you want fries with that? For a while up here there was a tv ad for the Trumpy Bear which had a hidden American flag in it's secret rear compartment. They must have sold out or gone broke since the ads ended. I was thankful to not see it again. It was grotesque and overpriced.
They're still for sale: https://gettrumpybear.com/
Maybe they're so popular that they don't need any more ads?
"Quantities will be limited"
"Limited time offer" It's the same fucking bear or the same fucking price 2 years later. Even the doll modeled on him is a scam.
Believe me when I say I am not making this up. I swear to everything holy that my eyes were not deceiving me. I did a quadruple take just to confirm that I did in fact see what was before my eyes.
I was cruising down the road about fifteen minutes go. Driving opposite me was a large pick em up truck replete with NRA and Trump/Pence bumper stickers.
But that's not all -
I shit you not. This man had a life size bust sticker of Donald Trump's face stuck to his passenger window.
Does that mean that large pick em up truck guy drives around looking at Donald Trump's life size ass?

Nttawwt.
A good price for me? I would have to really think about it if they offered me two payments of $19.99 to accept one. The decision would be based on how likely I would be to have to take a dump while on the highway and whether I'd rather have a roll of paper towels handy instead of Trumpy Bear to wipe myself. As we all know, it's pretty easy to know when "a storm is coming" from one's anus, and I guess having Trumpy Bear would be of some measure of comfort should one suffer a deficit of paper towels.
Trumpy Bear last night escalated the trade war with China, and then lied about what it means saying that China pays the tariff directly to the US Treasury, which is total bullshit. I'm sure the sycophants will believe this nonsense even after they realize they're paying a lot more for their Wal Mart harvest. This has caused me to break out my book of quotes that I've kept and added to over the years. Here are a couple of them for your perusal and consideration.
"In our country the lie has become not just a moral category, but a pillar of the state." - Alexandr Solzhenitsyn
Beware of "a man unprincipled in private life" and "bold in his temper" one day arising who might "mount the hobby horse of popularity" and "flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day" in order to "throw things into confusion that he may ride the storm and direct the whirlwind." - Alexander Hamilton
Oh, you have a NY Times account to view material and Vrede doesn't. Nice try Neo, do you have a credible link that non-subscribers may view?
No, I have no NY Times account; I was able to read the story on my 13 year old Windows Vista computer. The story did say two states; Maine and either NH or VT have no restrictions on felons voting; they can vote while incarcerated. Several other states have varying levels of allowing felons to vote. Some states deny felons the vote forever. That's the gist of the article.
Meanwhile, back in Vermont, where Republicans are still rational...
"The last thing we want to do is start putting up insurmountable barriers to participation in civic life because someone may have been convicted of a crime," a spokesman for the state Republican Party, Mike Donohue, told NBC News. "People’s right to vote is sacred.

Yeah, parallel universe, time-travel, matrix type story. Na, nobody would be able to suspend disbelief that much.
The next POPOTUS book that he will neither write nor ever read:
The Art of the NO Deal . . .
with China, Kim, Iran, Mexico, Canada, Mauro, our Allies, Congress and Often the GOP, and with the World on Climate
Thinking about the 45SHOLE kids -
We know that the 3 eldest are clueless and complicit.
We've discussed how Tiffany can barely disguise her disdain for POSPOTUS.
I just realized this - we don't know what Barron thinks, but there's a distinct lack of pics of them engaging in the normal father-child interactions that we've seen with ALL previous young WH kids. He's a rotten dad, too. Maybe Barron is just the trophy child of the trophy wife, evidence of fertility (probably ) but not of being a man.
"Trump takes over Fourth of July celebration, changing its location and inserting himself into the program"
Likely attendance will have a sharp drop, TV viewers will be watching NY/Boston celebrations, Trump's "organizers" will find someway to misspell "July" and orchestra members will refuse to perform.
As I post this, trump's latest tweet says "Such an easy way to avoid tariffs? Make or produce your goods and products in the good old USA. It's very simple!" What a dumb fuck this guy is.......if corporate America hadn't sold out the American worker about forty years ago for cheap foreign labor, and gotten tax breaks for doing so, we'd still be making things here like televisions, furniture, clothes.....this guy is dumber than a bucket of rocks. How in the hell does he think we can make products here with American workers and sell them at a profit to other countries in the current economic situation. Clueless moron.

Is there anything that he can't and won't ruin?
Nothing found so far. I'm actually as much or more appalled at the "small stuff" (like Kentuky and World Cup Series) as with the issues that matter. A lot of what Trump does can be explained by his self-centered personality, his hatred of all things Obama, and his Mafia-mindset on loyalty. But even within that context, he really is just ignorant, clueless and cruel.

We always watch Boston Pops on the Esplanade. The only way I'd watch donald frederickovich is if he set himself on fire, like one of those Vietnamese monks back in the 60s.
People are crazy and times are strange. I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range.
I used to care, but, things have changed.

At a CNN town hall event on April 22, presidential hopeful and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was asked whether his support for allowing inmates to vote would extend to Boston Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Tsarnaev has been sentenced to death for his role in the 2013 attack.
Sanders responded that he believes U.S. citizens should not lose their right to vote, even those that have committed horrific acts. Trump and other Republicans immediately seized on Sanders' comments, arguing it showed that Democrats have moved too far to the left. https://www.npr.org/2019/05/09/72075132 ... candidates
Most states already deny 6.1 million ex-cons the vote, so Sanders’ proposal—which he also laid out in a Fox News town hall a week earlier—to enfranchise the 1.5 million or so currently incarcerated felons (muggers, rapists, murderers, drug dealers and users, car thieves, bank robbers, burglars, et al.) struck most as just another of the senator’s wacky progressive proposals. Republicans have accepted Sanders’ comments as a political gift in-kind. The Republican National Committee issued a statement denouncing him for wanting “convicted terrorists, sex offenders, and murderers to vote from prison.” Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) tweeted his umbrage and ripped Sanders for wanting to give the vote to the Boston bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and Charleston mass murderer Dylann Roof. Senator Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), tweeted that Democrats wanted to give the vote to inmates of the Supermax prison in his state. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story ... ote-226712

There are probably some good arguments for or against stripping citizens of their voting rights upon felony conviction, but actually I haven't heard any. Republicans seem to arbitrarily consider it ridiculous just because Bernie said it, without offering any rationale as to why it's done now, nor why it should be continued. I suppose residency might be an issue. Some place like Deer Lodge that has more inmates than not could (theoretically) see the inmates take over politics, but it would seem an inmate's residence could be kept the same as when s/he went in.

Funny you mention that. Prison jurisdictions count inmates for census purposes and get the consequent money and political power (which gets used to support prisons) even though inmates can't vote and all of their costs to the community are already paid for.
You're correct about there being no downside. In the history of crime no one has said, "I'll obey the law so I can vote." It's a duty, not something cushy. That said, I'm not sure why Bernie took it on - too many whiny idiots out there for it to be a political winner.

It's the same fucking bear or the same fucking price 2 years later. Even the doll modeled on him is a scam.
