I agree, but there is a difference between appointing people with different partisan points of view, and appointing unqualified people who want to destroy their own departments.

That’s not usually the case with positions like this. Most people appointed to be Secretaries are experts in their fields. Hell, Obama had Nobel Prize winners! This administration has thrown all that away and appointed incompetent/malicious idiots.

It has to do with budget reconciliation. I believe this is being passed under FY2017 budget reconciliation rules. Then they’re going to do tax cuts under FY2018 budget reconciliation rules. That way they can use the savings in health care to enable them to do a bigger tax cut, and can pass both without worrying…

*waves at you* That’s me! I’m a stage IV survivor with an underlying genetic condition. I survived cancer for this bullsh*t! It’s like a nightmare that I can’t wake up from!

Gee, I wonder why they want to vote before the CBO can release their analysis.

Taking this thing to a vote when it is guaranteed to fail in the senate is the political equivalent of mass suicide, frankly.

Their careers won’t be toast, sadly, despite passing this bill. The people they care about, the ones that voted them in and support whatever fuckery they get up to, will sniffle, suffer, go into further debt, endure pain and risk death but still be happy that my black, queer, disabled ass is being oppressed by their…

So, you mean, her husband is so unreliable that even MacGyver would be unable to fix him?

It’s a 1998 or 1999 540i I’m almost sure of it. The 540i6 was the fastest sedan in the world when it came out in 1998, before the E39 M5 (except for the fact that the M3 sedan was a bit faster 0-60). I’m going to assume they’re extending this out to the wagon as well, which I believe you could also get with a 6…

Exactly! And you even took pictures of it AND DIDN’T PUT THEM IN THE ARTICLE?!?!?!?!?!?! COME ON!!!

It was not well communicated in the post, but this is for the base turbo (LX/EX), not the Si. So it starts at 180hp/177tq.

Have to imagine these are also pretty low volume, hence the higher cost of entry.

It’s probably to add longeivty to the clutch and transmission. Which doesn’t sound awful to me.

I was picturing something else...

The best, though still somewhat inadequate, comparison I can think of is if Jill Stein had somehow won the election. While the right might view it as a complete win for the Democrats, the Democratic establishment would be absolutely reeling and there would wind up being some major shakeups. Many of Stein’s policy…

REAL ALPHA MALES DRIVES BIG, COMMANDING CARS

I’m a young single man, and I’d appreciate it if you, a shithead, wouldn’t speak for all the young single men.

Yep. Those young men were babies once. And fuck babies, right?

Yes, those things necessary to the sustainable welfare of the country where those same young men were quite likely educated and enjoy employment.
