communism , political and economic doctrine that aims to replace private property and a profit-based economy with public ownership and communal control of at least the major means of production (e.g., mines, mills, and factories) and the natural resources of a society. 2 years ago the US government owned equity stakes in exactly 0 companies. Now under the trump administration the US govt has partial ownership in 30+ companies. That is the trump administration doing communism. He is seizing control over the means of production. If youre so scared of communism take a look in the mirror at whats going...

Way too much stuff stacked in a stud bay. Really took some thinking and pre fab getting everything to fit without hosing myself.

Finished these up this morning, ready for delivery. Matching bedside end tables to match the dresser I made recently. 110, and USB ports on the ends facing the bed. Crazy how heavy these became.

A joint from a window I’m making for my daughter’s fixer-upper.

If even his own party won't follow him, he's either not leading or is a crappy leader. If he is losing lifelong conservatives (like me), he's either not leading or is a crappy leader. If moderate democrats won't follow him, he's either not leading or is a crappy leader. Post all the statistics you want, post all the accomplishments you want...a "leader" that can't get anyone to follow him either isn't leading or is a crappy leader. I look forward to the day Trump/MAGA are out of American politics. Not because I don't agree with most of what they are...

Trump is really losing me with all this non-sense...to the point I'm almost gone...can he at least try and lead this country without the ego/pettiness? Take the high road once in a while? Keep his mouth shut and let his policies do the talking? Honestly...the constant drama, personal attacks, unnecessary fights...it's getting incredibly difficult to support this guy... And worse? His extremism, pettiness and ego is giving serious momentum to the communist/socialist extremists on the Left...remember folks, extremism breeds extremism...the pendulum has been swinging radically back and forth in America for a long time...and Trump is just accelerating that...America needs...

I think everyone battles with underestimating other’s intelligence and overestimating their own (Dunning-Kruger). Knowing what you don’t know, is as important as, knowing what you do know. The best leaders have the ability to put ego aside and choose the best qualified people for positions. You should want dissenting viewpoints to strengthen your own position, be malleable enough to change your position when it is shown to be flawed. That is what true leadership looks like. It’s having ethics and morality, but showing humility and human decency when incorrect, instead of trying to blame everyone else.

Neither forum is all that interesting to visit anymore. Political shit show or general moto shit show , take your pick . Both have become repetitive . The best forums are old school and bike builds

These are the dangers of connecting our identity to someone else, we're forced to defend them to no end as a matter of defending ourselves. It's a common predatorial tactic. The fact is that Trump is not the blue man dr manhattan and there's no 4d chess. He's just a bitter old guy in diapers that can't stay awake and can't run a casino without going bankrupt. Not to nullify the sentiment of those that fell for his scam, it's just that he's not the one to help those folks realize their wishes. On the plus side, conservatism will be...

Everything in Trump’s life is transactional. Business partnerships, marriages, the presidency. However, unlike a failed business venture, Trump cannot simply file the Iranian conflict for bankruptcy. He assumed Iranian leadership would quickly acquiesce, despite knowledgeable people advising him differently. Trump’s in deeper than he ever imagined, and it’s buried deep inside his melon.

Capacitor blew in my 3 phase converter. Felt like wiring a bomb but she's a runner again. Now I get to nerd out and set parameters on this damn edge bander, then wait as something else decides to shit the bed. Rinse and repeat.

Our small group of friends runs the gamut of, political beliefs, income levels, believers, non believers, dope smokers, bourbon sippers, etc... And none of that comes into play when we're together. The stuff that we poke each other with online, or our group text, in the real world around our campfires, never puts us at odds with each other. So many in here would fit right in with our bunch of goofballs. Unless you didn't keep the fire properly stoked... Edit: Point being, everyone goes home Sunday night, or Monday morning chilled. Right down to the bone.
