What we really need is a space version of that shark from James and the Giant Peach, where it just automatically gobbles up asteroids for processing. Hopefully it doesn't develop a taste for smaller space craft...

Come on, we're America, dream bigger. There's lots of uninhabitable planets out there just sitting around doing fuck all. Let's not settle for asteroids, the table scraps of space. Let's put those worthless empty planets to use and get crackn'

Hardcore lefties are sooooo desperate to have a Biden moment that they'll see a normal ass old man walk and claim "LOOK! LOOK! HE'S UNFIT FOR OFFICE!"
It's a phenomenon that I don't personally understand. Like how can you believe a man who had the energy and health to be on TV live almost everyday this week is also somehow frail and enfeebled. It's baffling.
 
The further context being that they took a fucking meme directly quoting the president and interpreted it as a threat? Fucking lmao, what an asspull. Some dude got arrested for posting a milquetoast opinion and is being held captive for millions of dollars, with the meme being intentionally misinterpreted to justify the arrest.
People were arrested and imprisoned for praying in front of an abortion clinic.

White women's toxic empathy has been a disaster for the human race. :stress:
Nigger is old, everyone knows it. I hope they have a contingency plan to prevent him from going full Biden.
Ngl I've never seen a man Trump's age with the energy he has. He often looks a little tired these days compared to his first term, because he's older and working like a maniac on all fronts, flying all over the world all the time and whatnot.

I hope he takes time for rest and golf, most of the people I work with are half his age and don't work a tenth as hard. Because it would kill them. I couldn't do his schedule, be babbling due to lack of sleep within the first 48 hours.

Most people in Trump's position would have retired years ago to sit on a yacht with their supermodel wife and grandkids running around. Unlike Biden and Obama (guys who mysteriously acquired the cash to buy $12m houses from their career in "public service") the presidency isn't a money making scheme for Trump, he's lost money by going into politics. He's giving up a lot for America. Say thank you. :hulk:🇺🇸

Trump announces new 100% sanctions on all goods from China from Nov. 1st on top of all current tariffs
The U.S. will also impose export controls “on any and all critical software”
View attachment 8021936
There’s a reason why Trump picked November 1st as the effective date. Last time the tariffs on China were over 100%, US-China trade dropped to near zero and millions of Chinese factory workers were laid off. The CCP can’t let that happen again and they will drop their rare earth export ban before Trump’s tariffs take effect.
 
I wish for the day everything is produced in America and the West again. I'm so fucking tired of buying chinkshit items with shitty quality control and obvious defects.
Imagine buying a new computer monitor or graphics card that was completely made in AMERICA, not assembled in America!

Damn a fully american graphics card? That'd be 67k well spent!
 
As an ageing Gen-Xer I have never understood why we cozied up to the ChiCom horde. To me it makes as little sense as if we'd set up a Most Favored Nation trade status with the USSR and started buying their cars, clothes, and transistor radios.
Money. There was a probably mostly forgotten little scandal during the Clinton years that involved large sums of money flowing to the Clintons and Algore using Buddhist monks as intermediaries. Something like that, basically the Chinese gave slick Willie money and they got MFN status and the occasional "crashed" satellite full of electronics to reverse engineer.
 
I swear some of you never talk to blacks. The African American is still American. Haitians are fucking cannibals that got walled off by the other tribe on their own island because they were very, very retarded. They don't know English, violence is common, hell, they don't even have culture. A black guy can at least cook like Benjamin Sisko when he puts his mind to it. There is nothing worthwhile to eat on that blasted rock known as Haiti. They can't even cook right.
The term 'African American' really needs to take a hike. You're either American or you're african, choose one and make proper arrangements. Certain people will gladly say this about Israelis or any other country trying to be a hyphen American but we keep willingly hyphenating every black American by teaching them "no you're not just an American like everybody else, you are an African American." even though the vast majority of them were never even African citizens to begin with. At least Israeli Americans are literally dual citizens, not that dual citizenship is defendable, but they are actually dual citizens. Black people are just pretending that they are dual citizens so they can ensure that they will be divided from other Americans. It's bullshit.
 
>All people and all children are equal.
sure jan.

Its pretty evident with "diversity is our greatest strength", not all people are equal. I think everyone should have equal opportunity. But some groups of people will need to work harder to be on even footing with whites.

All i’m asking for is good worksmanship. I love Made in America, but how come we can’t get anything that isn’t made in fucking Mexico or China?? Made in Italy, Germany, Japan, hell even Korea. I would love anywhere but communist shithole China. It makes me seethe so hard. You literally have to go out of your way to find anything that isn’t made there. Something needs to change.

It's a countdown timer. China cannot take much more economic damage. They fucking can't. If they think they can, they are retarded and will have riots in the streets as the housing bubble over there actually collapses and cannot be fixed

Nixon's going to China while China is still giving artillery shells, missiles, and fighter jets to Vietnam so Vietnam can murder American boys in the winding down war there was absolute lunacy, and don't even get me started on the buttfucking that Taiwan has gotten. I'm sick to death of having watched every president kowtow to the PRC because "hEy At LeAsT tHeY wErEnT ThE sOvIeTs" no they're fucking worse because we didn't build factories to create sensitive electronics in the USSR. We did, in China, and guess what, copies of same have modernized Iranian, North Korean, and even less savory countries' military apparatuses.

The USSR was motivated by a political ideology of "Everybody! Let's SOVIET!" and on the face of it they had to know that was never going to win. They went from Hapsburg adjacent swampy plains with delusions of grandeur to totalitarian superpower to second world has-beens in the space of 75 years. Do they suck now? Unquestionably, but that's another discussion entirely.

But the Chinese? The Chinese are hellbent on consuming the fucking planet like locusts. Their Manifest Destiny is "Everyone is subservient to us by 2100, regardless of what government we have". They are an actual bughive. The world's biggest mistake post WW2 can be argued but I'd say one of them was not letting that country collapse into a bunch of competing Asian backwaters. The world would be far, FAR better off.
One of the reasons Nixon went to China in 1972 was to apparently create diplomatic pressure to resolve the Vietnam War which did ultimately happen next year (as far as American involvement goes). I suppose that the PRC was underestimated at the time as a potential rival in the future.

As for the USSR, if they knew they were going to ultimately lose why did they do things like invade Czechoslovakia a few years before the United States President's trip to China and go to Afghanistan in 1979?

What makes it even worse is that stereotypical American brands are all outsourcing the production of their goods to sweatshops in China. When I buy namebrand American products, I want them made in America with high quality craftsmanship!

China has been an enemy of the west at every point in history.
We should have never traded with them or allowed them to infiltrate or economy and ruin our heavy industry with sub-standard cheap trash products.

Tariffs? Fuck that. Total embargo.
That we needed Trump for the US to make the right step into slapping down Communist China is a real downer. I hate the clown, but the policies are good this time around.
And also do the same to India.
 
So, trumpfags, what's it like now being a bitch to Qatar and having their military bases set right on our country? You all still feel like you're "America First?"

African American was pushed to replace the terms "Black American" and "Afro American" in the 1980s. It was meant to give descendants of American slaves, and other American Blacks who lived through the slavery era, a heritage and a cultural base. Apparently Jesse Jackson had to do with its adoption into the mainstream. By its very nature, it also reeks of pan-Africanism.

It's so people don't have to say negro or nigger. It is just a name. Again, you guys do not leave the house much or talk to the darkies much. They're just people.
