Too bad she failed the Turing test.

When they told her to get in line for the test she got in the line labeled 'touring' and became a trucker.

None of these so called truckers are even really truckers. Have you seen one chimp in the passenger seat of any of these trucks? No? Case closed.

Was trying to just post the pic in this, but that ad is pretty good too.

I can't imagine what the kompromat is on Trump. Can't be mere pee tapes.

Not to get too deep into it, but most of Trump's businesses have loans through Russian banks since US banks wouldn't touch him. (Even prior to 2016).

Bank debt has never bothered him before. Of course that wasn't Russian Bank Debt (tm).

The vig alone on a Putin loan is more than Florida Man can grift in a year.

He was seen harassing Costco workers over rules they did not set. This week, he flipped out once again. After being asked to wear a mask a the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, Schroder went off.

He harassed the guards, saying “God’s laws are higher than the federal government’s, but you’re going to enforce man’s laws?” Schroder called them Nazis in a video he posted. The rant caused him to become Twitter’s main character for a day.

That’s very good Daehawk. You caught the reference to BJ and the Bear. It was obscure, but you plucked it right out.

...and the Every Which Way But Loose movies. There was an odd fascination with pairing truckers with simians around that time.

Right turn, Clyde.

The ever popular Semis and Simians genre, or as it's known more colloquially, Macks and Monkeys.

I remember in high school, I wanted to go to some sex comedy that all the other kids were seeing. I had finally gotten my dad to agree to take us as it was rated R. I took one of my friends with me as he also wanted to see it. But when we got there, he stopped outside the theater and suddenly announced he was going to see Every Which Way But Loose because it had an orangutan. I was friggin' furious. We ended up seeing it because I imagine my dad felt somewhat relieved he wouldn't have to take us to something my mother would probably yell at him about later.

...I still think that incident is the source of all my issues throughout life.

Oh I loved that show. Had a thing for Stacks. Also liked the spin off The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo.

Probably won't see too many of these in the city but friends out in the suburbs have reported seeing them:



We so fucked.

You just need some little Trump and Putin head stickers to 'fix' them.

I took one off at my local 7-11 a little while back.

Haven't seen these ones in particular (yet), but a different Biden sticker was stuck all over the pumps around here. I don't remember what it said, but it was not flattering in case you're wondering.

Also, the gas related ones in particular, are ingenious, really. This is one small example of the ways that the GOP/right wing can beat a superior voting population. They come up with (relatively IMO) 'dirty' politics ideas like this all the time. A lot of them, like this, are very creative. I just don't think you would see something like this from liberals in general.

They are always coming up with new ways to either praise their guy, or denigrate the other guy, via ground roots stuff like this that catches on, and gets adopted by the base writ large, and spread far and wide.

It's also a bit asymmetric. Their success partially relies on a population of undereducated and underinformed people. It's hard to fight back when the answer is technical or requires explanation and their trusted sources are lying to them.

I tried putting "I take no responsibility" Trump stickers on starving kids after cuts to their school food programs and SNAP benefits were proposed, but I was told it was not appropriate.

I dont get this.....

You should have gone with temporary tattoos instead of stickers. Kids love temporary tattoos, so they'd've put them on themselves.

They were both in Silver Spoons, so I think it's just contrasting how things are going for them?

On its own, I thought it was humorous. But Issie kindly provided more context in his post immediately following mine.

Those are on all the pumps that I’ve been to here in FL for at least a month.

Bateman is hot, Schroder is not.

I guess this is another benefit of going electric. Less exposure to the dumb at the pump.

That sticker will piss them off when prices get low.

Since God's Laws vary wildly depending on who you're talking to, I'm friggin' glad we apply Man's Laws when it comes to marrying underage girls, the right to beat your wife, and forcing people to drink Kool Aid laced with poison.

Good God, Ricky Schroder looks terrifying (and a bit creepy). What the hell happened to this absurdly cute kid?!
