      1. Fantastic cuts ADD! And in a weird twist of irony … I took a trip to the dump last Sunday with my dump trailer (just cleaning up some construction trash) and what tune comes on my favorite local HS radio station? … but Mountain Jam. The song started right as I left home … and didn’t end till I returned home. It was pure sonic bliss … and made the drudgery downright enjoyable.

        https://youtu.be/5-3L1MFBKZY?si=Lt1Sfy6yY3OJLgz0

        And the Southern boys actually fit perfectly into my favorite psychedelic genre’ as most people mistake this tune as a Grateful Dead cut … as the guitar licks of Duane Allman sounds identical to Jerry Garcia. And the root of the tune is my boy Donovan’s classic song.

        1. Sorry … but thinking of Donovan covers … this one is right up there with the best.

          PS … my vinyl is DEAD QUIET … a totally black background. And yeah … it takes some $$ equipment, pristine vinyl, and fastidious cleaning/storage to achieve that. But seriously … nothing sounds better than vinyl. Nothing.

          1. Strongly agree re vinyl vs digital audio,
            disappointingly surprised when CD’s arrived,
            especially under proper volume (loud).

            No McIntosh but,
            Arcam’s/Monitor Audio’s/powered Mackie’s
            = Very Loud, nothing beats adrenalin.

          2. That’s gotta sound fantastic! Arcam is top equipment … I’ve been looking for an integrated streamer/amplifier … I know … I’m caving … but it’s mainly easy operation for the wife. Arcam has some good units.

            My Spendor speakers that I love … and my monoblocked MC-275’s need a refresh. They sound fantastic … but mostly mid range bliss. I need some monster power again and speakers with a bigger bottom end that ROCKS! The older I get the more… the louder I need it … hahahahaha ha. Just kidding. My hearing is great.

      2. And ADD … I have a few lp’s that are getting extra rotations these days. Wishbone Ash … and this absolute GEM of a Minnesota psychedelic era band – Gypsy. Damn! These boys were REALLY GOOD and sadly overlooked. Yeah my favorite “free form” HS radio station KVHS plays this …

        I adore this EPIC tune that changes styles and tempos from country folk to psychedelic rock to jazz along the 10 minute journey. Just a superbly crafted song.

        Yep … time to get things done till we’re all Dead and Gone

    1. T.O.O.C – Trump is clearly trying to give Poilievre a boost with that video but he also notes “The conservative that’s running is, stupidly, no friend of mine. I don’t know him, but he said negative things,” he said. “When he says negative things, I couldn’t care less.”. Trump is telling Poilievre to give him a call.

      1. You’re insisting on seeing the 5D chess. It is not Trump sending messages, it is not Trump boosting anyone, it is Trump deciding which foot to put in his mouth first.

        1. You did it! You actually saw reality as it is, and even belted out a good one-liner! Too bad you are 10+ years too late.

          1. See, you have TDS, I don’t. We’re not the same. There is a lot of things that Trump did great during his first term, there is a lot of thing he is still doing great. Unfortunately, on international stage he is increasingly hopeless this term, and he seems to have surrounded himself with sycophants of mediocre quality. It wasn’t like that during the first term but dementia progresses with age.

          2. It was like that during his first term too, had just had better people around him to rein him in. His first term was also a disaster with weak economic growth and tons of debt, now he’s turbocharging it all. No I do not have Trump Dick-sucking Syndrome.

          3. “Trump Dick-sucking Syndrome.”
            That would be TDSS – something that a lot here are suffering from. You just got the plain TDS aggravated by your turd world status and lack of civilizational allegiance.

            P.S. Hope he deports your family after they do hard time for drug related crimes.

          5. I have children, you have cheered for a world without children, you live alone and are a virgin. You’re replacing none and none will miss you.

          6. He’s a virgin? His GP has substantial rectal surgery records that call that into question.

    1. I got three separate george foreman grills as presents when they first came out.
      Stunk up the whole house, always overcooked the shit out of hamburgers cause i was used to charcoal. Grey and dry but somehow more greasy at the same time. Still have one somewhere.

      Would have been cool to see him box though.

      1. I had one. So did a lot of other people!:

        “ As part of his original deal in 1995, Foreman took about 40 percent of the profits. At the time, Salton CEO Leonhard Dreimann revealed that Foreman was taking as much as $4.5 million per month. Foreman later told AARP that he made “much more” than $200 million on the grill, and earned up to $8 million per month. “

  4. Four beautiful smaller cities to visit in Europe: Bordeaux, France, Tallinn, Estonia, Nuremberg, Germany and Seville, Spain.

  5. The great European cities. Paris, London, Greece, and Barcelona.

    Yeah, that city Greece, 99% burner cell phone shops, 24 hour motorcycle repair garages, Yorgo souvlaki and humus, 2000 year old out-houses and 1% temples of Apollo.

