Play nice!
morning y’all
so my truck is about dead
gotta get some $ and do some shopping
fuck
it’s been over 20 years since i have had to carry a car note
as marvin the martian said
“this makes me angry, very angry indeed!”
it needs more things fixed on it than the truck is actually worth
Mornin’ rol.
Sorry about the truck.
We’re going on a Walmart run.
Any ideas?

We’ve got a vehicle like that, Fed Jr. is driving it. However, fixing it is more cost effective than finding something else and having to deal with problems we don’t know about.
So I got rear ended on the way back from walmart. Yay
@ Deplorable Bumr50:
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it can be resolved quickly
@ AZfederalist:
Extremely minor. Not money wise, but just a bumper and a gigantic rear clip.
Everything works.
Motorcycle wipeout in front of us causing chain reaction.
Pray for him.
@ Deplorable Bumr50:
Yikes. I’m glad you’re ok. Sorry about the insurance paperwork
@ eaglesoars:
Thanks. Everything’s pretty easy these days. We were both on our way within half an hour. His little Passat took the worst of it, but he wasnt even leaking any antifreeze.
I’m just happy he HAD insurance.
Deplorable Bumr50 wrote:
Absolutely.
Good news is that it won’t be considered your fault so the other person’s insurance should take care of your vehicle.
@ AZfederalist:
Yep all good.
Also the CRV is still totally driveable, so no dealing with any rental car or not having a vehicle nonsense, at least not for too long.
Remember: Guns are the problem
I’m not sure America will survive.
If Trump wins, the left will start a war.
If Biden wins, the left will implement all their radical, extreme, ridiculous ideas and the country is finished.
@ right_wing2:
…which will also result in a war.
@ right_wing2:
The Left has already started a war
If Biden wins, the Right will finish it
@ right_wing2:
I think this is basically the election of 1860 all over again.
Whoever wins, half the country is going to consider him to be illegitimate, because both sides are convinced the other can’t win unless they cheat somehow.

Despite having academia, corporations, media and both political parties against him, I don’t think Trump will lose. The hysterics from democrats & RINOs indicate they know something the rest of the public does not and it terrifies them.
Its jobs versus social justice for all. They are incompatible. Trump is basically that a job solves most peoples problems. Biden is no one needs a stinking job when they have rioting concerns.
@ Buckeye Abroad:
But I think will be most interesting is to see if Trump manages to capture a higher percentage of the black and Hispanic vote then he did for years ago given all the endless drumbeat of “Trump is a white supremacist” that we’ve had.
@ Buckeye Abroad:
If you’re talking about actual votes cast by actual eligible voters, no.
But will he beat the margin of fraud?
lobo91 wrote:
I’m not sure even that’s enough.
What if the media reports fraudulent numbers? Biden doesn’t actually have to win, he just has to be SEEN to win
@ eaglesoars:
Vote by mail even just at the state level is a can of worms. The media then can yes run with a fake result.
@ eaglesoars:
I know it’ll never happen, but I wish all results were held until polling places in Hawaii had closed.
@conceptualjames deconstructed BLM and critical theory.
https://newdiscourses.com/2020/07/woke-wont-debate-you-heres-why/
Complex read. Makes my head hurt. The gist of it to me is that we need to bitch slap BLM and its fellow travelers in the ivy leagues if we want to remain 50 states.
They wish to use liberals and the media to tip the country into total collapse. Thus the riots of opportunity in a time of pandemic. Perfect fertile ground for the real Russians and Chinese money and influence. The people accusing Trump of being influenced by Russia are the actual ones being influenced by Russian and Chinese money.
Every decent person that supports BLM accelerates the collapse and loss of their own avocation and family.
In the separate world of critical theory there are no peaceful protesters. The illusion of peace exists solely to gain a destructive foothold on your own welfare.
They are going to have to be confronted and totally beaten back. Its a no mercy situation.
@ darkwords:
critical theory is just Habermas/Frankfort school bullshit that promises liberation from whatever it is that enslaves you.
Which, in my experience, was pretty much the fight for tenure.

