    New , on assault rife sales

    I don't know how Dick's Sporting Goods, and now Walmart, can get away with just arbitrarily setting an age limit on buying guns. They can't just go, "Sorry, you need to be 30 years old to buy a sleeping bag."

    How do you get a cargo van job?

    Expediting, whether you own the truck or drive someone else's, isn't a job, it's a small business with you as the business owner as an independent contractor. In a cargo van, it's much better if you own your own van, rather than trying to split the meager van revenue with an owner. But you...

    The Trump Card...

    On-call 24/7, hasn't had a weekend off in more than two years... I think this cigar is just a cigar, and at 29 years old she wants her life back in the private sector.

    New , on assault rife sales

    I don't own one and have never shot one, but it's my understanding that an AR 15 out of the box, you can expect a grouping of at or very near 1 MOA at 200 yards. That's certainly more than adequate for school and other closely grouped shootings, I'd think. I don't own a gun anymore (but we do...

    If we just ban the AR 15, that'll make a lot of people happy. Just don't ever tell them that there are about a dozen other rifles out there that don't look as mean, but use the same ammo and can fire just as fast and accurately.

    Best small generator that will fit between van wheel wells?

    An under-the-truck Onan hooked directly into the fuel tank is very appealing. Dealing with road grime and crawling under there every 150 hours to change the oil, not so much. Still, that would be my preference, as well.

    The Trump Card...

    I never even hinted at such a notion. We are, you're not. Look at how many of your posts (excepting the posts that consist solely of a link so someone else's opinions, of course) where you directly address the poster instead of or in addition to the post. That's unnecessarily confrontational and...

    The Trump Card...

    Quoted this particular post for no reason, so don't try to make it into something it's not. I've noticed that instead of sticking with the overall topic of this thread, The Trump Card, and talking about issues surrounding Trump and his policies and antics and his effect on the political...

    The Trump Card...

    The multitude of media reporting using sources close to or familiar with the Mueller investigation is substantial evidence of leaking. That, or, if you choose to dismiss it as such, is just a snotload of unprecedented coincidences on the Plausomoter that require more explaining away. You're...

    Cargo Van How real is the "second-month slowdown"?

    You need to keep in mind that it doesn't benefit any carrier or broker to intentionally leave their trucks sitting there empty. There is simply no incentive to do so. Yet people will sometimes have a good first month out of the gate and then a not-as-good of a second month and think that's...

    The Trump Card...

    No need to recharacterize my words. People don't infer the plausible, they infer the most likely or the most probable. They theorize the plausible. Some are even willing to fabricate sources, so we shouldn't dismiss that possibility. And ain't none of the above any proof that someone on...

    The Trump Card...

    First, considering the abundance of reporting, particularly from the NYT and WaPo, that cite sources close to or familiar with the Mueller investigation, it is not at all unreasonable to infer someone or multiple someones from the Mueller team is leaking. Second, the last several pages of this...

    The Trump Card...

    Plausible, plausible, plausible. That's the bread and butter of conspiracy theorists. Everything that can plausibly support the theory is held in great weight, and anything that doesn't is either dismissed or plausibly explained away. That's how we get just a breathtaking number of unprecedented...

    You think party affiliation matters to a Swamp Creature? OMG that's funny.

    The Trump Card...

    Fortunately, you don't have to guess. You can look it up. And when you do, you will find that not only are civil servants more partisan, they are overwhelmingly partisan Democrats. The Democratic Party is historically the party of government, of expanding government and increasing civil servant...

    The Trump Card...

    Based on the fact that he presents a conclusion and then works his way backwards from there. Based on the fact that he's very selective in which public reports he chooses to use to support his conclusion, using reports that support him, even reports from dubious sources, and rejects any contrary...

    The Trump Card...

    Yep. So when even those guys think you're even too crackpot for them, it's worth taking note of it. A), he is a former attorney who never actually worked full time as an attorney, B), he moonlighted as a PD while in college, and C), he's not assessing matters related to criminal law, he's...

    Nope. He has zero credibility, so I'm fine sticking with the ad hominem.

    Poop!

    This is a termite mound somewhere in western Australia. A couple of Aussies bought a bucket at Kmart and cut it up for the face.

    CNN uses Abramson a really, really lot. But even Huffpo mostly gives him the side eye these days. WaPo and NYT thinks he's a crackpot. In his own mind, though, Seth is a superhero. He teaches creative writing and plays with Legos. He's an academic. Everything you've wanted to know about Seth...