      1. Punk thieves on e-bikes rolling up from behind.

        Here’s an idea Britain! Make open-carry and conceal-carry legal … and see how many criminals get removed from society … and as Trump likes to say … QUICKLY! … and London returns to the swinging ‘white’ cultural capital it was in the 1960’s.

        In today’s Britain … ‘Twiggy’ … would be servicing 25 Paki’s/day in a rape gang

    1. Jew hater- ever hear the expression, “What goes around comes around.” Just playing by Hamas rules.

    3. I don’t know about you but I always store my rocket launcher under my kid’s crib where I know it will be safe.

    5. The Islamists always say they love death more than Jews love life, so it’s extremely important to give every single Islamist as much love as they can handle, from the oldest to the youngest, love them all.
      Then they go to Hell and get ass-raped by 72 barb-c0cked Imps.
      What’s to complain about?

    6. So what is the problem here? The “Inbreds for Allah” all go to their so-called heaven if they die for Jihad. This is what they wished for and planned for when they slaughtered innocent Israelis. Jihadis should be rejoicing, not whining for sympathy.

    1. I have to ask for the record if you can explicitly define “ork.”
      I must have missed that day in class.

      1. I often wonder that too, but I’m more concerned with my tax dollars being pisssed away on the cross dresser’s efforts to destroy his own country.

      2. FC, the answer to your question is: any and all russians who are being russian, acting russian, supporting russian imperialism, supporting russian way of life etc. F@#$ them all. They are worthless.

        “Russia is a country of poverty, misery, booze and great literature about poverty, misery and booze.” ~ Karel Havlíček Borovský

        There is nothing of value, nothing that ought to be preserved.

        General Patton was right when he said: “I have no particular desire to understand them except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them… the Russian has no regard for human life and they are all out sons-of-bitches, barbarians, and chronic drunks.”

        John von Neumann (possibly the most intelligent man who ever lived) was right too when he said: “With the Russians it is not a question of whether but of when,… If you say why not bomb them tomorrow, I say why not today? If you say today at 5 o’clock, I say why not one o’clock?”

        None has done more harm to humanity than this cancerous afterbirth of Mongol Empire.

        1. Well, that took some courage, I must admit. Others would have ignored the challenge, but you didn’t even hesitate. I wish politicians would be as forthright. I know Carnage is talking from both sides of his mouth.
          But now, it’s my turn…
          I will not condemn all Russians as sub-human. That’s simply too broad a brush for my liking. There must be at least a few that do not fit the mold.
          But you’ve made it very clear what your position is on the country, and Russians in general, and now people will have to reflect on that when they read your posts.

          1. No courage at all. I postulate doing to russia what was done to Germany or Japan in WWII (minus rebuilding) after. Russia is committing another genocide and russians are cheering. They have to be killed until they stop cheering and the sooner it is done the less bloody the end game will be. One thing for sure the idea of russia being more than a a backward Asian country needs to die.

          2. fc, there’s no need to reflect on the C calling for genocide. It’s called evil, pure and simple.

            By the way, the C never hesitates to express his demonic thoughts. Yet you call that courage. Spare us your pandering to the keyboard rambo please.

            .

          3. Yes, yes you want to be noticed by humans.
            What happens to GDP when you build a bomb?
            What happens to GDP when a bomb explodes?

        2. Russia simply has to be dismantled, it has to stop existing. It is Systemically Evil, such that the country is rigged right down to the geography so that the results of its vices perpetuate the causes of its vices and suppress virtues and anything that might promote virtue.

          Dismantling doesn’t mean killing everyone but it means tearing it apart….and it might mean leveling Moscow.

          Edit: Afghanistan and Pakistan merit similar and perhaps more extreme treatment.

    2. In the one link, the one dude looks much fitter after captivity. Just sayin!

    3. So no comments on POWs returning to Ukraine looking like holocaust survivors?

    1. “Criminals” can range from serious real crimes to serious non-crime like being drug merchants to petty nonsense. Increasingly glad this guy will probably lose to Carney.

      1. UnMe again (surprising exactly none) finds an angle that justifies his traditional cheering for Libranos. And of course it turns out to be about dope and importing turd worlders like him.

          1. You’re not even trying to make sense anymore. Looks like your quota of coherent thoughts has been exhausted when you posted about russia.

    1. The moment they materialized they have immediately become suspect. I was wondering where they came from. Thanks for linking this. This is very valuable. So it turns out that both Chicoms and Trump back the same candidate. May you live in interesting times.

