Quote

One lucky eBay user recently purchased a stunning Mountain Dew wall clock. 

The clock is in excellent condition. It’s 18 inches in diameter, which is larger than a standard-sized wall clock. It was listed on eBay for $33.35, plus $17.25 shipping. It says “MOUNTAIN DEW” in big letters. Whoever bought it can put it in their kitchen, or a room with a mini-fridge; they can point and say, “It’s Mountain Dew O’Clock” and then Do the Dew anytime.

Also, they can tell admiring guests that the clock was sold to them by a candidate for the United States Senate.

 

 

Quote

Since announcing his Senate candidacy in late summer of 2023, self-anointed businessman Reid Rasner has been barnstorming the state of Wyoming, pressing his case to towns of dozens of people that he’s more MAGA than incumbent Sen. John Barrasso. Over the same time span, it seems Rasner has sold upwards of 1,600 items on eBay, including a Jamal Murray T-shirt, a “vintage” 2XL Ed Hardy hoodie that the buyer complained smelled of “cheap perfume,” countless Christmas ornaments, and a Nazi trinket described in shorthand as “Original from WW2 Reich finance admin.” 

 

Quote

Rasner, 40, is Barrasso’s only real GOP competition, but he’s nevertheless going to get crushed during Wyoming’s primary on Aug. 20. He’s so off-putting that another far-right Wyoming politician—Rep. Harriet Hageman, a Donald Trump sycophant who flattened Liz Cheney in 2022—reportedly sent Rasner a cease-and-desist letter, because his social media posts suggested he’d earned her endorsement (he had not). His public speaking style is best characterized as a somehow lower-energy Ron DeSantis doing a Trump impression.

 

Spoiler

 

But hey, Rasner’s eBay operation is undeniably robust. His recently submitted financial disclosure form—a required document for Senate candidates—shows about $70,000 in eBay store income in 2023 alone. Unlike his Senate run, his eBay store is also well endorsed: 5,100 items sold in total, with a 99.5 percent positive feedback rating. 

And yet, Rasner has glossed over his eBay bonafides. His Ballotpedia pageinstead makes the absurd claim that he’s a “prominent American entrepreneur and political figure, known for his role as the Founder and CEO” of his own financial investment firm. He chose not to tout his eBay wheelings and dealings on the campaign trail until I, a prominent American journalist known for my role as the Founder and CEO of portfolio site Alex-Shultz.com, found his store and asked him about it. (There aren’t very many eBay stores in and around Casper, Wyoming, it turns out.)

“Reid is an entrepreneur and supports free enterprise. His eBay store is an example of what millions of Americans do to support themselves every day,” his campaign wrote in a statement. Rasner declined a formal interview request, though, so I was left to my own devices to trace his political aspirations and, more importantly, dig around his eBay collection for the good stuff. And the other, not-good stuff.

Reid Rasner says he was born and raised in Wyoming. He lived in Nevada for a bit, and ran for city council in Las Vegas, where he garnered 74 votes. He did not win. Now, Rasner is back in Wyoming and gunning for the U.S. Senate, a puzzling attempt at a promotion akin to going from editorial assistant to the editor-in-chief. Rasner was encouraged to make this leap, he’s said, by nameless friends and business clients. 

“I’ve got my finger on the heartbeat I think of not just Wyoming, but of America, and I can really feel the pulse,” he told the Powell Tribune last October.The same month, he sold a cream-colored, medium-sized fedora for $30. “Arrived FAST. In immaculate condition! Could not be any happier!” the fedora buyer wrote. Rasner also sold a pack of Hot Wheels, and a display case, for $20.

On April 24, Rasner’s eBay store sold a She-Hulk eyeshadow palette for $10, to rave reviews. On April 26, Rasner told Cowboy State Daily that he’s traveling 2,500 miles per week as part of his effort to convince GOP voters to embrace him in Wyoming’s primary. He claimed to have awakened at 3:15 a.m. on the day of that interview, and said he’s clocking 16- to 18-hour days, a combination of campaigning and his job at his financial services firm, which is called Ominvest. He did not make mention of his eBay store, which is called Omnisellers, or how many hours a day that takes up while he’s on his Mark Wahlberg grindset. 

