Yeah Putin getting into Trump's head so easily by telling him that he is a "Genius" that Trump actually says on the world stage "even Putin says I'm a genius" looks pretty bad. Trump has pretty much the whole world pissed off at him and has the Russians celebrating so if there are people who think that's all good then I guess you got what you wanted.

I guess there was no big stick to the cartels because he needs fentanyl deaths to justify the tariffs and breaking his own trade deals. Disgusting.

The quickest and easiest way to get rich is by being an asshole but that usually catches up with you which is why you get that cycle. I thought Trump was mostly hamming it up for his TV show but that seems to be who he really is. AFAIK Elon Musk was on the verge of bankruptcy when so many of his rockets had failed and when one finally worked, with NASA's help, he had tears in his eyes and said "I love you guys" and now that he is rich again he calls the astronauts "retarded." Back to asshole.

I'm a red seal journeyman auto tech, had my own business, certified home builder as well farming and pretty much a workaholic and would easily be worth 5 to 10 million today (farm land alone is worth 3 million now) and I'm now almost bankrupt because the government can't afford to look after my disabled son but I don't think I am as bitter as you seem to be EOD. And I am not blaming other countries for my problems.

Just wanna give you my respect for being a good dad. Like poker we work with what we're dealt in life and try to make the best of it. But having the love of your son is a treasure no amount of money in this world can compare.

p.s. Love that you also bought a 88 325iS. Mine was cinnabar red with black leather. Sold it after 20 blissful years and been regretting it ever since.

Cheers! yes, mine was the same color but no leather. A good friend of mine in Seattle has it now and it's still on the road!

I guess the silver lining to the trade war/Donald Trump is that Canada is getting some of our doctors and tech people back!

Haha, I wish the tariff debacle will soon get resolved. It's retarded to think creating conflicts when there's none is going to help any of us.

Worse comes to worst, it's 4 years of suffering for all of us, then hopefully the American people come to their senses and vote for a more reasonable replacement. Republican or not, I just hope the next one isn't as ridiculous as this one.

It's great that you can still get news on your old ride. I sold it to a former employee and haven't heard from him in a while.

I remembered the wide grin he had on his face when he drove away in it that day.
