The kid down the street from me had that same bike. I had the regular one, which I loved, but totaled when the chain popped off at the top of a big hill on the way down. I figured I’d ride it out but wrecked at the bottom and it got run over by the car behind me.
My next one was a Mongoose though. I swear you could do a wheelie forever on those things.
That is nothing compared to a couple of rips I had in mind but am I’m not going to say because although not racist are just plain terrible.
Thank you. We disagree rather vehemently but appreciate it, as I do your new attempts at civility as a whole. It makes threads easier to read and respond to.
No, because I don’t see him having attacked her at all. Matters of public record regarding one’s past are facts, even if law firms do not want posters chatting about them. That is different than disparaging someone.
There has to be allowance for legitimate statemens without attacking the person.
Case in point–Michelle Obama started a few initiatives I didn’t think were thought out well. Saying “I’m not a fan of this, this is problematic” is not disparaging and certainly not in the same realm as what other people have said about her, for no reason except she was a different political party and the wife of a POTUS they didn’t like.
This has to be a pickle for Raj. Melania was technically an illegal immigrant but Michele is black which is his least favorite color in the crayola box.
I don’t like Hillary either so I’m sexist too.
Might as well throw xenophobic in there for good measure. A partial chant isn’t nearly as satisfying as the whole enchilada.
In reality I don’t particularly care if people make fun of Melania, it’s just that she says nothing and really fades into the background so why make fun of her? If she were Some outspoken political person I would totally get it.
Also I know they’re fake but she has a world class rack
This is really going to be a tough ride for her, raj…because this is not a position that allows complete anonymity. And even though I’m sure she speaks English much better than the average American speaks Slovene…she struggles (understandably) with the nuances of English.
EVERY First Lady develops a “cause” that is uniquely hers…from “Just Say NO!” to “Let’s MOVE!”
I hope she finds hers…and personally, I only wish her the best.
So, catching up on the thread on a day we remember those who lost their lives protecting our freedoms - much of the free speech has been devoted to gratuitous and classless degradation of a former First Lady’s backside. Thank goodness good men perished at Lexington, Gettysburg, and Omaha Beach so we can enjoy such patriotic discourse.
I guess it is true that some people never grow up, and it’s certainly true you have to take the good with the morons in the realm of free speech.
Happy Memorial Day.
GREAT day for me TB!
Put some Flags on graves; visited some Vets…and have plans to watch “Saving Private Ryan”…
Certainly not anywhere near the sacrifice that has been made by so many…but I try my best to remember what it’s all about…
Thanks to @thunderbolt23 and @Mufasa for reminding us what this day is really about. (Full disclosure: Mine is a Gold Star family; my father was KIA in Vietnam.)
The alcoholic says “Hey, I’m not an alcoholic, I’ve never had a DUI.”
The drug addict says “I could stop whenever I choose, and I don’t get high that often’”
The racist says “I’m not a racist, I’ve never been sued by a black person.”
I agree with you and I think the reason ivanka is in the white house is because melania isn’t really comfortable with the limelight
Omaha? Nah I’ll be thinking of Juno
Thanks @thunderbolt23 for that last post. You too @Mufasa and @EyeDentist.
The last of the burgers. On the left is handpacked filet mignon with onions and gouda baked in. On the right is the old standby bacon/chedder/sirloin burger.
And of course:
Whiskey in a mason jar with the start of the brats.
Gonna need your location - I’m self-inviting. 
The left wing loon says…“you’re a racist if you say anything at all negative about an African American.”
LOL
Hah! Hell you have a standing invite. Be glad to share some Basil Hayden’s and some conversation with you!
EDIT–and EyeDentist and Mufasa for that matter too. Bring USMC along as well.
It’s funny you think I’m a “left loon”, when you’ve given away much more of your racist views than I have of my political leanings. I don’t care for Trump, but I also am not a Hilary supporter by any stretch.
@Aragorn …THANKS!
That’s one heck of a tempting invite!
We’ll have to do it one day!
(I still owe @pushharder a visit to his Homestead…!)