Rasner also provided Cowboy State Daily with the platonic reality TV show quote: “I’m not here to make friends,” he said of his insurgent campaign. Rasner’s happy-go-lucky social media photos with Hageman and State Rep. John Bear, among others, certainly imply otherwise. Unfortunately he doesn’t have a relationship with the politicians he was photographed next to, and they were not happy with him after he posted those photos. “What he’s doing is ugly politics,” Bear told Cowboy State Daily on May 3. The same day, Omnisellers sold off a “Chevy GMC Truck Instrument Cluster Speedometer” for $59.96. (“It's perfect just what I wanted,” the buyer wrote.)

On the issues, there’s little daylight between Rasner and Barrasso, the third-highest-ranking member of the Senate Republican Conference, a septuagenarian who stands behind octogenarian Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell at pressers. Both Rasner and Barrasso are Trump loyalists. They are staunchly anti-abortion. Rasner has pointed to his opposition to funding the war in Ukraine, and his call for term limits, as two of the central differences between him and the incumbent. He’s repeatedly criticized Barrasso for (just barely) acknowledging the existence of climate change. Barrasso does not care about climate change, to be clear; he spent years dodging straightforward inquiries about whether it was real, in fact, and worried aloud that a Green New Deal would lead to the end of ice cream, cheeseburgers, and milkshakes. But one time in 2021, he made the mistake of outright admitting climate change is both real and man-made (though we shouldn’t do anything meaningful about it). That was a step too far for Rasner, who recently posted a drawing of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the queen of the Green New Deal, dog-walking her pet, Barrasso.

Unlike Barrasso, Rasner does not have lots of staff and funding. He reportedly has a “volunteer bodyguard” who watches out for him at certain campaign stops for reasons unknown. When I called Rasner in the hopes of doing an interview about his eBay store, what sounded like a 20-year-old kid answered and identified himself as Rasner’s campaign manager. I was connected to his communications director, who was perfectly kind, and also sounded like a kid. 

The point is: I am genuinely perplexed at how Rasner is maintaining a full-fledged eBay store while campaigning around a vast state. I assume he’s got some help at home. Indeed, some of the photos that are posted by Omnisellers include a pair of hands that seem to belong to a person who’s older than 40. Whatever his methods and techniques, Rasner has this eBay stuff down to a science. For upwards of five years, his store has been firing on all cylinders. Rasner regularly leaves reviews of other eBay store buyers and sellers he works with, too: “AAA+ ebayer!!” was the go-to for a while, followed by a temporary switchover (“Great transaction!!!!”), and lately, we’re back to variations of “AAA+ ebayer!!”

Anytime Omnisellers is marketing a knick-knack—like an insanely creepy 1950s Christmas elf or separate, insanely creepy Christmas elf ornaments—Rasner (or whoever is helping him) places a measuring stick next to the item for sale. Omnisellers will also sometimes include a can of chicken soup as a sizing comparison. Many items are photographed on top of a washer. See: This untested hand crank telephone from the 1940s. And this collection of Princess Diana commemorative stamps from around the world. And this sombrero.

There is little rhyme or reason to what Rasner is offering up. Omnisellers doesn’t have many big-ticket items; I didn’t spot anything for more than a few hundred dollars. One of the most expensive listings is a package of 59 Blu-Ray movies for about $250. I have no idea if these are from Rasner’s personal collection, or just Blu-Rays he grabbed and is flipping again. 

That applies to pretty much all of the more than 1,100 items on the Omnisellers store. There’s a healthy selection of clothing, especially shirts that are not advisable to wear in public, like a kid-sized Tennessee Titans Marcus Mariota jersey, a “Life is Crap” T-shirt where a sad stick-figure woman is falling off a motorcycle, and a T-shirt that says “I’m still young enough to chase girls … downhill.” I spotted Crocs with chili peppers emblazoned on them. This 76ers crewneck is actually pretty cool.

