For some reason I can’t get this stupid Beatles song out of my head…Revolution. Every time I hear someone spouting off about treason, I think ‘talkin’ bout an execution.’
Louis Guitierrez (D-ICK) is the latest to promise his constituents that when the democrats take back the house he’s going to, “to make sure that I am there to make sure of one thing, that we write those articles of impeachment and take him to trial before the Senate and eliminate him as president of the United States of America.”
That’s some pretty hot chocolate he’s serving. Are we really here? Are we at a place in politics where Sentators–I’m looking at you Tim Kaine– and House Reps wantonly throw around execution as a political end? And just so we’re clear, we’re talking about executing the President and members of his family who are not currently employed by the administration.
It’s been 45 days since Steve Scalise and dozens of others were targeted for political assassination and there are many on the Left that have decided to escalate the Cold Civil War. I won’t even attempt to square the counterfactual circle of how this would have been played if Obama were the target. A brain divided against itself cannot stand.
I know we don’t all agree that Donald J. Trump is the God Emperor we’ve been waiting for. In reality, he worries me a bit, but I’m willing to look past all of his flaws for a few reasons. First, everyone I dislike hates him. Second, he is a giant middle finger to what I believe is a growing chasm in American society. We’re not just divided in politics, but have formed a neatly coded society where it is perfectly acceptable to deride entire swaths of the country to prove allegiance to a social class. His mere existence as a working man’s hero (a neat little trick in and of itself) spotlights how hollow our supposed intellectual betters have become. Third, he fights. And while I don’t always agree with what or whom he is fighting, I believe parsing every issue as if it has some deep meaning is more wrong. An illegal alien is not an undocumented immigrant.
GND and I have had this long standing conversation about if or when the President is going to be assassinated. She has always been of the opinion that he won’t make it to the end of his term. I have always believed that its not really possible, let alone probable that a crazed Leftist could pull it off.
But I’m starting to waver.
To borrow a refrain from a boring man, ‘Russia called, and they want their foreign policy back.’

I gotta believe he’s aware of the threat and being as careful as such men must always be.
OMG. What if I move and they Pulitzer people don’t have my new address?
Yeah, I just don’t really see how its possible. Sure, they can get a few guys at a baseball field but I don’t see how one of them gets near Trump.
Plus, their aim sucks.
Until he actually does things I don’t agree with, Trump is fine with me. Everyone is clutching their pearls over what they say he’ll do. What he wants.
And he’s done … what?
It’s no more than people who claimed Obama was going to cancel the election and put himself up for another term. Criticism that just carries over into parody.
And, even when/if Trump does something I don’t agree with … hasn’t that been true with EVERY PRESIDENT EVER?
I have the refrain from “killing in the name of” going through my head a lot lately.
“Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me” in response to a lot of the lefty bullshit. Which is hilarious because Rage were completely lefty pinkos.
They’re probably busy with that antifa group right now.
Come on, Car in, you’re just denying the camps that have been set up, all the brown people that have been imprisoned/disenfranchised/put to death, all the gay rights that have been repealed.
What?
Well, of course we haven’t heard about it. It’s all secret. duh.
Just like the germans – they had no idea what was going on in those camps.
Women are dying in back alleys from wire hangar gender reassignments!
I find their song “Wake up” ironic too.
They really were waaaaaay of base. That entire song can be turned completely around.
Someone make these for me:

Everyday there was a city BBQ just outside of Danzig.
Trans men are having trouble being able to afford menstrual products they don’t need! Plus, it’s transphoic that tampons are targeted to only “women” and not trans.
You guys know that gay dudes often refer to themselves and each other as ‘girls.’
Is that transhaming?
It’s definitely #problematic.
So wife and I are trying to figure out our budget for the new house. We can price out a barn and fencing with relative ease, but figuring out “how much will this house cost to build/deliver?” is a complicated enough question that all we can do at the moment is set a cap.
HS helped when I was thinking about building.
Isn’t that the basic premise of the budget, until you get better info/estimates?
After reading a few of the Dewey Andreas series of novels I think they could get Trump pretty easily. But that’s just fiction. Right?
Yeah, we’re talking to Hotspur on Thursday. I’d ask him to build it if it weren’t 90 minutes from his office. And if we weren’t thinking modular.
Leon,
Start at $150 /sf and work from there for new construction. I think the number was just under $140 for the avg new home last year.
MJ! Nice poat.
This is what happens when you gear a culture to produce stupid people to be used to ensure a power base for folks who, frankly, ain’t genius intellects themselves.
The democrat party is the dimwitted leading the dull to lord over the retarded, with the retarded supplying the votes.
Start at $150 /sf and work from there for new construction. I think the number was just under $140 for the avg new home last year.
If I go that high, the project is doomed before it starts.
Yeah, the next thing I knew the price was $250 /sf and it made no sense in this part of the country.
In Charlotte, no problem.
It would be cheaper to buy a house and move it.
https://www.zillow.com/kalamazoo-metro-mi_r394732/home-values/
$119/sq ft is average for the area, so I don’t want to go too much over that if I can help it.
It would be cheaper to buy a house and move it.
That option is on the table.
We were talking about shipping containers yesterday, should a pole barn prove too pricy. Probably going to get one in any event.
Build using non-conventional materials.
Shipping containers, haybales, earthen blocks, etc.
Options are almost endless.
Property has about 4 wooded acres, oaks and maples. Don’t think that hasn’t crossed my mind, Scott.
Heh. I didn’t see that last post – nice to see you’re already thinking outside the box so to speak.
But, I figured a guy that makes his own toothpaste and flamethrowers probably is already.
Hardwoods? I’d be so tempted to have a masonry stove put in…

