  1. Past hour
  2. Yeah, the stupid f*ckers that are in the KY bourbon industry all voted for Trump, and now they are whining about the tariffs destroying their business. F them, they got what they voted for. Same with the whiny-ass Midwestern farmers that voted for Trump. You reap what you sow..
  3. I once read that really, really rich people whose lives and occupations aren't really in the public eye can be understated and drive simpler cars and/or keep them for a long time. Rich people like that also tend to be a lot nicer.
  4. Today
  5. Point on, but it does miss one very important point, this is OLD OUTDATED Thinking by Idiot47 and his administration. Living in the past of Empire building is something the old 1% that are already 1 foot in the grave are trying to hold onto. They think that they can move into a synthetic body based on Moron Musk and his experiments with chips in the brain. The 1% want to live forever and rule for ever and that will not happen. Just as many rich families became broken up and the wealth eventually redistributed, the U.S. is looking at great wealth redistribution over the next decade as these idiots die and their idiot kids who have never learned how to work hard take over the family wealth and believe they were born to rule. Eventually this will pass and smarter people will work to patch things up, but it will never be the way it was before Idiot47 took office as his administration, now the most corrupt in history next to Putin and North Korea and China will attempt to hold on. While I am a wine guy and support PNW wines, I am fine with the south bourbon / whiskey companies failing. They wanted this and deserved to lose it all. Let these companies die and the people who support this criminal approach to humanity die with them.
  6. The Greek farmers are getting down and dirty becoming violent for seemingly less reasons. Not less reasons, for the same reasons americans should be getting down and dirty and almost violent. americans have MORE content to become protesty and rioty than Greek farmers do. https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/protesting-greek-farmers-disrupt-port-operations-nationwide-blockades-persist-2025-12-10/ VOLOS, Greece, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Dozens of Greek farmers disrupted operations at the regional port of Volos on Wednesday as part of a nationwide demonstration to protest delays in farm aid payments and high production costs. Farmers have deployed thousands of tractors and trucks in dozens of blockades for days, disrupting traffic at several junctures along major motorways and intermittently blocking border crossings as they face a shortfall of more than 600 million euros ($698.58 million) in European Union aid and other payments. The delays were prompted by investigations into a corruption scandal in which some farmers, aided by state employees, faked land ownership to qualify for payouts. Ongoing audits have slowed subsequent disbursements Fraud, scandals, theft, lies. Loss of revenue, theft of revenue. CORRUPTION... In Greece... Sound phoquing familiar? And Greeks are fighting this as SOON as fraud, scandals, theft, lies. Loss of revenue, theft of revenue. CORRUPTION was revealed... I guess this was uncovered at about summer time. The usa has been under fraud, scandals, theft, lies. Loss of revenue, theft of revenue. CORRUPTION with trump SINCE 2016... And NOTHING of a push back by americans... From hush monies stolen from republican coffers to silence Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal to outright getting caught with lies about voter fraud and instigating an insurrection to flat out refusing to leave office to stealing classified documents to illegally firing judges and all other governmental employees such as generals and FBI leaders to paying off judges to throw out legal court cases against him to becoming a phoquing felon with 34 or so counts against him of being a bank fraudster to lying about eating the cats and the dogs to allowing the kentucky whiskey industry and soy bean industries go to hell... Where are the soy bean farmers protesting? Twice they got burned by trump. Where are the employees of the whiskey industry protesting? Where are the truckers protesting? They also got burned twice by him? Where are the tourist industry employees? They blame Canadians and view Canadians as the reason for their misery but also view Canadians as their saviours? Why arent THEY protesting in the streets like Greek farmers are doing? I guess I shouldnt be reading too much into it... All is great in the good ole usofa... Phoque the usa is all I have to say!!! Especially when no american is willing to fight for his rights and freedoms...
