Flying low, still figuring this out. Using same name as the bad place if you're inclined to vet before following me. You should, just on principle. Actually you should reconsider that follow...

Do not cave.

How do you look at what happened on Tuesday and think this is the smart move?

We are rewarding you people for fighting so keep fighting.

I'm actually okay with this. It was a bullshit propaganda move from the Bush, Jr. Admin that should've died years ago. We don't need to keep singing God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch either.

Veterans Day is Tuesday, and unlike previous years, there will not be honor guards and military service members unveiling American flags, in addition to the lack of a flyover, at the 13 NFL games on Sunday and Monday.

Pentagon cancels Veterans Day NFL flyovers because of shutdown - UPI.com

No military-sponsored events, including flyovers, will take place at this week's Veterans Day "Salute to Service" NFL games -- another victim of the federal government shutdown.

Are all the presidents there or did he only put up Republicans? We know damn well Clinton, Obama, and Biden are not on that wall.

The Outback's the newest one I've owned and I'm probably not going to have anything newer after it. I'm currently looking to replace it with a 95 straight line Jeep.

I get side eyes every time I say it but my best car was my 95 dealer's special Beretta. It was basically the z26 minus the badging.

I think my brother has that same year F250. Engine grenaded last year so it's been sitting in the carport ever since. He's talking about doing one of those Edison conversions to it at some point assuming they ever get those working.

When you hear “that candidate just doesn’t excite me” you know it’s someone who’s confused politics for porn.

I fucking hate that narrative so much. I got absolutely sick of it when Clinton was running. I don't care if my candidate is likable I want to know they're competent. I'm electing a representative not looking for a new girlfriend.

The only vehicle I hated more was my 01 Grand Am. Full disclosure I had 2. I loved my first one but probably because I owned it less than 18mths before it was totaled by a deer. It was the 2nd one that made me hate them.

Seriously how do you look at this & not want to ragebeat it with a box wrench.

I am firmly of the opinion no one should be allowed to design a car they have not had to repair themselves. I used to have an HHR. There was a bullshit plastic "oh my God my engine is ugly what can I put on it to cover it" housing I used as a skipping stone because its mere existence pissed me off.

Meanwhile I want to crack somebody over the head with a spinner every time I have to take this fucking plate off to get to my friend's battery in her pickup truck.

Picture of a bullshit over engineered Chevy piece of crap with a useless plate blocking the battery

AltSamPiper @altsampiper.bsky.social · 17h

I was talking to a mechanic at a dealership last year who said basically the same thing but it had less to do with being able to repair it and more to do with the fact that the current engineer mindset is to make everything a cascading failure.

I'm driving a 20-year-old Subaru Outback with a quarter million miles on it.

I grew up a Chevy kid but I'm not married and never had kids so most of the current Chevy lineup doesn't appeal to me and I can't afford the Chevys that do anymore.

AltSamPiper @altsampiper.bsky.social · 17h

This and is in conjunction with the fact that, with a few exceptions, no one makes actual cars anymore. Everything is some bloated mom-mobile crossover or hatchback.

Honestly other than a Corvette and various euro hypercars, I can't think of a single two-door car that is still on the market.

I was surprised to find out she wasn't already in.

We'd have been in a much better position if he had been seated. If he gets SCOTUS we don't get Gorsuch. Garland would've caused an ideological balance between Roberts that causes Kavanaugh to wobble. Additionally Dobbs might not have made the docket. They "reviewed" that shit case for years.

And you can’t sit up here and scream and demand that older politicians retire or give up their seats right bowl when you are silent about that Senator from Vermont filing for reelection in 2030 when he will be 89 years old.

AltSamPiper @altsampiper.bsky.social · 3d

Are you fucking kidding me.

You know no I'm actually not surprised because I know there's been a lobby for this from Republicans for fucking decades.

Why do I feel like something is about to drop that she is desperate to distance herself from. Something bigger than whatever is in those Epstein files. She's paddling for her life right now.

I didn't even realize he was going to trial. I thought the judge had dismissed the case as frivolous.

AltSamPiper @altsampiper.bsky.social · 4d

They are doing this because they are getting away with it. And they will continue to get away with it because if any of them get arrested Trump is going to pardon them. Literally the only way these guys stop is if we treat them how we would treat anybody else who did this. We fought a war over this.

So if it's the same story I heard about earlier, this particular case was a United States citizen that they claimed was being violent yet they released him hours later without charging him. It is my understanding they just released him so he took his kids and went home. I hope he's got a lawyer.

Cuomo is an asshole who never should have run however you are deliberately willfully ignoring the fact that the majority of voters are not that well informed & tend to go with what they know. If anything that Cuomo got as many votes as he did says more about the electorate than it does about Mamdani

AltSamPiper @altsampiper.bsky.social · 4d

"Barely"?

Whether you like him or not Cuomo is still recognized as a Democrat so he beat a fellow Dem (who split the vote) in a heavy Dem city by 8 pts.

Against someone with a known legislative history & astronomically high name recognition.

That's like a high schooler outplaying LeBron by 40.

I've been saying for years that Mayor Pete is what happened when Alex P. Keaton grew up. 30 years ago, he'd have been a Republican.
