Russian Commanders Get ATTACK Orders...

Posted By Greg Shaffer

He is the "Link Master" of AM lol

Thinking about his posts 90%+ of them are little more than a link and a blurb copy/pasted from the link. Rarely is there any original content that indicates any thought went into it. If there is any original content in his posts 90% that is devoted to baiting us conservatives. Given I might open as many as 1 in 20 of those links its as if one of the most prolific posters in the group isnt really here smile

I do have to say, here and publicly (sorta, to the extent this is public), that I suspect the press is spinning Trump's comments or taking them out of context.

Nailed it..... Would not be the 1st time.....not only for out of context but straight up lying as well lol

I said from day one that Trump's worst enemy was his ego......that has not changed. Bottom line is I would take mean tweets back in a second to not be where we find ourselves today......

I feel your pain on the lumber and materials prices Rich......

Pre-covid a 2x4x12 treated board was about $8 here.....By the end of last year we were paying $15.77 each for them. Then the prices went down nearly to pre-covid at just under $9 ea. In Jan they started SHOOTING up again and hit $18.48 ea about 2 weeks ago. Thankfully it only stayed there for about a week and dropped back to $16.48 ea.....I expect it will be quite a while before it goes below that though......So now its about double what it was pre-covid.

Corrugated tin is another product I use a lot of.....about $15 per 8 foot sheet pre-covid.....Now $26 ea.

Looks like a good choice

We have some significant differences of opinion on this one......at the very least from a philosophical perspective when it comes to the Constitution.

Too Funny! Laura Ingraham Interviews Trump on Ukraine

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Given the Labor Dept just confirmed that inflation has reached the point of causing a $300 per month, per person rise in living cost, the highest since 1982 all that voted for Biden should be patting themselves on the back......No more mean tweets right? lol
