Supplicium

Can you prove that this is not true? or do we have to wait for 2020 to find out? If you have to wait another year before you can answer that question than how trustworthy or even realistic is your statement that it isn't true? sounds more like hopes and dreams to me.

 

currently:

 

- Polls and surveys concerning the wall show it to be fairly unpopular with most Americans.

 

- in the midterm elections, many politicians that supported the wall were not re-elected

 

- politicians that support the wall have seen their popularity numbers drop even if they managed to hold on to their office post 2018 election.

 

Even if you are willing to ignore one or two factors, I still don't think there is enough there for you to say the wall is popular with the majority of the american people. It's popular with his die hard supporters but those aren't a majority of Americans and it isn't attracting new voters or those on the fence.

 

I am not saying this to speculate on his chances in 2020, politics in general are pretty much a popularity contest and right now the wall isn't politically popular for other politicians to support and expect to get elected, they know it and they are voting that way. If they weren't, it would have passed in congress and we wouldn't be having this discussion.

LOL :dumb:

I dont see the big deal about the wall. We spend so much money on the military this project would be a drop in the bucket. Yes the wall is not a stop all perfect solution but it is better than what is currently in place today. It would be nice to let the caravan of illegal refugees know clearly where the line is with problems if it ever was to happen. It will atleast put some people to work. Build the wall and move on to other issues.

LOL at the polls talk

Oh look, someone else who doesn't understand taxes.

 

 

EDIT: Wait, how in the actual hell does someone who makes $200k~$500k/year (or married $400k~$600k/year) not have a basic understanding of math and how our tax system works? Do you drive a Mercury Cougar?

my only mistake was saying rate and not bracket, relax

Nah, it's because you said "Unfortunately we made more money".

yup lol! sounds just like the EBT people on the 1st on the month.

Everyone's tax rate in this thread is around 13%, mine included. That means you can have your household income go up $15k with no additional money taken out of your checks and still break even. Even in a higher bracket you can go up $10k and still be safe.

my rate is 35% this year :fuckyeah:

check your figures

 

O'Connor spending:

Personal $2.4 Million

DCCC $700,000

DNC; $300,000

Local Dem party: $100,000

Total: $3,500,000

 

Balderson Spending:

Personal: $600,000

RNCC: $1.4M

CLF PAC: $2.7M

Total: $4.7M

by comparison Tiberi spent $1.9M on a race that was so decidedly his that his opponent spent $22,000 just to lose.

 

Balderson spent less personally because the RNC is spending like crazy right now to stem the "blue wave" and at least in ohio it's working. the CLF PAC is Paul Ryan's superPAC and it had no problem spending a lot of money on a seat that could have been seen as a symbolic victory for democrats, because of how long republicans have been squatting in the seat. Honestly I wish Balderson had spent less than O'connor because then it wouldn't be a close race - O'connor would have buried him. As it stands the old adage is true - you have to spend more to win.

Local news had personal spending 500k v 2.25m either way he took a bath. If the ole adage is true then what happened to Hillary v Trump? She crushed him on money raised and spent

LEADERS. They charge by the item.

I liked Leaders and recommended them in a previous thread and got flamed on hard.

Am I reading this right? Did the guy who won post a +1 score?

Yes, The US open is notorious for the winner to finish around even par

I have Defender HD wired models at my place and they work great. They do have a wireless version as well.

I have the 4 cam Defender USA wifi setup. Its super easy to setup and no monthly fee bs.

 

Its pretty shocking to me that this seems to be a novel concept.

its tough for libtards to grasp

Used to go to that station all the time, I guess my suspicions of them not keeping up on the place were right. Shame you had to deal with that, it's shitty. Had my card skimmed at the Speedway just down from there. I'm about ready to move, this is just yet another annoying thing about the area.

Same I live across the street from the Sunoco, I am putting my house up for sale in a month. When I first moved there I left my credit card at the sunoco cashier, didnt realize it for like 5 days and went in there and they had it no problems. So since then I always gave them business even when the fresh market opened I would go to Sunoco.. not anymore..