That’s the layout.
Hardwoods? I’d be so tempted to have a masonry stove put in…
Definitely on the list of wants.
Step 1 is me going over there the day after we close and surrounding the neighbor with pine trees or arbor vitaes.
Arbor vitaes?
why do you hate yourself?
Pines, then. Anything to wall them off visually and acoustically.
I’ve got a dozen arbor vitaes here, I don’t mind them. They grow fast and form a green wall nicely, plus birds love them.
What’s in the little box at the bottom left of the property?
The neighbor. Used to be that house on 20 acres. Now it’s that house on 1 acre and 19 acres adjacent. That house just sold before we bought the land, so it was vacant when I visited and I parked in the driveway.
$150 per square foot? That seems really high.
You can buy houses for that, land included, here in CT.
It would explain why there is zero construction around here.
We think that there might be an existing well used for field irrigation that’s on our side of the property line, but I’d need to go there after a stake survey to be sure. I assumed all structures went with the house when I visited, so I didn’t look at it.
Just found the picture I was looking for . 2004 we first came out to this property. Neighbor had planted these TINY TINY ever greens out front.
TINY.
They used a nice mix. It’s like a forest now.
Then: https://i2.wp.com/thehostages.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/dsc00096.jpg?ssl=1&w=450
See those tiny trees in the front? That’s what I’m talking about. I’ll take another picture on my way out today.
Neighbor has abor vitae now along the property line and I don’t care for them. I need to grow things on my side of the property line so I don’t see their “privacy” hedge.
They just don’t look natural at all. Growing in a line like that. Not to my taste.
I presume there’s an access gate/road/path somewhere that doesn’t show on the pic.
Are those structures on the lower right?
Point taken. Some native pine or bush species.
No Cavil, that’s lowlands that show up dark in the aerial photo.
And there’s no gate, just a spot where the drainage ends and you could drive onto or off of.
I should buy a drone before the FAA bans them. Gonna need it.
Heh, policed by drones.
Kid Rock would visit, use it as an example of The Wall.
The trick is making survey markers that the drone can always see.
Then using that to coordinate the ground-attack robots.
Just remember, they are the tolerant ones:

