Above the post Caballero Update!!!!!!!!!!!!!’

I went to pick it up. All systems were go. I paid. I went out the car. I got in. I started it. I pulled the seat belt from the post. I click…….No. I didn’t. They had put the seats in and carefully trapped all the seat belt parts except the two shoulder belts on the outside. It would have taken real skill to get them trapped under the seat. So…. next week!

Why do I feel like Tom Hanks and Shelley Long?

 

 

Now on to our post in its entirety!

In this instance, we have the wind and vibrations of vehicles going over matching the natural frequency which, with positive feedback, oscillates out of control.

 

In this instance, ‘journalists’ keep coming up with more and more ridiculous “scoops!” as we watch them oscillate out of control.

President Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office this month that firing the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, had relieved “great pressure” on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting.

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

Mr. Trump added, “I’m not under investigation.”

Now, while I agree and I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump at some time called him that, I seriously doubt he said it to the Russians. And if he did, how did the NY Times get this ‘scoop’?

I do love the “I’m not under investigation.” bit, I wish they had an image to go with it. I’ll provide one!

There, better.

 

Fakenewser catalogues fake news while pretending it’s not fake news!

Notice the headline about it being an Epic Week! I’m with them. This is possibly the most epically hilarious thing that even I would never have expected to see.

Do they really want to get into the epicness of their week when that was part of it?

Here we have the obligatory, It’s All Trump’s Fault That We’ve Been Going Crazy All Week! I guess his Gaslighting strategery is working!

President Trump’s struggles have been keeping newsrooms busy at all hours. The broadcast networks have been breaking into programming with special reports, almost exclusively about the Trump administration’s setbacks and self-inflicted wounds. CNN has whipped up “White House in crisis” graphics (and Trump gets 2 scoops graphics, don’t forget that! V)….

After The New York Times revealed the existence of fired FBI director James Comey’s memos…

Not so much “self-inflicted” as lie-inflicted. Like the memos the NY Times didn’t so much reveal as claim some anonymous person claimed existed.

I love this bit

CNN’s Jake Tapper asked on the air last Sunday, “Is there anyone in the West Wing who can be trusted to tell the truth?”

Is there anyone at CNN I can trust?  Jake Tapper was pretty good about being one of the few who noticed some of Obama’s pefidy and felonyizing  so…

I could actually agree with that quote. It it was about all the lies that have been supposedly leaked by supposed Trump staffers.

Hyperbolic lefty hyperboles!

On television that day, Carl Bernstein said, “I think this is a potentially more dangerous situation than Watergate.”

See graphic above.

CNN notices what I noticed

The banner headline on the conservative Washington Free Beacon web site went even further on Friday: “Nation on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.”

Concerned Conservatives make Minitrue happy. Oh, and those they claim are Republicans.

David Ignatius channeled the concerns of prominent Republicans, one of whom he said had told him Trump is “Richard Nixon on steroids.”

First, see graphic above. Again.

Second, is David Ignatius claiming to be a ‘prominent Republican’? I’ve seen him quoted and I didn’t realize why, now I do.

 

So what have we learned today? Veeshir is bored and felt like posting again.

Oh, and CNN has absolutely no fucking shame.

But then, we already knew that.

I am very happy I was approved at the trailer park, I really didn’t want to have to spend more time looking at trailer parks. It’s in a good location and it’s the nicest I saw after looking at 3 in person and a whole bunch online. The three I visited all had spongey spots in the floor.

The only drawback is a short parking spot alongside the trailer. It doesn’t go the whole length so it’s going to be tight getting both cars to fit. The inner car might have to hang off the paved part onto a graveled part.

I’ve had worse problems.

Speaking of which, I dropped my Caballero off on Monday for my appt. on Tuesday so they’d be able to get started right away in the morning.

They had to fix the fuel line that vapor locks when it idles in hot weather (Phoenix), neaten up the wires that you’d think the guy who put the engine in might have neatened up instead of leaving hanging and take out the faux-Recaro buckets seats I hated and put in a bench seat from an 81 Regal. They don’t fit in the bed ala Subaru Brat, I checked.

They did the seats on Tuesday, mmmmm cushy, they’re starting work on the rest today, I don’t know why they didn’t work on it Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Did one of you call them and say it’s required to fuck with me when working on that Caballero?

It will not be ready today. It’s going to be hot next week and I want to put the convertible under a car cover. Hopefully the Caballero will be ready by August.
