Because, well, Trump.
See yas.
-
Trump is a symptom of what is fucked up about the world now. He isn't the reason the world is fucked up. He's just a silly orange man.
-
Is he competing for something?

Jack is being more pedantic than usual lately :P Not that there is anything wrong with that.
The mid-term elections are largely being seen as a referendum on Trump's performance so far. If the Republicans put in a good show it will be seen as a "win" for Trump.
-
Apparently CNN has called it as the Democrats have won the house. Whatever that means.
Orange man bad.

It's common enough to be expected, the people tend to elect a divided government.
-

It means gridlock for the most part.
The house will try to push a radical leftist agenda, the senate will oppose it and Trump will veto it. :M
Also, New York State just elected the first human eggplant to the house, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Quite possibly the dumbest politician in US history. ::) :facepalm2:
-
She is a joke.
Most likely fake, but just watch her live "performances." You will see just how close to the mark this really is.
-

Orange man bad.
United States House Of Representatives now has a Democratic majority by twenty three seats.
What this means is that every scrap of paper, every decision, every speech, etc. etc. etc. from The White House will be reviewed, investigated, berated, confronted, objections made, protests organized, mob rule attempted, demands made for retraction and general blocking of any agenda the "right" may attempt to push though.
Remember, Pelosi said that if the Democratic party wins the house she will pursue impeachment of President Trump AND Justice Kavanaugh, end Immigration and Customs Enforcement, open the borders, expand sanctuary cities, push through state paid abortion to all and on and on and on.
Anything and everything they can muster to keep America from becoming great again.
-
Yep. ;)
-

The Cheeto in Chief won't have to veto anything, unless the Senate can get 60 votes in favor of it.
Any 'radical leftist agenda' with the support of Mitch McConnell and a dozen or so other Republicans
is probably something like military funding. :P
-
"Radical leftist agenda". :rofl:
-
It means gridlock for the most part.
It also means compromises that are beneficial to both sides.

Not these days. You're imagining back when the parties were essentially the same.
Now, they have different realities, different goals for the nation. It's likely to end
in just more of a mess.

I feel that this possibility may be closer to reality.
The "leadership and deal making" skills of our president are about to tested like never before.
Many of the BIG things I would like to see fixed, like Obamacare, infrastructure enhancements, for instance, may have to wait.
A very large problem, however, is about to eclipse some of the more important problems due to its urgency. This caravan and the two following it are going to be a nightmare with which to contend. No matter how we try to handle this onslaught of aliens approaching our borders, it will be the wrong thing to do.
Setting up refugee camps for thousands upon tens of thousands, supplying them with shelter, food, water, medicine and protection, all free of charge, while we try to process them and allow them into our country under our system of laws will be wrong, somehow.

Average prices at the pump have been trending upward over the past two years. 2018 began the year with a national average price of 2.19 which hasn't been seen since 2014. Today's average is 2.686. The very end of 2014 is when gas prices dramatically fell, and continued with a downward trend through the end of 2016. In 2017 they began a rising trend. However have the impression most Americans are satisfied if it stays anywhere under three dollars. AAA sourced graphs are below.

I can remember when I got out of the Marines, that I was a bit ticked off that 91 octane premium gas, that my turbocharged Talon needed, was over $1.50 a gallon. :facepalm2:
-
Tend to not even notice gas prices, because have to get gas no matter the price. Though back when it was hitting near four dollars, definitely noticed.
-
I don't worry too much about the price of fuel because my little 3 cylinder car uses bugger all.
If it gets too much more expensive I'll get an electric car like McDangly has.
-

Yeah, I suppose some do the same, but I can remember paying close to four dollars per gallon in the summer.
Now, understand, this does not really afffect me. I drive about three thousand miles per year these days, My wife drives much more - over twenty thousand miles per year. Certainly, she will trash out her fancy new car with low miles in short time.
We have to get gas, no matter the price, just nice to pay seventeen bucks instead of twenty eight buck to just top it off.
-

... and you are OK with trying to continue to drive some little bugger all car? I have driven a few of those things. Can not think of the horror of driving around in a "car" that has a motorcycle engine. I see some of those things running around town and there are no further words.
Sorry, pal. I drive a modest seven seater with every amenity that I can imagine at my fingertips. Oh and it doesn't bounce us around insanely when we travel.
It rides smoothly and it can go uphill if I need.

