Is that sourced or suspected worth? Ill gotten gains of dictatorship? "The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of ... They actually sided with the law!" Well my dad always did side with the law, but he wasn't keen on the inmates in orange jumpsuits awaiting his kid should he not bail them in 48 hrs from NBPD Jail

For those of you who may sometimes be nostalgic for when times were better and simpler:

Thank you for that MDDad. Bittersweet. So sad what our country is becoming.

It was a quiet, serene mountain pasture in Montana when suddenly a brand-new 2020 BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.
The driver, a young man named Cliff in a Brioni® suit, Gucci® shoes, RayBan® sunglasses and YSL® tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"
Bud looks at the man, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?"
The driver parks his car, whips out his Dell® notebook computer, connects it to his Apple iPhone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop® and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany ...
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Apple iPad® that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL® database through an ODBC connected Excel® spreadsheet with email on his Galaxy S8® and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet® printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Bud.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back what you took?"
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"
"You're a Congressman for the U.S. Government", says Bud.
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you know?"
"You showed up here even though nobody called you," said the cowboy. "You want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you know nothing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep."
"Now give me back my dog."
AND THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

That's not only hilarious, but if I imagine AOC as Cliff it's also totally believable.

My wife and I went to the auction in Paris Kentucky the other week and one of the first exhibits we stopped at was the breeding bulls. We went up to the first pen and there was a sign attached that said,
'THIS BULL MATED 50 TIMES LAST YEAR'
My wife playfully nudged me in the ribs ......smiled and said, 'He mated 50 times last year, that's almost once a week.'
We walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said, ''THIS BULL MATED 150 TIMES LAST YEAR'
My wife gave me a healthy jab and said, 'WOW~~That's more than twice a week ! ...........You could learn a lot from him.'
We walked to the third pen and it had a sign attached that said, in capital letters, 'THIS BULL MATED 365 TIMES LAST YEAR
'My wife was so excited that her elbow nearly broke my ribs, and said, 'That's once a day ..You could REALLY learn something from this one.'
I looked at her and said, 'Go over and ask him if every time was with the same old cow.'
My condition has been upgraded from critical to stable and I should eventually make a full recovery.

This one hits pretty close to home, as I'm expecting my second granddaughter in four months:
There was this loving grandfather who always made a special effort to spend time with his son's family on weekends.
Every Saturday morning he would take his 5-year-old granddaughter out for a drive in the car for some quality time -- pancakes, ice cream, candy -- just him and his granddaughter. One particular Saturday, however, he had a terrible cold and could not get out of bed. He knew his granddaughter always looked forward to their drives and would be very disappointed.
Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter for her weekly drive and breakfast. When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her grandfather who was still in bed.
"Well, did you enjoy your ride with Grandma?" he asked.
His granddaughter dropped her head dejectedly and said, "Not really, Opa, it was boring. We didn't see a single asshole, queer, piece of shit, horse's ass, lesbo, tree hugger, socialist left wing prick, tranny, blind bastard, dipshit, fudge packer, Muslim camel humper or son of a bitch anywhere we went! We just drove around and Grandma smiled at everyone she saw. I really didn't have any fun."

2 ways you can tell this photo is fake: - (Presumably) men in the restroom with women (presumably); and
- Pelosi has a reflection in the mirror.

I swear this is a true story. I have a friend who is a licensed pilot and owns his own four-seater airplane. He also had the intelligence and foresight to move from Southern California to eastern Tennessee several years ago. He recently landed at a tiny country airport in Kentucky coal country. Upon going to the men's room (yes, they still have men's and women's rooms in Tennessee and Kentucky) he saw the following sign framed and hung above the urinal at eye level: ATTENTION PILOTS AND MECHANICS
THOSE OF YOU WITH LOW MANIFOLD PRESSURE AND/OR SHORT EXHAUST STACKS, PLEASE TAXI IN A LITTLE CLOSER. THE NEXT PERSON TAXIING TO THIS SHORT TERM PARKING MAY NOT HAVE A SEA-PLANE RATING.
