Someone has done a real number on them and we are going to pay the price.

Someone?  I know I keep repeating myself, but they've been brainwashed Kindergarten through University by Far Left ideology.  Capitalism, and private ownership of guns is bad.  Limits on free speech is desired by them.  Socialism is more "fair".  Blacks, Gays, and Women have been persecuted by Whitey.  Men are stupid, and can't me trusted.  It goes on and on. 

Add the Media, Entertainment, Social Media, Tech, most of Government and now Corporate American giving them the exact same Social Justice, PC mantra, and you have Fundamental Transformation. 

While the US market one is an $80k toy for trophy wives...

I live in a very affluent area.  I'm not bragging as it was more rural when I bought the property 21 years ago, so has morphed into McMansion yuppie land since.  Porsche Cayennes, Range Rover/Land Rovers, large Lexus SUV's, etc are the norm for good looking, youngish wives wearing tight jeans and high heels.  But, you're correct the Toyota Land Cruiser and Sequoia is right up there. 

I have an older two door, manual transmission Jeep Wrangler TJ that is now more a weekend vehicle for me.  It has largely become an anachronism which is fine by me.  You can't get a simple, no frills, manual tranny vehicle without multi function displays and all kinds of extras.  Just doesn't exist anymore.  I'd love for Toyota to make an actual FJ40 again.  (rant over)

Millennial #1:  Is that a Lug Wrench?

Millennial #2:  long pause...…...Maybe?

For me the hypocrisy and Double Standard are a huge part of the problem.

Remember actress Roseanne Barr and how she was booted from her very own show because of controversial comments she made the VERY same day she made them? Why the long delay on booting this individual?

Again, it comes back to the double standard employed by folks on the left. They don’t want to get rid of one of their own because they feel they need as many left-wing voices out there as possible, so they’re willing to overlook violations of their own principles by fellow members of their little club.

And, truth be told, the Democratic Party has become a haven for hatred against Jews and the nation of Israel. Just look at folks like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and others.
It’s time for the left, if they want to be taken seriously, to actually live by the principles they espouse.

A few weeks or so ago I saw the editor of the NYT say that since the Trump Russia narrative unexpectedly failed, that they would move to a new strategy of "Trump is Racist" now.  So, why is it the job of the NYT to try to bring down a President, and make sure he is not re-elected?  I thought they were a "news" organization?

I wonder how fast the left will support the military when they realize it is a large welfare system. Get married and have kids you can't support and a place to live you can't afford on your regular paycheck? We'll give you more money!

A big problem today is female soldiers, sailors, airpersons, and marines PURPOSELY getting pregnant to avoid a cruise or deployment whether they are married or not.  Instant welfare. 

DA Rollins has essentially said that she will not prosecute misdemeanors, theft less than $700 or other "low level"  "non-violent" crimes because too many " poor people and black and brown people" are being locked up.   This policy should take about 2 or 3 years to bear the fruit it has sown.

The poor, black and brown people are being locked up because they COMMIT CRIME.  Often non-violent offenders have committed or will commit violent offenses.  Unreal.  She needs to lose her job.  Wow.  Racism is alive an well. 

This pack of lunatics also banned e-cigarettes this year.

I guess they don’t care about harm reduction and don’t mind if e-smokers go back to regular tobacco. Does anyone really think this will stop teenagers from getting hold of nicotine products?

But these same people and ones like them PROMOTE the smoking of Marijuana, and legalize it. 

I lived in SF for a while, and back then it was still a nice city.  Yes lots of whackos, gays, etc., but you could still enjoy it.  I haven't been back in a while but from everything that's going on it sounds like a shithole. 

The looney left is as anti-American as it gets and the Tech Industry/Silicon Valley enables this crap.
