“Do you want a tampon?” Tim asked, trembling.
“Shut the fuck up,” Amy said as she pulled the black bag over Tim’s head.
“Are you my mommy?” Tim whimpered.
“I have to remove you,” “you aren’t fit to lead Minnesota,” Amy said. “Look at me. Look at me. I’m the Governor now.”
“I can’t, uh, see you,” Tim said.
“You know you’re one of the reasons Donald is President, right?” she asked and then punched him in his fat right kidney. Tim began to weep.
“Kamala!” Tim cried out. “I need you!”
There was a cackle, a distant cackle, and Kamala flew in through an open window on her broom.
“Kamala? I’d know that laugh anywhere,” Tim said, relief flooding his voice.
She cackled again and said, “I’m here, Tim! I rode in on a broom, like in Wicked! People love Wicked and so they will love me now!”
“That’s so brat,” Tim said adoringly.
Amy cackled back at Kamala and crowed, “Minnesota is mine now!” Her potato-witch face was clenched like a fist.
Tim peed a little. His prostate was the size of a peach.
Kamala reached out, fast, like a cobra grabbing a glass of Chardonnay, and snatched the hood from Tim’s head. “He’s mine,” she hissed at Amy.
“You want him?” Amy asked. “You can have him.”
“I’m running for President again and I need him,” Kamala said. “We’re the dream team for America! We will dismantle Trump’s kingdom!”
“I said you can have him,” Amy said. “I’m going to be the next Governor of Minnesota!”
“Yay!” Tim cheered.
A small Somali child wandered into the office and said, “Why is the window open? It’s cold.”
“No, it isn’t,” Kamala said, “you’ve just been brainwashed by the right-wing media to not believe in global warming.”
“Are you my mommy?” the child asked, looking up at Kamala.
“No, I’m not your mother,” Kamala said.
“I’m your mother now,” Amy said, reaching down to pat his egg-shaped head. “Governor Mommy.”
Kamala loudly scoffed.
“Why is this kid even here?” Amy asked as the thin, starving child hunched down and began to gnaw her very expensive shoes.
“This is a licensed daycare,” Tim said proudly.
Kamala nodded, her eyes narrowed in an attempt at erudition.
“We’re open 2pm to 6pm, prime working hours,” Tim said.
Amy backed away from the shoe-gnawing child. “Are you feeding them?” Amy asked, wiping her shoe on the back of Tim’s slacks.
“I get plenty of money to feed them,” Tim said.
“That didn’t really answer the question,” Amy muttered.
Kamala was backing toward her broom.
“I try to build their self-confidence by teaching them to forage,” Tim said.
“Whoa, uh, I…” Kamala began.
“But I feed them!” Tim said defensively. Despite the zip-tie on his wrists, he twisted to his suit pocket and spilled out a handful of tampons. The child grabbed one and began to chew the tampon out of the applicator like a fluffy Push-Up Pop.
“Cotton is very filling, you know,” Tim said.
“To the Jew’s house!” Kamala cried, “I’m coming Josh! I swear I’m not going to set your living room on fire!” She mounted her broom and flew back out the window.
The idea of Amy mommy-domming Tim is giving me a little chubby…

Slayer is too masculine for Timmy, unless you meant Leo Slayer.
The pictures of all three of those women are just awful.
In fairness to Special K, her hair would have looked better if she hadn’t just used her salad comb on it.
I thought zhe was growing pubic hair on zer head.
I’m a bit disappointed it was Kamala and not Buttigieg who came to Tim’s rescue.
Mayor Pete has abused Amy in multiple debates and would have been able to reduce Special K to a blubbering wreck by calling her dumb.
Looking at baby faced Pete, somehow, he looks gayer with the beard.
Amy was chosen due to her utter pliability and ability to just blend in with the wallpaper. The real leaders of Minnesota need this issue to go away.
That was great.
I almost choked on my sandwich at this line:

