A Pearl of Wisdom from TOS

Zerobama’s going to Florida because the old hag doesn’t have the strength or stamina to do it herself. Oh, but the mediots want to put her in charge.

Illary running the country would be akin to hooking up a large trailer to a 1977 Pinto that needs a valve job and asking it to drive up a hill. A momentary effort followed by a complete breakdown and failure. Meanwhile, Trump’s an F350 with a turbo diesel.

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.

Never forget that anyone with intelligence or thought beyond the superficial, left that rathole months or years ago. All thats left is people operating on fear.

I can not bear to visit TOS any more.  At one time it was a favorite of mine.  The inmates have now taken over the asylum.

Ummmm...that's not a compliment for Night.
Some of us who have been here since the early days know how to ride out these temporary things.

It wasn't intended as a compliment to Night or a condemnation of him. Night isn't in any way the target of my post. It's just a fact that the sane people left FR a long time ago.

F350 Turbo Diesel- Ford's worst rated truck with the most maintenance problems and recalls.
https://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/ford_f350.html

Also the highest cost truck to own and maintain and high on the Lemon score.

https://www.californialemonlaw.com/f250andf350dieselenginedefects.asp

At that, a F350 Turbo Diesel seems to be the truck with the highest probability of being a Lemon.

yep, perfect analogy.

So now you have to disguise your "Trump rants" to trick people into reading them?

If you haven't done so, looks like you can add F350 Turbo Diesel to the list.

I don't know whether that calls for it will buff out or we are going to need a bigger tub of bondo.

I remember when the F350 was a real truck. Now it's a $60,000 car with Govt/environut created issues.

1979 F-trucks FTW.

I will definitely drop in on election night when Trump is getting his butt stomped into the ground. The moaning would be epic.

I have two things planned. Searching TBR for the sure to be missing Trump supporters and counting how many Freepers are either promising to leave the country or kill NeverTrumpers.

If we have to suffer under Clinton, then I want to enjoy our last sane night on earth with the tears of her enablers.

I think it's going to be closer than the pundits are predicting, though I'm well prepared to celebrate the loser, be it Trump or Hillary. I've been saving a bottle of a 2004 Mosel Auslese for a special occasion. I've got an inventory of about two cases of wine of varying vintages, most of which are set aside for "special occasions." I'll be the first to admit my life is pretty boring...not complaining, though.

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.