      1. Trump claims he doesn’t care about the Canadian election, but also says that he would prefer dealing with Carney.
        There are two ways to look at this.
        1 – He thinks Carney is a weaker opponent to negotiate with, and having Carney as PM may facilitate his ambition to absorb Canada, or at least, parts of Canada. Danielle Smith raised the stakes by issuing a list of demands for greater respect of Alberta from the next PM, or else there will be “a constitutional crisis.” Maybe Smith and Trump talked about strategy during her visit to Mar-a-Lago. Who knows.
        2 – Trump is keenly aware of Canadian politics, and is aware that his endorsement would be a poison pill to the candidate he endorses. That would suggest that he actually wants PP to become PM, maybe because he realizes that he would have a better chance of a unified trade deal with Canada under PP, than his grandiose vision of absorbing Canada under the leadership of Carnage.

        Normally, I would implement Occam’s Razor to try to anticipate what will happen, but given these two outlooks, I’m not sure which scenario is the simplest to explain.

        1. How about this: Trump does not know when to shut up, puts both feet in his mouth, is oblivious to consequences, and then tries to make up excuses and justifications for his f@#$ ups, while the Chess 5D crowd eats up all his words and looks for logic in the knee jerk chaos he created? We are literarily at the stage when no matter what he says, MAGA crowd remains convinced that he means what they want to hear.

          1. Trump is not playing 5D chess, that’s for sure. He’s in a demolition derby. Unfortunately most of his opponents have Chevy Chevettes while Trump is cruising around in a Sherman tank – and winning biggly.

            When confronted with renovating an old house, tearing down the structure is sometimes the only rational solution. You save what you can, but you start over. Trump is faced with decades of corruption within the government, much of it partisan, and much of the infrastructure which has been used to try and keep him out of office. Now that he’s back in he’s taking a wrecking ball to things – and people are loving it.

            The Democrats are in such disarray they don’t know whether to lineup behind AOC, Chuck Shumer, or Chubby the Clown. Let the Chaos continue.

          2. Jessica and stevee, don’t seam to understand the SIMPLE fact that Trump is looking after America and American people. So the fall out be damned. Canada should have had her house in order long ago, but she doesn’t , and that is not Trump’s doing or responsibility. It’s A$$holes like jessica the COLON that are Canada’s problem, not Trump.

          3. gym… I think “Stevie” does get it. I’m not sure if you’ve read his entire post.
            Trump is a wrecking ball, and the people love it. I love it too!
            As for “C”, well, he’s entitled to his opinion, and it is a legitimate position to take. Trump has indeed thrown a monkey wrench into the Canadian economy. There’s no doubt about that.
            But I for one welcome the chaos. It’s the only way we’re going to clean up this mess. We’ve got to break a few eggs here.

          4. The only egg being broken here is America. When this is all over, America won’t be a superpower anymore and the far-left will be greatly empowered. President Warren is in play. AOC is on the advance.

            “Trump is cruising around in a Sherman tank – and winning biggly.”

            He’s not winning anything except the destruction of America. Trump’s retarded supporters can’t distinguish between their own entertainment and ‘winning’.

          5. @ Stiffy from Cuckwood:
            Like I said above we are literarily at the stage when no matter what Trump does, you and others like you will remain convinced that he does what you think he ought to be doing.

        2. Or Trump knows that the Carney Liberals / NDP would continue to distroy Canada so much, that Canadians would be begging to become part of America.

          2. “When this is all over, America won’t be a superpower anymore and the far-left will be greatly empowered.” As UAE announces $1.4 trillion and NVIDIA hundreds of billions investments in the US.

            “AOC is on the advance.” Now this has to be your doziest statement ever. Someone give this man a prize!

    2. Yep… That’s why I said in an earlier thread that the liebs may be making the same mistake the cons did, by relying too much on favorable polls.

    2. I’m not so sure how simply relating an anecdote is either pathetic or naive.
      I suppose it will depend on the context of the topic being discussed.
      My guess is that they’re talking about establishing a relationship with Russia in order to negotiate an end to this insane war.
      If that is the case, more power to them for at least trying.

        1. Unfortunately, the West has a lot of UIs* who believe that it’s possible to cure a rabid dog by admitting it into a pack of healthy dogs. In the US, a few of those UIs are now in a position of power.

        4. Some of my best friends are rabid retarded rattlesnakes. I find that the retardation tends to temper the rabies, and the result is sparkling conversation and high-quality venom.

      2. fc, Haven’t you discerned by now that the C always looks for, or implies, something negative in almost everything he posts.

        And yes, he conveniently leaves out the context, but that’s because he’s not interested in giving a complete picture of the matter. He only cares about pushing his narrative.