  7. That is a Royals Royce SUV. DISCOVER CULLINAN SERIES II
  8. No One Got a Check, This country is too broke to afford giving out money to buy their silence. The administration is broke, this country is broke, there is no reason for any of what Idiot47 has done. From the giving away billions to useless defense contractors to paying to continually refurbish out dated military machines like tanks in California's high desert, the military has stated over and over it needs to get lighting fast and the old equipment is dead. So all the tanks, boats, everything that Idiot47 says makes us strong is actually bleeding America dry. 51% for sure of this country is dumber than nails, look around where Biden pushed for battery plants, new technology that would drive jobs and Idiot47 is tearing it down cause living in the 50's and 60's was the golden age for him. Corrupt Dirty Donald to the core.
  9. Yesterday
  10. The black SUV in the last pic is a Rolls Royce Cullinan...definitely a Hollywood bling wagon for people with too much plastic surgery and money...maybe a Kardashian or Kardashian-adjacent. That 80s Riv convertible is sweet as is the silver '62 Impala.
  11. I want to know: Did any american actually get the $1776 cheque that was promised by trump? I want to know: How many dumb phoquing americans ACTUALLY believed they were going to get a $1776 cheque? I want to know: If you actually DID get a cheque promised by trump because of the trillions of dollar that the tariffs have generated...did it come at the expense of another socialist cheque that was supposed to be given to you anyway? I want to you: How many MORE lies are you stupid americans going to fall for BEFORE you actually DO something about it BEFORE it ACTUALLY DOES become too phoquing late to do something about it WITHOUT the use of guns?
  12. Except Jon...NOBODY is fighting for this constitution republic. Lots of words talking about fighting for this constitution republic. But NO actual action... Crickets... Oh wait...clown suits... THIS is how its actually done in countries that are NOT afraid... And look...no guns are used if gun violence is frowned upon... The clown suits have done nothing...and if it was mildly successful...the clown suits have...stopped. Like I keep on saying... CRICKETS...
  13. A compendium of California car chronicling - say that three times real fast ... Entering Topanga Canyon, but still inside an L.A. zip code, was this Beverly Hillbillies type of truck set against the dry vegetation in the foothills and canyons. Hey, come back here! Seen going toward Ventura and Santa Barbara was this vision. I think the convertible works very well with the shapes below the beltline. The notch on the Riv coupe was a little more challenging. If we got to grow up around cars like this, we were very lucky! Seen while getting fuel and donuts was this older Chevy beauty. It's not just me who loves silver and red/burgundy. I don't know if this was true to factory, but it didn't matter. However, it had that simple and durable 283 c.i. V8 and a 2 or 3 speed automatic. I believe it was a 1962 Bel Air per my brief conversation with the owner. Wow ... that's the last-gen Riv and the place I saw it surprised me. That's in South Central L.A. You wouldn't have wanted to go in there when I was a kid. That's a new housing block they built. The other thing is that the 105 Freeway cuts through the base of South Central and you can get on and off easily with its bigger ramps. I saw this 1998 Olds Intrigue and remember how much I wanted one when they were released. It all worked itself out ... some 10 years later! Hollywood Boulevard spotting, practically in front of the famed Chinese Theater ... some older "cherry" Chevy full size coupes and God knows what that black vehicle was.
