I will cheer if McConnell tests positive.

The best outcome is if Trump has a tube down his loving throat come Nov 3 and the election is a wipeout. Personally I feel the chances of Pence being President 46 for a few weeks before Biden is sworn in got real

You're quite correct in that assessment, it looks like it's a modified Quadra cycle that utah trikes manufactures. Makes sense that they'd adapt an existing design for their needs. Hopefully that means it's well designed and despite being the first iteration of the model there's no bugs/glaring flaws

Yeah I pretty much would be hard pressed to pick a worse time - people are voting right now, he loses two weeks of campaigning on the road in the best case senario, he looks weak, he has been pinned to the overarching failure of policy that lead to 7 million infected, a million with chronic condtions, over 200,000 dead - there is nothing good for him at all. Asfar as I am seeing the chat and news is all about his failures and how his failures got him into this situation.

At his age and fatness, Covid is I think close to 15% fatality, chronic issues are another 20%, very VERY few people in his bracket get out of it easy. Sure, he has the worlds best medical services however that's not going to change the chances that much. There really is a good chance his fat rear end will be on a ventilator right on election day.

Mine's an auto 3.6l VR6 and, after having a modded 1.8T manual Jetta, the newer 275hp motor stock is so much more of a beast than a modded turbo 4, it's not even funny.

The base car is fine. It's strong, not un-fun to drive, and reasonable. But the electrical is pure nightmare fuel. Right now, my 2-axis swivel headlights work fine, but the car flags them as broken, so 60% of the time I have a flashing yellow light on the dash. The driver's door won't lock, the left turn signal randomly fast flashes and says there's a problem with the left front bulb, but it's fine and the problem comes and goes. The headliner just poo poo itself. The perforated leather, that's in the car you're looking at too, likes to tear at the perforations. The soft touch covering is off in most places (there's cheap chinesium replacements for the driver's door stuff, the rest is $$$).

In general, it's a 15 year old VW.

Edit: And I bought it about a year ago for $1200 and had to drop another $1k for a steering lock failure that required dealer programming. So I'm into it for about $2500 right now, and that's about what I'd say it's worth. Book value is almost $4k, but they just don't bring that.

And don't get me wrong, I like the car. It's just that its problems are lol.

Well poo poo, I'm annoyed. Trying to renew my car registration, but I haven't received the renewal form yet.

Got the car inspected. Can't renew online because apparently the state doesn't know about the inspection yet (despite it showing online when I look on the vehicle inspection history website). Normally they know the same or next day. I now live in a different county, so I can't just go to the grocery store to renew it (that's a thing here, and sometimes cheaper than doing it directly with the county). Lost the title in the move, so I can't update the drat address on file (you need the title #). I did manage to get a replacement title an hour ago, but I have to do the address update by mail. There's a form you can fill out attached to the renewal letter to update your mailing address, but it doesn't update the car's actual location (or county of registration...)

tl;dr gonna have to wait for the address update to be received and address updated, then I can make an appointment (they're booked solid over a week out) at the tax office. :sigh: I could try to do both at the same time, but with how hard it is to get an appointment, may as well just wait.

Lowtax lied about the authorities coming for a visit.

Also quoted -

"Per people on air force 1, he was exhibiting flu like symptoms after the debate

Pet Chris Christie, nobody was wearing masks during the debate prep

Hope Hicks spent 3+ days with Trump in a tiny room doing debate prep, and has infected at least two people, so far, probably also the RNC chair, which makes her a super spreader"

somehow Boris gained from getting Corona so i think it's hard to tell how the electorate will react. some people will probably feel bad for him! the dem strategy, which i think is OK, has been to let trump get out there in public and hang himself. he won't be doing that for a couple weeks. the less he talks, the more people like my MIL who are probably going to vote for him are inclined to give him a pass and forget about the horrible poo poo he says.

I refused to be discouraged so I’m doing my best to enjoy my day.

The weather is perfect here in Atlanta and I’ve gotten the chance to drive the 335d with the windows down. The back right turn signal is out which is fine bc no one expects a bmw driver to use their turn signals anyways.

I totally get now why BMW guys are a thing. You are king of the highway in this thing. Yeah Tesla’s have more torque but this thing pulls just as hard at 100mph (in Minecraft of course).

I was an alt right guy back in 2014-2015. I would have voted for trump but I was too homeless and on heroin to do it.

The alt right nazis (really any radical political ideology) exclusively attract losers.

It did not take me long to wake up and get my poo poo together. Looking back on it I just hated myself and hated my lovely life (never mind most of my problems were of my own creation), and I just wanted other people to suffer in the same way I was suffering.

It takes a very sick person to openly advocate for this stuff, speaking from experience.

Ppl don’t really wake up though. Most ppl in general can’t think past their own death and don’t care. It’s all about them and no one else. I figure it has always been like this and try not to let it get to me. It’s not worth it IMO.

Just to be clear, my father did not abuse me. He did on occasion spank me but I was a rotten kid at times and it was a punishment, he never hit me for no reason or out of rage when I was a child. I was assaulted and abused by my classmates over sharing a name with a famous person with AIDS. I believe I've shared the story here before.

I immediately went worst case scenario last night - which is Trump dies or is incapacitated. That lets the RNC have a do-over, and it lets Trump off the hook. And puts the country in constitutional crisis trying to figure it all out. Death is the easiest, most certain way Trump and his backers maintain their delusions.