…Amy asked as the thin, starving child hunched down and began to gnaw her very expensive shoes.
For some reason this makes me twitch.
And whoever said that I jinxed myself talking about how well my truck was running, screw you.
My truck has decided I need a new project and will not let me shift easily anymore.
On the interstate, I downshifted to fourth and couldn’t get it into gear, so I went back to fifth and no luck there either, eventually it let me into fifth and shifted well enough to get home with about a 50% success rate on shifting.
I am going to replace the shift tower and see if that works before I try to rebuild the NV4500 five speed.
I’m assuming this has no shift linkage and the shift lever goes right into the transmission.
Yes, the shift tower has the gear shift attached to it, no linkage.
I don’t think it will fix it, but it might.
If it doesn’t and I have to rebuild it, I would be putting a new shift tower in anyway, so this isn’t any added expense.
Are you sure the clutch is fully disengaging? That’s another thing to check before tearing the transmission apart.
Agree with Sensei on this. A bad clutch master/slave cylinder will cause these symptoms and is far more likely.
If it was the clutch, would it be intermittent?
Also, when I went to park it in the garage, it wouldn’t let me go into 1st, but 2nd worked.
I figure if it was the clutch, it would be all or none.
I will check the mounts, the old girl is up to 378,000 miles, so they probably need replaced anyway.
Per google, “commonly caused by worn detent springs/balls, 4-5 shift rail gate wear, or a loose 5th gear nut,” are common shift problems with the NV4500 (with your exact symptoms).
Did you try to double clutch the trans to see if it is improved? Might be an indication that the syncros are shot.
double clutch the trans
These euphemisms are getting positively disturbing.
He was working the shifter as hard as he could, PM.

I think that name is too close to the Biden one so I’m thinking trademark infringement would be in play.

As long as the gov’t checks keep coming, that’s the important part.
How can it close? It was never opened.
Probably still open on paper
It’s the Quantity Learing Center now.
I am going to replace the shift tower and see if that works before I try to rebuild the NV4500 five speed.
Does it have a hydraulic clutch? Try double-pumping the pedal to see if it helps.
Same thoughts above.
Tried that, also the clutch is only a couple of years old and rev matching doesn’t help, so I don’t think it’s the clutch.
The tranny oil isn’t that old either.
Check for broken engine and transmission mounts.
Is tranny oil the same thing as gender fluid?
No, Jaime, not even close.