  14. Im not so sure about that. fox "news" and trump propaganda has played a huuuuge role in deceiving these people. And that level of deception ONLY deceives the weak, stupid and racist. Not in denial. Most of these maga filth are enablers, BECAUSE trump promises acceptance of racism, these vile uneducated human beings are ok in getting phoqued by the oligarchs of the usa BECAUSE the non-white population of the usa is getting phoqued WORSE than they are. Any trump supporter is an ignorant soul. Some trump supporters are racist and enable the corruption BECAUSE trump promises bad things to happen to non-whites. These people are smart enough to understand the 'wink wink' language of trump. But racism is bred by ignorance... They enable the corruption but are too stupid to understand ALL the consequences that pertain to trump's corruption. Jim Beam is closing down its main distillery in Kentucky factory for a year. https://robbreport.com/food-drink/spirits/jim-beam-shutting-down-one-of-its-distilleries-in-1237417543/ https://apnews.com/article/jim-beam-bourbon-distillery-shutdown-kentucky-a8303cd04005a9108ff43690faad421b Tariffs are a beautiful thing... And the idiot americans bought into it. CANADIANS (not Canada...and if you are smart, you will KNOW the difference and the meaning as to why I present it this way...) has boycotted american liquor. Not realizing the consequences of tariffs and ESPECIALLY the insulting 51st state rhetoric. The american idiots BELIEVE the excuses that its not the Canadian boycott that is causing a small down in kentucky booze sales but millennials not drinking because millennials believe drinking=bad... jim beam... 55 million gallons of booze less in sales. Didnt know that millennials NEEDED to drink THAT much of alcohol. SHYTE!!! Boomers and Gen Xers are phoquing alcoholics... Here is another... The CEO of jack daniels said that boycotting Canadians are not a problem because Canadian sales are ONLY 1% of jack daniels sales... Well... https://www.kentucky.com/lexgoeat/bourbon/article313389656.html "Jack Daniel’s parent says profits down 14% for quarter. $59M in losses this year" "Fiscal 2026 outlook is expected to remain challenging, the company said, “with low visibility due to macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility as we face headwinds from consumer uncertainty,” among other factors. Organic net sales and organic operating income are expected to continue to decline for the full year, the company said." Read more at: https://www.kentucky.com/lexgoeat/bourbon/article313389656.html#storylink=cpy 1. The jack daniels ceo laughed and scoffed at Candians boycotting them. A CEO of a big business like the whiskey business and a big company like jack daniels should NEVER laugh at 1% sales losses... 2. Morons believed the LIE that Canada is ONLY 1% of jack daniels sales... 3. The ceo is a MORON himself following trump as he should have known better of the consequences of pissing off an ENTIRE nation... 4. MORE lay offs in the kentucky area in the whisky business... ALL of them maga a$$hol3$!!! Not a sinlge brain cell between ALL of them NOT realizing the consequences and believing the deception of fox "news" and trump's words... YES!!! Do NOT be surprised. THAAAAT many americans are THAAAAAQAQT phoquing stupid. 1. Since the 1960s or at least the 1970s...education has been defunded in your country. 2. Since at least the 1970s, ignorance has been worshipped in your country. And ESPECIALLY the last 15 years. Nah...just their vile bitterness and racism and as long as the non-white folk suffer more than them. The hatred of these uneducated filth is truly a sickening site. So much so, that whatever trump tells them, they will believe it. Canada became an enemy of the usa somehow, and these phoquers licked all that shyte up. Canada has stayed away from visiting your loser country and all the touristy areas in your country are begging Canadians to come back. So much ignorance involved as they do not understand why Canadians are not visiting and will not visit for a very long time. But they did vote for trump knowing he was hell bent on destroying Canada. And in these touristy places KNOW that Canada is what pays there dreams and wishes... But these touristy places ALSO lay blame to Canadians as to why we are NOT visiting and blame us for their financial downfalls... Not too bright as people if you ask me... It does not look like it... This mess you guys have put yourselves in is going to last a while longer. A LOT while longer. Why? There is NO phoquing push back from ANYBODY in your useless country... In Bangladesh...the people are revolting... https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/12/1166642 In Greece...the Greeks revolted when there was a train crash in 2023 that killed many and didnt like the authority's explanations as to why it happened...but as recent as this