00:31 DaemonFC; She gave birth? You mean the Democrats didn't drive her down to the murder center to have the baby vivisected and sucked out?

00:31 DaemonFC; Wow. They missed one.

00:31 DaemonFC; This is so unlike them.

00:32 DaemonFC; Other than men who cut their dicks off and wear lipstick, I think murdering babies is the second favorite Democrat hobby.

00:33 DaemonFC; The third is probably helping drug cartels, sex traffickers, and the Catholic church smuggle in terrorists and welfare mooches from other countries.

00:33 MinceR; is that what you read on fox noise today?

00:34 DaemonFC; The fourth is raising taxes again and again promising the budget will balance, then immediately passing twice the taxes in new spending and taking on more loans at 12% to pay for it.

00:34 DaemonFC; :)

00:34 DaemonFC; 12% interest is what the State has to pay to borrow money it doesn't have.

00:35 DaemonFC; So now Pritzker is proposing another $20 per taxpayer income tax hike. While it may not sound like much, you have to consider that it's only about 1/5th of the new taxes he's proposing this time around, and he does this every couple years.

00:35 DaemonFC; Their goal is to take it from you in so many places you can't possibly escape them all, and it doesn't get reported on as much.

00:36 DaemonFC; The goal of the Democrats is that every taxpayer should have to take on a second full time job just to pay for the government, which gives it to illegals.

00:44 DaemonFC; [18:43] Corporations are robbing their employees more than the government

00:44 DaemonFC; Raising the minimum wage is mostly causing people to lose their jobs.

00:44 arkanian; because corporations are greedy

00:45 DaemonFC; It makes the investment of robots that cook fries and flip burgers and self ordering kiosks more attractive because now you have to pay some shithead who talks on their phone and calls in sick $20 an hour because the Democrats have made everything so expensive that even if they kept the job it wouldn't be a raise.

00:46 arkanian; they need to increase taxes on the rich

00:46 DaemonFC; When the rent goes up 10-15% every year, and the gas tax goes up 4-9% every year, and the groceries get 11% more expensive every year, and the car insurance goes up 27% in a single year.

00:46 DaemonFC; And yet the stupid fucking lying Democrats piss on you and say it's raining (4% inflation when NOTHING is only going up 4%).

00:47 DaemonFC; Someone ought to have them all drawn and quartered in a public spectacle.

00:47 DaemonFC; Then when these fuckers are gone we can call free elections and try again.

00:48 DaemonFC; The French busted out the guillotine over something very like what the Democrats have transformed America into in only the past 30 years or so.

00:48 DaemonFC; Where only like 100 people in the country have most of the money.

00:48 DaemonFC; And everyone else gets to have bum fights with illegal aliens for jobs.

00:48 DaemonFC; Thanks to NAFTA and CAFTA and the WTO.

00:49 DaemonFC; Nobody would have outsourced all the things without the "trade" treaties the Democrats passed.

00:49 DaemonFC; It wouldn't have been affordable to. That was the entire point of the tariffs.

00:49 DaemonFC; Only Trump seems to get that we need the tariffs back. A lot of brutal punishing tariffs until the jobs are here.

00:49 MinceR; i'm sure turning the usa into muscovy will fix all of this

00:50 DaemonFC; You do need exactly what Trump has said he would do about the Chinese building car plants in Mexico to get around tariffs.

00:50 DaemonFC; Put a tariff on those cars that doubles the price of the car.

00:50 *GNUmoon2 has quit (Remote host closed the connection)

00:51 DaemonFC; Trump is the best thing to ever happen for the UAW and now Biden is showing up and taking the credit when GM would be making 100% of their cars in Mexico and China without Trump's threat to rip up NAFTA unless there was a new negotiation.

00:51 DaemonFC; Biden is a typical Democrat that thinks that the government, which is useless dead weight, makes things and boosts the economy.

00:52 *darwin has quit (Quit: Leaving)

00:52 DaemonFC; The government is so stupid, inefficient, and corrupt, that it does things like building highways to nowhere to service factories that wouldn't be there in 5 years.

