Let's Go Brandon!

Who's the dame?

[WLJ]

Who's the dame?

I did not.... Whoops wrong president
Yes I did, what about it?

[RocketMan]

Who's the dame?

She's the new Republican congress critter from Colorado, Lauren Boebert.  She's trolling AOC with that dress.
Boebert is a hard core 2A supporter, owns a restaurant in Rifle, CO where all the wait staff is armed.

Well he left has gone and one upped Let's go Brandon. They win

Saw a big assed Let's Go Brandon! sticker on the rear window of a Subaru Outback this afternoon at the grocery store.

Yes, I am as guilty as Dan Rather about this.  It was like pulling teeth to get me to criticize even the blatantly criminal actions of the Jan 6 rioters because we'd been faced with months and months of nonstop rioting and violence that the left excused and justified at every turn.

"Damn! That SOB has stole himself a souvenir!"
 
"Well, it at least things aren't on fire..."

So why in 2021 when gas prices are skyrocketing the left is suddenly all “Well the President doesn’t control gas prices!”

He doesn’t control them but sure as hell his policies affect them greatly

Like your old one?  Park that in Denver and it would be atomized within a couple of hours.  Nowadays I won't have anything partisan on my car.  I even gave up my ham license plates for a nondescript Commierado NNNLLL plate a while ago.

You know, like destroying or vandalizing your car would sure teach you a lesson, you terrorist, you.

And with that secret satanist code with that slashed zero on your license plate, yet.  What does that Ø mean anyway? I don't understand it so it must be bad.

Yeah, there are parts of town that if someone I really hated lived there I would just slap a Trump bumper sticker on their car and let the locals do the rest.

That's how it was, and how I was, when I still lived in Santa Barbara. An NRA sticker (back when I liked the NRA) would have meant at the very least something like getting my car keyed, and a slashed tire or broken window would not have been out of the question. The person who would have done it would have very likely had a "coexist" sticker on their own car.

I now have a big "Idaho Second Amendment Alliance" sticker with an evil black rifle on the back window of my truck and worry not at all, even if I have to go to stinky Boise for something. Idaho has an NRA license plate available, and again, if I wasn't soured on the NRA, I might have those on my vehicles. If we had a Gadsden or "Live Free or Die" license plate available*, I'd get one of those in a heartbeat.


*Actually, I should write my state rep about that. She's an Idaho Second Amendment Alliance member as well and I bet she'd be up for submitting some patriotic plates.

[Fly320s]

Live Free or Die is overrated.  That doesn't seem to actually work around NH.

WLJ: Too true, too bad, too sad.

I watched it in the theater. It's been a while since I read the book. It was obviously marred by quota casting. That was the standout flaw. Second, the music and direction choices were a bit heavy handed and made me think I was watching blade runner 2049. Third, it had pacing issues and started to blur together in the second half. On the plus side they did stick to the book. Except for the character sex and race changes.

Even half the book is too much for a single film. Too bad they couldn't do a miniseries like Mandalorian-length.

I just re-read the book last summer.  The part the movie covered felt like most of the book.  I got the impression the remaining part of the book from that point went by really fast and there were some time jumps so there was a lot not directly covered by the book.  IMO, the 2nd movie could have a lot of scenes not in the book and still follow it.

I was at the hardware store, comparing a few products with my wife.  She remarked that the prices seemed high.  I noted that everything is getting expensive - and turned to the stranger next to me and asked "Am I right?".  He says back to me "For the last year.  Go Brandon!"

[grampster]

Went into Walmart today.  They have a house brand mustard which comes in 4 different varieties.  I like the spicy horseradish one.  I've been paying 68 cents for a 12 oz container for a couple years.

It was 96 cents today.

The Friday night special 12 oz prime rib at our favorite place was $18 last fall.  It's $32 now.  The $18 ribeye is now $38.

I can't grasp anyone who walks upright would vote for any Democrat for any reason. 

We have Jimmy Carter cubed.

I don't really care for Biden.  However, may I offer a differing perspective?

Economic forces are massive, multinational and complex.  While presidential policy does have an impact, it's only one part of one government.  Our nation is like a boat on the sea - when a storm comes the captain has some minor control, but he like his passengers is largely at the whims of forces that are much larger than he is.  As passengers it's easy to direct ire towards the captain however recognize the larger picture here.

Also, said storm might be the edge of an economic hurricane, depending on your views of modern monetary theory.

Just looked at the M1 at the federal reserve.  The money supply was quadrupled just after the inauguration and over the last year that has continued to grow.  The M1 now sits at five times what it was before the election was stolen.

M1 blew up in 2020 under Trump.  I don’t think they are even reporting M1 anymore.

They are so brainwashed they are crowing about how good he is doing and how “paying a little more is a small price to pay for economic recovery”

So why don't I feel economically recovered?

Quart of generic oil went from $4 to over $6.
 
Maybe Brandon doesn't control everything, but it didn't help that his people stomped the throttle to the floor while at the same time cranking WAP on the stereo, putting on a blindfold, and waving both hands out the sunroof...

Economic forces are also directly affected by the primary motivator of those forces -- the price of crude oil, which provides feed stock for vast amounts of the manufacturing processes required to make goods as well as the cost of the fuel that is used to transport those goods to market.

Brandon's activities have had a big hand in pushing the price of crude higher, and it's pretty apparent that he's not yet done.

Worse, his activities are also putting a LOT of pressure on the only other viable fuel stocks tied to economic production in the United States -- natural gas and coal.

Brandon has, in essence, fired the opening shots on a war on domestic energy production. I've said more than once, and I'll say it again, that he's out for revenge for the American economy proving Obama wrong when we DID, very successfully, drill our way to lower gas (and overall fuel) prices and made ourselves energy independent, to boot.
