I have never understood how people who slobber all over Trump can honestly complain abut elitism.

I expect to see gas up around the $4 mark here in Metro Detroit within the next week or two. I think it's feasible that by April, if Trump's war drags on, that we hit $5/gallon.

Was $4 a gallon this morning in cleveland at GetGo. 

Thanks Trump!!

This is absolutely perfect, and perfectly true.

I would further stipulate that there is nothing red hats love more than when rich people come off as not smart. That’s the coolest thing in the world to them, because it is essentially a rebuke to smart people.

Not to mention it helps fuel the fantasy that they too can become rich someday if they just want it badly enough.

It's easy, just grift stupid taxpayers out of their money. If you're famous, they let you do it.

Had a teams meeting scheduled with some Stryker folks yesterday, noone showed up. Spoke with someone later yesterday and everyones laptops and cell phone that logged in got wiped. Those that tried to use their laptops got the blue screen of death. They sent everyone home from the Portage plant, no production indefinitely.

Shocked, not shocked.  Edman, your oblique and very validated point from last week.  Thoughts?

Remember when our MAGA rep here told Edman to take off his tin foil hat when he suggested this thing could happen? Good times.

They knew this dude was a potential risk. Probably the same with the guy in West Bloomfield. Maybe if Homeland Security and ICE would keep track of serious possible risks rather playing cowboy to harass blue states, these events might not have happened.

But what do I know, I'm just a woke lib who needs to smell grass (once the snow melts)

[chasfh]

Do we know yet about the West Bloomfield guy?

Suspect was deceased but not by gunshot. I just took an active shooter safety course and they recommended a fire extinguisher to the head .....if possible of course.

The whole damn country is going to have to train up and be ready because this is just the beginning.

technically he was out of ICE's jurisdiction as he was a naturalized citizen. Doesn't leave the FBI any excuse, but Kash has been too busy making up to MMA stars.
