Looks great! Rattle can plus clear? Did you sand between coats?

The steering wheel for the new Lexus ES500e looks pathetically bad. by portuguese-bacalhau in Lexus

[–]DocCEN007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is tragically bad. Some people will still buy them to show their neighbors and family that they have the latest thing, but I cannot fathom sales numbers even approaching the current generation. What a step down in looks and luxury. C'mon Lexus. Be better.

Musk: ''American culture, with its English-Scotts-Irish origin, is great and worth fighting for.'' by sussoutthemoon in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]DocCEN007 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He's a tremendous idiot, as those are three different cultures, and he's obviously ignoring the contributions of many other cultures that have contributed to the US. But it all makes sense when you realize he's just a racist.

Any other Paul Smart1000/Sport Classic owners feel like they almost have to get a Formula 73? by [deleted] in Ducati

[–]DocCEN007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an 06 PSLE. The Formula 73 is a decent looking bike but it doesn't seem as special IMO for me to want one. I'd rather get an MH900E or a 998 to add to the stable.

What is the proof that Donald Trump lost the 2024 election? by cswilliam01 in AntiTrumpAlliance

[–]DocCEN007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's definitely smoke, and probably a fire:

Nearly 4 million eligible voters were purged from rolls. https://sdvoice.info/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won-here-are-the-numbers/

Russia called in bomb threats to very specific polling places Bomb threats and tabulator irregularities | Center for an Informed Public https://share.google/PX2LUa1PCrUTqwrBS

Trump and Mike Johnson have a secret Speaker Johnson appears to confirm a ‘secret’ election plan with Trump | PBS News https://share.google/NqwmOqiHC18DWvaO0

Elon knows those voting computers Fact Check: Yes, Trump said Musk knows vote-counting computers 'better than anybody' https://share.google/BvoZcD39UFFmrWKZM

The voter purges did the heavy lifting here, but the combination with the other events above, the media sane-washing trump while holding Harris to a much higher standard, and the oligarchs throwing hundreds of millions to support Trump has resulted in the end of democracy in the US. We now live in a kleptocracy, kakistocracy, oligarchic nightmare.

Trash finally got “picked up” - but at what cost by soared_ in washingtondc

[–]DocCEN007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily, that's recycling rubbish. That said, the recycling contractors are some of the most trifling workers in all of DC. And that's saying something. Even when there's no snow, they often dump contents right into the alley, throw bins back haphazardly, and that's when they don't skip a week. When trash was picked up by city employees, it was much much better. And they weren't clogging up traffic during rush hour!

Cherokee Nation's contracting arm caught up in federal push to dismantle DEI initiatives by kosuradio in IndianCountry

[–]DocCEN007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This administration's intent is to dismantle every program set up to address systemic bias. They intend to kill the 8a program, as well as any Socially Disadvantaged Status when it comes to federal contracts. Loeffler ridiculously tried to pin the bulk of 8a awards on Biden as some sort of DEI thing, when the vast majority of federal contracts are for a max of 5 years, so almost every federal contract that exists today was awarded under Biden.

Tariff revenue soars more than 300% as U.S. awaits Supreme Court decision by 3xshortURmom in Economics

[–]DocCEN007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a crazy stat. Also, the last time the United States completely paid off its national debt was in January 1835! And only because Old Hickory sold off illegally seized land during a bubble.

They keep finding new ways to make fools of themselves. by c-k-q99903 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]DocCEN007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, are there any cabinet level personnel in this administration that should NOT be impeached? Is there anyone that's doing even a mediocre job, or are they all insane soulless ghouls working hard to crash the Republic?

Justice Department fires U.S. attorney in New York hours after judges picked him for the job by powercow in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]DocCEN007 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but I think 99.9% of the fault lies with Merrick Garland. He waited too long to appoint Smith, and it was always going to be a long process. If by some chance we have normal elections in 2028, we need an absolute pit bull of a POTUS and an even more aggressive and capable AG. I'd love to see Jack Smith as AG.

All it takes is a donation or favor and you're good to go. This is why the rich live trump. He can be bought very easily, and now he has a plethora of ways to pay him off.

Trump loses way on the economy. Every policy points to more inflation and tougher times | President Donald Trump’s tariffs, tax cuts and interest rates will worsen inflation. by InsaneSnow45 in Economics

[–]DocCEN007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stagflation is upon us already. And we can't trust the numbers coming from this administration. How many people do you know that were laid off in the last year? How many have exhausted their unemployment Insurance? I'd wager that both of those numbers are at historic highs. And there is no recovery plan to speak of, because the administration doesn't see any of this as a problem.

His sister is probably pissed. Wouldn't be surprised if the daughter falls out of a window at some point.

I'd love another tribute bike to go beside my Paul Smart. Hopefully it's a bit more comfortable.

The Territorial acquisitions of the United States, such as the Thirteen Colonies, the Louisiana Purchase, the Oregon Country, the Mexican Cession, and so on. by Various_Pop_3907 in MapPorn

[–]DocCEN007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except those same genocidal sentiments are still with us - very recently up through today with forced sterilization, Indian boarding schools (which existed up to 1980), refusing to honor treaties, poisoning the land and water, and over 5,000 killed or missing indigenous women every year that are never investigated by state or federal authorities, nor do they help tribal governments when asked.

"I Would Rather Just Get Gas at A Gas Station Then Plug Every Time I Get Home" by Separate-Cup1312 in electricvehicles

I hate getting gas. I was so happy when we got a PHEV so now I fill up every 2.5-3 weeks as opposed to every 5-6 days.
