sounds legit, not made up at all

coming from someone who deals with numbers all day, just not the ones with financial indicators..

So… you are embarrassing yourself again, because you are interpreting my comments to be about inflation.  Reading in context just isn’t what you’re capable of, so maybe stick to things you’re better at, like maintaining a barbecue catering company.

Not sure why these folks did what they did but they aren't around to ask. 

Except for the guy that was shot after pointing his gun at Rittenhouse, he was around for some questions. 

“As Mr. Grosskreutz described the seconds before Mr. Rittenhouse shot him, he was shown photos that captured him pointing his gun at Mr. Rittenhouse.

“So when you were standing three to five feet from him with your arms up in the air, he never fired, right?” Corey Chirafisi, a defense lawyer, asked.

“Correct,” Mr. Grosskreutz answered.

“It wasn’t until you pointed your gun at him, advanced on him with your gun — now your hands down, pointed at him — that he fired, right?” Mr. Chirafisi said.

“Correct,” he said.”

The problem to me is that the presence of guns is a catalyst.  Some stupid people making absolutely stupid decisions when faced with a kid walking the streets with a rifle, which of course was stupid decision number one.  What the F was he doing there with that gun in the first place.

If I walk around in assless chaps I will get all the unwanted attention I can handle and more, because I’m dead fcking sexy and that’s just how that goes. Trust me on this.  I don’t want to have to fight people off, so I don’t create that situation in the first place.  I may have the right to do this, but that’s where the brain has to do some work and help me out a bit, remind me that “because I can” isn’t the same as “I should”

Could the problem have been politically condoned riots? Police departments told to stand down? Disregard for private property? Refusal to accept federal help with controlling riots, violence, and property destruction? 

Problem solving is an advanced skill. It’s most important component is properly identifying the actual problem. It’s a very common error to mistake a symptom or reaction as the actual problem when in reality it’s not the problem. 

Talk about burying the lead. SMH! 🤦🏼‍♂️

I don't know.  I'm starting to think there's a lot of things Trump has hidden that I'd prefer to never see:

I was just pointing out that at least one survived to confirm that they were all a bunch of morons on both sides of the sandbox similar to these threads.

The reason he was there was he was protecting his grandfather’s business along with a few other businesses because authorities were not. Again, I’m not defending anything he did.

I got that @Cornholio.  Layers of bad decisions.

Oops.

Please see the Stacey Abraham’s argument for why she is running for reelection as Georgias governor as direct rebuttal to this specious argument. She says she can see the fraud, but cannot prove it. One is taken to heart, the other is the “big lie”. Ironically by the same people. 

Calls himself an educator. Lol!

Maybe you can actually learn something. I’m not too hopeful however.

Just checked NADA used truck prices…my F150 4x4 King Ranch is now worth more in trade than I paid for it 5 years ago.  Crazy!
