If separation of powers brought our country to the brink, what was the value of it? Nobody as well-off as a judge really understands how willing the common man is to see them destroyed.
 
Im not pro war, but I want Israel to attack this time.

The regime is at its weakest in decades. Theres currently a large truckers strike that has spread to oil truckers which means the economy is paralyzed.

Iranians don't want a deal, they want to be free from the clerics. A joint attack can make it happen. I don't trust any deal made by the Iranians anyway, they negotiate in bad faith.
If you let them have a nuke deal they will get stronger and become a larger issue down the road.

Before anyone spergs about 'forever wars', all it would take is an airstrike, no boots on the ground required.
Nah if Iranians wanted to be free from the clerics they wouldn't have them in power.

This is the same neocon or humanitarian interventionist bullshit that got us into the forever wars: "hearts and minds" "welcomed as heroes"

Get the fuck out of here with this. The sooner the Israelis admit they want to nuke Iran, and it has nothing to do with America, the better it'll be for everyone since we won't have retarded attempts to launder their foriegn policy into ours
 
idk how you can even call it 'separation of powers' if the judicial branch can interfere with the other branches willy nilly?
like, i have the impression that it's supposed to be "politicians keep their hands out of court business, and courts keep their hands out of politics" but that's not how it's playing out at all.
 
It irks me more and more each time I go through the airport and have to do the security theater of removing my belt and shoes. X-Ray me and my bag, fine. But some parts of this are purely a humiliation ritual at this point.

But we all clapped and gave them the power.
Clapped, gave them the power, AND called for lynching anyone who dared question it as "anti-American".

... and now we have Shanequa, the 300lb fat ass nigger, smacking her lips and telling us to stand still while she looks at us through our clothes.

What was it? Congress never does its job, the Executive is the most effective yet always changing, and the judicial is the forgotten middle man of society.

A middle man who forgot a part of their fucking job description was to stay in their goddamn lane.

Next time I fly I'm taking all my clothes off so they can see I have nothing to hide. If it doesn't bother me, why should it bother them?
 
My prediction is that when the feds drop the vid of Epstein killing himself it's going to be the most comically obvious AI ever but big tech asslickers will censor anyone pointing out that it's AI.

The only places you'll be able to make fun of how fake it is will be here and maybe like Democratic Underground or something
 
I was wondering how this could possibly happen, and I recently ran across a plausible explanation.

For all their vaunted controls, CCP only has a few points of official contact with citizens before they enter the workforce and start paying taxes. It’s first vaccination for babies, and then entering primary school.

The subnational governments (provinces?) rely on subsidies from the national government for funding, and they get paid for vaccinations and primary school enrolments.

So in the 90s and 2000s, local officials and doctors were padding their budgets by claiming vaccinations and schoolchildren who didn’t exist. And the national government actually wasn’t aware of the scale of the fraud until these nonexistent children “grew up” and were expected to join the workforce starting in the early 2020s- and they just weren’t there. And it turned out to be a LOT of Chinese babies who never existed.

The CCP just stopped publishing a whole bunch of economic numbers over the last few years. You know it’s a sign of a super good economy when you can’t even make up commie lies anymore.
Could I pray that this is also true about india? I'd love it if half their shitskin population was just rather large piles of shit on the street that didn't get cleaned up.
 
Democrat activist Olivia Julianna is now advising Democrats how to win over young men— says Conservative men are pro-choice, pro gay marriage, and pro BLM.

Pro choice? maybe like, frat guys not trying to have kids? otherwise I think most men are pro life, (Keep it in your pants people)
Pro Gay Marriage? (not talking trannies), I think we all agree it's settled law, most people don't care as long as you don't start smooching in front of other people.
Pro BLM? Come on now.
 
The idea of trying to build a solar-based power grid while transitioning to electric cars, which would need to charge at night for the the most part, is just so retarded it leaves me stunned. It's like this passes through people's ears and out their mouths without ever being processed by their brains.
climate doomer death cultists are like children picking out their favorite legos from different sets who then get very upset when those pieces don't form a coherent building or vehicle. they have no understanding of the amount of planning and work that went into making things function the way that they do now
 
We have a term for this. It's called a coup. It's what you see when a civil war starts. A cold civil war, mind you -- no guns, yet, but wait until it warms up and Antifa decides to try and pipe bomb their way into the Marxist Utopia their Gender Studies professors promised them like they did last time -- but a civil war nonetheless.
Arguably, the US has been in a cold civil war since Trump's first term, since that was when the disaffected electorate broke from the Uniparty's plan.
 
Nah if Iranians wanted to be free from the clerics they wouldn't have them in power.
it's not that easy
with modern technology, state governments can keep themselves in power even if they are extremely unpopular

Retard take, there are massive strikes right now in Iran to protest against the government
it's not that easy either, even large strike action is often not representative of the whole population (huge urban/rural divide for example)

I quite obvious that the modern 3 way split of governmental powers doesn't work and hasn't worked for a century now. The Judicial has more power than the Executive or Legislative and it's more secure in it's hold of that power.

There was a value when every single branch of the government was manned by Anglo Saxon Europeans with shared common heritage, interest and faith. Now, everyone doesn't give af.

This is simply not so. The Chinese government has extraordinary contacts with citizens. Censuses are conducted every decade. Every compound has a party cell, every subdistrict in a city has a party, every district, every municipality, all the way up to the top in an unbroken chain of command. This is just the org chart of course, not some all knowing panopticon pyramid thing, but there are many points of official contact. Household registration books (Hukou) are quite serious and being on a hukou determines a lot about your life. There are middle school and high school examinations. There is public transit use and interprovincial transit. The government has extraordinary surveillance all around, owns like half of the country's GDP, and endless amounts of data coming in. It is not a low tech or low effort dictatorship.

China’s fertility rate fell below 2.1 all the way back in 1991, and they want the world to believe they continuously grew for the past 34 years.

In the 2000 and 2010 censuses, both times it was initially reported as 1.1 and revised upward to 1.8/1.9.

Since their “one child policy” is widely fucking known, any number over 1.0 is blatantly illegal in this time frame, lol
There are lots of Chinese children who are not on hukous and struggle with something akin to statelessness. Many families had more than one child, though it was not particularly common. Fines were also imposed if you register your second and third kid, but they amount to taxes. Also, some ethnic minorities were generally exempted from the 1 child policy. The One Child policy was enforced unevenly and in strange ways and adhered to unevenly. It was only with the passing of generations that it became expected to have one kid.
