Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

I think I could swing it, but I do have certain requirements. Like these offshore recruiters pitching me jobs in Dubai. I don't care that Dubai doesn't have an income tax, my wife and I still aren't moving to Repressed Islamic Vegas, thanks.

Unfortunately, a lot of the European jobs I've seen in my area of expertise require proof of at least B1/B2 fluency in the vernacular, and neither my Spanish nor my German are up to scratch any longer. I should probably should invest some time and money in refreshing at least one of them, especially now that you can hire a native tutor remotely from numerous online services.

Yeah I’m brushing up on all of my European languages

The UAE is pretty tolerant. Just don't be an idiot in public or do something like preach another religion and you should never have to care one iota about religion. There's even alcohol.

I get that Dubai is more liberal than the rest of the Islamic world, but it's still not for us. The weather alone is a nonstarter, I would melt in the Apr-Nov heat.

I was there overnight in August. Went outside the hotel at night and I was still like, OMG.

The short times I had in Dubai, I enjoyed it, but more as a tourist. Once, it coincided with the Abu Dhabi GP, so I naturally had to extend the trip (on my own dime) to attend that.

There are a number of people at my company who live there (our Middle Eastern HQ is located there), and they never complain when it comes to living there.
 
I worked in Bahrain for a year and it does take getting used to, but once I did I could walk around at lunchtime with my suit coat on.

But I can definitely understand why that part of the world wouldn't appeal to everyone for various reasons.

It’s rumored that Trump is going to show up at Wrestlemania tomorrow…

I saw that rumor...it doesn't help that everyone who runs that company and half the wrestlers are full on MAGA turds.

I watch AEW who is much more inclusive and liberaI (not perfect but they are what CM Punk pretends to be which is why i am glad they fired his whiny crybaby arse) I have hated The Fed since 1997 so I follow it enough to hear this stuff but am also very biased against their racist, sexist, rapist company.

I don't think it will happen though. WWE is having problems with PR already as proven by the fact that they spent all week whining about their competition and not promoting their big two day event. (Which rumor was had attendance issues) After Hogan got booed in LA after Trump won I don't see them making that mistake again especially when rumor is the Raw views on Netflix are well below expectations. (I think dome numbers were released but I never trust Netfix) TKO is dumb (even by wrestling standards) so it could happen but long run it would hurt way more than help. Internationally, outside of Saudi Arabia, it would nuke them and Netflix won't like that.
 
America is so fucking dumb.

Their big events (WrestleMania, Summerslam etc.) rely somewhat on international audiences traveling to fill out attendance.

Isn't it in Vegas? They should crush there...Summer Slam is here this year I think. Thank God I don't work at US Bank Stadium.

No way they could hide Trump going to Vegas. If he is showing up the cat will be out of the bag long before night 2 starts. Peacock would love that.

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

I don't care what consultants and polling says...if Dems said stuff like this people would follow.

reagan/bush judges: "this administration's shocking arguments would reduce the rule of law to lawlenssness" neocons: abolish ICE david brooks: communist manifesto Dem leadership, top liberal consultants/pundits: the latest NYT/Ipsos has Trump up +4 on immigration, +9 with noncollege men
