Remember that when you're buying tires
I do pay some attention to tire choices, usually checking Tire Rack.  But I buy tires rarely, so 10 minutes spent on line could save me $417.

As we talk about anonymous sources, I'm reminded of some chat we had where an anonymous Twitter egg purported to work at a morgue or some such thing while tweeting at a political provocateur. The tweet was taken with some measure of seriousness by a person or two, saying "well, if he actually had that job, he couldn't go public and keep it." 

I try to be moderately skeptical and not flip my lid too much at such things. Hopefully I'm doing an OK job.

Meh. Thomas Edison didn't invent the light bulb. So Biden is at least half right.
he didn't come up with the concept but he's the 1st one to put it to practical use.Of course tesla refined things with his AC current.C'mon Sam that's like saying you don't have a Law degree but are a carnival barker at the county hog calling contest.I'll look past that obvious gaffe as you are a Buckeye in good standing or in your case with the Oktoberfests - sitting

About the Trump comments, whether he said them or not, the fact some of us think he well may have is rather telling.

Had a flat tire today.  While this wasn’t my first flat tire this was the first flat I’ve ever had to fix on the side of the road.  Had two different people within a span of 5 minutes who stopped and asked if I needed help.  Restored my faith in humanity...    ...a little.

Except that Fox News is reporting some confirmation of the story:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-didnt-cancel-visit-to-american-military-cemetery-in-france-over-disdain-for-slain-veterans-sources-say

The sources Fox News is relying on confirm the basic tenor of the Atlantic article, if not the specific detail related to Belleau Wood: that Trump does not understand and respect military sacrifice.

I found this part of Fox News's reporting the most interesting:
"Separately, this former official also heard the president say of American veterans: "What’s in it for them? They don’t make any money?" Multiple sources have confirmed Trump said something to this effect during a 2017 visit at Arlington cemetery, as described in the Atlantic piece, though one insisted Trump was not being derogatory."

If it wasn't derogatory (and maybe--!?!--it wasn't), it shows a fundamental lack of understanding of military service.

Changing one's own tire makes you feel tremendously productive. 

Then the times someone gets called for some reason or another, you think, "Man, that good equipment makes it a whole lot easier."

I read the whole thing. You have Trump people saying it never got said- AND Bolton confirming the Atlantic article about why he did not attend, completely false.
you guys sure try hard to paint the picture you want.  But your not changing anyone’s mind on this.

Here's two, named, on-record: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/04/trump-soldiers-tammy-duckworth-joe-biden


Quote
Both Elizabeth Neumann, a former assistant secretary of counter-terrorism in the Department of Homeland Security, and Miles Taylor, a former chief of staff in that department, said the account was true, asserting that Trump’s low opinion of soldiers killed and wounded in combat was well-known inside the administration.
I don't know who they are, or whether they were physically there and can corroborate firsthand knowledge. 


But they're saying it's true, by name.

Probably true. Which is its own problem.
