That red part in the smoke is the Tall Crane arm. Huge lickin flames.

Obession, or Addiction? That is the question that preoccupies The Master Plan Dan.

K&N?

ya K&N!

nice lookin motor but I hated that commercial ;)

Is it all its cranked up to be?

> How much you asking?

I knew I forgot something. Price has been added to the main description but also right here: $900 CDN plus shipping. I can ship this pro.

> Is that an 01? I can't remember my Monster years…

frame and monster both '00. The '01s were black and red.

> marcus look at the whistler website and gallery ur in the second to last picture of may

You had my hopes up - I was hoping it was an action shot, not a shot of my backside.

> holy fuck, so there was a CK steelset stuck in the reducers? I guess as long as the frame is OK its all good. What happened to the steelset?

The steelset is A-ok. The reducers were actually really easy to cut with a hacksaw after I went through a few dremel disc's trying to get all surgical on its ass. Nothing but one minor scratch on the one of the steelset cups.

I must ask where you got this and how much?

nice bicycles!

pm me if youre going to sell the supreme frame sometime :)

While President Trump has withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris arrangements, its added carbon footprint turns out to be no worse and indeed better than other major emitters – China, India, Russia, Japan, Germany, Canada, Mexico.

I can't say I disagree with Counterpunch here, as much as I would like to.  The agreements are empty promises and most of the time any actual gains are accidental, like in the case of the US reducing CO2 by hitting a natural gas boom and thereby reducing coal.  

A few things keep my hope above water (barely) when I read the estimates.  The idea of slowly getting off fossil fuels was never likely, so thinking reductions will follow a straight line is not really realistic.  Like most things, we will reach a tipping point where electric cars and renewables are just the most cost-effective and practical answers.  The only thing I think we are missing the boat on is nuclear.  Or maybe we are freaking out about nothing and it's a comet strike that is going to get us first.  

I think it's too late to keep it below 2 degrees, but it is at least slightly more optimistic.  We need to prepare for drastic change and figure out where Reductimat's bunker is located.

You should hope we make it there. Whats gonna happen when we all freeze though?

AMAZON, Seattle, Washington; California, Maryland and Texas

Six worker deaths in seven months; 13 deaths since 2013. Reports of a high incidence of suicide attempts; workers urinating in bottles and workers left without resources or income after on-the-job injuries. The company was also a “Dirty Dozen” entry in 2018.

This holiday season, think of an alternative.

Heck no.   They have great prices and services. 

As for the number of deaths, how about some stats from other companies that employ 650,000 workers.

Almost every company that size has a union, for a reason. Once they finalize the automatons, they'll be set.

Mueller found nothing in Trump?  His report said Trump would be in jail with his lawyer if it wasn't for the fact that Trump is President.

Citation and link needed.

Lets go ASA style bro.

A tweet from Papadopoulos for.. perspective lets say.

Remember a simple fact and block out the maddening spin just days before the IG testifies. Durham’s probe became a CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION after he and AG Barr traveled to Italy to learn about Mifsud. Before that it was an administrative review. Let the AG finish his work.

Well... that tweet didn't age well. LOL

The prosecutor tasked by Attorney General Bill Barr to investigate the origins of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation could not provide evidence to the Justice Department’s inspector general that a meeting between a Maltese professor who met with a Trump campaign adviser was a U.S. intelligence asset.

Not clicking on it this late or after this much but you realize none of those names match up right...?

I wont have to lay anything out when they vote yes to impeach. Discovery will force Schiff to perjure himself. It'll also allow Republicans to actually ask A question of, well, anyone. Because if you've been paying attention to Jim Jordan, the whole process by Schiff is a kangaroo court from a banana republic.

I dont have the time to do the thinking for you Chupcake. Not only that, you have failed to read most of what I've already posted for quite some time now. Either that, or you just cant consider the other side. At this point, I think we can sit back and watch the show. It's pretty easy to understand why Republicans are in jail though, when you consider FBI agents altering 302s pertaining to what a Republican said. Didnt you say the FBI was always more friendly to Republicans administrations?

btw - I cant believe I forgot Mueller and Rosenstein in that list. Those were your boys. They were gonna wrap it up! They were gonna find... something on Trump. Mueller found nothing. And is the impeachment report released yet? Or was that this morning and you've read it all already? Because I thought they/Congress had to vote on it by end of yesterday after less than 24 hours of it being in their hands. Sounds like the Patriot Act....

Why would anyone pay attention to Jim Jordan?  Yelling over people and not asking questions is his claim to fame.  Of course, Schiff is an experienced prosecutor and Jordan is an experienced assistant coach, so I don't expect much from, but he is a sideshow at best.

You don't have time to do the thinking for yourself so I am not asking you to try and do it for me.  The "other side" is just hilarious to me at this point.  They are desperate, and you don't seem to see it.

None of it matters anyway.  We can't even vote.  The courts will keep sending Trump's clowns to jail and the Republicans will be crushed in 2020 and history will be the judge.  Anything you don't want to hear will be explained away by one the blogs you read all day and America will keep drifting apart as 40% of the country is too stupid to know they have been played.  Good times.

Jim Jordan is in a similar job scope to Schiff - why? Because he was elected there. Coach or "experienced Lawyer" aside, they are there for a reason. Clearly, you know not of what I or you actually speak of.

I dont see any despair on the non Dem side. I cant blame them if misconstrued frustration is assumed differently. But mind you, I'm actually not looking for it.

As for your 40% comment, you are a truly bad neighbor.

I don't have the time to fact check all the errors and omissions or investigate the inuendos that I don't understand. BHO and GWB locked vault? What's that. Should I have to Google it?

As for Ukraine, I do realize the scope. They are a country torn between Russia and the West. There are a lot of people there still loyal to Russia, and a lot of the same oligarchs controlling things so there is a lot of corruption and shenanigans. What I also know is that it is almost entirely members of the GOP they seem to have political and business connections from Russia and the pro-Russia side of Ukraine. From Manafort, to the lawyer that met with Don Jr, to the spy that was knee-deep in the NRA, to Trump Tower Moscow, to Gates, to Stone, to Flynn. That is a lot of smoke for there to be no fire.

Well if I'm posting facts, you dont have to check them :P Just accept them like you expect "us" to accept how you see the world. No? Didnt think so.

You say Manafort, Gates, Flynn and others. Any one could easily reply with Comey, McCabe, Wray, Brennan, Clapper, Holder, Lynch, Strzok, Page, Schiff, Pelosi, Feinstein and her 20 year employed driver spy, Biden & Biden, 5eyes, Italy/Spain and your sides saviour, Obama. I could keep going if I actually looked up more names.

Except that the people I mentioned are in jail for their crimes. You could easily mention Mickey Mouse, but a review of the facts would show there is no reasonable proof they have deals or vested interest with people close to the Kremlin. They are also mostly Republicans. They are also not working for the president. I am sorry that you have retired your critical thinking skills, but those of us that still use them can see that this a group of people that are selling out the USA for their own personal gain.

If you have a real case showing that Schiff or Pelosi (or other people in power) are doing the same, lay it out. The impeachment report and the Mueller report made a clear case against Trump and the GOP. Facts vs Fiction.

Epsteins banker is deaded (?).

edit: Or was it a Trump banker?

Posted by: tungsten

He simply pointing out the hypocrisy of limiting scope of investigation to Ukraine which serves the purpose of entrenching new cold war from which so many members of congress make bank.

They dont do hyprocrisy if its against the Dems. They preach cognitive dissonance like it doesnt apply to liberals.
