Yeah, he does several of those each summer. Plow days as well.

It's a hobby. He buys and restores tractors. Takes them completely apart, sand blasts them, paints the. Replaces any damaged or missing stock parts with real original parts he finds and get's them running again.

You should get him to watch this and enhance his hobby (or is he MAGA too?):

I wouldn't say he's MAGA, but he is conservative.

He will vote for Trump, no doubt about it. He's vary much has fallen for the narrative that democrats will take his guns away and his hard earned money to give to illegals and minorities mooching off the welfare system.

I just hope they have a lot of “Awooogaaah” type horns.

My home town is home to one of the oldest and largest annual meet ups of steam powered engines/tractors, The Threshermen’s Reunion held annually over Labor Day weekend.



So, for me they gotta be Steam-Powered or GTFO.

Minnesotans are among the least likely to climb the income ladder in the U.S.

New data shows income stagnation is widespread in America, and Minnesotans are among those least likely to move out of their current bracket. Those who start at the bottom tend to stay at the bottom, and those who start at the top tend to stay at the top.

Tell me how a boomer can read these articles, and their takeaway being that most people these days are poor at money management and if only they had invested some of their money in stocks like Apple instead of spending it they could have climbed hire on the income latter.

Speaking of which, Kamala already doing things that will lose her the swings states and announcing a plan to ban assualt weapons.

Economics nowhere on the intial list of stuff. Abortion, gun control, childcare, healthcare.

3 of those 4 are good issues to be focused on with #1 and #3 being things that should rally the troops and are very important. But excuse me for being frustrated there is no mention of the housing crises or cost of living and instead focus on a losing issue.

Let's see how things evolve.

who are the voters you thinks she’s trying to win in these swing states?

Suburban Moms who worry about a psycho coming to a school with assault weapons or gun nuts?

You gotta dig down deeper than a just say swing states love their guns. The voters that worry about losing their guns were never gonna vote for Biden or Harris to begin with.

Suburban moms might be on the fence due frustration with inflation and fears of crime. This would be something that would appeal to them along with Abortion Rights, and childcare.

Yep; my Floridian sister in-law said in 2020 that while she didn't like Trump she wouldn't be voting Biden because "he'll take the guns away." If people are going to freight you with that concern you may as well follow through (joking but also not joking).
 
If the government did take away even half of the guns in the US. we'd still have as many guns as the next five highest countries (India, China, Pakistan, Russia, Brazil) combined. The hilarious irony about the "MEXICAN ILLEGALSSSS@!!!!@21!" coming to the US with guns is that the US has 10x the gun ownership rate of Mexico lol. This is only civilian gun ownership too, totally disregards how many guns are in circulation among cops, military, security firms, etc.

The gangs and warlords running Haiti get their guns smuggle FROM the US. It’s easier to get guns here than anywhere else in the world.

Fear is the right's best ally. It's all they have. Fear of being replaced, fear of a changing America, fear of reality, fear of being asked to conserve resources. And sadly, it works.

It’s funny when you think about things a bit deeper. Who is a bigger bad ass? The Rambo tough guy with a giant truck and a shed full of guns afraid of goddamn anyone who is slightly different or a woman walking to her car alone after work?
 
I’ve stopped thinking common sense gun laws will work. Just look at the bump stock decision by the Supreme Court. I mean Trump did that shit. It’s high time if they believe that we are coming for their guns that we actually do it. Maybe the fear of their guns being taken will actually get them to come to the table in as close to good faith as can be done.

On another note, why doesn’t Harris just nip the FEC bs in the butt? A. It’s clear she’s not gonna have a problem getting donations. B. Call the original donors and explain the deal. C. Refund the money. D. Recollect.

Fuck Trump and their stupid bullshit. Dumbasses can’t even get the facts straight to file.

Because it’s Bullshit and they are in the right not to returning it. Setting up a new infrastructure takes time, effort. and money. Everything is already in place. Let’s not allow Trump and the Right to dictate terms.

The FEC is a bipartisan commission made up of 3 GOP and 3 Dems at worse it’s a stalemate but my guess is that the decision would be nearly unanimous.
