This is the second picture of someone trying to look hard with a 10/22.
It’s impossible to look tough with a gun my daughter got for Christmas when she was 10.
He’s got $35k in it? Seems like a risky way to carry that much money, but ok.This is what Brisket needs to get The Boy when he gets his license. For about $3500, though- not $24K. Had one just like it when I was in high school. Got about 6 mpg.
I have a 99 F-150. Might be worth $3500, if I leave some nice tools in the toolbox. I’m pushing for that to be the boy’s ride.

"I SWEAR TO GOD I'M WOKE JUST DON'T RAISE TAXES OH GOD!" - Newlibs from NeverTrumplandia
Well, if you hadn’t completely made an ass of yourself, you sealed it with the straw man.
Nobody here is saying “don’t raise taxes.” In fact, what most everyone is saying is that we should consider several approaches, which could be used alone or in combination, depending on the analysis. For example, I think that we should look at 1) raising the cap on contributions, 2) means testing, and 3) raising the retirement age.
There’s wiggle room in all of them. The point is to reach solvency without hurting the people who really need it. That may mean 1) getting more money in from people who can afford it (the only approach you are willing to consider), 2) paying less out to people who don’t need it, and 3) shortening the amount of time over which we make payments, perhaps to get it closer to what it was when we created SS.
But you...Classic “when all you have is a hammer, every problem is a nail.” We get it - TAX THE RICH. The thing is, most folks here don’t oppose that tool, within reason. We just know that solving problems usually requires multiple tools.
If you want to know why Bernie bros have a hard time rallying support, your analysis should start with the mirror.-

The right policy is to provide for the needs of the poor and elderly. If insolvency looms, raise taxes on the wealthy. Only when the wealthy are tapped out do you think about cutting benefits. There. There's your policy talk. You're welcome.
This is brilliant.
Until you realize that the definition of “the wealthy” will be lowered over and over till you’ve bled the middle class dry-

i can't figure out how corbyn still has his job. he's brexiter in leadership of a party of remainers.
Because nobody wants ANY leadership role right now. Every sane person knows that the UK is on a speeding runny shit train to splatsville, and nobody wants to take over for the current conductors, because who wants to be responsible for the epic crash in splatsville? The UK is headed for self destruction, and its led by hundreds of people who refuse to take any responsibility.

It's just like How To/DYI vids. They drone on forever before getting to the nuts and bolts.
Drives my fucking crazy.
Go love the sound of your own voice somewhere else, I'm just trying to find out where the Fetzer valve is you fuck!

They’re not remotely the same. I am reading God in the Qur’an by Jack Miles right now. It’s amazing how different the Qur’an is in telling the stories of Abraham, Joseph, Moses, etc from the real source, the Bible. Of course, Mohammad was an impostor, every great thinker from Maimonides to St John of Damascus called Mohammad out for his supposed prophesy. As Maimonides said, which other prophet of God came with a sword to kill unbelievers.
The Qur’an is the ethos of the Arab people, one based on fanaticism and forced submission to Allah rather than the forgiveness, grace and mystery of the one true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jesus Christ.
I don’t know what’s funnier, Icono actually reading Jack Miles or Icono thinking that he understands it. -
Virginia amended its anti-SLAAP statute in 2017 to allow recovery of fees by defendants on “matters of public concern.” Bring it.

Been following this since yesterday, company, county and city still rolling with "everything is fine", as far as air quality goes. I was in League City yesterday, read that, walked outside to see the black smoke and thought "I dont know guys..."
Well, I mean, the air quality where there ISN'T smoke is fine. That part of the air is a-ok. So, like, on average, it's fine.

Ford is having a bad year in 2018. Its stock is down 29%, and the tariffs imposed by President Trump have reportedly cost the company $1 billion, as the company is in the midst of a reorganization.
Ford takes a $1 billion beating at a time when it can ill-afford it. And it's going to cost jobs. And shareholder value.
Are we winning yet?

Thanks . . . that's new to me. I work pretty close, though, I'll check it out.
They also sell a fresh, pre-made green jalapeno sauce that is better than dona sauce. I'm addicted. I've poured it over crumbled tortilla chips and eaten the whole mess with a spoon. I may have a problem.

We want to do some wreaths and spice blends for gifts this year to send out to family & friends around the country. Where would one buy bulk dried chiles (ancho, chipotle, guajillo and the like) in the Austin area or maybe south around San Antonio? Fiesta seems to be priced as well as any, although they don't have chipotles in bulk (but they do have ~ 1 lb bags).
Actually, Fiesta is priced better than all the mail order shops I've found, not even accounting for shipping, and that's looking at 25 lb prices, which is quite a bit more than I need of each pepper. Fiesta doesn't have a minimum.
It just feels like there should be a roadside stand somewhere . . . my inner (and outer) gringo is not letting me find the mother lode.
There are huge bins worth of them, loose, at La Finca at Lamar and Rundberg area. Haven't priced them vs. Fiesta, but I've bought them there. I THINK they have loose chipotles, but I'm not sure -- I usually buy mine in the can, with the adobo sauce.

Gosh, I am worn out from all the hard work of (checks notes) a few seconds worth of google searches that inform us that the shooter refers to Trump personally as "a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose".

The main thing is that no camp have a butthurt pity party whoever wins. We don't have the fucking luxury of not voting or throwing away "protest votes." I'm not saying team Bernie spoiled 2016: I blame Russia and the unpopularity of Hillary. However, 2016 taught us (libtards) a valuable lesson:
When you are given a choice between the lesser of two evils, take the lesser evil. Lives, livelihoods, liberty, and real shit are on the line. Hold your fucking nose and vote for Bernie, or Beto, or Warren, or literally whatever sentient human being ends up on the (D) ballot. As soon as the D contender locks up a spot, the political sport/primary fun and games are over.
What's cool though is no one in this entire field, the last time I checked, is the biggest conservative lightning rod of the past 30 years. Hillary triggers some mechanism in the conservative brain that just defies rational explanation.
Dude. Imagine if she was also black.
