SO was thinking about buying a (edit: [insert “new”]) car this year, yeah… that’s not happening.

Exactly, where do you think he’s getting the money to build out these ‘detention centers’ (read: “concentration camps”)? From gutting all other government services and agencies that don’t support his agenda to enrich his buddies and silence his dissenters.

These camps WILL be put to use once he moves to the next step, targeting fully legalized and naturally born American Citizens for ‘disloyalty’. It is coming, it is clearly evident. Unless Congress or the SCOTUS pulls hard on their reigns, we re rushing headlong into this.

Mid-January… epiphany.

They’re probably still using unsecured comms, and are paying attention now.

Oh, come on. When you and your neighbor are in the same socio-economic bracket sure, that’s fine. But, when you have a petty neighborly fight with Elon Musk, do you really think it’s a fair fight?

It’s like pooping, why would I wait until I got home if I could be paid to do it at the office?

I mean, if the CIA weren’t actively undermining communist governments and causing them to collapse, or funding spoiler or puppet candidates to distort the communist government’s growth and ideals, because communism is a direct assault on capitalism and their capitalist overlords… then maybe you’d see a functioning communist country…

Spoiler: they won’t.

The idea that Art of the Deal can’t get this guy back is absurd, they have the power and ability to do so. They refuse to.

This is the important part. Trump 1.0 didn’t have carte blanche to get away with everything, the SCOTUS and a more compliant Congress have given 2.0 that authority.

Mob style, bribery and physical threats to your family and loved ones.

I took my car into the dealership for a full work-up and diagnostic in January, roughly $1k… mentioning the light and the recall I had heard about. Well, they said everything was good and unless I brought the car in with the light on they couldn’t do anything about it or the recall. Days later, the light came back on driving home early from work. So, I head right there, while the engine is stuttering and fighting to make it across town. There isn’t any availability until end of the following week…

I go across town to a hole in the wall mechanic and get seen immediately. They diagnose a cracked head gasket and blown radiator pretty quickly, order a new engine because it’s like $375 and under $2k to install. Done by Monday.

I originally went to the dealership. I explained the problem, the cars keep a warning light log that they can access… and they missed the obvious issues but still charged me $1k for work that didn’t matter my more, because I got an entirely new engine and radiator.
