I knew old guys in the 80's
and 90's who went to farm
auctions and bought old
worn out Craftsman tools.
They had a lifetime guarantee
and they would trade them
in at Sears for new ones, and
then sell them.

I wondered how many guys
in the US were doing this, and
the effect it had on Sears. It
certainly wasn't good.


I asked to trade a toolbox from the 1960s, but tool boxes were not eligible.

I still remember my dad was using sockets on the impact wrench to get a head off an old Cadillac. He broke several and I kept getting sent. I think we cleaned them out of that size.
The President is a fink.

Steve Bannon on Bill Maher last night.
He made Maher look like a squacking
child. As soon as Bannon was scoring
points that Trump not only isn't insane,
that he's extremely smart and crafty,
Maher changes the subject to how
Trump won't leave the WH when
he loses in 2020. Maher panders
horribly to his moron Lib audience,
he's smarter than that.

Somehow I've become immune to all this 'news' about Trump and really don't much care if he is a dyslexic egotistical retarded Putin-pawn obsessed with immigrants or not.

News to me has been:
Galileo letter of 1613 found in archives.
Spices used in Scandinavian cuisine 5,000 years ago.
Trigger-happy cop in Dallas who shot an "intruder" was fired from the force, but it may be a publicity ploy.
IMF lends a fortune to Argentina currency support black hole.
Culinary scientist departs under a cloud.
FDA to consider 'almond milk' an unlawful product name to placate the 'chocolate milk comes from brown cows' crowd.

Through Hillary, yup. Maher means Trump
will physically refuse to leave if he's voted
out. The look on Bannon's face says it all,
he knows Maher is just pandering to his
screaming audience. If you see Maher in
other situations, he's not at all like he
is on his show. He seems normal. On the
show he's doing his over the top act, he
drops it when the camera ins't on him.

Oh no, not a proxy third term, I am talking about the people, perpetuated on sites like brietbart, who actually believed that Obama was going to hold on to the presidency somehow.

Never saw that, must have been very
isolated. All I ever heard was Hillary
was going to be the 3rd term. People
who say a voted out president won't leave
are idiots. He could only do that with
a military coup, which is never going to
happen here. Bill Maher must realize
what a fool he looks like when he says
Trump won't leave. He just says it to hear
the audience scream in orgasmic hatred.

There were a bunch of articles on Snopes detailing the fake news of Obama arranging for a third term:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/false-obama-announces-plans-for-a-third-term-presidential-run/
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/terms-of-service/
https://www.snopes.com/news/2016/08/28/obama-plans-clinton-indictment-as-third-term-ploy/

Much of that was abuzz among the tinfoil hat wearing crowd, and on Facebook shared posts and whatnot. The original material is most likely long gone by now, and may have been posted by Russians attempting to influence the outcome of.our election.

Even Keyser on WOV posted about one of them:

From 5 years ago? You gave the
impression it was big deal in the
election. I never heard it.
