would say it, then dropped in the German vocab. It worked surprisingly well.