Anyone surprised, after the kids started working over the staff at Fox?
http://www.dailywire.com/news/18964/shock-msnbc-tops-cable-news-robert-kraychik
I heard a rumor that O’Reilly and Hannity are in talks to create their own channel. I’m not a big fan of either of them but something needs to happen since it appears Fox has lost its mojo
The rumor further speculated they would buy Beck’s Blaze TV channel
No idea if any of that will happen. It was just back and forth between a radio guy (Howie Carr) and a media publicity guy who happens to be a conservative
What about Sean Hannity’s hair? Will it have its own channel.
We should have a TV channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry MJ, the H2 already exists.
Get out!
Why am I not on it? Muppetphobe.
When you go missing, then you become history. Maybe you’ll appear with Jim Henson?
Picture in update for Leon!
I planted a bunch of mixed conifers back when I bought my place in ’99. They were 3-4 feet then and now I’d guess they’re 15-20 feet. I planted a bunch of arbor vitae but only one survived. I guess the deer like to munch on them more than they like to munch on your mom
I staggered them unevenly on the north side of my house wide enough apart that the bush hog could get through to mow the fields
Okay, I see a tiny pine tree.
No,Leon. All those giant ones behind that small one. They have grown so fast it’s amazing
I linked the older picture … they were all the size of that other pine tree.
Gotcha.
I have generally been pretty supportive of Trump, and my support isn’t going down, but I now have a few apprehensions.
Yeah, about Sessions. You don’t like him, fine. Find a way to ease him out gently, instead of this public spectacle.
And not because you want to be nice to Sessions (though there is no harm in being gentle), but because you don’t want to deter others from joining your administration.
In corporate world, even if you are openly hostile and get rid of people, the news stays within a small circle and has no wider implications. National politics is different.
Just had a phone interview with HR for a gas company in Portland, OR. It seemed to go well. Unfortunately it’ll probably be two weeks before I hear back from them because the hiring manager is on vacation, and then I’d still have to do a video conference interview followed by possibly an in-person interview.
Of course we don’t know what’s happened up until now. It’s possible he tried it the quiet way and it got nowhere.
Me, I just wish I’d been able to keep him as a decent Senator instead of burning him for a pile of beans.
Wouldn’t it be great if he just wanted to spend more time with his family?
I keep wondering if there’s something more intelligent going on with the Sessions thing but its really just a big pile of dumb.
Good luck, COAlex.
If I move to Oregon, I’m not becoming Oregon Alex, because you fuckers would have way too much fun with that.
Sessions might have wanted to retire and Trump thought this would be a good distraction/scalp for the press, but I don’t believe he’s an eleven-dimensional chess player, unless it’s just intuitive.
Watch this game win all sorts of awards and praise from the left.
If he was smart he’d make Paul Ryan the AG and fire him. McConnell next.
I don’t believe he’s an eleven-dimensional chess player, unless it’s just intuitive.
My argument is for intuition. Trump isn’t a chess player seeing twenty moves ahead, he’s a fencer who knows how to read his opponent. The random stuff he does is like a series of probing attacks, each one designed to elicit an overreaction from his opponents and give him an opening for the real attack.
George Silver wrote about “gaining the place” and “winning the place”. The first is when your opponent does something that gives you the advantage and leaves them vulnerable. Trump is a master at it.
Ace mentioned Schlicter’s article about how to get rid of that anal wart, Mueller. I like his approach
Oregon is too pro abortion for me.
Anyone can get one, at any time during their pregnancy (up to the moment of birth) and the state pays for it.
Pretty twisted.
Doesn’t matter if you are 12 years old. You don’t even need to be a US citizen.
Portland is a beautiful city.
It’s also crazy.
Pros: I’d be close to Powell’s City of Books, as well as family.
Cons: I’d spend my paycheck at Powell’s, and I’d be close to family.
Oregon has assisted self-murder, too, and I believe insurance has to cover it.
That’s just sick Scott. Women’s Health my ass. What a crock of shit those idiots spew…
If I am running an insurance company, I would happily pay assholes to off themselves, as long as they have already paid next six months premiums.
My woman is mui healthy in spite of a stroke and a dose of open heart surgery. As far as I know, she’s never had an abortion. Two C-sections but no abortions.
Back from Canada. You can’t get a rare or medium hamburger there. Only well done. Health department rules.
Their money is weird. Their dollar is worth about 76 cents.

Eh?
So… Democrats gave access to the email accounts of their top officials and lawmakers to a group of shady foreign IT workers, for years, who were subsequently investigated by the Capitol Hill police and FBI for serious, possibly illegal, violations of the Capitol Hill network policies. Numerous smashed hard drives have been found in their homes, along with other government equipment as well as signs that they were printing large volumes of documents. Despite making hundreds of thousands of dollars, one of the members of this group, with a long history of frequent trips to Pakistan, had a bankruptcy in 2012, and was just arrested trying to flee the country. He’s now surrendered his passport and has been arraigned on charges of bank fraud.
But please, tell me how Donald Trump Junior’s meeting with a couple of Russians is a scandal that threatens the foundations of our Democracy.
Canada has really nice roads though.
All a misunderstanding. Those hard drives fell on the hammers.
Nothing but yoga emails in there anyway.

So … why do you think you are H2 material?
(sends cute photo of puppy crossfitting)
YOU’re IN.
So, ethan has been having some knee pain –
Where the f is our H2 doctor/Jimbro?
THe PT person felt his knee and thought everything still felt solid/connected/ok.
I’m guessing Ethan’s soccer coach wasn’t careful enough with the yoga and had him doing some poses he shouldn’t have.
She’s been properly chastised. Ethan really fucked up his knee. The rupture he had was no contact, which means his own knee ripped that shit apart, which damaged the meniscus along with it.
NO EFFEN WARRIOR POSE.
People and their cult/fitness. What’s a mom to do?
I hate you all so very much.
I have to stay up because Erin’s “not-boyfriend” may be coming over.

I should just go back to selling Keno
What is Keno, anyway?
Sorry Carin, it’s after my bedtime.

Don’t make me go to bed and read Gravity’s Rainbow …

I’ve talked about this before: Guys I work with alerting other guys to hot bods and beauties in The Club. Dan has been burnt by great butts on underage girls in yoga pants. Today, Neil (Newly married Neil who has never called out a hot bod before, called out a “perfect butt in pink in bakery”. My newly married boss felt the need to check her out due to Neil’s history of never calling out hot bods.) Brett wasn’t as impressed. They both ignored my rant on their objectification of women and how their leering makes the Club look bad
The item I ordered from Amazon was delivered yesterday. They even have a picture of the package at the front door….

Do you recognize the house?
Nope – all I can see is a wooden door and a Welcome mat. Doesn’t look like any of the doors on our stretch of street.
Oh, well – someone else will get to enjoy that $5.00 pair of purple tennis-ball leg covers for a collapsible walker….
