  1. It's either Ford of Chevy, I can't remember. But I know for sure it's not Dodge. And if you're not from America you are allowed to consider imports. MAGA!
  2. Teenage sibling boys playing with the tools of war. Good news, only one wounded. https://www.mlive.com/news/2020/08/michigan-boy-15-accidentally-shoots-14-year-old-brother.html
  3. Your average citizen is far too light skinned to be a shit hole country. But hey, you are not exactly Norway either.
  4. Yeah, until the fracking boom America was all over the tar sands as a friendly and dependable supply. But needs change and so do relationships.
  5. It's looking that will continue to involve thousands of dangerous tanker cars on rails.
  6. Just one cotton pickin' minute there Baba Louie . Who did not assume a terrorist act when they first heard of a large explosion in Beirut?
  7. Don't worry. We will continue to hew your wood and draw your water. (two items of freight that I regularly deliver to the US) And I'm fairly sure that I will also continue to back haul washing machines from OH and IA. Unless we have to get them from Mexico that is.
  8. Note to Phil, we already have a thread on this subject.
  9. It's hard for a 14 yo boy to resist the lure of a bright shiny killing machine left out and loaded and ready to play with. Too bad, he was a nice kid while his life lasted. https://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2020/08/05/auburn-accidental-shooting-14-year-old-dead/
  10. All I heard was Biden saying that he is not taking any of that shit. He did stumble on some words, but he spoke better and clearer than I have heard him in the past. Cocaine is a large part of the zeitgeist, as I'm sure you know. Because no one is perfect. The stakes are high, and anyone running will find opposition hammering away at any mistakes or missteps they have ever made. Joe Biden has lived a long life with plenty of events in it. Just who meets your standards? I think Barack Obama probably is the most "worthy" POTUS of my lifetime. It's pretty hard to find many personal flaws in him.
  11. https://qz.com/1267508/all-the-people-close-to-donald-trump-who-called-him-an-idiot/ Biden does not have a host of people close to him who seriously question his intelligence. Whatever you think of that clip, which I do think he performed well on, there is no real comparison to the sheer idiocy that is the Dotard.
  12. I think you are trying to say that Biden is a moron like Trump is. If so, I question your judgement.
  13. Joe Biden: 'Why the hell would I take a cognitive test?' https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-53671679/joe-biden-why-the-hell-would-i-take-a-cognitive-test
  14. They gotta go with what they got. And if that's all they got it ain't worth a nickle anymore after Trump's pandering to to Putin, who has a bounty on Americans.

    Both well watched in Canada I'm afraid.

    It is leadership, but not just federal. State and local as well. In any society there would be people who would resent these rules. In America the leadership has allowed it to become an identity issue. I heard the governor of GA saying mandatory mask rules are unenforceable. That sends a clear message that you don't have to wear on if you don't want to. If instead they made a rule it would be difficult to enforce and you would not get 100% compliance. But you would get far more that just saying "do whatever". Leadership matters. It can create social pressure to do the right thing or it can send the opposite message. The Sturgis MC rally? Are you freaking kidding me? State leadership could easily stop it from happening, or at least reduce it to a much smaller underground event. They can not possibly make enough money to be worth the enormous risk to the locals and the visitors who will go home and become spreaders.
  17. Better hurry before they become gentrified and the indigents are pushed out into the countryside.
  18. Only if you revealed your identity!
  19. Well, judging by the huge plume of smoke that was already in the air at the beginning of the video I would say yes, there was already a good sized fire happening. And that is also likely what was being videoed at the time.

    Science can never give us understanding of the nature of our existence. It can only make the questions and the mystery deeper.
  21. If there was already firefighters pouring water on it they may have been causing a reaction that would do that.
  22. This about the same amount of ammonium nitrate as in the Texas City disaster of 1947, and much more than the more recent West TX event. That one was caused by arson.
  23. Alright, you had me there thinking that Trump was pissed at Joe Louis.
  24. You probably mean little sister Katy. And some of her friends.
  25. I can not watch Letterkenny. The dialog is too fast for my failing hearing, and the dialog is everything. My wife loves it. TPB is outrageous and sometimes outrageously funny. I have friends who are totally offended by it, which makes it even better. There is only one sympathetic character on the show, (Bubbles) even the children are given offensive roles.
