Fed up with the Fed?

Mmmm...TV dinner.  I've had a few of those and just looking at it I can almost taste it.  Must be an old one, is that 68 cents or 89 cents?  Either way, a steal right there!

Had to dig deep in the "duck and cover" backyard bomb shelter to dig that one out of the freezer.

I can't count the number of times (because it's so common) someone posted links to articles that ended up being antithetical to what they think they were about (as they just read the headline and maybe first paragraph).

the title of the article has trump bashing the feds,  i can see how thats nonpolitical in todays age

Fed piles up $66 billion in paper losses as it faces Trump's wrath

It is an article that requires one to read more than just the headline, I know that can be tough.

i did read the whole article and it does start with a political slant on why the donald should not go after the feds policy and make them look bad and how and why that can be dangerous. now did you read it. its not trumps fault the feds lost 66 billion in paper losses because of trumps wrath as the title semi suggests.  it looks like someone from huffington titled this article

a better title would be....the feds should have listened to trump

Allow me to rephrase: the article does require one to possess critical thinking skills, and not everyone does.

To me it's kind of weird anyone is losing their mind over this thread as political.  I just re-read the article.  It's about a non-political branch of the government, and it's rather interesting. 

I've always been one to say pick your battles carefully.  Gotta say, in this case,  this is pretty laughable as being in any way controversial.   So it's pretty obvious the messenger is getting the attack, not the message. 

Also, all parties here are guilty of the boilerplate "don't open the thread if you don't think you'll like it (paraphrasing here)" comments on *other* threads, probably that swing the other way, so to speak.

Carry on though.  I'll be on the sidelines mackin down on popcorn.

It would have turned that way though.  It had all the makings of it.  I guarantee it.  It's what sarge wants to do.  

No one is losing their minds Carey, so you don't have to worry about me.  

Let another BS thread post, I'll do the same.  I don't care who posts it.  

Somehow I'm reminded of the neighborhood kid that, when he didn't get his way, would take his ball and go home.

Or perhaps it's more like the kid that when he sees another group on the other side of the playground having fun but they didn't invite him he runs to the principal and complains that they are making too much noise.

Probably more the latter, but definitely the same kind of kid regardless.

Somehow, I feel you're the type person to see that other group and would choke on their choad meat to be in said group at all cost.  When in fact, you just did the deed, and they still really don't like you... 

I can care less pal about being in said group.

There are groups?  Why was I not aware of this.

So the ladies are still whining about something that doesn't exist.

If that is directed towards me, at least this little sad man can cook. Let’s see what you’ve got big boy. Put up or shut up. 

Crickets.... I’m waiting big boy. 

GrillSgt

I'm really not sure what you are asking for. I posted a fairly long thread about 3 day gravy for Thanksgiving day. I'm sure you think that was because I was too poor to buy canned gravy like you. God I hate lowering myself to the standards of a mook but sometimes I am just weak.

He won't answer you most likely. I'm still waiting on my answer as to why he rides peoples bumpers like a 25 cent prostitute..

There’s the in group, and there’s the out group.  We’ll tell you which one you’re in when you show up at Butt Blast.

At least it hasn’t become political.  That’s something.

And at this point, we’re solidly on page 2.  So if you’re here, it’s because you want to be here.

Methinks you doth protest too much.

What is "choad meat"? Not familiar with that. How long do you low and slow smoke something like that? Or do you turbo your choad meat? I'm sure you've posted pictures or a smashing video of that somewhere.

EDIT: Had to look up "choad meat" (thanks Urban Dictionary!). Ah...I guess you meant that as some sort of insult.