I also noticed a fair amount of old-school audio equipment, including $4 Walkman in-ear headphones listed as new, and a set of portable CD playersbeing sold “for parts.” Perhaps my favorite listing, besides the Mountain Dew clock, is the Risk board game, board only, “for replacement or decoration.” For just $9.99 plus shipping and handling, the person out there who has all their Risk pieces but no board can get back to playing the game they love.

It appears that Rasner is making a mistake by highlighting his financial services firm over his eBay business while out on the campaign trail. Financial advice is boring. Nobody cares about the national debt and balancing the budget. Rasner needs to talk about how hard he had to work to obtain a Dale Earnhardt clock, and how he’s trying to make a few bucks of profit off it. Rasner should tout his thousands of solid eBay reviews, and let the world know how quickly he’s shipping stuff out. It’s Rasner’s last and best shot at closing the gap against Barrasso in the month ahead. Or, if nothing else, it’ll help lay the groundwork for his 2028 presidential run. It’ll still be Mountain Dew O’Clock then, too.

I like how all of Rasner's promo material shows the Tetons but he's from the Casper area.   I guess he doesn't like this photo of Casper then:

Need an example see the negs I got on the last page for idk because people are close minded on both sides..  got the most negs on the last page by literally saying the government is watching this site because of things said on this forum…. A couple jackasses we’re like no that’s not true you’re full of shit you Trumpster…. Guess what I wasn’t and I’m not. Close minded as the other side some of yall are and your no better than the people you ridicule or atleast you don’t act like it at all. 

Oh, puh-lease. You got a grand total of 6 negs from 4 individuals spread over 3 posts on the last page. Meanwhile, a fucking Aggie on a Texas board got 56 pos reps in a single post.

Let's do the math: If we are to assume 56 posters read your extended tantrum on that page (it's likely much higher), that means only 7% felt compelled to shoot you the finger.

That's quite the inquisition you suffered from this cabal of the closed-minded.

@Hook1997 Good lord! Look at all that neg you're throwing out. Are you okay?

There were a whole shitload of us who used to be like you pre-Surly, and quite a few even pre-Shaggy if you go back through our posting histories.

At some point in the past decade or maybe a little longer back, something happened, and a whole shitload of us found ourselves having abortions, ODing on Fentanyl, crossing the border illegally (which is weird because most of us are American citizens) and voting for liberals or something.  I don't know what that thing is.

Let me think....what caused a bunch of us to switch sides....

Maybe it was this

or this

or this

or this

Maybe Surly scientists can't crack the equation.

The government literally talked to people from this board about their post…. I don’t get how yall are totally missing the both sides hate but it exists and happens and as also said it’s more than the other side. 🤷🏻‍♂️. But it happens and it happens here more than you like to admit.  And no not all the right is extreme like I said exactly, is it a bigger percentage yes but to say it’s all is the exact same thing they are doing.  

Well, here's the thing.  There don't seem to be any degrees of MAGA.  If you're behind it, you express no reservations about any of it, at least not publicly.

Perhaps more importantly, many MAGA views are not merely extreme, they're disgusting.  They are not something moral people should be reasonably debating. A big part of that is that they aren't considered policy, they're just talking points designed to arouse proponents and detractors and nothing else.

How would you define left wing extremism? Who are the elected officials pushing those extremes? 

I assume you just missed those questions from me and sawbonz earlier. Honest mistake.

It's also a tad ironic to have whining about this from someone who subscribes to the party of "diversity & inclusion is a bad thing" and we should base someone's worth on merit. Well, you guys merit being called weird.

Then act in good faith and participate. Bring up more examples of left-wing extremism in the US. Bring up examples from the current administration or once Harris has an official platform. You keep saying there’s extremes on both sides which no one here disagrees with. It’s extremely frustrating you can’t seem to understand that one side actively lean into that with their rhetoric, e.g. Trump & his allies. 

 

I mean, what do you expect? You really expect that you’re able to make these claims, offer few/shaky evidence and declare this place is too one-sided and run away?

