  • Tinyhanded Rapist must pay his victim $83,300,000

    Quote from slamfire

    After telling me Democrats would never cheat or rig elections, she immediately explained how they would rig the Republican primaries. Like she just said they would never do such a thing, and in the next sentence told me exactly how they were going to do such a thing.


    So she went on to let me know that the Democratic Party itself is organizing to rig the Republican Primaries against Trump (btw she told me that around Thanksgiving) by making their people vote for Haley. I mean, they are not even hiding it, and have no concept that this is actual election rigging. Well they actually do know that it is, but it's no big deal to them. Anyways, they are very open about rigging/cheating/defrauding elections, but they simple act stupid if you call them out on it.



    Maybe you should blame Rush Limbaugh for giving them that idea.


    Did Rush Limbaugh tilt result in Indiana?
    Impact of radio host urging Indiana Republicans to vote for Clinton to "bloody up" Obama is debated.

    I doubt it was really his idea though. I’ve heard of this sort of thing for years from people in both parties.

    Quote from Zell Xan

    I was wondering why you harbored so much disdain for her!

    :laughing

    I'm just giving her the chance to fulfill, even though the "recording" part was a bit sneaky.

    If you are in politics you should always assume you are being recorded. Also you should always record your conversations.

    Just like most people, despite the horrendous manufacturing quality. Worse than Land Rover, and one of the "features" is the lack of franchises, which is an anti-consumer measure to have total control over stores so you can hide warranty repairs as good-will repairs so you can dodge lemon laws.

    I dunno. I think most Americans hate the dealer model used by most other manufacturers. Salesmen, finance departments, and service centers are some of the most dishonest people on the planet.

    I live in the county just south of Jax. They are building a toll road from I-10 west of Jax to St Augustine which cuts through my county. The part from I-10 to SR-21 (the main road) is complete. We have already seen an increase in crime as the toll road has become a quick ingress, egress route from the worst parts of the Westside into Middleburg.

    Was looking for something out in the garage today and found this. Back on the last deployment prior to the Invasion of Iraq, we were assigned to board all ships leaving Iraq and search for contraband cargo. Oil being the big no-no. Most ships weren’t even tankers. Saddam basically forced any ship that made port in Iraq to attempt to smuggle oil out. This one was a container ship. Anyway one of collateral duties was to process oil as evidence to be shipped off to a lab to confirm its chemical properties and origin of Iraq.

  • GM and Ford Losing Billions

    Ford Motor annual/quarterly gross profit history and growth rate from 2010 to 2023. Gross profit can be defined as the profit a company makes after deducting the variable costs directly associated with making and selling its products or providing its services.

    • Ford Motor gross profit for the quarter ending September 30, 2023 was $6.253B, a 24.12% increase year-over-year.
    • Ford Motor gross profit for the twelve months ending September 30, 2023 was $26.724B, a 17.41% increase year-over-year.
    • Ford Motor annual gross profit for 2022 was $23.66B, a 9.08% increase from 2021.
    • Ford Motor annual gross profit for 2021 was $21.69B, a 50.71% increase from 2020.


    So are they losing some money on EV’s ? Sure. Overall they are making a profit, so they aren’t losing billions. They are just missing out on billions of additional profit due to EV’s dragging it down.

  • More erosion of parental rights.

    I agree TikTok should be banned. Besides the issues of its content, it’s basically Chinese spyware/malware.


    I only have one child that is still a minor. He’s 15. I recently allowed him a Facebook, which was only because he used it for a research project. That was my choice though and the state need to quit trying to make decisions for me. I monitor the usage of all his devices. That should be enough.

    The first game took the producer a week to pressure wash and clean up the place. After that they hired the local fire dept and the paint manufacturers produced "blanding gray" which matched the buildings and didn't stain. It was tightly controlled until it wasn't, and a shady producer got in, ran out of paint late in the event, and brought in tournament grade paint that stained the buildings and didn't clean it up, which got paintball banned from there forever.

    I was a “Drill Sargent” at the Florida Youth Challenge Academy (boot camp for bad teens) out there for awhile. It’s a great base for camping etc. It’s too bad the paintball is gone.

    This proves that both parties are about control. I’m beginning to wonder what rights as parents we will be allowed to keep. What will the role of parents be in the years to come?