        1. I am not naive. I know where “C” stands on issues relating to Russia. But unlike certain posters here, I still defend his right to voice his opinions. I am a little concerned, however, that some of what he says borders on genocide, but I don’t think he has crossed that line yet. He was emboldened by Russia’s conflict with Ukraine, but so were we all. We all rushed to defend Ukraine at first, and at the time, “C,” stance wasn’t quite out of the ordinary.
          Then little by little, we began to learn the backstory, and suddenly, we realized that the truth is somewhere in between the positions of the two warring factions.
          The ONLY way we will get to the truth is to allow “C” to speak, along with anyone else who feels the need to contribute to the discussion. The only solution to free speech nobody likes is even more free speech.

          1. “I am a little concerned, however, that some of what he says borders on genocide, ”
            Genocide is what russians are committing in Ukraine, right now. I am the one who says: “never again”.

            “He was emboldened by Russia’s conflict with Ukraine,”
            Nope, ork invasion of Ukraine merely confirmed what I already knew about russia.

          2. fc, what makes you think what the C says has anything to do with the truth. Nobody’s buying what he’s selling, except his Surfer clone.

          3. Loopie,
            What happens to GDP when you build a bomb?
            What happens to GDP when a bomb explodes?

        2. Looopie:
          Did you have a chance to find out answers to my questions?
          Here they are again in case you forgot:
          What happens to GDP when you build a bomb?
          What happens to GDP when a bomb explodes?

          2. No, subhuman, you were asked a pair of question, you weren’t asked for imbecilic drivel,
            What happens to GDP when you build a bomb?
            What happens to GDP when a bomb explodes?

          4. No obsession subhuman, just want you to answer a couple of questions since you started that conversation, it is only fair.
            What happens to GDP when you build a bomb?
            What happens to GDP when a bomb explodes?

          5. What happens to GDP when you shove your head up your butt?
            What happens to GDP when your butt explodes?

      3. Taking obvious flattery as genuine sympathy is pathetic and naive. Duh.

        Also, I never saw anybody talking about “establishing a relationship” with Irain, North Korea, Venezuela (all close allies and best friends of the Ruϟϟischeschweinen Pediration) here, but lots of posts about “relationship with Russia”. I never saw anything about “relationship with China” either, even though China, even though China is several orders of magnitude more important that Russia on the world scale.

        Maybe some people should just come out and admit their weird attraction for human-fancying pigs rather that trying to rationalise it?

        1. I will only admit that I want this crazy war to end.
          …Do you take the opposing view that it must continue?

          And Trump DID establish a rapport with North Korea, or did you miss that episode of the two leaders shaking hands across the demilitarized zone? Did you miss the part of Trump actually stepping into North Korean territory?

          1. Are you making a strawman (“Trump DID establish a rapport with North Korea”) or just lack cognitive abilities? When I wrote “I never saw anybody talking about “establishing a relationship” with Irain, North Korea, Venezuela”, it was meant to be taken as “I never saw any poster here advocating “establishing a relationship” with Iran, North Korea, Venezuela”, if it’s not clear to you. As far as I know, Trump does not post here.

            To answer your question, I think that the Ukrainians should be given the choice in how and to what extent resist the Russian invasion (and aided in resisting it). Pushing them in any direction is wrong. Certainly, the notion that how the war ends is less important than when is wrong.

  14. Carney isn’t going to win the election
    Why?
    Because liberals vote based on emotions.
    Specifically, they want someone that is fun.
    Or
    They want someone that is cool and hip and drives around in a hot car picking up chicks, or the metaphorical equivalent.

    Carney isn’t one of those, he was one of the Trudeau entourage that was riding Justin’s coattails, and not one of the good looking ones.

      1. Liberals want a leader that could score the girls.

        Carney couldn’t score a goal on an empty net

    1. Kick ass drums. Is it fair to say your music is eclectic or have you been arrested several times?

  24. The US Secretary of Commerce has taken aim at Ireland’s ‘tax scam’, which he claims is costing America trillions of dollars, saying it has ‘got to end’.

    https://www.msn.com/en-ie/money/other/trump-s-key-ally-in-fresh-attack-on-ireland-s-tax-scam/ar-AA1Bs5XB?cvid=414eb6b2ace341289b07e2e1aaeb90cd&ei=14

    Translation: Ireland is a great place to do business and Lutnick can’t cope with that because he’s an entitled POS who wasn’t told ‘no’ often enough in life, and doesn’t understand concepts like ‘value’. Looks and talks right out of HBO central casting.

    1. Uh … I guess both YOU and MSN missed the Irish Taoiseach with Trump in the Oval Office. He acknowledged that Ireland is a tax haven and is playing on a slanted playing field (in their favor). It’s not FAIR trade. He dedicated himself to working with Trump in rebalancing the playing field. I watched him LIVE saying as much.

      2. Kenji it is ok to have low taxes, you know? And yes, it does attract investment, people who weren’t retarded commies used to stand for that.
