I get my gas at a military base using an exchange (PX) credit card. The base is more or less secure and the card is useless elsewhere.

Nobody wants this shit. It endangers the one and only thing Trumps gives a shit about- his own popularity.

Neutral: ALTERNATIVES!!! Texas, for example, is home to the 4th, 5th, and 7th largest cities in the USA. None have much in the way of usable mass transit. We all live in the suburbs, and we all have jobs on the other side of town because the suburbs near work are crime-infested hellholes full of *those* people. So we…

LBJ's ghost would like to have a word.

In March of 2003, I was in the all-ranks club at Fort Drum, New York, having a burger and a beer after work. I was a reservist, called up for a few weeks to support the mobilization of National Guard troops to Iraq. Anyway, the war had begun that night. CNN was on the big TV, and they were in Baghdad covering the…

I drove a 1980 Chevette for a couple of years. Yeah, by today’s standards, it was a real POS. By the standards of the mid-80s when I got it, it wasn’t up on the same league as Toyota or Honda, or even Ford, but it was fine.

They do when they drive beater pickups and such.

They used to do these postmortem. Thank God for modern anesthesia and better doctors. 

She’s in OKC, not Vermont. She doesn’t have to have 4WD. That said, I got my 2017 Nissan Rogue at Hertz Auto Sales for under $15K. 40,000 miles, but otherwise well sorted, and still new enough for people to go ooh and aah over it.

He did. I understood it. It didn’t require any mental gymnastics to understand it. The Congressional Black Caucus understood it. So I don’t see why it’s a big deal, other than certain of his competitors see fit to try to make us share their misunderstandings.

Uh, I don’t think what I said means what you thought it meant. I suggest reading it again.

This, and the other things automation offers are precision and consistency. This makes products like automobiles more reliable, last longer, and do their jobs more efficiently and safely than even Ralph Nader could dream of when the Corvair was the latest bleeding edge thing coming from Detroit.

Well, we'll see how it goes. I'm still skeptical, but it is a good show, and it is summer, and there's precious little to watch on TV when it's 105 outside.

In citing these examples, he is comparing people like Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms, horrible, odious people as they were, to the current Republican caucus, and not in a favorable way. So knock it off.

John Kerry was considered “Plan B” back in 2004. See where that got us? It has to be clear to everyone right fucking now that the time to stop arguing amongst ourselves ends when a nominee is chosen. Period.

What more could they possibly squeeze from OITNB? Chapman got out of prison in Season 6, the end. Don’t tell me Netflix is sending her back.

A softly purring fuzzball next to me helps quite a bit.

Don’t forget the molon labe sticker on the back window.

Kind of like his plan to “fix” the ACA.

But they usually self-identify, which makes them easier to avoid.
