Where you live now is great, Mr Fish. I love the high desert and the southwest
Yeah, it's great, I want to get about 320 acres out in the middle of nowhere as soon as I am free from work. I'm trying to get some rental houses together for income and check out of society asap.
The hardest thing about leaving is leaving. You get used to it, like another country, but it's actually really nice out in America. It's hard to see that in CA. That said, almost everywhere is the same to some extent these days. I traveled to Detroit, Dallas, San Diego, Oklahoma and Alabama this year, and after a while one strip mall runs into the next.
Places have changed too, the south has spiteful mutants with blue hair and angry slogans just like anywhere else. People are all just consumers with less regional difference, and they are atomized, not cohesive, so the differences fade.
Man, that sucks. I heard they were going to tax people who move for 10 years after. Maybe it's just a proposal. Sell your house before the impending doom in November when I imagine all hell will break loose.
I still want to get farther out in the desert on some land. Next 5 years probably. Yes, same house, all the usual working a lot, dealing with a freaking teenager. I got 3 Maseratis earlier this year so the usual car hobby still going. I got the blue Quattroporte in the back for myself and didn't want Mrs driving it, so got her the Levante. Then saw a rare '84 QP on sale, so got that one too. Been fixing the old one up as a hobby. It's old enough that I can work on it. Keeps me out of trouble.
A 65 mph wind came up suddenly out of the east today like some god was trying to blow the smoke back to CA. It's a sign man!
Hope Steph is well and the offspring. Also that you all are managing to stay employed through this fake and gay lockdown BS.
One parting meme though, just for you Lazs
Sure Lazs, If you'd like, I don't mind.
Choose the blue pill Lazs, settle in, go back into a peaceful sleep. There's nothing to worry about. Let Gutfeld sooth your soul, it's all gonna be just fine.
Damn aunts and uncle Toms.
Don't they know their place?
No way man, Diamond and Silk are sassy and they really make black folks run to the party. And Tyrus, why he just drops truths that are so fundamental and self-evident that all debate ends and no counter positions are possible. Just Nuff Said and that's it.
It's very digestible isn't it. Just fun banter and yay Trump stuff. They keep it at a level you surely understand, and they never say anything you don't want to hear. Their website is always thought-provoking too:
Over a million homeowners have save money by doing this! (Click to start slideshow)
Jaw Dropping Jessica! Simpson shows off 100 lb weight loss in sexy dress.
That kinda thing. I like Tucker, but they've already put him in time-out twice for saying forbidden truths. It's a matter of time before they replace him with an extra blonde robot woman they have in storage or something.
Look! We appeal to black people, okay girl? Nowhatimsayin?
NUFF SAID!
LOL idiot...
I watch the FOX opinion and comedy shows.
Yeah, you do. It's literally making you even dumber. You're from a generation that trusts TV and that's why the whole thing is a TV circus now. It literally works. My generation is not much better, but the younger ones are surprisingly free from all of this, so once you are finally gone there's hope. The TV channels will be ginning up the outrage machine and no one will be watching. Maybe in some nursing home, but zero shits will be given.
Trump's polls are high, it is a dumb time to impeach. If it got through the house it would die in the senate. He won't be impeached and if he is impeached in the house it won't matter because since Clinton everyone realizes it means nothing. What are you not seeing when you watch the circus?
It's the new normal, get used to it. If a Dem wins next time, the outrage machine will be in full swing against them. Fox on one side, the other Mainstream News channels on the other, then back again, and so on. CNN used to be neutral at one point, but they've gone full globohomo in the last few years. Two sides playing the outrage game. Turn it all off and don't participate in the outrage game. It's like a pickpocket distracting you. These aren't the droids you're looking for, move along.
He’s been attacked more than any president in my lifetime, not even Ford put up with this much shit.
Hell yeah, remember when they spent years trying to prove Trump was born in Kenya and not even an American to begin with? His challenges are the biggest ever, like nothing before, they are huge and beautiful and nothing ever never has been anything like this. He's so dreamy!
He doesn't have anything to panic about, it's just a show. The usual circus to get the two sides riled up. Not very interesting.
What is interesting is that we are still creating $75 billion per day and pumping into the banks. That's more than in 2008 in the first round of quantitative easing, or in any time since. Every day for the last week, and they plan to go through October at least. I remember when congress used to vote for bailouts, that's how old I am. With just the planned amount it'll $2.9 trillion by next month. There's no guarantee it'll end. Sometimes this happens with one bank, or at the end of a quarter, but not in this amount, and this is across the board.
Don't worry though, it's just arcane money stuff, let's get back to the impeachment drama! I am sure it is totally real and sincere and I should follow every second of it and definitely not pay attention to anything else! At least until the weekend when I should definitely watch sportsball!
As far as I am aware, the only place China is investing in is Africa.
Have you not heard of the Belt and Road Initiative?
I think the anger in terms of amount of people was the same, but lefties are much louder. And they control the media mostly, so you hear it more. I remember driving through Montana once and I stopped at this diner that had anti-Obama stuff everywhere. As for whether they needed to be obstructed, I imagine their side would say the same about you. That's kind of a point of view call there isn't it?
Is it like you love Trump so much and hate Obama so much that you can't admit both had obstruction from the other side? I don't give a shit about either of them, they're just figure heads to me. It's just an objective fact. Your responses are cult-like, it's kinda weird. No our guy has things only happen to him, first time ever! Lol weirdos.
I really don't get your point. Trump's wins are far bigger and beautiful and his challenges are far greater and so on? Explain like you are explaining to someone who isn't a sycophant. I don't get what I'm being accused of except maybe being too objective? Not enough cheerleading?
Ok Fred Astaire, stop that. You know perfectly well the kind of crap this president has had to put up with because SHE didn’t win. Worst case of butthurt in the history of the world.
Worse than the Tea Party movement? Worse than "You Lie!" and all that? You been asleep there Rip Van Winkle?
Yes Sluggo I think so. Back in a time where we had a homogeneous population and a high trust society our system worked. The sides are too different now and they have different constituencies.
