Trump is the greatest president. Greater than Reagan. Greater than Roosevelt.

Maybe not as great as George Washington but seriously no one is as great as George Washington.

No other president has taken on the task of saving American CULTURE, ECONOMY, GOVERNMENT, MILITARY simultaneously. It is a near impossible herculean feat reserved only for gods.

Trump is easily the best president in my life time. That's not hard consider the competition: HW, Bill, Dubya, Obama, Biden.

Probably the best president since Ike. Not sure if on par with Teddy.

Bill

Anybody hear him speak at the Oklahoma City bombing memorial recently? He sounds like he's on death's door.

He's looked like he's on death's door since 2016.

This is inflation to the moon scenario

Can hardly wait for a tank of gas to cost 20 Gippers on account of unchecked sheboonery.

Wardriving? You mean driving around with kismet and looking for wireless networks?

I'm gonna get to that later tonight, but I'm busy taping MST3k first. Sci-Fi Channel has funded THREE seasons!

I think Trump is the best president since Calvin Coolidge. Coolidge always gets slept on, which is pretty fitting tbh.

 

[The Ugly One]

their entire argument for why the abortion bans are so bad in Texas is literally dozens of people, most of whom are niggers or illegals (A)

Besides, the only thing you can do to get places like Pro Publica to stop cherry picking data to make you look like a shithole is elect Democrats. It's literally the only thing you can do. You can't be moderate enough as a Republican to get the media to stop attacking you. You just have to elect Democrats.

Loathe as I am to admit it, the fact that he shook the fuck out of the Government when for years, the Government absolutely needed it (and the American public absolutely knew that) should put him higher on a lot of lists.

But to a lot of people "less Government = fascism".

I dont have an overly large amount of kind things to say about the Chinese as a people but I will tell you one thing, from my time reading thier history I can give them the distinctions of being the people, tied with the Russians, for being able to handle more pain, suffering and out right unfairness with nothing but stoic duty to their family and the state. We are picking a battle of attrition with a poor opponent if we wish to win unilaterally.

The Chinese people you read about from history are in Taiwan. After decades of eliminating their own history, I find it hard to go along with this train of logic.

 

[Not Really Here]

What China Imports is irrelevant.

Without its food, and fuel imports, they starve to death in the dark.

Not related to anything recent in particular, just wanted to say that assume every headline is sensational bullshit unless proven otherwise.

That's just the media, they've always done that. Hurst ran 'news' campaigns about how dangerous weed was, but somehow left out the bad part; hemp paper was making the Hurst family timberlands line go down.

Presume everyone is wrong at all times.

Nobody with the capacity to tap undersea cables and infiltrate an ISP gives a singular fuck

This is the part where you show you don't know what you're talking about. Tapping undersea fiber is so 1972. Google literally has boxes under the streets with their own optical switches. Globalist concerns the same as T-Mobile own much of the undersea transatlantic bandwidth and infrastructure outright.

These days they buy abstraction and downstream products of professional telemetry collected by Android or Microsoft or Apple or the POP by legal mandate to the ISP.

That is to say, nobody's hacking, they are data broker customers. The people who are hacking are edge cases and in many cases edgelords.

Money just grows on trees right?View attachment 7262698

I recent hobby I've taken up is reading the current pile of young adult science fiction and fantasy on Kindle Unlimited. It's provided me some very fascinating insight into how these people think. For example, one of the "heroes" (Mary sues) of a story i recently read solved poverty in the city, by guess this, just making more farms and giving them to the poor people! And everyone clapped and all was perfect!

When these people come up with retarded ideas like this, it never once occurs to them that the reason nobody has done their brilliant plan before is because it's retarded and won't work. They genuinely believe they are first people to come up with the fool proof scheme to solve all the issues in society.

I find it funny that MSNBC focuses their discussions on what's not likely to happen but are afraid it will definitely happen, instead of what's actually happening.

You should see the people who are getting their info from this type of media environment. Some things that are going to happen, according to acquaintances on social media:


"RFK Jr. is going to put me in a camp because I take an SSRI"

"RFK Jr. is making a data base of autistic people. His goons are going to come and snatch me from my house and do experiments on me"

"I had to switch bank accounts because Elon and DOGE had access to my old one"

"I can't sleep because I'm terrified I am going to be deported to El Salvador soon for having a disability"

"We were supposed to travel interstate this summer, but I cancelled the trip because I'm scared that ICE will attack my partner because his mother was Mexican"


None of those are even exaggerations, those are all real fears I've seen expressed. It's amusing to some extent, but at this point I am starting to get angry at what the media is doing to these poor retards.

Sounds like early T.S. Paul, the first few drafts of 'The Federal Witch Series' were; protagonist appears, problem goes away, everybody loves her.

No, it doesn't actually matter and I know he was not found guilty of anything. But it is going to be another round of screeching from leftist media that will be very annoying.
I am just saying that it would have been very easy to pick someone else who does not have such history. Yes, it is not fair, but inviting him is simply dumb. I don't think this will be a major story, just pointing out as an example of how the Trump administration keeps making their own life more difficult for no reason at all

Do you think this is a good idea? Would you have chosen him or someone else?

You sound jelly.

In backwoods hillbilly state news, the League of Women Voters in Arkansas is suing the Arkansas Sec of State Mr. Cole Jester. Praytell, why would they do this? Well, Arkansas dared to fix voter fraud.

Just who are these defenders of "democracy" that are clutching pearls over voting integrity? From their own website:

Empowering Voters.​

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization working to protect and expand voting rights and ensure everyone is represented in our democracy. We empower voters and defend democracy through advocacy, education, and litigation, at the local, state, and national levels.

I got curious and found out how they spend their money (or how their members spend it):

Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor Party	Political Party
McBride, Sarah	Candidate (D-DE01)
Brown, Sherrod	Candidate (D-OHS1)
ActBlue Non-Federal	527
Tester, Jon	Candidate (D-MTS1)
Harris, Kamala	Candidate (D-PRES)
Stanton, Greg	Candidate (D-AZ04)
Democratic Party of Delaware	Political Party
Omar, Ilhan	Candidate (D-MN05)
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Cmte

​

Edited because formatting took a crap. Anyway, you can check the amounts on the site but it's not a lot of money but for nearly two decades, $0 has been donated to Republicans. Non-partisan? Sure Jan.

As an aside because I don't want to derail with abortion talk--not a single state has totally banned abortion. Even the ones with the narrowest exemptions allow for abortion if the mother's life is in jeopardy. But it's spun as total abortion, even though it's inaccurate. Kind of like a non-partisan org that consistently donates to Dems or a Maryland Man who is legally an El Salvador citizen.

Im not talking about some ancient Chinese secret, this is LIVING MEMORY



Mao did Seinfeld levels of fuckery to their very food stability and the people just kinda took it, I dont need to remind ya what happened to the few that did get "uppity"

 

[I Hate The Disabled]

Yeah. There are a lot of idiots who think farming is simple as just planting seeds in the ground and watering them occasionally. I know for a fact that I would probably end up killing my crops, or damage the soil someway if someone were just to drop me off at a farm to toil on my own.

That's one way to look at the deaths of 30 million people.

would you say you've... ooh, I dunno, "gradually, begun to hate them"?
seems like a sentiment that pops up
