Navy calls their floating workplace a “boat”.

Oh great, a Trumpkin to share some deep thoughts.

“The color money” stands out to me more than “Irish Green”

I was driving in east Memphis area middle of night. Pulled up to a stop light waiting to take the highway on ramp. Just me and a large SUV in front of me. Suddenly saw it’s back-up lights turn on and the SUV drove right up on the hood of my car.

I’ve experienced death wobble a number of times in my Jeep Cherokee.

I’m not going to say that someone with a firearm would have stopped a mass shooter, and I’m aware that gun right’s advocates like to say we should arm teachers and what not, but I think your point is moot given that those mass situations are essentially preplanned ambushes where a lot of damage is taking place in a…
