  • You ain’t wrong, but I said the same thing about him. Almost exactly. The biggest difference is I wouldn’t have to hold my nose to vote for Bernie, I genuinely like the dude and my policy quibbles come down to quibbles.

    Rant incoming.

    Hell, the DNC may run Bernie now that he’s old enough. Or they’ll pick a cop to lead the ticket where their side doesn’t like or trust the police. Anything as long as they don’t win. Their last big winners were Obama and Clinton, both of which were in their 40s. Can’t make that fucking mistake again I guess. Even on the R side it’s been middle aged people rather than geriatric motherfuckers since Reagan until Trump. When the fuck did someone decide that you can’t be president unless you were a billion years old? I want someone who represents the future and wants to take us there, not someone whose slogan is “I’ve seen the future, and it’s a better past…which I also saw because I lived through all of human history”.



  • I grew up poor as hell. I broke the cycle in my family just in time to have to deal with this shit. My garden is looking like it’s going to do well this year and if meat starts getting scarce I can go hunting from time to time or get some yard birds from the friends I get my eggs from, but god damn (or maybe I’ll go vegetarian, wouldn’t be the first time), I just wanted a little more time not having to live hand to mouth.

    But I’ll make it as long as flour doesn’t get to be the price of beef. And I’ll complain the whole fucking time.











  • Gibson has sued everyone who came close to their body style. They did win back in the day over the “open book” headstock (the mustache looking top). They’re super litigious. I don’t see them winning this for a variety of reasons, number one being that I don’t think there are really guitars.

    I love how Mr. America First keeps endorsing inferior shit made overseas. This is one hundred percent one of the hundreds of LP knockoffs that you can get for a couple of hundred bucks apiece if you buy in bulk on Alibaba with garbage pickups, sharp frets, and terrible glue joints. Probably an extra hundred bucks for the inlay and “paint job”.

    Except I bet they paid for a couple of them and that’s all they actually had made. One to show, one to put up on their wall, and the rest are “sold” and never fulfilled with a kickback to the grifter in chief. If someone actually pays the $11,000 or whatever for one with Trump’s signature they’ll order a few with the signature already stamped over the clear coat (not actually signed! shocker!) for the same couple of hundred bucks, kick back 30% to trump, and keep $6000 per idiot who wants to put that on their wall.

    Edit: What in the chicken fried fuck is a “Trumpbucker” pickup?


  • Bullshit. They want those workers scared that they’ll be deported because being afraid of that will keep their wages low and keep them compliant. This is good for the larger construction companies who employ those workers.

    I’m going to make a prediction. If I’m wrong then I’ll admit it. I think they’re going to do one wave of very loud deportations, quietly abandon it, and relax the borders briefly to fill the spots that were left by that wave. Just enough to scare the absolute shit out of migrant workers into working, coming home, not putting their kids in school, and not peeking their heads out until it’s time to make agriculture and construction companies money.

    This is drunk speculation.
