  1. Who’s the dumbest person in that room? how would you rank them?
  2. My front fenders have basically a bed liner type material underneath them the rear are still original slop paint and undercoating. My car was not rusted.
  3. All the Oldsmobile Rocket talk and I don’t think I ever posted this one.
  4. OK, let's go into this because at first glance the release says they purged the rolls over the last 20 months. They just announced it this week. I have a few questions not addressed in the article. There was a recent Republican lawsuit against the State Board of Elections (SBOE) for not sufficiently purging the rolls. This press release came out after the lawsuit was filed. Is this the response to the lawsuit in the public arena? If there was no lawsuit would there not have been any press release? They purged 747K voters and now have 7.7MM voters on the rolls. That's a 10% purge. What would be expected due to their stated reasons of: Death Moving out of state Felony convictions Not voting in last 2 federal cycles (inactive) Seems like a short window assuming this is only 4 years. Moved in state and did not update the registration They state "the majority of those stripped from the rolls were deemed ineligible to be registered because they had moved within the state and did not register their new address, or because they did not participate in the past two federal elections, prompting an inactive status." These are the flimsiest of the reasons on the list above. What is the breakdown by county, congressional district, etc?
  5. Lol, if you guys like these kind of games the crack version of it is called Ingress. You capture territory by going to waypoints and creating triangles to cover the ground under the premise of mind control. Pokémon Go was built on the network of waypoints from Ingress.
  6. .257 Roberts I always thought it had pretty striped wood
  7. I still have the 257 Roberts my dad gave me when I was 11. Built on an FN Mouser action. Damned precise rifle. Mine still has an 3 or 4x old Lyman Challenger with the German style post and crosshair reticle.
  8. This is how bubbles are made. People with inflated home values cashing out collateral en mass to buy vacation/rental investment property driving up the price of every house. Tech Boom Enron
  9. Tariffs - They won't raise taxes on Americans, trust me I'm in Business Medicine/ healthcare - Horse paste, shine light on the inside of the body, inject bleach, post term abortions Crypto - We'll write 35 Trillion on a little piece of paper and pay off the debt (Maybe he knows how crypto works) Mexico - will pay for the wall but they're not making any cars War - would not have started if I was in charge, those dictators love me Oil - Drill baby drill, companies will lose money on every barrel but they'll make up for it in volume Inflation - Will drop interest rates on credit cards and that will help people with inflation (Only if he means on existing debt but people will lose credit or maybe he's trying the student loan forgiveness plan but for people with 20K in debt from buying Trump branded junk)
  10. Also got the rear interior done
  11. Couple of cars I saw yesterday
  12. How do you make up for losing money on this trade? Simple answer, volume.
  13. Like we're winning a football game by 2 points with 6 minutes left. Gotta play offense and defense. If you play it right you win by 9 and it looks good. I've heard some judges like RVs and all inclusive trips to foreign resorts.
  14. You forgot about the condition of having to hire Elder Bob’s roofing company to do it.
  15. Trump’s angling for the Haitian Votes. Yes, while wearing a Never Surrender mug shot t-shirt
  16. But was she still in the window for one of those Trump special post birth abortions?
  17. “I won more votes than any sitting president, 75 million” Narrator: Biden won 81 million
  18. Trump = Pro Inflation He'll set up a crypto based mail order service too bad the perfect name is already taken, Amazon. We need to workshop the names, Glamazon, V-bay, realdolls, Epsteingirls, Alibabes...
  19. Interest Rates are one of the Fed's tools in managing the two main economic indicators they track, Inflation and Unemployment. My observation may be wrong but it seems they weigh Inflation as the more important of the two and would tolerate slightly elevated unemployment over high inflation. Raising rates was a move to make borrowing more expensive to get people to spend cash instead of borrowing, this would reduce demand and lower demand would help bring prices down. The balance is to slow spending enough to get inflation in check but not enough to spur mass layoffs from demand falling too much. Driving the economy is more like a boat than a car, you can't stop or turn on a dime, you have to use momentum and velocity changes to make gradual moves to stay in the right ranges. Timing is critical. Both indicators have hit a point where they have to act now or the opportunity to avoid recession will pass. Inflation is near the target 2% and job growth has slowed to where it could get dangerous. From a pessimist POV the 50 point cut could be a signal that they waited too long, they see recession coming and they are trying to overcorrect.
  20. Bill Engvoll had a bit for these people. "Here's your sign"
  21. Yeah, why not alcohol or other drugs that have been around first? Is there something about Fentanyl that lends itself to this vaccine defense that alcohol, heroine or meth doesn't? Or is Fentanyl just in the news enough to get the research funding?
