I was in high school at the time, taking Current Events as a class. Our textbook was Newsweek, then a fairly respectable news source.

It was a good year to take it - the 1992 elections, the Branch Davidians, and probably a few other things. We all wrote down our predictions for how the Branch Davidian situation would end, and we were all wrong. (I do not recall my prediction.)

Stockdale was also Ross Perot's vice president running mate in 1992.

He lost points in the vice presidential debate that year when he flat out stated he wasn't ready to comment on a specific question (I don't remember the topic). Kind of a nice summary of the issues with our elections in one sentence, isn't it?

I love how much Velo Orange is getting mentioned in these comments. I built a gravel bike out of a Velo Orange Pass Hunter frame a little over a year ago.

But I used a Di2 group because that's what I wanted. Blasphemy, I know.

Some towns had a gun check law. This one has a hat check law.

Pfft they are buying low and selling high. Trump tells them his next move. Insider trading to make millions.

Yep.

Take note, the regime does not care that they did something wrong. They. Do. Not. Care.

And their fans continue to cheer them on. This country is fucked.

Must be nice. I saw two on my commute home from work today, in fact.

A sarcasm detector? That's a real useful invention!

It's hilarious how many I see that are wrapped - the wrapped ones far outnumber unwrapped. Why did you pay so much for a stainless steel truck just to wrap it? If everyone is wrapping them, why bother with the heavy stainless steel?

I saw a meme the other day with one that was wrapped to look like an F-150. ... just....why? You can buy an electric F-150 if that's what you want.

Oh yeah. "You're safer being ejected from the car in a crash. My cousin's ex husband's sister's daughter survived a crash that way!"

I'm a little surprised Trump hasn't signed the "Asbestos Fibers Are Our Friends" Executive Order.
