@LMAO

I would like to see a copy  and paste of me posting  that you  confused voters want a dictator.



Here ya go. All yours

SOME of you seem to think we live in a system of Right and Left dictatorships,and it just ain't so. It literally took decades to knock America down to the level where we are today,and some of you fools think that ANYBODY that gets elected can change the system overnight?

Your "wet dreams come true" would be the establishment of a dictatorship by the Right,which is as un-American as a dictatorship of the left.


And another


@Hoodat

So you want a dictator.

Thanks for clearing that up.


And another

@LMAO

There are no contradictions there.

BTW,it WOULD take a dictator to make the changes you want made in just 4 years.



And this is from just this thread alone

I still don't get the connection you make  that limiting the size and power of the federal government means a dictatorship

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

You mean like:









True, often on pick-ups, but in the whole history, most badges on most lines and models and generations are small and a) hood ornaments and b) hubcap emblems.  None of them is big.

Again, ALL of Trump things are badged "Yugely" - every one, and in a big way.  So you can't miss it.

Please get the point.  ALL vs. your cherry-picked examples.

@roamer_1

The REAL problem is all the "Everything or nothing" idiots  that would be pissed if Trump  gets elected and puts up  a border wall with some support from the DNC.

Politics IS the "art of compromise",and there MUST be some give a take. None whatsoever on Constitutional issues,but on the more mundane daily business of government.

And I just KNOW this post  is  going to  have some of your heads exploding  and accusing  me  of being a Communist.

The problem is with all the "Everything MY way or nothing" cretins.

Actually, that's funny.  Because usually it's EverTrumpers who insist it must be however Trump wants it or NOTHING, and indeed they like Trump because he allegedly DOESN'T "compromise".  Which is false.

Not a bad thing, but not all good either.  Just be consistent.

@Smokin Joe

My "Daily driver" pu was my all original other that brush paint job" 1937 IHC pu. Then the radiator  blew up and  the cheapest I could find a replacement  was $1000 bucks. This happened at roughly the same time my health started deteriorating,and I kept telling myself that I was going to get better and would do it then,but I  now realize I am not going to  get better at THAT level again,and can't seem to find anyone willing to do the work. Everybody seems to only want  to  take on direct part replacement repairs these days.

AND....,this is a BIG HONKING  flathead radiator,so a smaller modern one probably wouldn't cool the engine.

Yeah,I COULD look around and find a replacement radiator that could be made to fit and work,but then it wouldn't be original anymore. Assuming,of course I get well enough  to do it or can find someone willing to do it.

Truck still has the original flat 6 IHC engine,and ran smoothly at 55-60 mph. You really couldn't tell you weren't riding in a new  truck  at those speeds.
Would one out of a '39 work. I'm nor sure how good a shape it is in, but I have one (still in the truck).

@Smokin Joe

If it is a 39 IHC half-ton pu,or MAYBE even a 1 ton,it would be a direct swap.

What kind of shape is it in,and how much do you want for it? PLEASE respond via PM on this issue.

I really don't want to modify this truck in any way. IMNSHO,the design,suspension,engine,and trans are pretty much  perfect just the way it is.

BTW,how is the stainless trim on the junker truck that you have? Some of mine is missing,but  I would buy it all in order  to have extra trim pieces if it is in good condition?

BTW,does yours have the original radio? Believe it or not,but mine did. The previous owner  took it out to have  it redone,and never got around to putting it back in. 6 volt radios are not  all that easy to  find anymore,and I am guessing  original IHC radios are about as rare as  hens teeth.

THIS

Lots of acronyms here for FR, “that other site”.

When I saw that months ago I thought terms of service, also, which didn’t make sense. Funny that Jeremy just used it here “properly”.

Problem is Acronyms are over used, and if used out of context, POS is not a point of sale, and TOS is a ton of the same.

The ticket will be Trump/Haley.  For whatever reason, the GOP is searching out the most repulsive candidates, and daring us to vote for someone else in the general election.  I'm happy to call their bluff.

In a polling memo, the Koch-affiliated Americans for Prosperity Action says Nikki Haley is the most "likable" candidate in the GOP primary and highlights her growing support in Iowa and New Hampshire.

"Haley has more room to make her case to primary voters as she is less defined than Trump or DeSantis," the memo says. ...

From some of the things that Trump has been campaigning on along with some of the comments on this forum, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if it was a Trump/Warren ticket

But if this is accurate, Biguns concerns are justified. Lobbyist don’t help candidates without expecting something in return

There a bit of a chicken/egg with lobbyists.  Sometimes, they are trying to buy votes.  But sometimes, they're just supporting those people who already truly agree with them on an issue.

In this case that strikes DeSantis from my list of possibles.

I still think Haley is going to be the GOP nominee.  I believe she has already been selected by the establishment GOP.

I just can't see myself voting for her.

Sigh. At best, I'll probably be voting down ballot.

Two people I feel the 'establishment' doesn't want in -- Trump and DeSantis and there is no way that they are going to be the nominees.

Just my opinion.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