Yup.
When I started driving there were still gas wars and I often paid around twenty cents per gallon. That was in seventy one, but imagine a few years later, not being able to find fuel for your fire breathing muscle car at all at any price, unless you go out to the airport and pay three times that eighty cent price for unleaded gas that no one wanted anyway. What do you do?
Retard the timing? Take the engine apart? Replace those expensive pistons?
Park it?
Nah. I went out to the airport as many of us did until things settled down and they had "unleaded" premium fuel available again. So paying three or five times the expected price was just the way it turned out in those days.
I miss my muscle cars even if they were not that great in some eyes.

Somewhere there is a memey thingy with college pics of Sinema (Democrat, won in Arizona) protesting this country and a burning flag in the background, then some bra only "hot pics" of her satirizing herself (I know I am reaching out there and will pay) and yet she is not questioned, but elected.
Unfortunately, the retired Air Force Colonel who served this country for twenty two years in the military was defeated.
No one won this day.

My wife has the 7-seater, US built SUV. I drive it on family road trips. It's okay, but not a lot of fun. It has a lot more power than the dynamics of the car can handle.
My 3-cylinder car is immense fun. The only time I have any sort of misgivings about the car is when I look at the flimsy side doors and think just how dead I'm gonna be if some twat runs a red light and T-bones me.
Up a decent hill I do need to kick it back from 5th to 4th to 3rd, but it gets along more than okay. A lot of people who have cars with small engines either have automatic transmissions, or they don't know how the difference between driving a V8 and something with a lawnmower engine. Plenty of room inside for a couple of adults - even an oversized adult like myself, and a lanky teenager and a daughter who is above the 98th percentile on the height-for-age charts. It's a genuine family car. And plenty of boot (trunk) space as well.
It is a base model but has air con, a decent radio with buttons on the steering wheel, fog lights, remote electric adjustment on the side mirrors. That's all I need.
-
I was not talking about power or getting out of hand with itself, but comfort. Mine is actually quite nimble compared to many SUVs on the market and adequately powered so as to be quite drive-able.
And as I mentioned, mine is modest. Two and a half tons, ten inch wide, tall tires, less than three hundred HP, six speed trans, plenty of room, cushy, quiet, lots of tech ... Comfortable.
I can not even imagine a situation where "It has a lot more power than the dynamics of the car can handle" would ever become a factor.
It is just a great all 'round, modest SUV. Nothing fancy (other than all the tech stuff anyone could want), just comfortable.

Sorry, but your graphs did not show up when I first saw your post.
I paid $2.22 at the pump this afternoon. Not really reflected in your graphs. It has been a while since prices were so agreeable.

Still in the $2,75 range around here. :zombiefuck: The lowest I remember paying is .77 when I first got a car in the 80s

It all gets tested here at least even before they let it off the boat. The supply house I used to go to a shared a building with a company that did the testing and they went to the docks(only about a half mile away) and got samples right off the ships

Husband says my car uses the middle priced octane gas, and he's also picky about using shell stations. Don't personally know anything about it, but it's not an inconvenience to just take his advice. :laugh:

I typically buy gas at the same BP stop over week after week.
I used to buy Amoco up here in the north, but BP gobbled them up, then Arco later. Way back when I was a Texan it was Texaco all the way! That is now Shell, Chevron and such.
They have all had horrible spills all over the globe. Kind of hard to figure out which one to boycott if oil spills means anything to you.
I have recently (past few years) seen Amoco and Shell labelled trucks (no longer exist, right?) filling all over the place, even at Speedway, Marathon and 7-11 where it is generally the same price as everywhere else.
Not sure I believe that there is a difference anymore. Unless you have special dinosaurs, decaying sea life and plant matter that your favorite gasoline came from, of course. To me, it is the shortcuts they take in distilling like allowing impurities to remain in the mix and the additives they have to offer, after the processing.
I think that you should go to a gas station that does a tremendous amount of business and that way you will usually have the "freshest" gasoline available, keep your tank topped up.
Not much else we can do.
Add an occasional system cleaner to your tank to ensure that water does not build up in the bottom of your tank (a big problem here in the cold-ish, then next day, warmish Indiana area), but be careful, most of those are ethanol based. Make sure your car can tolerate ethanol.
Outside of all that? Not much, except buy the freshest gasoline you can find from the busiest stops you can find.

