War Room Lounge v54: I was there for Kimura-Gracie, solid crowd

[HockeyBjj]

So my morning started out great. I get a few blocks down the road and see that I have a blinking "brake" light that typically only comes on when my electronic parking brake is on. Red blinking dashboard light = I immediately pull over.
I pop the hood and check brake fluid but that's fine. Sensor there seems to be connected still. So I'm sitting in my car pulled over in this neighborhood looking the blinking dashboard light up in the manual and on my phone to see if I'm safe to drive to work or not.

As I'm seeing it's something about my stupid E parking brake not working, I see in my rear view mirror some lady with a "can I speak to the manager" haircut is recording me with her phone. Fuck. I roll down my window to try and tell her that I do live in this area, I'm just having car trouble, sorry for parking kinda in front of this driveway which I didn't realize in my haste looks a little sketchy. But as my window starts rolling down, she guns her car and shoots away with two kids in the back seat.

So I'm probably gonna get a call from the local police today.

...what for exactly?

I'm pretty sure the lady got my liscense plate so that she could report a suspicious vehicle/person in the area.

I didn't know @HockeyBjj was athletic and explosive.

 

[Gregolian]

I am sore as fuck. Stupid deadlifts.

There's a small part of me that would like to start collecting like old WWI or WWII era knives just because the craftsmanship is usually pretty nice and they look cool...

THEN I remember the Swastika would be on like 80% of the collection and I get scared away from doing so.

EDIT:
Don't get me wrong, I find a WWII era Luger with like the Wermacht stamp and shit on it? I'll buy that fucker in a heartbeat.

It's a fucking Luger.



One of the most sought after war prizes of WWII was the Luger and to be able to get one with OG stamps on it and shit? Fffffuuuuu

If I get a sufficiently large bonus my gift to myself this year is going to be a restored British 189- pattern infantry officer's sword.

We have a Breast eagle stamped Walther P-38 in my family. My great uncle got it when he was over there blitzing the fritz in a lancaster bomber. It's like our very own nazi scalp.

The only correct thing to do is make this your new morning routine. Next time you see her just follow her vehicle for a long time.

All he needs is the implication. Like, just drive by and point the finger guns. She'll get it.

If I can get some of my CC debt under control and shit my next gift to myself is paying off my truck in full then a Gen 3 Glock 34.

You didn’t do shit. They will realize that. It’s not a big deal unless you allow it to piss you off. I would’ve smiled and waved at the camera.

Looking like Mark Sanford is going to try and primary Trump.

For anyone unfamiliar Sanford was the Governor of SC and one of the original Freedom Caucus guys.

He disappeared for a week or two after saying he was going on a hike, but it turned out he ran down to Argentina where he was having an affair with some chick.

He survived that scandal and was elected back into the House but after he was critical of Trump he lost close primary in 2018

Shit like this is why Trump will win the Republican Primareeeeeeeeee

This is good news imo. I have no doubt Trump will win the primary but primaries for incumbent presidents tend to weaken the incumbent.

Ted Kennedy went after Carter in 1980 and Pat Buchanon went after HW in 1992. Both lost in the primary but both incumbents also lost in the General.

I like Weld but he's just going to be painted as a RINO. But I think he'll resonate with the college educated white women who supported Trump.

Sanford is a true Tea Party small government guy. He will get the backing of people who like Amash

Let theses guys beat up Trump over the deficit so the Dems can avoid it in the General

House we applied for we got denied. Grumble. Fucking Asians probably decided to rent to some other Chinese family instead of the white Scandinavian and the Samoan looking Asian.

I've been really hoping someone decent would at least try and primary Trump

This does not look like that. Only saving grace is the proponent for spending cuts to balance budgets. Which is nice, but that hammer seems to be all he has in his toolbox.

Oh wow. He literally brought live pigs into the house floor to shit all over it when they (other Republicans) overrode his budget vetos in 2004.

Bill Weld is also running in the primary and there is a decent chance Kasich will try again.

I knew of Weld but didn't know how much steam he'd ever get. I did not know of Kasish. That would be some very good news. Kasich was who I voted for in the the last primary.

He hasn't announced yet but he's been the only big name Republican who consistently rebukes Trump so I think he's going to give it another go.
