Is that supposed to be better? Because it sounds like it's saying hey don't worry these two dudes successfully found something else besides their considerable personal and political differences to be worth beating the gently caress out of a guy for!

It'll probably be something inane like Rand Paul has a rotting tree tilting dangerously at his neighbors house, and his neighbors like "look I can't come on your property and cut that tree, but it's gonna fall on my house can you like... get it cut down before it does that?" and Rands like "Let the free market decide. Pay me to cut down my own tree:smug:" the guy then looses it and beats the gently caress out of him, who would blame him.

I'm only giddy as gently caress, because not even two months ago, I didn't know poo poo about this and a friend of mine told me what had happened with such fellonious glee.

I'm gonna try to look for someone that wrote up a pretty comprehensive tl;dr version for me in the Germany thread, but the quickest tl;dr I can come up with is: Volkswagen was pretty much the tip of the ice berg, and VW-Daimler-BMW had a massive cartel-tier operation of conspiracy to commit fraud.

My understanding is that it's not just the Germans. Basically everyone selling cars in the US is engaged in similar behavior, and the US just decided to make an example of VW as a warning for everyone to back off and not be quite so blatant because hey, not a US company.

I'm trapped in this exact scenario right now except there's not even a face to go ham on because actual ownership of the property is split 15 ways in intestate estate hell and lol at the leasing management company giving a gently caress while they are content to operate out of a partially collapsed building themselves.

They're between tenants right now I think my best option is to find an unscrupulous backhoe operator to push it onto the other house for beer

The rumor is Mazda tipped US regulators off about VW after spending lots of time trying to figure out why their Skyactiv-d couldn't get close legally

Not that Mazda may not have tipped someone off, but that whole case was broken by a group of researchers at WVU.

If THE KENTUCKY LEAF WAR isn't your thing, Republicans hosed up the math on their House bill, as it stands right now. The House bill literally can't pass the Senate due to increasing the deficit too much, so the Senate will have to find roughly $2.6T in revenue to make it passable.

Holy gently caress someone elsewhere immediately was like "I bet that poo poo was over easements" as soon as the news broke.

For real though that guy that beat the poo poo out of Rand Paul has a good shot at winning in the court of chud public opinion if he fires that "most people would find trivial" wiener right now and brings on a good libertarian koolaid drinker. Someone who speaks the language and can really highlight how the good doctor was boldly defending his sacred property rights from the tyranny of a state actor.

Can't let the black man do anything, ever, at any time because it would expand the deficit and bring our country to ruin when his Chinese pals buy the country in a hostile foreign take over. We're the party of fiscal responsibility, you see.

The fix for this will that the Air Force enters everyone who has ever had an Article 128 (assault) conviction in the prohibited possessor database.