By that time gasoline prices had almost tripled from when I started driving.
Then you could not find "high test" fuel, which several of my old hot rods needed.

Interesting. I'd love to pay what you pay.

Yeah. The land that my mother owns now, which will be mine some day has buttloads of oil beneath it and the family owns the mineral rights.
There is an abandoned oil well on my uncle's land, less than a quarter mile away from my mom's property, but it is too expensive to pump "our" oil out of the ground with imports so cheap.
Used to run that well in the seventies, but it became too costly. There is a refinery about four miles away that uses crude trucked from a port in Houston to keep things going. That's about three hundred sixty miles or five hundred eighty kilometers, one way.
Almost no one in Texas is pumping oil out of their own ground these days. Too costly.

That's a great website. According to the charts, while it's more expensive, it's still more affordable because people in the UK use less gas. Canadian consumption looks much closer to the US, though their prices are still about a dollar higher.

If it gets too much more expensive I'll get an electric car like McDangly has.
My Suzuki 650 V-Strom gets 60+ MPG. :M
Unfortunately, there's only a 7-8 month riding season here. High deserts like this one have 4 distinct seasons and we can get our fair share of snow.
That wasn't a problem in Cali (Mediterranean climate) or in the low deserts. You can ride year round in the southeast too.

:agreed:
This is the main difference in the quality of gas.
In my bikes I only use 91 octane ethanol free "clean" gas. You pay a bit more for it but most bikes sip gas anyways. :M

Truck is like the alcoholic that likes MD 20/20.
Cheap to buy....but the quantities kill you.
VW drinks in moderation but nothing but top shelf (Turbo).
I probably run about even some days with both of them.

Does it have heated seats? :M

That's one option that makes the price of feeding the VW well worth it.
Haven't had that since my parents had Saab's...totally forgot how nice that is in the cold weather.

Nope. It was ordered by a guy in Italy. Heated seats are considered to be a "winter option" by Jaguar over there.

Never liked heated seats; feels like I peed myself. :laugh: The oldest's car has heated seats, but also the option to only heat the back. That was good.

It is considered standard equipment on upper grade vehicles here in Indiana. My wife's new car has the capability of seat, back or both heating and adjustable lumbar support. Also has heated mirrors and a heated steering wheel.
Hell my older SUV (it is a 2012) has heated mirrors, seats and electric accessory heat for frozen over windshield to get you going a bit more quickly on those rough winter mornings.
Mileage is not great on mine, though. Hovers around twenty in town.

That's exactly what my mum said when my parents had their Jeep Compass. They ended up trading it in for a Holden Captiva because it guzzled petrol.
-
If I were able to drive, which I'm not, I'd go for a top-of-the-range Nissan Micra. Something made in the UK, but that doesn't guzzle petrol like no tmorrow. Fuel economy is where it's at.
-
Did not know what that thing was, so I looked it up.
Not really my type of thing and I would not allow my children to ride in one if one of their "friends" showed up to give them a ride.
I took a Fiat about like that, stripped it down and made a dune buggy out of it. Twelve hundred CCs was not much of an engine, even for a dune buggy. Made a fun toy.
I have "friends" with motorcycles which have larger engines :zombiefuck:
I suppose if you are just going a mile or a couple of blocks that kind of car would be ok, but still not safe around here.

:laugh: The old Saab's were a little like that (late 70's -80's) heating element was towards the front of the seat.
Most of the heat in the VW seems come from the lower back region...and I've got a dial for each front seat with 4 temp settings. Seriously hate to leave the car some days.

Warming the back might be more productive. Remember years ago seeing a kidney warmer belt in a hunting accessory magazine. It claimed keeping the kidneys warm prevented getting the shivers. Not sure if that's true, but core warming makes more sense than butt warming.

Yeah, not the reason our friend wanted hers for either. :laugh:
She had most of the chrome and the wheels blacked out...windows are limo tinted. Looks like the grim reaper coming down the highway when she drives her kid to soccer practice.
She's a strange one, gotta love her. :laugh:

Sorry for not being specific, but I was using our standard, Miles per Gallon, as a measure.
Your Jaguar probably blows that away using "our metric."
Do not really care that much about British automobiles, but another Jaguar is on my bucket list, even though I was disappointed in the first one.
Been in a few more modern ones and I want one.

