re: Jet ski purchase

We have two, but we do live on a river.

I ride once or twice a week. It’s a totally different experience than a boat.

Try to buy used, then sell for the same money when you get bored.

We have 2021 yamaha fx and vx. The fx is more comfortable, the vx more nimble I suppose. I prefer the FX.

Be wary of supercharged and their potential issues.
My apologies to the H&G Board.

If an admin feels so inclined, please move to the poli talk.
At least in US history?

Covid was big, but was short-lived. Well, I guess we’ll see how really short it was eventually.

We should pause and compliment the brain power and strategist within the Israeli expansion effort. They have reined in the power of the most powerful nation on earth for their own use.

Grassy1 salutes you, Israel. You have successfully used my hard earned tax dollars to progress your mission. This Bud’s for you.

Wow


That's a very insightful Wow that you had.

If you buy a teenager's car, and his booze, are you not complicit and guilty if he kills someone?

The propaganda makes it so much easier for Americans to finance Israel’s every blood thirsty wish

Thanks for your reply.

In the dialogue that I saw of the signal chat, the only one that spoke up and reminded everyone of Trump’s agenda of making European nations pay their fair share (by being part of the offensive against the Houthis) wqs JD Vance.

Waltz was pushing hard to drop bombs on the apartment building of the guy’s girlfriend.

Is that the less MAGA you mean?

If I was Trump, I’d been less than impressed with everyone in the chat not following his (publicized) directives of less war and Europe pulling their weight.

Time will tell if Trump is really in favor of less war.

The USA taxpayers support it heavily!

Here's your latest contribution, not counting the ships and bases surrounding Israel

That would be me, and I'm guessing you pay federal taxes also.

Why is it our fault? We are not attacking anyone. We send food and Hamas wont let it be distributed.

My American friend, do you not realize that we (the United States of America taxpayer) is financing this entire thing?

Your tax dollars, and my tax dollars have been and will continue to pay for this bloodbath.

And lots of Americans are getting filthy rich over it. Mainly politicians and defense contractors, and anyone near them.

Whether you get it or not, we are paying for the circus and the monkeys. We are the clowns bought by... AIPAC??

AIPAC boasts of the latest 3.8 billion secured from American taxpayers so they can "defend themselves"

And this doesn't include the fleet of ships and bases surrounding them.

I get being dubious about Israel, however, if Hamas did not attack innocent Israeli's on October 7, 2023, would Gaza be suffering like this?

The answer is no.

If Gazans didn't support Hamas so fervently, would they be experiencing this? The answer is no.

This truly is a part of the "find out" phase of past actions. You may not like it, but Israel is a civilized society surrounded by uncivilized nations, and those nations all want Israel eliminated. No, i don't like my tax dollars going to fund this, but i also don't shed a tear Hamas or Gaza, considering the entirety of Hamas' infrastructure is sheltered by Gazans. There are Muslims and Gazans that live peacefully in parts of Israel. They are not being exterminated. If Israel was anything like Hamas, they would have been eliminated long ago.


Unfortunately, history didn't start on Oct 7, 2023.

And unfortunately, we can't even pretend what Israel would look like without if were not the welfare state of the United States. That would be like imagining Nancy Pelosi's net worth without her access to congressional insider trading.

With the help of the UK and the USA, Israel has succeeded into penning up the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Somehow, the IDF intelligence and defense was invisible on Oct 7. They allowed the rabid folks to escape and kill 1242 people. Just what Bibi wanted.

You do know that Bibi propped up Hamas to keep Gaza separate from the West Bank (PLO)?

Now they have "defended themselves" to the tune of tens, and maybe hundreds of thousand of deaths of any human they can find.

None of that possible without the your and my tax dollars that has been purchased by AIPAC. They are smart and powerful. Not to mention our fleets and installed bases manned for their protection.

AIPAC boasts of it's $3.8 billion secured in March Continuing Resolution

We are slowly waking up. But we are slow, and very busy making a living and trying to enjoy our lives. It's understandable that we're distracted.

Wut?


Do you not know this?

Do you think Israel actually "defends itself"?

They don't. They are the US's largest beneficiary of all nations on this planet. That small little nation that in 1890 decided to start nation of mostly Europeans, in the middle of the Middle East and has been shedding it's own and other folks blood on their mission.

A country that is wealthy enough to fund it's own healthcare for it's citizens, and has a much higher per capita income than the US, yet still needs the US citizens to pay for it's weapons, and then have the US surround the region to "protect them".

Your and my tax dollars fund their bloodshed and expansion. Whether we print it, borrow it, or go to work and have it garnished from our paychecks.

Feel free to check my work, my fellow-American.

We can sit comfortably in our recliners and blame Israel or Hamas for children, just like our own, who didn't vote for anything, who were raised where they were raised, being starved and literally bombed to death.

But it's not really Israel or Hamas, or the Palestinians doing this.

It's US dollars, earned, borrowed or printed by Americans, appropriated to the nation of Israel, used to purchase American made weapons to blockade and bomb the hell out of children.

We sit by, while Israel does this with our money. Somehow, I believe that we Americans will pay a larger price for this tragedy than the billions upon billions that we've already paid for it. And we will, collectively, blame someone else yet again.
Just curious, would you consider "not wanting to use US taxpayer dollars to support the expansion or defense of Israel" a Leftist position?

Yes sir, I would wait and see if there’s any more movement before spending money on repairs, unless there’s some other pressing reason to rush the repairs.

re: Foundation Repair Question

Posted by Grassy1 on 4/28/25 at 5:17 pm
What exactly is your question?

I’ve paid to have it done.
How fricking embarrassing.

Poorest country in the Middle Easy embarrassing the largest military in the planet’s history, with thousand dollar weapon systems while we spill our planes into the ocean.

Thank God it’s all for Israel. Oh yea, it’s really all to protect Europe’s trade routes. I get confused by the rhetoric.

All hail to Bibi!

Is that happening on FoxNews?


Seems to me, an outlet that wasn't biased, AND bought off by varying entities, would be able to advocate for the people NOT in power (the American citizens), AND in our case, a perspective from the two parties which do have the power over our citizens.

Obviously, FoxNews caters and stirs up it's viewers to create ratings (for advertising income), AND ignores stories or pov's that are counter to those financially propping them up. They certainly would never call out Pfizer or anything to do with the Military Industrial Complex, but rather have "former General Bomber" and "former CIA dude Bob Secret."

I've chosen to ignore their entire propaganda machine.

:cheers: Enjoy your weekend.