I have my doubts if this is helpful, but I used to install underground tanks. Some were gas stations. For most all of them we installed monitoring equipment that would measure the amount of gas in the tank, and had a separate float sensor that would tell if there was water in the tank. I think they might have been mandatory to prevent corrosion of the tank. The ones we installed were by a company called Veeder-Root. Ours would print out a receipt tape periodically with the status of the tank. I wonder if you requested to see their records if that would have any effect.

They do have a system like that at this station. Franklin County/Columbus Weights and Measures checked for corrosion everywhere and didnt find it. If the system works as it should then the station blatantly sold bad gas

Rant...

 

So about a month ago, I ran by the Sunoco station on Waggoner rd which is right by my house. Filled up the wifes X3 and got some gas for the mower. $63 worth. By the time I got home the car had a slight miss. I thought "that's weird" but left it alone.

 

In the a.m my wife gets ready to leave for work and comes back in saying her car is shaking and the check engine light is on. She takes my car and I figure Ill mess with it before I leave. I go out and start it up and its barely running. Spitting and sputtering like Ive never heard. I could barely get it to move. So I arrange it in the driveway so that it could be towed. As I do this it clears up just enough that it seems driveable, so I go ahead and drive it into my work. (dealership)

 

I have a friend pull some gas out of it and let is settle in a bottle. It definitely didn't have all gas in it. So we drain the tank and push some fresh gas in it. Runs great now no problems.

 

We determined that the water or whatever settles in the bottom which it did overnight and then when she started it in the morning that it was all water or whatever that caused it to run poorly but once I moved it around it mixed enough to be driveable.

 

So at this point I'm glad its fixed but Id like to at least get my $$ back for the fuel. So I email Sunoco's customer service. (CUSTOMERFIRST is their slogan) They have me call in and give all my info about what happened. They lead me to believe they have a 3rd party company that will call me in a few days to arrange a solution.

 

Almost a week go by and I get a call from the gas distributor. Beck Supplier. They are the distributor and franchise dealer I guess for the owner of the gas station. He lets me know that Franklin County Weights and measures came out 5 days after I pumped my gas and that the gas checked out fine... Well first off, how much gas has been pumped in 5 days at this station is my question? The best he can guess is between a 1000-1500 gallon of gas. So of course everything checked out fine. I tell him my whole story and that I'm certain something was in the gas. He claims to have called the station owner and will get back to me. I told him I'm very easy going and am just looking to get my $63 dollars back..

 

I gave it several more days and never heard back from him. I do eventually get a call from Sunocos claims company "ESIS" who lets me know that Sunoco is NOT responsible for anything related to my situation and that is comes down solely to the distributor and station owner.

 

So I've called and left 2 voicemails to Beck and have yet to receive a call back.

 

I keep going back and forth about just leaving it alone and going about my business because I don't really care about the $$ but the situation just rubs me the wrong way about how 3 companies can pass the buck and no one wants to take responsibility. I could have a $1k bill I'm trying to get paid for but all I'm asking for is $63 f'ing dollars.

 

Anyone been in a similar situation?

 

Thanks for reading.

YOOOO Text mE I had this happen on 4/28 at that SAME Sunoco.

So on 4/28 Saturday morning I filled up a 2017 Audi Q5 with "ultra" complete empty tank. I drove down waggoner about a mile and the car went into limp mode and would not let me go over 10mph. I got it towed to Byers, the immediately knew it was bad gas and drained all 60$ worth of fuel. After settling it was clearly half water. I took my bill and receipts to the gas station. They denied it being possible so I called the Weights and Measures department at 6pm no answer, left a voicemail. They called me at 7am and asked what pump number I was at I said 5 and he sent a crew to test the station, they were there by 8am. All there checks came back good and the gas logs showed they actually tested the gas load before the gas load I filled up with. So the load before and after mine was tested and both came out good. So they could not help me unless other people made reports. They also would not test the gas sample from my car because it was out of their control. If I was you I would have them test your gas straight from your car before it gets drained by the dealer. This along with my report and Im sure there are others now maybe we could win.
