    The Trump Card...

    I think it's called "parroting". Which says quite a few things about them. None positive however. As Voltaire once said: No snowflake in an avalanche, ever feels responsible. Course 1 positive in hard bound "tp" is it might be handy for traveling.

    Democratic Nominee 2020

    Sounds like your trying to say she has more sense than Trump? (If she does not run this is a proven point too) he he he Alas our man (Trump) lacked this good sense (visualize him in a river arms stretched trying to hold it back) I don't care for his verbiage, but I accept it since what he's...

    How would you choose?

    I'll give her credit for her choice. For me i to believe I'd have chosen differently.

    Demageddon

    In one of these threads a video was posted of nancy pelosi decrying the tax plan as Armageddon. Since then 3 of the 4 "Yeti's of the Apocalypse" have swept across the USA (riding their polar bears). Freezing our collective butts. The 4th revealed himself in a flanking maneuver, sweeping up the...

    We're winning with NAFTA'

    Quite valid OVM. But a fair trade off. (No value prices) personally I could live with that. As you mentioned earlier, I think my transit has to many turkey parts. (yes I'm alluding to poor quality) Damn shame too I use to be quite fond of Turkey. Ottoman empire & all that. But i Like the Kurds too

    The Trump Card...

    The only feeling evoked here is "ire" Maybe some anger too. Sadly I suspect you are all to correct. Voting with my dollars I haven't spent there in decades. Now feeling is "pleased".

    We're winning with NAFTA'

    I went to college late (44-47 yrs old). One of the saddest things I learned was in economics. While I (among others) have always sensed this it sorta hurt to see it in graph form. I.E. from 1970 to then current (2000) While world figures went up (some down) U.S. wages were straight "flat lined"...

    The Trump Card...

    Thanks turtle, I understand now. If the GOP had left taxes alone we wouldn't all be freezing right now. Thus Armageddon had begun.

    We're winning with NAFTA'

    Hhhhmmm true OVM. I pondered it in the vein of lesser quality vs to many different locations assemblies moving to. Whose to say about their stuff? (Outside NA) Honestly I noticed no responses an read the article an thought to stir the pot a bit.

    We're winning with NAFTA'

    Having pondered the article and having read threads all over the place of "woe unto you" PM, transit, sprinter buyer. I feel that NAFTA is the problem. Parts coming from everywhere. Quality indeterminate. Even assembled hither, thither & yon. Almost seems a wonder they work at all. Thus the...

    Beware the Landstar $100 Walmart Gift Card

    Now that's interesting??? Only takes a digit to get routed elsewhere that's for sure. Still generally if it's "free", it seldom is.

    Beware the Landstar $100 Walmart Gift Card

    I worked for a company years ago with a department devoted to the type of thing you got caught in. While I can't see how landstar would gain from it, it seems I've once experienced something similar with a truck company. The key is focus on your purpose for calling them, alas you were side...

    Trump Winning

    I've discussed this (tax reform) with non-truck people & have heard many explanations on various "squak" radio (am). From what I've gathered it seems decent enough to me. In execution, it remains to be seen. I am supportive of it according to my understanding and will hope for positive results.

    Trump Winning

    Laughing so much the van was rocking. Cop bangs on the window "get a room" "that ain't allowed in Walmart parking lot". Stuck my head out grinning "sorry officer, just me laughing" (some days it don't pay to be old & fat")

    The Trump Card...

    Those days are long gone & are not related to current state of affairs. Our military are over extended, navy can't drive their boats, army while seldom winning international competitions can't even place in top 3 any more, Marines are wore out, air force planes can't fly. We are over extended...

    The Trump Card...

    Let the Russians & the Chinese have them. Let their budgets run deficits for a change. Let their soldiers go to God forsaken places to die and be maimed for god knows what reason. Since I was 10 we have been in a war somewhere for my entire life except for one 7 year period. So what exactly...