What he actually thinks is leftist extremism is shit like paying to feed poor kids at school, but he's got enough self awareness to know how that would come across so he sticks to bothsides abstractions.

Guys, there's tons of examples of leftist extremism being implemented. Things like litter boxes in schools for the cat-children, abortion after birth, and then mixing those babies with chemicals to make vaccines. Really crazy stuff imo

So I’ve recently had some minor health issues, and some of my relatives came out of the woodwork to offer advice, thoughts and prayers, etc.  One of my cousins called me up Monday, she’s pushing 60 and from Arkansas, and MAGA, and told me about her husband’s experience with the same thing, her advice, etc. I steered the conversation away from that because I’ve heard enough this week.  

Talked about family, some genealogy stuff, etc., and then she steered it toward politics because I’m in liberal Austin, and she laughingly asked if I’d vote for Harris.  I said I liked Harris and would vote for her, because Harris believes the world is round and that we walked on the moon and that boats with batteries don’t electrocute people when they sink.  I got silence and then a “ okay” and then a little more silence and then she mentioned that if we came to the Arkansas game, to give them a heads up and we could stay with them.

So tonight I got some texts from her daughter asking what I meant about the moon stuff and world being round, and she mentioned that her mom had brought it up to several relatives and was asking if Trump thought the world was flat or that we didn’t walk on the moon or about the boats thing.  I told her it was a joke, and she (the daughter) found it amusing.

You all should be throwing this stuff out there at your MAGA relatives. You might get some of them to start openly claiming the earth is flat or that we didn’t walk on the moon because that’s what Harris believes,  

Calling relatives stupid isn't going to help anything except make you feel better in the short term. And if you don't want to interact with them, then just don't.

I don’t. Not anymore. Because their solution to THEIR pain is to inflict pain on others. Fuck em. My only regret is that I’m not one of the people grifting these assholes out of every last penny. Every. Last. Penny.

Yup. This one in particular cracked me up.

Other groups were running scams on Facebook and charging $800 for “redemption cards” with a photograph of Trump’s face and a code that they said would provide secret passage into the underground military bases where medbeds were said to be ready for use.

Its so over the top fucking ridiculous that it must be true. This f'n guy will  probably retire by November while the rest of us grind away. I just imagine some dude at his kitchen table with a $200 ink jet printer.....This un here will be Code #2677AS765. And 2 days later some dipshit aggy will be memorizing his freedom code. Whoop!

It's that part of GenX and other non-boomers that aren't easily hoodwinked. They don't give reverence on no basis. This non-boomer perspective is more promising for the future.

I'm tied to belief and echoes of belief in things that need questioning or don't really exist at all. There are still areas of life where my will to believe something and sadness that the belief may be ill-placed influence my perspective. It's unavoidable for me.

Everyone should read this piece, it's the perfect and plain rebuttal to the "so much for the tolerant left" whining from the fascist fuckholes: https://medium.com/extra-extra/tolerance-is-not-a-moral-precept-1af7007d6376

Quote

Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty. Tolerance is a social norm because it allows different people to live side-by-side without being at each other’s throats. It means that we accept that people may be different from us, in their customs, in their behavior, in their dress, in their sex lives, and that if this doesn’t directly affect our lives, it is none of our business. But the model of a peace treaty differs from the model of a moral precept in one simple way: the protection of a peace treaty only extends to those willing to abide by its terms. It is an agreement to live in peace, not an agreement to be peaceful no matter the conduct of others. A peace treaty is not a suicide pact.

TLDR; you do not get to preach intolerance at every turn, and then demand tolerance for your intolerant views and actions.  You have opted out of the compact, so you don't get to invoke it.

And don’t forget, harvesting adrenochrome from children so that Tom Hanks and Oprah Winfrey can look…*checks notes* like they are in their 60s.

There is a reason why the Qanons, anti-science types, flat-earthers, and moon landing-deniers migrate to the right - the right is more than happy to embrace them for their votes, no matter how batshit they are.
