I will be picking up a new truck someday in the future in IA and driving back to NV. I just hope the prices don't climb in the next 5-6 months like they have in the last 6. If they do I can't even imagine what it will cost to fill up several times on the trip home. :(

Fill it with unicorn farts you will get better mileage.

I was going to take a trip to the Rainbow Forest and try to catch a Unicorn then I found out they pooped skittles and the engine wouldn't burn the sugar. I was thinking maybe I could get to Rock Candy Mountain and catch some minks so I could squeeze them for their oil. I wonder how miles per mink I can get. :)

I agree with the article. I hope they catch the vandals.

They should repaint it, then get a local sign painter who can do a better job with professional lettering of the message.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Let's go Brandon = Burning the flag
Quote
    As a friend said, I think it should be equated with burning the flag, in essence, that’s what they are doing. https://t.co/0WrJzFSkwv

    — Rep. Gloria Johnson (@VoteGloriaJ) November 15, 2021

So does this mean burning the flag is suddenly not protected by the 1st? Do the math, do the math.

The bottom line - Let's Go Brandon is _simultaneously_ ridiculing/exposing Biden's incompetence, and... ridiculing the media's fawning over him...
 
And the media does NOT like that.

Part of me wants to put a "Lets Go Brandon" bumper sticker on her car.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Yes... comedy has conventionally been "liberal" because it is attacking a conservative "establishment."

Now establishment is insanely leftist, comedy should naturally become more "conservative"... at least comedy that is actually funny.

Would "anti-establishment" be a better description? 

At one time that meant leftist counter-culture people.  These days, those people are in power.

I should have gone back to get a pic. Out to town today and someone was in the median dressed as the grinch complete with face paint and sporting a Let's Go Brandon sign.

If you want a picture, how about this one?  Just find the "appropriate" places to put them (gas pumps, grocers, etc.).

I ordered a batch off of Amazon.
Tagged both of the convenience stores in town last week. As of yesterday evening both stickers are still in place.

I see them them everywhere here. All you are doing is screwing over the low wage job employee that has to go scrape off the stickers. Buy a billboard or put a sign on your stuff.

You mean they'd rather stand out by the street twirling a big arrow with the word "SALE" or "OPEN" on it?

The stickers are pretty low tack adhesive and peel right off, since the ones I've put up are still in place over a week later I don't think anyone has been inconvenienced.
