All Trump has to do is threaten to release all the FBI/DEA/CIA/NSA/State Department files on how the government in Mexico is compromised up to the very top by the cartels. Which everybody already knows is true but acts like it isn't because the shitstorm would be too messy. This time around what does Trump care how big a mess it would cause for the Mexicans? At least that should be what he makes the Mexicans think...

Can't find a source for this screenshot, but it's more just proof of what was said, and what might be done.

Everybody in Mexico already knows the cartels are really in charge and have been forever. There's no leverage with that "secret". The only solution is to kill them all.

Jolly reminder that Trump floated droning the fuck out of tge cartel bigwigs and got told "no, because reasons" by the CIA.

Exact same situation as when he allowed competent people actually deal with HAMAS, and something that would need years to be dealt with suddenly got done in weeks.

I very much look forward to Trump applying what he learned to the cartel problem.

Boxxy was first, and if I remember the Shoe thread, she was in Boxxy fan groups early on.

Have the Dems figured out why they lost yet?

The smarter ones have.

But they are greatly outnumbered by the ones who have zero capacity for self-reflection whatsoever.

Edit: I also like how this pic is technically a democrat mansplaining to a republican woman, going off the colors.

TLDR: "You might want to think about cutting off your family, but if you don't yeah that's ok too I guess."

Honest question, does politics ever come up during Thanksgiving dinner for you guys? Even despite the political divide in my family, politics never comes up during dinner and we usually talk about other things in life such as work, past events, cinema, or anything non political. There's really no reason to bring up politics unless you're a person who wants to start a fight on Thanksgiving.

Ours rebranded to ARIED (pronounced "arid") by adding "Anti-Racism" to DEI.

My family's mostly dead so no. My friend took me with him to his Thanksgiving dinner (I'm a damned Leaf so it's already happened) and it was ALL HIS PARENTS TALKED ABOUT. They watch CNN and CBC News (state media, yay) religiously and think because he's center-right he's going to usher in the Reich. (I thought he invited me out of pity, I only realized later it was for moral support.)

That kind of depends in my case. Since I'll be having dinner with my retired parents, some of their retired neighbors, and my retired aunt, they may mention something related to politics that they read online or saw on the tube.

It's possible to be optimistic about public opinion shifting against DEI while also being skeptical that the institutions that built an entire industry around idpol are just going to take their ball and go home. @Woe-B-Gon (TM) asked some salient questions about Walmart's DEI rollback that illustrate this point.

Not really. When i visited back home last year nobody bothered to talk politics. And we have a lot of liberals in my extended family. We were too busy loving each other and catching up on how we are all doing.
The only reason they bring shit up like that is cult behaviour. The MSM want you to sperg out at your family. But they and a lot of people really overestimate the effectiveness of retards talking about it. It is just what drives clicks online, nobody truly would sperg out on their family's, unless they were prone to do that anyway. Same with the "cut off" talk. The people who say this shit on tik tok and other places have no family anywhere on their profiles already. Check them if you don't believe me. It is just alone posting and cat videos.
All they have in their life is activist politics. It is who they are and who they are defined by.

If Democrats win, my family discusses politics and they celebrate. If Republicans win, my family does not discuss politics and certain family members either do not invite me to their celebrations, or skip the ones where I am present. I used to be more of an asshole about this, but now I do not talk about politics unless a comment is directed towards me. Overall, my immediate family is more interested in catching up with me than the extended family, which is deeper in the liberal mind cult.

In 2016, I was uninvited from everything except gatherings with my mother and father. In 2020, and after January 6th in particular, I had to tolerate quite the verbal abuse. This year, I will wear a shit-eating grin. I don't have to say anything this year because the election result speaks for itself: people like them were dead wrong, and people like me were right.

It does lend itself to such fun things as this

Kind of kills that little pow-wow Kamala was running today with her "grassroots" supporters. She lost the party over a billion dollars and handed Trump a victory so decisive that he's now got the capital to do whatever he wants. The joy's not just gone, it's about to disappear behind a box wine fort somewhere in California.
