"Does he ever stop talking?..."
I don't know, Meathead probably takes "Gaylord" as a compliment.
I think I need some sort of diagram to explain the relationship in the picture.
They're on a transformative journey. Transforming a venerable car company into a miserable failure.
But I hear there'll be glitter...
I was a Pontiac fan from a Pontiac family.
They couldn't even let the brand die with dignity - had to pillage it on the way out with monstrosities like that.
Was already tired of GMs antics, but that was the final nail in the coffin for me.
He owns one of the most extensive car collections in the world, but decided to walk. But he was in a hurry...
If you're going to lie, at least put 5 minutes of thought into it.
It would be the smart thing to do. Luckily, despite the portayal in Western media, Putin is no dummy. He's got to realize that walking back from a nuke strike will be virtually impossible.
The problem is the sickos within our government who might pull the trigger out of desperation.
Play stupid games...win stupid prizes.

"Democratic operative Brianna Wu, who is transgender, told me recently that she finds fault in current lax methods of..."
The irony here is that the CIA is so poorly regarded, that Russia could actually be the one who cut the cable, and the Clowns would still get the blame.
So Eva Longoria will be deported back to LA?
As someone who's seriously looked into living south of the border, I can assure you that every government south of Texas takes their borders very seriously, especially where Gringos are concerned. You may be welcome to visit and spend your money, but if you want to stay, you'd better be independently wealthy or have a steady and demonstrable source of income.
No sauntering over the border and living incognito. Mexico is a large country, yet I'd guess there are maybe a few thousand "illegal" Gringos, if that, and most probably just overstayed their visa a bit.
Pot meet kettle.
You're right, and I think that's why individual Americans are generally welcomed by the people of those places. They seem to be able to distinguish between the American people and the American government.
What's less distinguishable is the difference between American government and American corporations. In that part of the world, they probably look identical.
TBF, many of the reasons people fled those countries can be traced to US intervention. We've been seriously meddling in those countries for more than a century and almost always make things worse.
It wasn't science, it was politics. Power is the motivation.
You mean the explosives US scientists figured out in the early 1940s with slide rules and using tube electronics to control?
Same reason libtards throw tantrums.
Next!
I don't often laugh out loud at a meme.
But I did today.
How about a Guy Fawkes mask? That would freak the right people out.
Just say it's for "Covid"...
I always forget about Summit. Awesome company.
Used to live about 90 minutes from the Talmadge showroom. Many a Sunday night I'd zip there to wrap up a project. I'm one state over now and they still deliver within a day or two if in stock.
Advance is pretty much the only auto parts dealer in our little town. I used them a fair amount. I'm also familiar with another store in the next county over, and the main store in the nearest city which serves as the distribution center. So I'm pretty familiar and have talked to a lot of the people behind the counter.
Some observations:
-
The local managers seem to have some control over what gets stocked. At one point, I had a GMC pickup truck and a Jeep Cherokee. My local store always had parts for the pickup, but if I needed parts for the Cherokee right away, I'd have to run to the next county. Sometimes I'd have to run into the city. No biggie.

A few years ago, some bonehead at corporate decided to set stocking levels. So, as an example, the local store might have the ball joint I need, but they only stock one, even though the vehicle takes two. For most people who are doing mechanical work at home, the bulk of the time is taking the daily driver out of service, getting it prepped, on jacks, maybe renting a special tool, etc. If one side needs replacement, you may as well do the other while you're doing all that work or you're just going to have to do it again in a month or three.
The problem with #2 is that every trip to the local store, requires either an additional trip to another store that day, or you have to wait for them to order and transfer the other part(s) you need. Many, if not most of us, do a lot of wrenching on the weekend. If you have to spend half the day driving to multiple stores, or you have to wait until the next day for parts, then you loose a lot of time.
So the solution would be to plan ahead. But perversely, that's where Advance loses.
If I plan ahead, I can go to Rockauto.com and get better quality parts way cheaper than Advance and I can have them delivered without me having to drive to any stores. I can also use Amazon or ebay (although both risk counterfeit parts, but that's another rant).
When Advanced changed their stocking policy, they basically lost me as a customer unless I'm desperate for one part and I need it that day. Otherwise, it's not worth the trouble to buy from them. I don't know if I'm in the majority, but I bet I'm not alone.
Just MHO, but State needs to be cleaned out of traitors just as much or more than the rest of Fedgov. It's an incubator for anti-Americanism.
I just don't see Rubio doing that.
"Takes no lobbyist cash", somehow becomes multi-millionaire.
So should we buy stock in airlines?
I wonder if pedos in Aussie prisons get the same special care from the other inmates as they do in US prisons...
