  1. It looks like Trump is going to be issuing CPI reports in future written in sharpie. He will just skip the nerd stuff and cut right to the chase showing that no president has ever had better numbers.
  2. Little known factoid: every astronaut who walked on the moon was a former Eagle Scout.
  3. If only there was another way to express that, like just one word…
  4. During my ATO years at Florida, we called our fraternity brothers from there the “Polk County Primitives”. The one brother who turned out to have a KKK membership card was one of them.
  5. Damn! Can they staple a Twinkie into the organ wall as a hole block - you know - something that will never dissolve or be absorbed by your system? I missed that experience, and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with it.
  6. Look, monitoring your son’s porn consumption is a time-gobbling task.
  7. So - you can take the length, can’t take the length take the length, can’t take the length take the length, etc. Annoying. Hang in there, buddy.
  8. Er…. How did the prior six work out?
  9. 1) I own two revolvers with 1.87 inch barrels in .32 caliber. Firing .32 long is barely more than a .22 recoil. I would be surprised if your experience was different. 2) nothing about the discussion involved the price of ammo. i’m not saying that’s not a valid consideration in some circumstances, but the poster in question can probably buy any ammo he wants. 3) .32 ACP is not a revolver round, but an auto round. Options? Lord, nobody will ever agree on guns. My recommendation was solely based on the fact that the potential user was not a gun guy, and for a variety of reasons a person who does not train actively would likely be more comfortable with a revolver. It eliminates the uncertainty of a safety if one is present, and folks who are not gun people usually prefer a safety. Maybe it was my assumption, but a wife who is not gun friendly he might eventually try to coax into being familiar with a weapon would find firing 32 short or long to be as user-friendly as possible. Many women find operating a slide on a semi auto to be difficult and/or a dealbreaker. The .327 is an outstanding defense round. Which was one of the concerns for him, but not the only concern. A Hi-Point 9 and some white box. ammo would definitely be cheaper. Feel free to message me, but I won’t gun up the leopard’s thread anymore. but full disclosure, I’m a .327 fanboi
  10. Why do you hate 3K yearly deductions? That is an integral part of my yearly tax return strategy.
  11. I vote for Ruger LCR IN .327. Wheel guns go “bang” without worrying you have the safety on - or forgot to rack a round into the chamber when things get exciting. It shoots no/low recoil .32 short and long rounds - .32 magnum rounds with a bit more oomph - and .327 hollow point wrist snappers that are a potent defense round. IOW, it is a revolver that has a round for any shooter in the family to practice with without fear of recoil until they become comfortable with the next step up. And the four round choices means that you’ll be able to find something to fire at the evil paper targets. And if you need a handgun for protection, and don’t intend on going to the range, a Taurus judge fires a .410 shell full of tungsten goodies that will make an intruder unhappy they did not leave - and accuracy is less of a problem, it being shotgun-ish.
  12. So - if they hate each other for real, that means they could each select the type of strap on to use on the other?
  13. At some point, a ‘Mussolini and the partisan’s’ ending might become more likely. At some point, there are lines in the sand that people will not abide. Truthfully, it doesn’t make any difference whether the line in the sand is an objectively reasonable one or not, or if many people support the thing others despise. The only thing that matters is if a person goes Defcon 8 over a particular issue. That’s when abortion clinics got bombed, historically. While that issue didn’t move me to act, it convinced some very unhappy people to take action. When people lose their healthcare and access to hospitals - and watch their loved ones die - some people just might get salty about that. Luigi out front should’ve told you. Right now we are a deeply divided nation. We are also a deeply divided nation with 1.2 firearms per citizen. Instead of torches, the angry villagers have guns. When people offer up the Nazi Germany example, that knee bending was not done in a nation with more firearms per capita than people.
  14. You say that name two more times and I’ll…..!! I imagine him driving the country in his RV, intently studying the rules of every new campground, searching for some ambiguity so that he can provoke an event to create a reason to file another lawsuit.
  15. I believe it has to do with the number of news copters with cameras, per capita…
  16. Never grows old…
  17. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/aug/12/missouri-paid-sick-leave-repeal You could always ask Josh Hawley to look under his sofa coaches for change. He seems like a caring guy.
  18. Yeah. I haven’t read the suit, so I don’t even know the basis for her blathering. I think Kentucky has a one-year statute of limitations for anything non-auto, and as far as I know, she has no official capacity now. I focused on standing because I couldn’t understand why some mutt faced MAGA can object to gay marriage because she’s three Bud Lights in. If I recall correctly, the state changed the law to hold that clerks don’t have to sign off on marriage licenses, which sort of mooted her last dumbass attempt. So if she’s not a clerk now, and she has no official duties requiring her to be involved in gay marriage at all, it seemed to be like she was just yelling at clouds. And nah - I’m not interested in it enough to read about her lawsuit. Just another many times married Christian who ignores what Jesus said about divorce and focuses instead on gay marriage… which Jesus had nothing to say about at all.
  19. Is standing no longer a thing? Or am I too dim to figure out that it is what Roberts says it is?
  20. i’m sure our friends in Canada are going to shake this off, and they will be doing yuuuuge amounts of business with us soon.
  21. “Tariff a little, delay a little, tariff a little, delay a little - cheep, cheep, cheep (talk a lot…delay a little more…)”
  22. His screen name is “Hate”?
  23. Quit whining, asshole, you wanted change - and you got change! But at least you and your employees had a lot of fun sharing Facebook posts about illegals going to Alligator Alcatraz. That, and thoughts and prayers, should be enough to make it through the coming stagflation.
