I feel kind of bad but not really
So yesterday, I am coming up on an SUV with the to be expected W/support our troops collage on the back bumper....and I felt the urge to give them the finger as I passed (and the driver did see it).
I know it isn't the most constructive thing I could've done, but
quite frankly I am pretty pissed off at these bozos. The very thought that "Fearless Leader" might get his way with SCOTUS after all the turmoil he and his admin have caused is unconscionable.

Thanks for allowing the vent.

6. It's not the SUV bashing, it's antagonistically flipping someone off
Not cool, not necessary.

Is the OP attempting to bait people into saying ReTHUGlican ways are ok?

4. What separates humans from other animals is the ability to resist
urges which are detrimental to one's self. I prefer to remain in the group that can resist the urges that reduce me to the level of those who I find myself in opposition to.

I won't flip someone off for having a W sticker, nor should anyone else. If given the opportunity, I will, and have on many occasions, provide them with facts sufficient to make any thinking human being rethink their support of this administration. Sadly, most of them do not fall into that category.

9. Hehehehe
I hadn't thought of that one.

I do get a laugh every time I go to the car wash though. Those magnets don't survive car washes too well. The office door at the local one has about 500 of those ribbons (ranging from the yellow "Support Our Troops" to pink "Find a Cure"). All fell off in the car wash and are collected at the end of the day :). If someone says they lost a ribbon last time they were there, the place will give them one off the door, but according to the guy I talked to, only one person has ever asked for their ribbon back :)

10. LOL! Well that explains it.
I recently saw an SUV with a Christian fish magnet right over the gas tank cover. I wondered what the hell that was about; thought, maybe, it's the 'water to wine' thing, maybe the guy was praying over his gas tank that a few gallons would miraculously turn into more gallons. :shrug:

Now I know, that likely a Dem moved the magnet! LOL! :rofl:

8. "ability to resist urges". Hmmm, I always thought that
"What separates humans from other animals is our ability to accessorize." Sorry, couldn't resist. (That was a line from Steel Magnolias -- Dolly Parton's character said that, I believe.)
B-)

11. Of course, one of those urges we can resist is the urge to not
accessorize properly.

:evilgrin:

18. Actually, Blue Belle, you are right!
Thanks. I could hear the voice in my head, but got the characters mixed up. I love that movie!

12. Please do something more constructive.
That is so juvenile and makes the left seem ridiculous. The other driver probably thought you were just some whapjob for doing that. S/He probably had no idea why you were doing it.

Not to mention it is incredibly rude. :eyes:
