And have to be visibly armed to stop the cops from harassing you for doing so.

Republicans are outraged at anything Biden does. This isn't new.

Fuck off with that nonsense. If you can't see the difference between an actual theocratic fascist party (who makes no attempt to pretend otherwise) and a milquetoast neoliberal party, you're either wilfully ignorant, misinformed, or here to spread disinformation.

So the best God could give you all is a narcissistic, socipathic manchild with a spray tan...? That's a big yikes. These people are delusional.

You could've just done so and moved on, my guy. It's not a profound statement.

C'mon, Tesla. Pontiac had this shit figured out almost 25 years ago with the Aztek. This isn't difficult.

That version is missing the best part, putting on the powdered wig and shouting "Tally Ho, Lads! " as he blasts the rapscallions apart with the stair-mounted cannon

A 1940s era Sterling Siren Model "F" factory siren. This siren spent decades outside of a Long Island, NY firehouse, acting as a street clearing siren to allow fire engines to exit the station unimpeded during an emergency. It was decommissioned a few years ago and popped up on eBay, and I was able to get ahold of it for cheap as the seller didn't know its worth. Model F sirens are very hard to find, as they haven't been made since the 1960s, and the need for street clearing and fire sirens have lessened with the advent of pagers. I believe there are less than a dozen left in service across North America.

Mine is in very good running shape, despite its age. I lubricated the bearings recently (brass sleeve bearings) and let the motor break in. It isn't quite as loud as my Federal Sign & Signal Model "L" (built in the 1960s) but still packs a punch. I usually set them off with the city sirens every Monday. It does need cosmetic restoration, as the paint is badly weathered and the projector has some dents in it, but it won't be hard to fix up.

My Model L is on the left, and my Model F is on the right.

Quit calling them settlers. They're invaders, and should be treated as such.

Christians, this is the way. Jesus would be proud.

I knew from reading the headline that Hexbear's horde of mouthbreathers would show up to brigade and spread their propaganda. Sure enough, here we are

Edit: You guys really are just proving my point lmao
