  1. "Looks like The President Show is a rerun again, mama"
  2. Yeah, but have you seen "Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell"?
  3. Time to add a cute kid to the cast?
  4. For maximum discomfort, I hope they are non-English speakers.
  5. It's been said before, but this administration has made me so fucking sick of the word "deal".
  6. Technically, Norfolk has more gross tonnage.
  7. Gooby

    Led Zeppelin

    Jimmy Page speaking to the Oxford Union. I could listen to the man talk about music for hours on end...if for nothing more than his English colloquialisms
  8. I'm spending less time with my mother after she re-married at age 75 a couple years back Dude us a Fox News-addled loon, and everything you say...about anything...is going to get contested. Plus, they fucking bicker and argue like no one I've ever seen before. I'd just prefer to spare myself the negativity and give him fewer opportunities for him to piss me off.
  9. Kamala Harris...along with the rest of the field...will rag doll him in any debate.
  10. Isn't this a violation of the flag code?
  11. I heard today on CNN...so probably fake...that presidents traditionally held a celebration at the WH and invited military dignitaries and their families, among others. They would watch the fireworks from the South Lawn.
  12. I think it's usually on PBS. In light of Trump threatening their funding, they should say fuck it and not show.
  13. #MIGA and now I’m hungry
  14. I hope they don't decrease the number of hashbrowns. I already feel somewhat short-changed by the four that come in each order, and I also understand that they're a side, but dammit, I love me some fried potatoes.
  15. A $100B trade deficit with Mexico? Sounds like bullshit to me
  16. I'm not sure I'm ready to say "autism", but very methodical and inflexible in his daily life. So yeah...probably.
  17. If you could come up with some kind of official looking fence guy "license", that may seal the deal
  18. You can't tell the man anything. Everything must be done by a professional. For example, when they moved we drove over and helped them with a bunch of stuff, and one thing I noticed that needed to be done was the dryer cord needed to be replaced, so we drove to Lowe's and bought one and replaced it while they were off doing other shit. Well, my mistake was not tossing the cardboard wrapper from the new cord in my car, because once he saw it he hit the roof. "You're not a licensed electrician and I cannot take chances" and blah, blah blah. He's right, I'm not an electrician, but my dad is a Master's Electrician who still holds licenses in 7 states and is pretty highly regarded around the area. I've worked summers and holidays and whenever dad's guys needed the help, so I can hang a light fixture or ceiling fan, replace a breaker and I sure as shit can replace a dryer cord. Nonetheless, once it turned to straight-up BITCHING at us for doing them a favor, we left, and I told my wife I would never volunteer to help him do ANYTHING again. The next day, he called an electrician to come and have a look at the dryer cord, because "it just CANNOT be right." The electrician told him it was right, but still charged him for 2 hours plus the service call. The highest irony of the whole thing was, the electrician who showed up on the service call was a pupil of my father's in apprentice school. We were through there a couple of weekends ago, and the wind had taken out a section of their fence...three posts had cracked and it was down. They're currently on a 4 month waiting list for a fence guy. I COULD fix it, but ain't no fucking way I'm volunteering.
  19. My father in law is a worry wart by nature. He's always taken his cars to the dealership for even the most basic service. The upside to this is that he's bought nothing but Toyotas from Don McGill for the last 27 years, so he doesn't get taken advantage of any more than usual. They won't try to upsell him, I do know that. The old man drives a 2013 Tacoma, while my MIL drives a 2012 4-Runner with only 62,000 miles on it. The story takes a turn, however. They recently moved to Bryan, and in order to get to "know" the guys at the new dealership, FIL takes the 4-Runner to the dealership in Bryan and basically says, "this thing is 7 years old, there MUST be something wrong with it. We're away from the home dealership, so we're counting on you!" Well, those assholes basically red-flagged everything from the engine block forward. New timing belt and assembly, new oil pan and gasket, new radiator...the whole fucking thing. My FIL was particularly hung up on the radiator. I asked him if it was leaking and he said no. I said there was nothing wrong with it, then. But why believe me? $6,200 later and he doesn't have to sweat the radiator anymore.
  20. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1122873726276599809 Or term limits, you fucking dumbass
  21. Here's a question: My mother posted some fake news dipshittery on Facebook about Nancy Pelosi having a "In God We Trust" sign removed from above the house chamber entrance. It's from this website, which clearly states that it is "Satire for Flat Earthers, Trumpsters and Y'all Qeada", yet she posts it as the God's honest truth. I feel that this is a problem with the olds...they just post whatever comes up without bothering to check if it's true or not, but I digress. Do you call her on this bullshit and tell her that it's fucking fake...which is the language that I am very tempted to use...or just leave her alone to spread her bullshit amongst her 48 followers?
  22. Bill King gets the needle Wednesday night for his role in the 1998 killing of James Byrd Jr. Lawrence Russell Brewer got his in 2011. Shawn Berry...somehow...got life in prison and will be eligible for parole in 2038. I still remember how horrified I was when this happened. Seemed like it cast a pall on the entire state. Say "hey" to Russell when you get to hell, you racist fuck.