Nevada just set up conditions to ensure the democrat vote fraud machine can swamp out any Trump margin:
https://twitter.com/AdamLaxalt/status/1289416556171034628
Gov. Sisolak and the NV Dems called a special session with no public present and inside 24 hours are ramming through mail-in balloting and ballot harvesting. They are massively altering our election 97 days out entirely without the SecState. They are working to steal our election

That what happens in Australia and NZ!
The count begins when the polls close. No electioneering on election day or outside Polling places. Scrutineers from all parties participate in the overseeing of the vote count. Independent apolitical and beyond reproach High Court Justices (retired) do all of the demographic changes in electorate boundary alterations to prevent gerrymandering. Counted votes are held until the vote is settled and then destroyed by the Police under all Party representatives’ oversight.If a vote is close either side can ask for a judicial recount.
Works for me!”:)
Oh and NO MACHINE VOTING .
Paper votes only!
@ Aussie Infidel:
Of course, New Zealand has a total population smaller than several of our cities, and only one time zone. Some things don’t scale up that well, unfortunately.

@ Gateway Pundit
Good morning, I wish that I was sleeping.
the Dems have started to lay down a rational why Biden should not debate Trump.
it is not because Biden is a silly old fool with cognitive issues, right?
If Trump bands the tiktok app, how many millennials will be mobilized to vote for the senile fool Biden?

trump will destroy that senile scumbag. its really not fair and aint gonna be pretty.
@ right_wing2:
I suspect if that’s the limit of their cognitive ability, they weren’t Trump supporters to begin with
Apropo of nothing: I rarely cook full meals for us anymore, mostly I make healthy snacks/salads we can eat on the go. If you’re on twitter, there’s something called @tasty that I got a really easy, inexpensive recipe from, garlic bread pizza. It’s based on the sliced, frozen garlic bread easily available (e.g. Texas Toast) and you can improvise out the wazoo. We loved it.

And there are more recipes there I’ll try too.
I’m smoking a couple racks of beef ribs today, followed by a whole chicken

All Trump has to do is say something to the effect of “I’m not sure it would be fair to debate him, I don’t think he could handle it and I don’t want to embarrass the man”
The debate would be the next day

mmmm, smoked chicken……….

Extinct in New Zealand
New Zealand little bittern Ixobrychus novaezelandiae 1890s New Zealand
But can still be found in the firelands of Portland OR and Seattle Wa in the continental United States. “Obnoxious Liberalis Bittern” known to clog voting systems.
@ eaglesoars:
Is August the time to put the pedal to the metal as far as an election push by Trump?
I’m not seeing any Democrats being convicted of anything so that seems to be a red herring as far as I can tell. Trump might need to hire Vlad the Impaler’s grandkids here.
Anyone getting contacted by political entities.
State dems and moveon both contacted me in the last month to make sure I vote.
GoP is silent. I have the Trump app on my android though and get a personal message from Trump everyday!!! Strange thing though it did motivate me to donate even though I thought I wouldn’t be persuadable. And I am in a blue area overall and am motivated to vote no matter what. Not going to let this election slide by and not do the right thing for the country.
I am a U.S. citizen and a resident of California and at least 18 years old.
I am not currently in a state or federal prison or on parole for the conviction of a felony.
I am not currently found mentally incompetent to vote by a court.
I understand that it is a crime to intentionally provide incorrect information on this form.
The information on this form is true and correct.

Lol.. My insurance company has been mailing me premium refunds this year in the postal mail. I went all electronic in their program a few years ago. I usually just tossed the paper statement without opening it. I know. I know. I opened one today and there is a $20 check in it. So as far as I can tell I’ve thrown away $140 this year. That’s 6 bottles of Bushmills. It seems outrageous when I think about it that way.
@ eaglesoars:
I was thinking targeted ads and a get out the vote effort. What I read is that voter registration is the key effort. I’d clarify the BLM threat to the country’s foundations if I could. NO stone unturned but a few pardoned.
@ eaglesoars:
I’m wondering how Trump manages the mass hysteria being flamed by the media? Or if its even possible.
darkwords wrote:
… and that’s what it is at this point, mass hysteria. While number of positive tests may be going up, mortality is way down. If this were anything other than a get rid of Trump effort, the media would be playing up the positives and pushing to normalizing things again.

I think voter registration is more a Republican Party issue. As for targeted ads, they may already be doing it, but I just am not in the target demo so I wouldn’t see it.
winner of the innernut for the day
You keep saying me not wearing a mask is killing you.
It’s been months. How much longer is it going to take?

yes, that got the biggest laugh of the day out of me.

You notice how many of the rioters are supposedly right wingers acting to discredit a peaceful movement.