https://www.northernnewsnow.com/2026/01/07/shooting-reported-minneapolis-where-feds-are-conducting-an-immigration-crackdown/
ICE agent shoots and kills a woman during the Minneapolis immigration crackdown
Without knowing anything about this particular incident – law enforcement personnel should not be firing at moving vehicles, ever.
– You’re not going to stop a car with small arms fire, in any kind of beneficial time frame. If you’re trying to save your own life, then concentrate on getting the fuck out of the way.
– You’re going to scatter bullets all over the landscape. Remember, the shooter is 100% responsible for where every bullet they fire ends up. That’s true for you and me, and it’s true for cops too.
– You don’t know who else might be in the vehicle that you’re mag-dumping into. If you expect me to believe that you can clearly see into a vehicle that’s trying to run you down, you probably expect me to believe in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus, too.
A federal agent shot and killed a Minneapolis motorist when she allegedly tried to run over law enforcement officers . . .
Not stated that the officer that shot the woman was the intended target of the attack. He could have been trying to stop an attack on others.
Doesn’t matter. Shooting at a moving vehicle with anything smaller than an M72A8 is dumb.
It’s standard operating procedure to empty service pistols into vehicles. After the first few rounds the glass is less of a factor. The sheet metal doesn’t do much even against the first round.
If you’re looking for an ideal answer, you’re looking in the wrong field.
There is a Kentuck Ballistics video in which they do “what caliber is best for stopping a moving vehicle?” in which they of course start with .22LR and work their way up.
Except he killed a F150 with a .380.
M2 .50 cal works pretty good.
the carburated second target survived much more abuse than the modern F-150.
They don’t make them like they used to
Dunno. Seemed to have worked just fine here.
Yes, I know. The standard operating procedure is stupid and dangerous.
Kentucky Ballistics, like most GunTubers, is a pluperfect mouth-breathing retard. That said, anyone can get lucky.
I also have to suspect that while a .380ACP round might have cause the engine to quit eventually, it probably didn’t stop a speeding F-150 in its tracks…
Well, yeah. Hopefully the cops aren’t going to be rolling out M2s anytime soon. I bet that LAWs would produce less collateral damage in their hands.
Through the hood and into the ECM for the fuel injector. Shot placement FTW!
The commie mayor is grandstanding about it right now.
They got their martyr and they’re fucking thrilled about it.
If the government would just stop enforcing the law, nobody would get hurt.
Someone pointed out that there was no local po-po to be seen the whole time. So yes, they were probably ordered to let the rioters do whatever.
A tale of two social medias:
Lol, bluesky is blocking the video now.
Photo from article shows bullet-hole through front window at driver – shooter was clearly directly in-front of vehicle (admittedly could have jumped into path).
https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/2008976692078105028?s=20
Video. It’s far from what I would call “have to shoot” situation given what ES noted above.
OTH, FAFO.
“Footage shows her drive away as an ICE trooper shoots into her car window, causing her car to lose control.” Leaves out a minor detail about there being an ICE agent in front of the car as she was driving away.
Every car in motion under its own power is driving “away” from something. It is also driving toward something else.
*hits bong* true
Yeah, that’s not good at all. The cop pulling the trigger had more than enough time to get clear. The victim’s intention to run down the cop is marginal at best. *AND* the shooter had another cop and a bystander in his background. 100% clown show.
Lots of too-soon hot takes if you ask me. Including from the mayor telling ICE to “get the fuck out”.
I dare that guy to deny they’ve been eagerly anticipating something exactly like this.
That video looks very trigger happy….
Admittedly, the angle I saw wasnt great and starts when she was blocking the street already.
I don’t care. Shoot her again, just to be sure.
Usually they don’t try to open a car door immediately…wonder what the lead up videos will show…
Another angle.
https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/2008982620663902315?s=20
I hate edited videos…
Capital Popo shoots a woman in the face, and he’s a hero, ICE shoots a woman in the face and he’s a murderer?
Exactamundo!
Well, you see, one was an incompetent DEI hire shooting towards his fellow officers at a woman who posed no threat without so much as a verbal warning or command. The other was defending lives while engaged in the actual enforcement of laws.
Lon Horiuchi is a hero, ice agents should be prosecuted.
Team Seal Clap, available for all.
The tranny oil isn’t that old either.
Have you pulled the filler plug and given it the sniff test yet?
Is the clutch slave cylinder inside the bell housing on the input shaft? Another modern feature I fucking hate. I’d take a long hard look at the clutch. Can you bleed it?
Unless you find something obvious when you take the shifter apart…
On a tranny? Eeeew.
My brother drives a red Ford F-150. He refers to it as Robert RedFord. He called it a “she” once and I said I thought it’s “Robert RedFord” and he popped the hood and pointed to the transmission dipstick which says “trans fluid”.
The tranny oil isn’t that old either.
Most are late-Millies or early-Zoomers.
Clutch! Way to shift the conversation.
Is tranny oil water-based or silicone?
It’s a two-part fluid that tends to separate as truth will out.

‘How is it possible?’: Berliners demand answers after sabotage causes blackout
Arson attack that left parts of German capital in darkness for days stirs outrage over infrastructure insecurity
Leftwing anarchist militants have claimed responsibility for an arson attack on Saturday that cut the electricity to about 45,000 households, almost 2,000 businesses, four hospitals, 74 care homes, 20 schools and a considerable chunk of the public transport network in south-west Berlin.
It’s MAGA’s fault at the core. I’m certain.
Perhaps because the German police aren’t giving these shitbags the Ulrike Meinhof treatment any more?
So close!
Time to ban the AfD.

But, I don’t see how moving from DC to MSP helps with the matter. Then again, I haven’t looked into the details of the allegations.

Probably that. I’d love for her to run for President. High hilarity.