I always dreamed of having a jag when I was younger.
My car gets 50+ miles per gallon around the city. Imperial gallons though. Still impressive.

Everyone SHOULD want Trump to win because if he WINS then the world wins. That is not exactly the same as him getting what he wants. He could still get what he wants and lose.

Cal, I like you (believe it or not) BUT you are fucking retarded if you believe that Trump winning is you losing.
I get it, I really do. After butter would not melt in his mouth Barry Soletoro, this Trump guy coming in is a poke in the eye to how the world views America. He has no class depite his money. He is an ignorant pig.
Fuck right off with that shit
Yeah Trump is not cultured like Soletoro . But fuck, who cares? I don't and I am NOT in your country. The Muslim leadership of Egypt preferred Trump to Hillary. North Korea whilst not full compliant is slowly buckling under pressure not to send missiles to threaten Hawaii and Japan and South Korea. ISIS is practically destroyed. Israel is 100% behind Trump (especially after the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the moving of the embassy). He is increasing the productivity of America and Unemployment is all communities and tax benefits in all communities and job creations in all communities has increased.
So Fuck the sweet words and charms and grace and poise of a "do-nothing".
As Herr Merkel and Barry Soletoro marched hand in hand off the cultural cliff and Sweden, France and Germany joined them, there was a counter in the winds called Trump. A non-Progressive.
He is not perfect. He is often cringeworthy and zigs when he ought to zag BUT with the world as it is right here and now HE is necessary and I would back him strongly over anyone in the world right now to bring us back from the brink of falling off the cultural cliff that Barry was leading you to and in which Macron, Merkel and Lofven are probaly either already over or hanging on by just their fingertips.

My Jag's got great mileage. :M
Does it have heated seats? :M
Probably, I think the older one my friend has does. :laugh:
That's one option that makes the price of feeding the VW well worth it.
Haven't had that since my parents had Saab's...totally forgot how nice that is in the cold weather.
Nope. It was ordered by a guy in Italy. Heated seats are considered to be a "winter option" by Jaguar over there.
It is considered standard equipment on upper grade vehicles here in Indiana. My wife's new car has the capability of seat, back or both heating and adjustable lumbar support. Also has heated mirrors and a heated steering wheel.
Hell my older SUV (it is a 2012) has heated mirrors, seats and electric accessory heat for frozen over windshield to get you going a bit more quickly on those rough winter mornings.
Mileage is not great on mine, though. Hovers around twenty in town.
The Jag is less than that in town. Not why I got it, tho.
Sorry for not being specific, but I was using our standard, Miles per Gallon, as a measure.
Your Jaguar probably blows that away using "our metric."
Do not really care that much about British automobiles, but another Jaguar is on my bucket list, even though I was disappointed in the first one.
Been in a few more modern ones and I want one.
I know you were using MPG. I know what it is, and my Jag does around 15.
I drove a recent Jaguar XF not so long ago. It was nice but didn't have that special Jag quality, probably because it had a diesel engine.

This, folks, is the new face of absolute cluelessness.

Projecting your own cluelessness is neither clever nor credible.

Getting rid of how he is worsening the domestic situation economically (as all Republicans seem to do), he is
destroying the very institutions internationally upon which American world power is based.
Please explain why this is desirable.

Thought I'd drop this here. :M

I never want the incumbent to win because I can't stand so many years of complaints about the same person. I want someone new to bitch about. :zoinks:
-
You guys have a democracy, right? So you end up with the president you deserve?
-
Doesn't look like one these days. Let's hope it's fixable.
-
That's the catch with democracy, leaders who want the job.
-
Wasn't referring to that, even though it's a good point.

Might be that way, but we are all still paying for some of Trump.
Unfortunately, now that he is President (EX- but they don't say it that way) he is more powerful than he ever was.
Not sure how so many here thought I was pounding his marching drums just because I admitted that some of his policies made sense for America, but if we look more closely at much of his web weaving, he is just as "actionably criminal" as Biden, Obama or Bush.
