As somebody who has driven that stretch of freeway plenty of times, I’m utterly unsurprised by that level of crap driving.

Also that’s just before a really badly designed interchange (the 405 and 101 in the south valley for those wondering).

I had Biked+Train from Studio City to Venice last Wednesday for an evening meeting. Wife asked me to Uber back. Massive accident right past there. Luckily we we’re only tapped. Half a second sooner we would have been hit by the car that flew across the road and bounced off the wall.

Had one in every car I owned. When i got a car the first things I'd get for it were a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, a Haynes Manual for the model, one of those 40 buck floor jacks, flares, and a tow rope. Possible tool kit optional depending on what I had at the time for tools
Oh, and jumpers

The Hannity Phalanx is getting its semi-annual stress test thanks to Tuck. It got one about 8 months ago when David Hogg led a similar boycott against Laura Ingraham’s advertisers after she said a bunch of really vile things about a group of children who survived being shot at in their classrooms by another kid with an AR-15.

Tuck’s gonna go on a little vacation until the heat dies down and the advertisers return because lol never trust corporations, and he’ll still be on the air this time next year after having weathered even more advertiser boycotts after his live front yard cross burning special and that time he threw a child off the roof of Fox HQ live on air.

Fox will never fire Tucker Carlson, or any other one of its on-air monsters because they are at rock bottom for talent and if Tucker or Hannity go, Fox is dead.

It's extra stupid because the growth in stock prices in the past decade have not gone to salary increases or investments in capital goods and development, but into stock buybacks and stockpiling cash. It would be entirely unsurprising if a story was reported tomorrow that Apple has installed a vault at their headquarters that they call the "Money Bin" stacked floor to ceiling with money that only C-level executives are capable of swimming in.

The "market" has never been more liquid than it is right now.

I don't think Flynn wouldn't accept it. There was a lot of valid speculation when Flynn flipped that he made a deal with Mueller to not go after his son if he co-operated. If he is pardoned, I bet Flynn Jr is swept up the next day.

Flynns son is in with all this Russia bullshit and was implicated in the conspiracy. The only reason he isn't under arrest is that his dad flipped to save him.

If he had kept his mouth shut, then legally it might have squeaked past. But Trump has repeatedly and publicly made statements that he'd grant Flynn a pardon if Flynn didn't provide the FBI information. So, that would make it very bad to grant him a pardon now.

Would that be the campaign manager you hired who was basically the Manchurian Candidate?

Or perhaps your legal fixer that worked for you for a decade and paid hush money to the porn stars you banged?

Or maybe it was General "Mischa" Flynn, who lied repeatedly about the work he did on behalf of foreign governments?

No you see, none of that is true because all the stuff that came out in like trials and confessions and sworn depositions, all that was based on a PHONY DOSSIER! Bow before the technicality! I know it worked in a movie one time!