Is there an American stereotype against Nissan altima?
Nissan Altima Drivers . . . .
Something about the Altima is a corrupting influence on the owner/operator of the vehicle.
Yes.
Nissan itself has a brand issues here and the Altima is a low cost car that is frequently discounted. As a result the two combine to attract owners that don’t treat the cars well and don’t drive well.
Is it the Altima or the Sentra? Or both.
Altimas get all the press.
Low-class version of the X3…
I’ve heard their lending is casual.
The stereotype is that really bad drivers seem to be attracted to Altimas. Sort of like really slow drivers buy Tacomas.
What do the shitbags who refuse to use their blinkers no matter what drive?
If they have $$$ that would be BMW.
Hey!

Altima’s are usually held together with car tape, garbage bag widows, and 3 out of 5 lug nuts per wheel
Wow, I didn’t know that was a thing. The rental car I had for 2 weeks was an Altima. I really liked it, I found it very easy for me to drive. Roomier than my Civic, easy for me to reach the controls, just the right amount of tech. I priced used ones and they are going for $16-18k for ones without a bajillion miles.
I own five Nissans right now. I like them. But I do not own an Altima. We did have one back around 2000, but we traded it in on an Xterra.
The Altima is a mid-size, mid-price sedan that was loaded up with one of the worst CVTs to ever make it to market. So, longevity is a real problem. They start out nice enough, but don’t do well in the long run.
If you decide to go that route the CVT is thing to be concerned about.
They are delicate, but supposedly if you stay on top of them and service them more than recommended they can last.
Apparently, the bad years were from the late 00s to the mid-10s. Nissan changed the recommended service schedule to do fluid changes earlier and more often. This is supposed to help things alot.
The CVTs are supposed to be better starting late-10s. The new service schedule stayed the same. The dealer tells us that we should have no problems in the 2019 Rogue we have because we are very good at getting is serviced. He says we should expect 200K miles without problems.
The used 2013 Versa that I bought is a different situation. It was from the bad years and the previous owners did not do the maintenance (apparently). It is in the shop now getting a new transmission that costs roughly the value of the vehicle itself. That was an interesting decision to make. The dealer does assure us the rest of car is in good shape, so it should last forever for us now.
That is excellent advice, thank you both.
One of the things that sucks in my life for now is that I got $7500 for my Civic from insurance, plus $1500 for hand controls. That car was paid off so we don’t want another payment. Which means no decent car until we file taxes or the lawsuit is finished.
The Altima was roomier because it’s Honda equivalent is an Accord.
That sucks, especially when it was paid off.
Went through the same thing when my wife’s Corolla got totalled by an idiot turning left.
I had put new struts all the way round and had kept up on oil changes and everything, little car was perfect, but because it had 210,000 miles, they gave me $3500 for it.
@ron, yep. It was a 2014, it had over 200,000 miles on it, but I did take good care of it. The tires weren’t too old either. I appealed, but they wouldn’t budge. They did count it as 1 year newer in their valuation, but that didn’t make a big difference. If you do a search that’s the going rate.
@CPA I really should consider an Accord.

