I have a 2016 vintage 2 liter Pepsi with real sugar, A couple cans of Grizzly chewing tobacco and a bag of pork rinds. However I may splurge and get the more refined Kodiak as it's a special occasion and I want to live like rich people for the night.

It is hard to choose which truck best represents the Trump campaign.

JR had a history of referring to Trump as a con man in previous election cycles.  Quoting that posting history got me kicked.  Hypocrites.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Never took it as a slight, Norm. Carry on.

There's a few left, I see nathanbedford post on occasion.

I do miss his post.

Would lead one to the conclusion that TOS received funding from Campaign Trump.

Certainly didn't stop JR from posting pleas for his beg-a-thons in breaking news every day.

Nice pic. Here's the Trump F350 before he wrecked it...

He's right...Trump's a turbo diesel F150, with loose engine brackets, missing lug nuts, and a few dozen screws loose, going 95 mph in a 45 mph zone. It could end badly.
@Night Hides Not

Your post reminds me of an in-law man in his 40s who is an alcoholic and he drives the truck you describe above.  I think I remember it cost in the $60,000 range.  It has, or had as the case may be now, every known truck gadget on the face of the earth.  Many times it was in the shop due to the behavior of this man.  He would blow through toll roads without paying and not pay the bills for that he received.  Numerous times, he got tickets for driving wayyyy over the speed limit.  At the time I knew him, I don't think he was ever arrested but he should have been as he could have killed someone. 

He thought the truck was his ticket to do anything on the highway he wanted.   Numerous men have this mindset with their truck but he was over the top crazy with this killer machine.

Could be his behavior is as Trump's - go hog wild without thinking of the damage one can do to others, in fact, be oblivious to others.

I would have thought you would have posted this, from "The Wicker Man":




Well isn't that the beauty of a strawman?  You can destroy it in any manner you like because it doesn't fight back.

He accuses everyone of the strawman fallacy.  He thinks he is clever when he is really only revealing ignorance.

To quote Thomas Edison,  "we are all ignorant,  just on different subjects." 


We all occasionally reveal ignorance.   This is a very different thing from reveling ignorance.

Lots of Trump F350's on this thread. Look. Here's another.



Unfortunately for Trump. This is as close as he'll get to the White House. Secret Service agents came and towed that truck away.

What a waste of $8,000 worth of Coliovers.