00:52 DaemonFC; It can't even handle planning things five years ahead.

00:53 DaemonFC; We have a lot of nowhere highways in America because they said gee all those factory workers need an expressway and five years later, the factories were gone.

00:53 DaemonFC; And now you have a dead highway that cost a fortune that hardly anyone uses.

00:53 DaemonFC; Because that's how government plans things.

00:53 MinceR; "Viktor Orban. Did anyone ever hear of him? He's the leader of Turkey."

00:54 DaemonFC; arkanian: There's a freeway that only takes about 4-5 minutes to get to the end from the beginning.

00:54 DaemonFC; They capped it off and left part of it in the 70s.

00:54 DaemonFC; And it's still there and the only thing it's good for is occasionally someone shoots a movie and they can close it off without anyone noticing.

1 AM, April 18

01:00 DaemonFC; I noticed that people on YouTube are still pitching SeaFoam. I don't know why. It's basically pale oil and napthalene.

01:00 DaemonFC; That's okay for cleaning out old two stroke motorboat engines.

01:00 DaemonFC; But not much else.

01:01 DaemonFC; The additives you need in modern cars are things like PEA, now they all come in some form of carrier that burns along with the gasoline, and that's usually 90% of what's in the can.

01:01 DaemonFC; But the rest is usually PIBA and PEA.

01:03 DaemonFC; PIBA isn't appropriate for a gasoline direct injection system which is what the majority of engines in the past few years have.

01:03 DaemonFC; There's really not much you can do about in tank solutions that do anything for those engines.

01:04 DaemonFC; It all just burns right off except PEA. And you need a lot of PEA in the gas just to keep them from fouling up and needing the walnut blasting.

01:04 DaemonFC; They start out like maybe 15% better on gas mileage but they don't stay that way for long.

01:04 DaemonFC; Especially if you're running cheap gasoline that they sell over next to the Walmart.

01:05 DaemonFC; KIA/Hyundai still make a lot of engines that are port injected. But they make really bad engines.

01:05 DaemonFC; They have horrendous quality control problems at the factory on everything that goes into their car.

01:06 DaemonFC; By 60,000 miles the average KIA sounds worse than those Mexicans across the street cutting countertops.

01:06 DaemonFC; It doesn't help that the market for cheap KIAs are the people least likely to do the bare minimum to keep them working.

01:06 DaemonFC; It's almost always teenagers and black people.

01:07 DaemonFC; That's why there's a disproportionate amount of KIAs on YouTube where the engine hasn't had an oil change in so long there's sludge coming up out of the oil fill cap.

01:08 DaemonFC; John gave his Ford that I found him to a "friend" in Chicago. On the "promise" that they would reimburse him for the car payments.

01:08 DaemonFC; They didn't pay him, they used it for Doordash and Uber, and they didn't ever change the motor oil.

01:08 DaemonFC; He got it running the other day but it sounds horrible. You can tell that the engine's completely destroyed inside, and it's a 2019!

01:09 DaemonFC; schestowitz: ^

01:09 DaemonFC; You have to be very gentle on those Ecotec engines. They're the ones "designed in Ireland and built in Mexico" and they're not good engines.

01:10 DaemonFC; If you start skipping oil changes and hotrodding them they're not like the Buick V6. They'll just blow up and goodbye engine. And it won't be long.

01:12 DaemonFC; Nothing ever changes with those cheap little compliance cars.

01:28 DaemonFC; So the cost of medical care for his mother was so high that he was vulnerable to a Mexican cartel offering him some cash to smuggle illegal immigrants.

01:29 DaemonFC; I'm sure the prosecutor will probably let the defense bring up his sick mother in the trial and that travesty of Obamacare causing him to desperately need the $5,000, right?

01:29 DaemonFC; Right!

01:30 DaemonFC; Medical costs have never been this high before in my life.

01:30 DaemonFC; Obamacare not only kept all of the existing problems, it made them so much worse.

01:31 DaemonFC; Even though more people have insurance, that doesn't really matter. If you don't have insurance it costs $400 to see the doctor for 15 minutes now and that's not counting anything they actually do. The $400 is JUST for them to be in the room for 15 minutes.

