The official "WTF" thread

^^^^^ The tip of the iceberg. Imagine the hell it is for those of us trapped here.

My wife lived in Oregon several decades ago. Mid state, we took a trip to see the Oregon coast, majestic, we flew into Portland, quickly left :), drove to Astoria and started there. Drove the whole coast down to the Redwoods then back up through Crater Lake to Portland. One of our best road trips. We mainly met travelers/tourist but we did interact with some locals. They were not liberal, the ones we met were Christian conservatives. Very nice, down to earth. My wife seeing how everything has changed sickens her since Oregon is a very beautiful part of the US.
She did say when she lived there that places, services you went to would ask if you were from California, they did not like those from Cali...

Yes, Oregon has a beautiful coast and other wonderful scenic spots. Like most other blue states, it's all run by the liberal whackos concentrated in the big cities. Now smaller cities are getting infected and slowly turning blue. Occasionally one statewide office has a token republican in it, but usually every single statewide elected office is filled by a democrat. The governor has a female husband. Tax money is used to pay for "free" abortions. Illegals are protected. Veterans are living on the street while the illegals get free housing and other benefits. There's a statewide tax on business receipts - not income - that has ruined low margin businesses. Portland has a local income tax, local gas tax, local arts tax, preschool for all tax, transit tax, housing services tax, and a clean energy surtax on large businesses. All used to fund liberal wet dreams. I got out of the Portland area 15 years ago, and now where I escaped to is turning into a liberal haven.
 
We left the big Democrack ran city too, last year. Sad to hear what you are going through. The little town we now live in is flooded with Trump flags, it is a Ranch/Farming county. We may not see it in our life time, or we may, liberals taking over the local offices. A lot of the land is being sold off and not being kept in the families as it has for many generations. Seeing a few California plates, but so far the ones we know of are conservatives fleeing Hell Hole Cali. But investors are buying the Ranches/Farms and chopping them up into 10/20/30 acres for sale. As our present Communist administration is killing the Ranches/Farms and making them harder to run so when they elders are gone, the kids selloff and take the money and run. The future looks real bad...cause once the land is gone, it is hard to get it back.
 
 
Not sure if this is even legal but sure looks dangerous. I know of a guy here in AL that periodically uses his Dodge RAM to pull a 26 foot camping trailer with a small jet ski trailer hitched to the back of the camping trailer with no issues or stops by LEO. But he's pulling 2 trailers, not 3 like in this video. I can just imagine the fish-tailing starting and it would be hard or impossible to stop.....and what happens if you have to brake hard which can definitely happen in even normal traffic? :screwy:

Many, many, many cars are double towed down to Mexico, very common to see them on I59/69 heading South, but Triple Tow, so looking it up, no law against just has to be 65 feet or less in length...
 
This one is pretty easy to see it is AI, they are getting closer though...



Oh carp. If my clone gets hold of my posts and comments on this forum I'm sunk. And so are all of you. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

One of my mom's friends pulled a fifth wheel and his boat behind it. He said the only limit is 60 feet long. He said he is 62 footIMG_20230513_134433251.jpgIMG_20230513_112629895.jpg and got stopped once. The trooper stepped it off but did not pull out his measuring wheel then let him go. I travel 1-10 slot and I see cars pulling several others with nothing but "IN TOW" written on them. Used to see 5 long but now generally only 3 long. Maybe they started getting stopped?

Wow 5 long, I saw 4 long once...
 
I have only seen the three long but most of the time they are also loaded down with parts. They seem to travel in 3-5 group convoys. Both on I-10 and I-20. Would see them as we were travelling in our RV between SC, NOLA, and Houston. I know there is a very large auto auction in SC. I am fairly certain they bring them into Mexico.
 
Was surfing Reddit this morning an ran across this....a grammar bot that jumped in and critiqued a member's post, as below. Good Lord, what's next? I like the reply by one member! :lol:
