You Know How I Like to Boil Things Down to a Bottom Line...

What occurred to me today to describe our current political environment was this...

The current administration AND the media Demonize EVERYTHING that isn't liberal left.  Add in much of the entertainment industry and other cultural influences.

How is that different than Nazi Germany in the latter 1930's ?


Does that Describe the America that you know ? 

And as I've said before, at least Hitler loved Germany.

Yea, that sounds like America.

Ohio just voted to keep libertarians off the ballot. They cannot be on the ballot.

Can ya Feel It.

I'd include an image but it wouldn't be palatable. Not even to me.
 

Dysfunctional, Dictionary > "See Republican Party"

I vowed not to talk about politicians and I'm skirting the subject by a small margin by talking about an entire party so I think I'm safe on that..

I have to say something about these morons.

• To get to within 2 days of the credit default and publicly say that "you have lots of ideas and opinions but No Plan"  makes you look like incredible fricken Morons.  Right?
• You realize that the Senate is going to tell you to shove any moronic 'alternate plan' you come up with up your ass. Right?
• Worst of all, you want to shoot a .22 caliber bullet at the quadrillion ton beast freight train that is obamacare and think it makes as much difference to anyone as pissing into space?? Really?  You know the effect of that would be to hand, on a silver platter to the democrats, the ability for them to blame 100% of the evil and incredible life destroying aspects of obammycare on You the Moron Clowns of the house GOP for all eternity.  You know that right ?

"Stunning" as in Stunned by a Hydrogen Bomb going off next to my ear doesn't even come close.

My fellow Americans - 3rd Party. 

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease...

I LOVE This Picture

I found it Here

And this is the picture.  It is and will be (I predict) as Iconic as 4 men raising the flag (for the 2nd time) on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima.  Most especially if We make it so.

Frankly, I'm glad many WWII Veterans don't have to view today's events with the anti-American POS in the current section 8 white house.  Most especially my Dad.  He was pretty tired of the BS back in the 1980's.  I can't even imagine what he'd think today.

My Dad..... walked Italy, France and Germany as an Infantry Sergeant, came back whole, raised a family of 4, had a lot of fun doing it.  I miss ya Dad, but I'm glad* you're missing out on this crap.

I wonder if any of the WWII veterans being turned away at the WWII memorial are wondering why they bothered.  I would think some have to be.

I Know How He Feels

1970 - Not Much Has Changed ?

Tesla Update

If anyone was interested in Tesla when I mentioned it a while back, here's an update.

Extend the up sloping from left to right white line as time goes on.  (If you need access to a chart, stockcharts.com might be a source)

When Tesla drops below the white line, sell or take your chances.  There was that dip in mid July that recovered the next day but those are somewhat rare.  The dip you see today was caused by a report of a Tesla S which was involved in a pretty good accident and the battery compartment (front) caught fire, but the stock price recovered when Tesla stated that the collision caused a fire after the person was out of the vehicle and because of their design of the battery compartment, the fire never reached the passenger cabin and was put out by the fire department.  

The fact that the intra-day sell-off stopped exactly on that line shows how many people observe trend lines.