Mojeaux – OT – looking at your X post about men reading romance.
I will read Japanese language romance because it’s a great way to learn more natural language compared to other genres. I also found that I enjoy the stories. And you get to learn a whole new set of tropes…
Oh, I don’t think it was about men reading ROMANCE. It was about men reading any fiction that scolds them for not being women.
The callback.. the decayed faux-hipness… it’s beautiful!
So Gen Z Boss in a mini…
Regarding Nissan, the are assumed to be in a second tier for quality and reliability after Toyota and Honda. Their good vehicles but not as good and the big 2.
Nissan is in financial straights because they basically stopped innovating 5ish years ago and have been putting out the same slop and cashing in on the profits.
Toyota on the other hand has been innovating is now producing vehicles that have major engine and transmission failures. Their reputation is taking a hit.
So, boring, old, stale Nissan technology is starting to look like a pretty good deal to me right now.
I cannot type today.
Don’t feel so bad – I can’t type any day.
Their variable compression engine is a solution in search of a problem with the cost of complexity and reliability.
They finally abandoned the CVT on many models and introduced that in many of their newer models.
I haven’t experienced that technology. I refuse to buy anything with a turbo.
Also they’ve gone to CVTs on most of their vehicles and those have rightfully gotten a reputation as being complete trash. Not fun to drive and very unreliable.
I have a 2017 Versa. 4 banger with a 5 speed manual. Light, quick, and peppy. Very fun to drive.
My wife is driving a 2013 Versa with basically the same engine and a CVT. It is a dog and no fun to drive.
TMITE: Minneapolis driver shot and killed by ICE officer during immigration-related operation, DHS says
Brandon Hewitt, who is new to the neighborhood, said he was getting up around 8:30 a.m. when he heard three gunshots. He then looked outside and said he saw that a vehicle had crashed.
“I’m pretty right-leaning, but seeing this, this is not what you need to do,” he told KARE. “It’s not how to do it. It’s not how we’re supposed to do things around here in America.”
Look! See! Even the right is against this.
“In my opinion, three shots was not nearly enough – people have still been dangerous after being hit multiple times.”
1. Find random “right winger”.
2. Get snap reaction before facts are known.
3. Ride that horse until it keels over.
That being said, who knows?
48 hr rule on this one.
I’m pretty right-leaning, but
I’m a hunter, but…
I generally don’t object to the extrajudicial killing of neo-Proggie agitators and their ilk, but…
(…I would like to see such killings carried out with some degree of professionalism and skill.)
Eh, if he’s from Minneapolis he might not even be lying.
I would say I am pretty solidly right wing, to the point where I would applaud deadly force against rioters, and against fleeing felons, but that video doesn’t look like she was trying to run over the cop, or even like she hit him. It looks like she panicked and tried to flee and a cop was kind of in front of the car but able to get out of the way.
Their variable compression engine is a solution in search of a problem with the cost of complexity and reliability.
I still am completely unable to figure that out. Is it high compression until the turbo spools up? Chasing the perfectly flat torque curve?
I believe that’s correct. It’s done for efficiency and emissions. Side benefit is the contribution to power delivery.
My wife is driving a 2013 Versa with basically the same engine and a CVT. It is a dog and no fun to drive.
Manual swap it. That’s what all the cool kids do (not necessarily on a Versa).
some degree of professionalism and skill
If you seriously considered the backstop you might never pull the trigger. Which might not be such a bad thing.
Relevant to glib interests:

Video of above mentioned shooting:
https://x.com/nicksortor/status/2008973759097733306
Looks like she was just trying to get away but she did hit a cop.
No. The cop very clearly stepped out of the way, and was not hit by the SUV – at that speed, if the cop had been clipped he would have been picking himself up off the ground at the very least.
The other video that Sensei posted shows the same thing from a different angle, and again shows that the car never touched the cop.
Some slowed video seems to show he was hit. No question that she was at a full stop, ICE was engaged, she backed-up and rapidly accelerated with an ICE officer in-front of her car.
“stepped out of the way” is a major down-play of what transpired.
A much clearer angle no doubt.
I’ve watched it from three different angles now. The cop was not hit.
https://x.com/i/status/2009013627765030997
Yup, he was.
https://x.com/GrageDustin/status/2008981539334574294
She was just in a hurry to get back to Missouri.
Can I just go on the record as saying – two things can be possible at once. 1) Cop who shot was out of line and should be prosecuted. And 2) ICE should continue operations and continue deporting illegals.
It seems too often the case – not anyone in particular here – that one needs to twist the facts around a story to place their ‘side’ in holy light, not capable of bad behavior or even mistakes as if that’s somehow related to whether the underlying action is justified.
No, just because a cop was wrong and needs to be held to account, that does not invalidate deporting illegals.
No, just because deporting illegals is right and proper, that doesn’t mean we have to exonerate or find excuses for a cop that acted badly.
Disclaimer: I have no idea if said cop acted improperly, though my default bias is that he probably did. I just don’t get the need to cast your side as saints as if that obviates the need to examine the underlying question that you are truly concerned about.