01:31 DaemonFC; Before Obama, it was like $30-40.

01:32 DaemonFC; So you get insurance, then the cost goes up 1,000% and they barely pay any of it, and now you have insurance. Congratulations, you are being rescued! Please do not resist!

01:32 DaemonFC; MinceR: ^

01:32 DaemonFC; If your only goal is people have expensive insurance that doesn't pay any of their bills, then by that measure it was a success.

02:52 DaemonFC; Taco Bell announced 20% increases to its value menu prices.

02:53 DaemonFC; You know, because of 3.5% inflation.

02:53 DaemonFC; :)

02:53 DaemonFC; arkanian likes to explain how mythbusting obvious lies from the government is a "conspiracy theory".

02:54 DaemonFC; Perhaps can explain how "3.5%" inflation works when everything you have to spend money on is going up at least 2-3 times faster than that.

02:54 DaemonFC; They throw in a bunch of things that are in "deflation" and could only be in "deflation" if we're in the mother of all recessions.

02:54 DaemonFC; Like vacations and rental cars.

02:55 arkanian; stop trolling and get back to tech

02:55 DaemonFC; So because a vacation you're not going to go on because the landlord raised your rent 15% again and $100 gets you about 2 days groceries is down, it drags the average down. Government.

02:56 DaemonFC; So how do they get away with this. Declaring that a vacation you can't afford because Biden put you out of work and doubled the price of everything is down, so inflation is "tame".

02:56 DaemonFC; Because people first stop spending any money on things they want, then they can't even afford what they need.

02:57 DaemonFC; And that's why the electoral vote maps are a sea of Trump.

02:57 DaemonFC; People stopped buying things they want, now they can't afford gas for their car and medical care, and rent.

02:57 DaemonFC; Because the Democrats think that causing a housing crisis while raising taxes is "prosperity".

03:00 DaemonFC; No "small donors" are giving anything to either candidate because Biden has them about a centimeter away from bankruptcy.

03:00 DaemonFC; But they can still vote, and most know who to thank for all this inflation and fighting with illegals for jobs.

03:01 MinceR; "We're an institute in a powerful death penalty."

03:01 DaemonFC; MinceR: Even Texas doesn't carry out the death penalty often or fast enough.

03:01 DaemonFC; But at least they do use it.

03:01 DaemonFC; The shit never finishes hitting the fan because criminals can always fuck and make more.

03:02 DaemonFC; And even if they don't, we're getting all the worst from Venezuela too.

03:03 DaemonFC; Mom worked with a nurse's aide that's on all the welfare programs that exist because every time her boyfriend is out of prison he makes another baby with her and is in prison again before she gives birth.

03:03 DaemonFC; She's had 5 by him and he's missed all of the births because he was locked up.

03:03 DaemonFC; Generations of allowing criminals to breed like this and forcing good people to pay for it gets you trash everywhere.

03:04 DaemonFC; So far just those two have made five future hookers and meth cooks.

03:04 MinceR; "He's like, uh, hopscotch."

03:05 DaemonFC; The Democrats don't know how to do much, but they do know how to cause a wave of business failures and personal bankruptcies.

03:05 DaemonFC; See California.

03:09 DaemonFC; Among some of their "success" stories from the "robust economy".... 73 Wendy's locations went bankrupt yesterday, and 172 more Burger Kings last week.

03:09 DaemonFC; I'm guessing that a lot of the carnage will be in California where they don't even want to exist anymore and are using the process to rip up their leases and flee the state.

03:10 DaemonFC; $20 an hour minimum wage at hundreds and hundreds of empty buildings.

03:10 DaemonFC; LOL

03:10 DaemonFC; Where several thousand people could have kept making $15 at least.

03:11 DaemonFC; The Democrats so love the poor, they make millions more.

03:15 MinceR; after all, they're named after a "search engine" that had to be rebranded 3 times and people had to be paid so that people would use it sometimes

03:15 DaemonFC; I'm mostly into revolvers myself.
