The intimidation factor of the Terradyne Gurkha armored kookmobile somewhat offset by the 1968ish Vespa P90 scooter at 0:02 #DavesCarIDService
Go ahead and steal the "Keep Austin Weird" slogan Portland, Austin's weird is sui generis
in fairness, it's probably considered a good look to his supporters
Imagine being Alex Jones's kid, and he shows up in that thing to pick you up after final period at middle school

The "Mongrel T," built in 1966 by George Barris from a 1926ish Model T touring & Ford FE motor for the Elvis movie Easy Come Easy Go, but also doubled as TV's Jokermobile #DavesCarIDService
car still exists, somewhere in the bowels of the Petersen Museum in LA
Here's Elvis at the wheel, along with a few other cars emblematic of George Barris's mid-late 60s WTF period

Big #DavesCarIDService waiting list, so let's get to it: L is a little fuzzy but I'm saying 1936 Buick; R might be same car but bumper seems more 36 Chevy, so inconclusive. A sticker is WW2 gas rationing stamp. Delightful hillbilliness right there.
Duck And Cover! 1953 REO Civil Defense rescue truck, a/k/a a "Calamity Jane." Made during the early days of the Cold War, had stretchers and iodine and such to treat survivors if the Rooskies sent us the Big One
REO stood for Ransom E Olds, of Oldsmobile fame. His buy-out by GM had a non-compete clause forbidding him from using "Olds" in any future car brand. REO was best know for trucks including, yes, REO Speed Wagons. 1953 was pretty much their last gasp.

Now these are the kind of #DavesCarIDService requests I live for. 1933-34 Austin American Bantam sedan, one of the first compact American cars. a lot of them later ended up as bodies on 1960s drag race machines. Amazing pic.
Here's a slightly modified one, as was often seen in AA/FC (top fuel coupe) class in the 60s. Class rules called for enclosed body car, and Bantams were as light a body as you could get. Fiat Topolinos were popular too.
Historic double-Austin car ID today; I peg this as a 1930-ish Austin 10 sedan. Austin was a British car, American Austin Bantams were made in US under license from UK Austin. Later Bantam made the first Jeep prototype.

KEEP PUTTING THEM UP THERE DEMOCRATS.

KEEP THEM TALKING!
My God.

Omar was given the easiest softball question ever. She was asked if she could, like, go ahead and publicly condemn the terrorist group Al Qaeda.

SHE REFUSED TO DO IT.

This is AWESOME.
#AlQaeda is now trending and I think I know why......🤨

Go ahead, tell us who THEY are.
And no, we will never forget - because those foreign intelligence services will eternally deserve our gratitude.
Think about it... we helped them take out Hitler, they're just doing what they can to returning the favor and ensure stability in the world order.

They're doing it for themselves too, yo.

p.4 of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement includes what I like to call the "Liam Fox paragraph": "RECOGNISING that, even if Union law will be applicable to and in the United Kingdom during the transition period, the specificities of the United Kingdom as a State having withdrawn
from the Union mean that it will be important for the United Kingdom to be able to take steps to prepare and establish new international arrangements of its own, including in areas of Union exclusive competence, provided such agreements do not enter into force or apply during
that period, unless so authorised by the Union,"

In other words: "Sure, you can go ahead and try and negotiate new trade agreements to replace all the ones you've just shredded by passing Brexit Day, but they can't actually come into force yet."

Keep saying folks: keep an eye on Deutsche Bank, aka the Global Laundromat for Russian money. Their private banking group lent Trump $300MM when no other banks would give him a dime AND Deutsche Bank lent Kushner $285MM a month before the 2016 election. This is a smoking gun!
I see comments about Justice Kennedy's son and Deutsche Bank. He was in the real estate group. The most recent $300MM+ plus loan came from the private banking group. Highly irregular for PB to lend when RE says no! I don't see a tie-in to his son....yet!
motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Just to be clear: the real estate group would be considered the in-house experts on lending for real estate. If they turn down a loan, it is highly irregular for private banking to then go ahead and lend the money (they are not real estate experts in the same way)>
