Fucking auto makers are certifiable. A damned entry level work truck costs above 40k now! If I want to replace my 3/4 ton diesel truck with a new one just like it? 65k!

And yet those performing the work to assemble those same vehicles are being paid half the hourly wages of those that performed those same jobs in 2003. . .

WTF?!

The Troll

  Palehorse,
 I can get you around 14% off the price of new car or truck with a Ford Family plan discount.  I sure would look at the new Ford Ranger 4 door pickup.  Smaller, good gas mileage, I think it would be great to drive back forth to Indianapolis and with the features of a pickup.

  I get you a number, you go in, pick the truck you want and no hassle, no fuss.  If the truck is on sale or discount you get that money off too.  Best way to buy this way is with no trade in.  The dealer can play with the price they want to pay for your old one.

  If you are interested, get in touch with me and I will get you a Pin Number and you go to any Ford dealer for the price.  I just bought a new Ford F-150 with everything on it. Aluminum body and bright red and a Ecoboost engine. Wow what a great truck.  Hate to say it, but it my last new truck.  :cry:  :cry:

Deeply appreciate the offer Troll. I am VERY happy to see you're back, and hopefully we'll on the road toward better health my friend.

I said the truck I have would be the last I would ever buy, and with prices how they are that just may end up being the case. I could get the rust in the rocker panels fixed and repaint the beast completely and be 50k ahead. Even if I had to put a fresh set of injectors in her. I'll mull it over for a bit though. Anyway the whole point of me saying all of this was to point out this VERY well may NOT be the last truck you buy. You've got grit and spunk, and I wouldn't be surprised if you have another couple of decades in you yet!

I surely hope so!

There are several facets of this impeachment probe that do not pass the smell test...
 
Such as the collusion between the whistleblower and the staff of Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA). for one...
 
How about the numerous obvious falsehoods.
 
Like Pelosi's attitude about impeaching President Trump...she is consistently telling the public that it gives her no pleasure to do this and that it makes her very sad..what a crock of BS!!
 
Like ALL of the Leftists, she hates this President! Her whole goal is to drive him from office.
 
As a matter of fact...it's the platform the Democrats ran on to retake leadership in the House of Representatives!
 
To her credit, she is just fulfilling a campaign obligation to go after Trump....and it gives her great pleasure.

 The most annoying thing is her claim that she "prays for the President" constantly.
 
What a bunch of BS!! I don't believe this for one second!  Instead, this San Francisco elitist liberal is thrilled! She is nothing but an instigator of so much grief for our nation.
 
She can give two sh!ts about what is best for our Nation.
 
Impeaching Trump makes her the center of attention and that's exactly what she wants. If she honestly DOES pray, she prays to achieve nothing more than the enhancement of her own power.  Yet YOU guys buy into her crap!!
 
Sad times....yet, I have this sense of reality that despite what is going on with her party...Trump is going to prevail and our Nation will take another step in what really is best for this Nation.

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

No tear here.......I'm just smelling an epic landslide victory for Trump.... ;) ;D

They're crying because they don't understand the proceedings, and that Drunpf and his congressional minions are telling them to cry.

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ...
