Expiration dates are a Republican construct.

  1. The R’s get 28% of their campaign contributions from pharma.
  2. The Republican police state will use their tactical bloated para military police to arrest you at prescription drug return centers. And track you if you don’t wear a tinfoil hat.
  3. They only reduce in potency by 1% every millennial.

Maybe it’s because I’m originally from a metropolitan shithole and well-versed in the ways of insane drivers, but I’m not really noticing a lot of unhinged driving on I89. I occasionally come across a sassy driver, but it’s usually tame stuff that I can safely roll my eyes at. I usually stick to roads for my morning commute, but I do take I89 in the evening to get home faster and on the weekends to get away from the Burlington area.

Is there a particular time and a different part of the route I should be avoiding?

I kinda figured. To me, "wokeness" is more tolerable than the repulsive behavior I see from GOP members, but I guess that's just a matter of opinion.

Right there with ya as far as independents go. Two party system ain't working. I mean really we just need good candidates, I don't give a shit what party they affiliate with.

Sure, that's what they DO say, but is it real?

Whatever your views of their politics, that is your view which you are as entitled to hold as they are theirs. What they have never done is instigate violence against others or a violent, riotous coup on 01/06/21 that that almost succeeded.

I can and do and will always work with and around others with who I have some fundamental disagreements. One of the hard lines I draw is at violence in favor of democracy.

So, the GOP would say "the squald". What would you say?

They very rarely do anything if they don’t see it first hand. They barely showed up at my house after I got broken into. It took them four hours to come. And if you think they got someone at the ready to go pull someone over because they’re driving like an ass during rush hour, you haven’t been around here very long.

You are wrong. Maybe In a place like Rutland where people are uncivilized they automatically revert to some antiquated rule akin to burning witches because ducks float or something like that but in the rest of the world, that is not the case. In fact in The rest of non Rutland Vermont you are considered the victim of road rage and the person who intentionally caused an accident can be charged with reckless driving.

Please, explain how a person charged with reckless driving, accident resulting is not at fault?
