I thought the wigs were just the Brit version of cunning hats, since the Brits haven't mastered central heating yet . . .

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

It’s a small but irritating aspect of CCW: I would declare that the US Post office is no longer a gun-free zone.

All vehicle ads must have price, used vehicles have to include odometer. Violators will be imprisoned in a AMC Gremlin in the town square for no less than 30 days in the town square of their town of business. This include private party advertisements, such as classifieds, online or print.

More seriously, I've always figured that the funny and elaborate uniform is to somewhat conceal the man while emphasising the office.  You aren't pissed at Joe X, you're pissed at "the judge", who you might not even recognize on the street in civilian clothing.

By the same token, in the court you aren't arguing with the person so much as at the office, and that is a higher bar.

Depends on how far back you want to go. The real answer is yes.

Well, my dogs breed was established before the bible was written and actually mentioned in it. So a sightawolf? (Early sighthounds crossed with the asiatic wolf)

Aren't the "pure bred" dogs mostly designer mutts anyway?

I'm not clear on what you're saying there.  Sounds like you're reinforcing Hawkmoon's point.

What am I not understanding?

Just going with the flow since I really don't want to get into it, but I still feel the need to say something.

My first car was a 1974 Gremlin X.   It was great for hauling a lot of stuff and got good mileage for it’s time.  The electrical system sucked.  At least I could be sure that my girlfriend loved me and not just my car.  (We’re still together after 37 years of marriage.)  Of course, she drove a Chevette, which I usually called the Shitvette.

An inescapable island purgatory would established for mandatory, permanent exile of all SJW types and idiot socialists.  They would be allowed to set up whatever government their black little hearts desired.  Pay-per-view of the inevitable chaos and stupidities would make billions.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I have seen a chevette frozen up, run that way until the motor locked up, start up again once thawed and keep on like nothing happened. That little four banger was near indestructible.

Shitty cars reminds me that I want a Subaru 360. Probably have to re motor it.

As Emperor, I would establish games on a small, remote island in the Aleutians.

On one side of the island, I would drop off KKK types, Aryan Nations members, political skinheads, and neo-Nazis.

On the other side of the island, I would drop off an equal number of Black Panthers and other black gang members, Farrakhan followers, Colin Kapernick, and everyone who voted for Maxine Waters or Sheila Jackson Lee.

I'd scatter medieval weapons around the place, and provide limited facilities for food and shelter . . . put armored cameras everywhere . . . and let both groups settle their differences on 4K tv.

Probably would charge a modest pay per view fee.

Worst thing you can do to such people is take all their money, power, and yes people away and make them clean gas station toilets. They get a certain % of their money back after 5 years and good performance reviews and then more at 10 years. A bad performance reviews adds years.
