Re: I-375 deconstruction is crony capitalism in action

As I recall, the original-original plan (late 1950s) was to have the 375 expressway connect to the US10 expressway (the Lodge) on Jefferson, as an expressway. That's a pretty stupid plan. It would have destroyed downtown. Actually... he might be right. What he's describing is the way the business s...

Re: Must Haves

What’s the rush to have a new car? 4 isn’t very old. Cars today have way more life in them than that. It's out of warranty now. And maybe I just like driving a new car. For years I drove old wrecks. After I was first able to buy my first new car, I like to stay in a new car. Maybe, after years of d...

Re: Must Haves

I don't think there's a new vehicle sold by any manufacturer these days in the US or Canada that doesn't have a/c and cruise control standard on the basest of base models. And if have to spend extra money on a package of stuff you don't want for satellite radio, just spend $100 or so and get one of...

Re: The Bias of Alito

Does Alito need to recuse himself from Trump hearings in front the Supreme Court? No. Is a Supreme Court Justice responsible for everything their spouse does? Who’s name is the house in? If it’s in his name he’s responsible for whatever is displayed there and approves of such by default. When you g...

Re: Must Haves

When I lived up north, I never had AC in my cars and never felt the need for it. But living now in south west Ontario, where the summers are hotter and spending about 6 months a year in Florida, I wouldn't want to be without it. But south west Ontario is a radio desert. So I need satellite radio. C...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

Trump said yesterday that ALL Haley voters will automatically vote for him. I, for one, won't and I know others who won't either. I think we end up with a tie leading to a recount and then who knows but a tie is my guess and that's all anyone can say right now. It is a guess. Is he planning on givi...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

Matt - sounds to me like your tune has changed a bit. Just a few months ago you said that Trump had literally no chance of winning. I'm curious what has changed your opinion? RT - Here's the problem with your argument - the polling in 2020 ended up being correct. The polling average never put Trump...

Re: Must Haves

I have a base model GMC Acadia… it has cruise, satellite radio and AC. Everything else is basic. I believe the Acadia is also a big vehicle. Would I need a bus driver license to operate it? I suppose the base model Cadilac would also have all the features I want, but I just want an affordable, work...

Re: Scottie Scheffler arrested for reckless driving and assaulting an officer

Sounds like a simple misunderstanding to me and then a cop blew it out of proportion. If it's a fatal accident and the road looks closed and then the cops start waving at you frantically... GAME OVER. It sounds to me like he was getting there and getting there NOW and went apeshit trying to get aro...

Re: Biden pulls a Trump

You're raising a bunch of red herrings. All the WSJ is saying is that if there is a legitimate reason for Biden to withhold the recordings, executive privilege isn't one of them. Obviously it’s an excerpt but I was reading this as they demand he release them because we all deserve to know. If that’...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

It's a hung jury for sure. Trump will claim vindication, all the sycophants in the cult (former Republican party) will rejoice. His poll numbers increase. Unless this mother fucker dies of a heart attack...please, God....he'll be elected again. There is something fundamentally wrong with the polls ...
