  1. Every since obamacare came around the gop has pretty much been in charge of all branches of govt other then the office of president.....  The branches of govt that can act to improve things.  President hasnt done much really. 

  2. Hillary doesnt have a choice but to run....  With out politics she would starve and not have the lifestyle she is accustomed too.  If the otherside gets in she may well go to jail and the clinton foundation shutdown.  Decades of politic will be turned upside down and exposed.  Obama's legacy is also at risk even within....  Sanders would have destroyed obama's legacy legislation.  Trump will destroy obamas legacy.  Hackers have everything they need and as stated above.......  Drip drip drip. Democrats and establishment voters such as the one voting for hillary are seeing there power disappearing before there eyes

    Cars are expensive. College grads can't afford one or a home.

     

    Alot of brand new base model cars that can be had for around 14k or less.  Cars are cheap as shit....  Pickups on the other hand are very expensive these days.

  4. We really need afganistan if we want to ween ourselves off fossil fuel.  Afganistan is one of the last hopes of not being at the chinese will on green energy.  China is already establishing its play in afganistan after we found what we found during the war there.  I think China will beat us to fuck as we are to politically correct to utilize afgsnistans wealth to our benefit....  So china will

  5. Way to many people crying during bernie's speech, they aren't voting for hillary.  No way with this many people with principles and convictions will vote for Clinton.  Many will throw their morals away, some here will pull the lever for Clinton but many won't.  Bernie has single handedly has unraveled the dam party.  He is basically in a round about way announcing his openness to a third party to run in this speech.

    Are you serious.....so not only is she unfunny she is a stupid fuck as well.

    Yep....  Bernie chants were to much for her to handle while she was talking......  Al Franken, on stage with her, looked like he was going to be in trouble and kept looking off stage and stumbled badly on anything he had to say as the cheers for bernie became louder..  They rushed simon to his horrible, off key attempted singing.  Total shit show at the dem convention.

  7. GM has cost tax payers in the US 75 billion....  You think they could make a competitive full size pickup instead of the substandard heavy full size trucks they do now that needs huge incentives to even sell with the 75 billion in free money they got.  Gm pays no taxes on profits.  Hasn't for some time now.  They gladly pay taxes to china though and make vehicles over there and ship her.  Obama must think gm is a person rather then a cooperation.

    The reason for GM’s low tax bill: A big fat tax break in the bailout. This sweetheart deal from the Obama Administration let GM deduct $45.4 billion in costs going forward, against current year taxes, even though it discharged those sums in bankruptcy.

    The $45.4 billion included things like its losses in the years before GM entered bankruptcy, costs for its pensions and post-retirement benefits, as well as costs for its equipment and factories. That means the actual cost of GM’s bailout to taxpayers is much higher, likely on the order of nearly $75 billion, tax experts note.

    It's 81 lbs. Could be plus minus a few depending on options. Hardly anything really. Going to get pretty ugly for Ford 

    Nope incorrect.  I have provided 2 links showing several hundred pounds.  Platinum is so much nicer then any gm pickup.  Again you cant compare any truck to a platinum especially from gm....  The top line gm's are equivalent to a base lariat which is easily 400+ pounds lighter then a denali or high country.

     

     I mean on top of the line gm's you still have to manual lower the tailgate, dont have a twin panel moon roof that runs over the back seats, seats that dont massage you or even 360 caneras.  So many features are missing on a denali or high country to be anything other then a comparison to a lariat.  Ltz's are like xlt's

    18's vs 20's, 6 speed vs 8 speed, bed liner vs no bed liner, who know what other options as fords aren't very good trucks.

    even it all out and the Ford barely has a weight advantage. Pretty sad really. They just caught up only to get left behind again 

    Ford has 10 gallons more fuel on board.  Top of the line gm is equivalent to a lariat.  But the gmin top level trim isnt as refined or as nice as a lariat.  High country or denali is like a base lariat with no additional options.  Ford is lighter by a couple hundred pounds then an equal gm.

  10. Here are the weights of a lariat and ltz certified scales from putc max tow show down.  The f150 in equal form is at least 400 lbs lighter then a comparable model chevy or gmc....  But gm doesnt make anything close to the luxury and features as a platinum or limited ford.  Gm's topped out model is equvalent to a no optioned lariat.

    High country isnt even close to as nice and even close to same features and comforts as a platinum.  A high country is like a lariat which is about 400 lbs difference.

    Aluminum in the bed is dumb. Other than that I just thought it was hilarious that Ford used all that aluminium to be the same weight as a chevy. They used it to cover up their poor structural engineering.

     

    if GM goes to a lot of aluminum they will be significantly lighter than Ford again due to much advanced engineering.

    Ford is easily lighter then a gm pickup.
