Fuck me this is a massive massive optics loss for the left... out of like 50 others this past year... they can't stop fucking it up.

...While I don't actually believe the following, I do like to sometimes entertain the conspiracy theorist part of my brain. The one that believes in a Deus Ex style organization runs all western nations, while politics are a show they put on to manipulate the thoughts of the masses.

The people who run the deep state / uniparty are all super old or dead. So they can't run the world like they used to. They also salted the earth for people who could usurp them after obama won. Because they made a Faustian deal with Hillary so she could become president. So you end up with people like AOC and Jasmine Crockett. They believe the most left leaning shit while being stupid and running their mouths 24/7.
 
BREAKING via CNN

The IRS is making plans to rescind the tax-exempt status of Harvard University which would be an extraordinary step of retaliation as the Trump administration seeks to turn up pressure on the university that has defied its demands to change its hiring and other practices.

I don't fully agree that the Democrats don't represent their original core values. If you look at every Democrat President from Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren all the way to Obama and Biden they are usually very consistent, the only difference is you had to read between the lines more with some of them. The Democrats were always the party of real racism (not meme racism) and today you have Democrats openly saying we need minorities to do slave labor for pennies or USA will collapse because white people should be expected to have comfy jobs. The Democrats have always been everything they accuse conservatives of being.

The Republican Party is called the GOP, which is short for Grand Old Party, because they’re the older of the two

I imagine the biggest bottleneck is outdated computer systems that can't be easily upgraded/updated, though. Sadly, no reduction int he workforce is going to fix that issue any time soon it's probably one of the biggest obstacles in modernizing the IRS.

they'll have to build an entire second system first, because you cannot make the tax system inaccessible for any real length of time. this would be one of the most costly, long-term changes that the US could undertake, and it would also be a system riddled with problems. look at modernized state welfare systems, they still have those issues and sometimes more, as well as the same problem of laqueesha being the most likely to apply for a government job, and being underqualified to answer fucking phone and click through modern, updated systems somehow.

The party has shapeshifted for almost two centuries at this point to survive, to a point where none of its original principles are intact, and done so extremely successfully.

Oh, their principles have not changed one bit (accrue as much money and power as possible), just their overtures.

Oh. So republicans are LIARS

So apparently in like the 1790’s there was the Democrat-Republican party vs The Federalists, the federalists went extinct, then democrats split off from democrat republicans leaving democrats and republicans, then the republicans were so embarrassed they pretended to break up and be replaced by the whigs, then the whigs lost so bad they pretended to break up and renamed themselves republicans again

But there’s always been two parties and it’s feeling kinda cockameme-y

this was much easier to read, thank you. glad you're not stroking out.

who knows what we're going to end up doing with china by the end of this decade. i don't know if we'll even have a war or not, it's that up in the air, even the prospect of a massive world-encompassing conflict is just a big shoulder-shrug.

If true, this is far less serious than being an MS-13 gang leader.

Doesn't matter. He could be a jaywalker who littered once and I still want his El Salvadoran ass out of my country.

He's not an American citizen. He has no right to be here. Anyone not a citizen is here purely because we let them be here, approval we can revoke at any time. Work Visa? Green Card? Permanent Resident? Doesn't matter, we can revoke every single one of those for a near infinite number of reasons. Worse, he's not even a guest, he's an illegal. Worse still, he's a illegal AND a criminal.

By grace of being an illegal we CAN yeet him at any time. The left takes the fundamentally invalid position that he somehow has the right to be here and thus we should give him a trial and all that nonsense before sending him back home, which they are doing because they know, and are counting on, this process giving them infinite amounts of time to perform lawfare and ultimately prevent the removal of these parasites from our nation. Biden let in what, 20 million? On top of the 10-20 that were already here? We do not have the time and resources to give them all trials.

And we don't have to, because giving them a trial concedes a fundamental error to the left: They do not have the right to be here, so they have nothing they can fight for in court. Illegals do not have any right to be in this country, period. The left wants this in court so they can invent, out of whole cloth, a sovereign right for any person in the world at any time to show up in American and be "owed" access to our country.

Trump needs to not only smack this down, he needs to utterly destroy the premise and scatter this shit to the 4 winds. He needs to crush the sanctuary cities by filling courtrooms and surrounding courthouses with ICE agents. He needs to start arresting people who are intentionally aiding and abetting these criminals and freezing and seizing bank accounts of NGOs performing these schemes.

It funny, cause I'm old enough to remember clothes and fashion BEFORE cheap chinse flash fashion crap became the norm. Sure you really only had two season and you spent more money but everything was higher quality and it lasted a ton longer.

The Chinese word for China is Zhōngguó, which literally means "Central State" or "Middle Kingdom". The "middle" refers to China being the center of the world, and they believe that every other country is inferior to them and should have to pay tribute to them.
Click to expand...
I don't have anything to add to the China discussion but I did want to relay a fun fact about the whole middle kingdom stuff. During the Opium Wars the Daoguang Emperor of the Qing Dynasty ordered his generals to bring the "rebels" to heel becasue as you and others have pointed out they believe other nations are just vassal states

It could be sugar too.

Sugar consumption worldwide skyrocketed like fuck following WW2. Sugar got away with a lot of bullshit through gradfathering of food safety (since it existed since long before any additives) and a huge lobby to make sure people didn't blame it for shit (fat was blamed for obesity and heart attacks, and the Tobaco Lobby literally used techniques the Sugar Lobby came up with.)

Don't most autists have huge sweet tooths?

Look at the stats on race and gestational diabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, autism, and so on.
It is well known blacks for example are at higher risk for most of these.
Add in poverty (guess who is disproportionately in this group) and these problems explode due to shit processed food diet.
Yes chronic health problems are a universal issue in the US but the people most effected more severely lines up with the ethnic groups with higher rates of autism diagnoses.

Wasn't there also a study that the Swedes did showing that Vitamin D3 deficiencies in parents correllated to higher autism rates in children as well? Their African "refugees" kept having autism babies because lack of sunlight. COVID showed that most Americans are D3 deficient, we don't get out in the sun enough any more, and it's a huge part of a functional immune system.
