  1. And that "schtick" has got so much airtime that wouldn't have been the case if she'd just flown in and out, that she wins again.

    The swamp

    Apparently a swamp is ok if it is a moat, and you can fill it with snakes and alligators. And shoot people in the legs.
  3. Although trump doesn't get anywhere near Bush's bodycount.
  4. Yep. That was the point he got muted. Can't say I'm surprised given that the habit of mocking people who are a little different comes from the example set by the president.
  5. Yeah wouldn't that have been a thing?? My favourite moment recently was Leo Varadkar schooling Boris and his "Classical education" with the Athena comment. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/09/leo-varadkar-athena-hercules-boris-johnson-why

    Ban Vaping?

    No good reason for smoking either. Let's ban that first.
  7. I'm not sure for them it's even a matter of business model - their business could fundamentally disappear. They (and their Shills like one of the posters here) HATE the idea of people doing it for themselves.
  8. Average politeness index would increase?

    Diatribe

    Most on the left would agree just fine.
  10. I really, genuinely hope the US doesn't go into recession. Aside from friends/colleagues/employees I have there or anything else, it's bad for everyone round the world. However if and when things start go go south, I'm interested to see the Trumpian mental gymnastics required to assert that despite the recent continued growth since 2016 being his doing, any drop off is still Obama's fault.

    Diatribe

    You've hit the nail on the head. Their way of life is all about controlling everyone else's way of life. The talk about charity and doing good is just window-dressing for the various forms of bigotry they practice.

    BAN GARLIC

    Well, not orange but one out of two isn't bad.
  13. Bit late to try and walk that one back. At least you have admitted it now.

    Meanwhile, Australia demonstrates again that making weapons more difficult to get is effective - man on "Stabbing rampage" is subdued using a chair and a plastic crate. An AR15 would have made that a much different situation.... https://www.insider.com/sydney-cbd-stabbing-suspect-chased-trapped-under-chairs-and-crates-2019-8
  15. It's been slow so far because the vehicles have been somewhat niche. Thats going to change quite significantly I reckon in the next 2-3 years from the numbers of cars I see nearing release. And interestingly, electric cars are now outperforming gas cars in a number of competitive environments. We are a few months into a new 3 year arrangement on a car. I suspect our next one won't have a fuel tank.

    The twitter reaction to the feral hogs quote is comedy gold.

    BAN GARLIC

    But what about 30-50 feral Hogs?
  18. In which case there is probably a successor waiting in the wings
  19. Nonsense. If every soccer mom can drive an F150 round, thats significantly bigger than an S Looks are more subjective, I think the S is still one of the better looking cars on the road. (The X much less so). Having said that, facelifts are part of the car life cycle, I'd be extremely surprised if there wasn't a refresh waiting in the wings.
  20. You are the only one here who keeps investigating insane conspiracy theories or going on about civilisations impending downfall.