month... https://freedomnews.org.uk/2025/12/15/farmers-revolt-in-greece/ farmers are revolting... The authorities are threating farmers with criminal intent...yet Greek farmers are revolting... Why? FREEDOMS AND DEMOCRACY AND ALL OF THAT CRAP!!! After more than ten days of nationwide mobilisation, farmers’ protests last week escalated into open confrontation and clashes with riot police. Protesters have faced arrests and upgraded charges, while in Crete authorities are threatening to prosecute farmers under accusations of forming a “criminal organisation.” From the mountains of Macedonia and Epirus to the plains of Thessaly and Aitoloakarnania, and from olive-growing Messinia to tourist-heavy Crete, thousands of low- and lower-middle-income farmers have taken to the roads. National highways have been shut down, cutting key transport routes and effectively splitting the country into parts. Tractor convoys are marching through major towns and cities, border crossings, ports and airports have been occupied for hours, and state institutions have been targeted with militant interventions. The farmers’ movement has moved decisively beyond symbolic protest. In the usa...crickets... There are MANY times where americans could have avoided this mess they find themselves in. We COULD start in January of 2020. crickets.... We could start with the 34 or so felonies he was convicted of but NO sentencing... crickets... We could start with the mar-a-lago court case when trump hoarded all those classified files and the case was not even addressed in court because trump bought himself out of that... crickets... Epstein files... crickets... Yeah...the whole lot of you are stupid and ignorant if you ask me... COWARDS more than anything else as well!!!
  15. Its a beautiful picture. A general and random thought it may be, but the picture itself should be immortalised in here. Thanks for sharing it with us. @trinacriabob
  16. I'll never forget the times I've gone across the pond on BA 747s...or on trips to Hawaii where I walked through the open air concourses and they were parked close by, where I could see them relatively up close and huuuuge...love those bigguns.
  17. I think they knew all along and were in denial. I think that there are a lot of stupid people in our country, but it would surprise me if that many are that stupid. They needed something to pin their hopes on, like some sort of Anti-Christ, or a scapegoat. If anything, it could be the beginning of the ending of a very bad era. One very good sign is when Google Maps will show the inscription Gulf of Mexico ... again. About two weeks ago, the wind blew off a baseball cap I was wearing. That meant I had to grab my U-Dub baseball cap, which is kind of obnoxious, since it's all purple. In no time flat, I found a large variety of Gulf of Mexico baseball caps online and for great prices, so I will be ordering one in about a week. When I was on the ship that sailed out of Tampa in April for that repositioning voyage, there was a human p. o. s. up by the pools talking to someone and wearing a Gulf of America cap. I wanted to say something, but I held back. I thought that tacky people took short cruises to Mexico and the Caribbean, but I guess they cross oceans, too. Money does not buy class. Coincidentally, the perfect example of it is Agent Orange. Merry Christmas to those who celebrated as such or happy holidays. One of the things I will be celebrating with is a new Gulf of Mexico baseball cap.
  18. Good morning ... ... I think I'm dreaming ... That it's (still) so incredible, that I'd like to be on one, and that I'd like to be somewhere warm and/or beautiful. While probably meant for the Airplanes thread, I thought I'd make it a general share
  19. Last week
  20. This is good to see that high school educated people and those with no education at all are waking up to the fact that Idiot47 has been lying the whole time now that life is tough for everyone. Donald Trump’s approval rating flips with least educated Americans
  21. This has gotten to scary now that the Gov of Idiots in DC are no longer even trying to hide what they are doing, just going ahead and stealing Americans DNA to build a database to abuse the citizens. Trump's DNA dragnet: The law that turns us all into suspects
  22. He was my age.
  23. IMPORTANT If any of you have a Texas de Brazil in your area, they are featuring their limited December lunch special: one was held on the 12th, and the other one is held today on the 19th. It's the dinner time Brazilian buffet, minus a few items, but at a special lunch price prior to the holidays. If this interests you, you need to get on it. Boa tarde and happy holidays!
  24. OUCH, but understandable that the tight tolerances are allowing ZERO machining debris The real reason millions of engines are being recalled this year
  25. 500 pound women ... and the 170 pound men who love them ... on the next Oprah
