    Yeah, and Trump wasn't just a businessman, he was a reality TV star.

    Cuban would be an upgrade over Trump, obviously. You or I would as well.

    That's way too low of a bar, as it only eliminates serial killers and the like. And maybe not even all of them.

    Yeah, I suppose that in a pinch, an eye shade could be substituted for a mask. :bgrin:

    Trump is breaking state law on not wearing a mask so that tells me I can break the law also!

    Sorry for the late reply. The power supply on my computer took a dump. That was a pain in the ass.

    I love building a new computer but HATE fixing them when there is a problem. The only thing I'm thankful for is that it wasn't the motherboard.

    Also what the fuck happened to Fry's? Went there for a new power supply and that place is empty. No power supplies, no CPUs, ram, only 2 motherboards, Fry's looks like they're going out of business.

    ....

    Now, the real question I have...

    HOW THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO WRITE SO MUCH AT 5 IN THE FUCKING MORNING?!?

    Jesus H. Christ.

    I haven't read any of the replies to this yet. I hope to god this is all worked out.

    I could give a crap about Trump, he's no bench mark for a business person who'd be Pres. material.

    All handled.

    Sorry for your PC issues. I hate PC's.

    Fry's is going under. They have been like that for almost a year now. Sucks too because I was really excited to move close to them here in Canby. I mean.. Best Buy as an only in store option? GAG me.....


    And ummm well, I start working at 4AM this morning because I have carpet getting installed at 8, so I knew I had some down time I had to cover. I knocked out my work quick. Then got frizzy on S2. Then, just as Im about to start working again, our quoting program takes a dump and gets me behind and I end up having to bust ass the rest of the day.

    But hey. Carpet is in stalled and looking awesome.

    Now time to go move a bunch of furniture.


    Oh and just to keep this on topic, the installer didn't wear a mask or nothing. ;)

    This would have been the year for a solid independent to run. Howard could beat bith candidates.

    That lacks the expression of intense frustration with pinheads who are risking the lives of others. You've gotta admit, it really pisses you off.
    Think of it as poetic license.

    He does illustrate the problems with electing a businessperson.

    Of course you have to look past the problems with electing Trump specifically to see those, but they are there if you look.

    Not a chance in hell. You might like him better but he would come in a far distant third.

    It's possible that the voters are looking this year for someone with no charisma whatsoever. Can't rule that out.

    Probably so, however you’d think for the second general a row there would be more vitality than the two. Joe & Trump are nit IMO, representative of the best thus country can offer.

    That's the way most voters are and I don't expect it to change anytime soon or at least not for a century or two.

    Laurie Garrett is the lady that predicted the Coronavirus when others where saying it was nothing to worry about. She talks a lot about vaccines in this video.
