  • But more importantly, bullshit like this is a quick and easy way to ensure that he dominates news cycles.

    It took him moments (or some kid who works for him more likely) to cook this up and post it. It will not harm his ability to be a twat in any way, nothing will happen because of this. Well, except that he keeps everyone talking about him which is all he wants. Keep CNN breathless pretending this is news.

    How about all the news networks learn to ignore his bullshit for a minute? Oh wait, then nobody will hate watch and soak in the advertising.

    I truly dislike what has become of us.

    I feel like I slept through the point where everyone decided to stop answering calls, answering doors and generally chose to turn to a life of hermitage. It would have been nice to get an email or something so I at least would have known.






  • There is no such thing as a $3k car, those days are gone. If it’s going to be something that is expected to start and drive every day without major repairs that are overdue, you need to spend closer to $10k.

    I know this because I recently bought my sons some used cars. Used 2006 Volvo was $6k in about as good of condition it could be for the age and miles. Still needed a bunch of little things that quickly added up. New tires ($800), PCV breather system ($120 did myself), new ignition coils ($200, did myself), brakes ($80, did myself), etc. If I wasn’t doing my own work, it would have been 3x the cost.

    I also bought a 2013, nearly identical car to the 06. It needs far less, put tires on it, still has an evaporative emissions leak causing a check engine light. Not going to fix that.
