Cowboy my ass. He owns a truck repair business that he started with a $530,000 loan from the SBA. You. know, from the government he hates so much.

He is not a cowboy. He owns a truck repair company. Heā€™s a small business owner ā€“ the kind that will go belly up if he has to pay his employees a living wage and will be hurt by any number of state and federal laws that intend to ensure that worker safety is protected, that taxes are paid, and that his business is in compliance with all the other inconvenient laws and rules he doesnā€™t like. That kind of butthurt leads to him feeling bad about himself if he isnā€™t allowed to dress in the superhero costume of his choosing.

:laughing:

Heā€™s a little kid = he canā€™t be a cowboy without the outfit. I shouldnā€™t laugh at him I guess but itā€™s all about the part he is playing in his own life.

So, this Bundy asshole thinks heā€™s living under a tyrannical government, yet gets granted a fair trial and his big request is that he be allowed to wear a cowboy costume to trial?

Thatā€™s really all you need to know about where these fake revolutionaries really stand on how committed they are to their own game of pretend.

Iā€™m all for the costumes! Can the court also consist of a provincial Governor set up in a saloon while a professional hangman builds a gallows outside with hand tools?

I canā€™t stop hearing in my head the Smothers Brothers ā€œI see by your outfit that you are a cowboy, if I had an outfit I could be a cowboy, tooā€¦ā€

He is a failed rancher,and businessman who is trying to blame the government for the fact that he is a fuckup. I think they call them yahoos.

OK hate to do a TV anecdote but once on ā€œCheersā€ Sam was helping Rebecca by filling in as a bartender at a fancy party she had organized. Heā€™s chatting up this attractive rich woman and says in passing, ā€œYou probably think Iā€™m just a bartender.ā€ So she says ā€œWhat do you think you are?ā€ I think thatā€™s the kind of ā€œcowboyā€ Ammon is.

Smothers Brothers disagree. Hereā€™s a version of their ā€œStreets Of Laredoā€

As I was walking the streets of Laredo
etc etc

I spied a young cowboy all dressed in white leather
All dressed in white leather as fresh as the dew
et etc

I said: I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy.
He said: I see by your outfit that your a cowboy tooā€¦

We see by our outfits that we are both cowboys,
If you get an outfit you can be a cowboy too.

I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy
You can see by my outfit that Iā€™m a cowboy, too.

You see by our outfits that we are both cowboys
If you get an outfit you can be a cowboy, too.
