There was one cop I felt sorry for. Every time he went around a curve, his Plymouth turned into a Pontiac or vice versa. Can you imagine being in the middle of a curve and your cop spec Torsion-Aire suspension turns into four squishy coils with a four-link nightmare out back? Talk about pucker factor! Back to television.

I don't know why it never occurred to me before. But while we may have more different things we burn fuel to do than ever before, we use it more efficiently than ever before. We do more, but we also do more with less. I don't suppose there's any way to quantify that...

Every mam dies, not every man truly lives... I'm not sure if I'd be more upset at this point in my life by dying at another person's hands than I would be at dying at the hands of another person who couldn't actually speak English.

Taste of Armageddon meets Mirror Mirror.

Doom and gloom are agony on me. Good. I'm honestly relieved to hear that.

Well sure. That's all part of the general strategy. Take the ground out from under people's feet so they can no longer tell one thing from another. Neutralize their cognitive reach by keeping them ignorant of all standards, save the one that says there are no standards. This destroys everything in a man; his faith, trust, innate intelligence because he has nothing solid against which to work it. Not unlike muscles, a mind rendered idle atrophies. We are in the hands of the devils that scared Satan from hell such that he's now at Heaven's gate, tearily begging asylum from an evil that left him paling. Certainly so of Biden. Trump, I'm not yet quite convinced on, though his failure to drain the swamp was indeed a spectacular fiasco.

One thing you have to admit about this clown show. They make it extremely difficult to tell which, if any, cigar is just a cigar. At least we know this much: Both Biden and Trump have already had their turns to screw us, and both took full advantage of it.

OK, simmer down. Let's look at a recent fact. RFKJ suddenly changes to "independent" (how potentially ironic) shortly before a very important election (as elections go, anyhow). Recall the words of the filthy communist shill, FDR, who candidly quipped that in politics there was no such things as coincidences. I do not say that this closes the door on the man, but it certainly gives much upon which to keep one's eyes. Now consider the possibility that everything we see is theater... everything significant, that is. Imagine that the Democrats see they are going to lose in a big way and sense that maybe they won't be able to get away with yet another stolen election. What shall we do? Have one of our... <AHEM> trump cards come out to play. Out of nowhere, the great Kennedy name drops from the DNC sleeve, but knowing their credibility is slipping badly, the new candidate declares independence in the effort to enhance credibility of trustworthiness. After all, this is a Kennedy! We instruct him, perhaps years in advance (after all, these people are careful planners, IMO), to begin spewing a carefully architected litany of talking points that will get conservatives going "hmmm...", the goal there being to siphon off just enough votes to once again make credible a stolen election appear "clean". Clean enough to avoid consequences, that is. Wild, you say? Too wild? Sure, and FDR didn't taunt Japan into attacking us. Northwoods never happened. Tonkin. Weapons of mass destruction. Lusitania. Russia 1917. China 1940s-70s. Khmer Rouge. Amin. Gulf wars. 9/11. Covid. Shall we go on with the drearily long list of grand conspiracies in which nobody believed until after the rotten facts became what we now know them to have been?

We all will.

They think they have absolute control over what comes next, and it might be true. But there are people in the nation just as smart as any of them, who are looking hard for the right place in their works, and the right monkey wrench to toss in. I'm talking about the kind of people who won't be swallowing any of your black pills until after the fat lady is done singing.

Yeah, I understand that. What you don't understand is, when the Democrats obviously steal it in the middle of election night, that's not the end. That's the beginning of this shitstorm.

A WWI dogfight was worthy of the name, with aircraft grappling at incredibly close quarters trying to get enough .303 rounds into the other machine to bring it down. Mock dogfights these days can't be so definitive. Two aircraft with similar missiles and radar/weapon control lob missiles at each other from far away, and the one who can evade the missile wins. Maybe they both win, maybe they both lose. Either way, the military isn't going to tell anyone exactly how good their new toy is at doing it.

Dude. He posted a clip from a show called "Hee Haw". Don't be a 'tard yourself. The man's practically Burros R Us.

Called it. Trump does have one thing going for him this round. People, they arrogant pricks are so sure they have our number that they're literally fomenting revolution. Revolutions determine the quality of life of our progeny for generations. We can't take advantage? We shouldn't be falling for their program to lower our expectations. We should be trying to raise people's expectations.

It's so easy to outflank Trump from the conservative side that even the Crown Prince of Camelot can do it.

"Jewish people in the (U.K.) Labour Party are far, far more likely to be suspended than non-Jewish people." We were discussing in another thread the new phenomenon of "anti-Semitic Jews".

The campaign to heap dubious rape allegations on the Palestinians is interesting in light of the fact, if the reports are to be believed, several mideastern countries have taken all their rapists out of prison and exported them to a very accommodating European Union. It makes such a propaganda campaign easier for Europeans to believe. Drumming up support for genocide. This is indeed an evil joke they're playing on us.

Is this the branch of the family that's actually scared of being shot? Or is there a different explanation?

Could only happen in a cashless society. No wonder they're deliberately crashing the currency.

Ever look to the west and see a wall cloud approaching? All this and we know they plan to use the resulting chaos to impose all kinds of tyranny. The rednecks have a name for this feeling. They call it pucker factor.

I'm not talking about his positions. Hell, he doesn't really have any. In 2016 he was spewing tweets on every side of every issue. This time he hasn't come down firmly on a damned thing but money for Israel. Which was one thing more than I expected from him. I'm talking about his Master of Apprentices persona. I'm talking about watching that develop. I haven't seen footage of Phillip Whazisname before he became Dr. Phil™, and hell, RFKJr was born a public figure. But I have seen Trump when he wasn't putting on this act, and I find it interesting.

It's interesting to go back to the interviews of soft-spoken Democrat Trump in the Eighties. Then you can catch some through the Nineties and beyond and see him adapt to and perfect this Master of Apprentices character.

LOL Perfect. Do you get the credit for that, or did autoincorrect correctly identify her as a Karen?

Look around you. It's not 2016 any more. Back then they merely cooked numbers, quick-fried them to a crackly crunch. Things change. Now they're just plain making shit up.

So? You put more faith in that shit than you did when you were saying "Fuck you Frank" in '08? Remember what they said in '16? I wasn't talking about you.

People are starting to get off their asses, and the clown show is the reason why. Reinstalling Trump is more likely to cause them to sit their lazy asses down again. That's why Trump is being set up to pull down an honest, undeniable landslide, so we will sit down and do nothing while they build FEMA camps. If not, I do think that the swamp will drain him. Regardless of whether he goes in intending to drain it, he will have to. Deciding not to could be the last thing he ever does.

That's what I have been saying all along is the fallacy of MAGA. Politicians did not make America great in the first place, and as it has cycled up and down, they were never the ones who made it great again. You think Trump sucks at picking only the best people. I think he picked the team that would do what he wanted to do. Either way, it doesn't matter much. Government needs purged. Trump is not the hand grenade so many people thought he was in 2016. He didn't even rise to the level of a monkey wrench in the Deep State works. Reinstalling him and expecting a different result looks to me like collectively living the definition of insanity. Will RFKJr. do better? That's something we don't already know. But we do know that he, very much unlike Trump, Must Not Be Named. And I came away from 2008 and 2016 considering that a very good sign. Another pair of signs I see also gives me food for thought. Trump has not only demonstrated a willingness (maybe even a desire) to resort to draconian measures, but his base loves him for it. They accept the necessity of draconian actions when he does them without question and treat anyone who does ask questions the way liberals treat dissenters.

Sounds good.

And even if there are more drivers, that doesn't mean there is more driving. As OPEC taught us in 1974.
