Did you know that Los Angeles' mayor was a member of Cuban Communist groups and connected to the Weather Underground terrorist group or that Chicago's mayor is an unironic black supremacist who outright said that he gives jobs to black people just because they're black?

Those are are largest and third largest cities. Why do we hear so much about NYC when it's a backwater to everyone not in the financial industry and nothing about other cities?
media is in NYC so they write NYC
look at MAD or Marvel
He might gain points compared to previous elections
yeah iirc hasn't he run and lost a few times?
 
One or two in-atmosphere test flights are not at all comparable to a hundred booster landings per year.
It's still pretty cool. If the program ends up giving us orbital gas stations then the dream of harnessing the resources of the asteroid belt comes nearer. Just don't look at the refueling point that the feds use for their super secret spacecraft with your internet of things telescope or you'll get a knock on the door.
 
You really think Amazon and Microsoft have never hired engineers to develop new technology? You know, one difference between Bezos and Musk is that Bezos's high-performance microchip actually made it to production.
Oh damn, son, Amazon licensed an ARM chip, somebody call Nobel to hand them a prize for that innovation!

[yawn] I've used Graviton. Not as impressive as it sounds. Performance is "okay." It's still got that classic AWS "sluggish" feel all their EC2, Fargate and Lambda shit seems to have. Ampere's a better bet if you want high performance on ARM in your own data center.

It isn't economically or "geopolitically" significant, and it's not likely it will be, but it being praised/shilled/etc. by the Western right represents a serious defect in /ourguys/ (or a successful op against us).

BRICS has a website full of position papers: the BRICS Policy Center. Most of its releases are available in English. Show of hands if you've read one. Nobody? OK, have any of you ever seen one quoted anywhere, by any of our "nazi" pals? You haven't? Hm.

Well, spoiler for the organization's whole oeuvre: It's so thoroughly "woke," so openly anti-white, Noel Ignatiev should come back from the dead and tell them to calm the fuck down. You couldn't Sokal Hoax that shit into any American academic journal, because it's too stupidly parodic.

BRICS is not an enemy of but a stupid true-believer rival to globohomo.

"What do you think decolonization means?"
I believe the right largely exaggerates its importance for rhetoric.

The radical left's core standing ground has been "the west has so much ultra wealth and power that we can afford to throw money down the toilet and implement policies that are objectively harmful to us because it's called being a decent human being".

BRICS is just something the right can point to and say "look we aren't completely invincible and there are external forces trying to destroy us. We have to think about the brass tacks at some point".

Same reason a lot of chuds have been simping for china lately, obviously some are just genuinely retarded but i think most are just using it as a rhetorical tool.

It's also why top ranked generals and DOJ officials constantly lie through their teeth about how the US military is about to fall behind china and russia. If DC fags (and more importantly their voters) know we're massively ahead of everyone else they'll consider military spending a waste and want to divert those funds to gay shit.

And don’t mention the “off-planet servicemen.”

Partially rhetoric, partially foresight. Much of history is laid with the corpses of people who rightly concluded that something was too small to be a threat, right up until it wasn't. Its better to act decisively from the preexisting position of power than to wait until things are more 'equal' to then consider them a threat. BRICs is a clownshow, right up until it isn't.

Most of the people in that bloc shilling BRICS are just crypto/gold obsessed people who desperately want to believe they’re going to tank the US dollar and “you’re all going to starve” (unless you buy my shitcoin)

How effective international groups perform heavily comes down to how well they can work together. Organizations like G7 work (comparing to others) because all members have similar interests and decent-to-good relations with one another. The UN is the biggest smorgasbord of mental retardation because not only is everyone in it, but the permanent seats are divided amongst competing powers who can easily just veto anything going against them, the end result is an inept institution that just takes votes on meaningless declarations, in other words “we are sending you an angry letter”

BRICS is full of members with different governments, competing interests, and their game plan is pretty impossible to commit to without becoming at the mercy of one member (China), who will not allow other members (not China) to gain an upper hand. Come to think of it, is South Africa and Brazil even doing anything in it, or are they just showing up for the photos?

BRICS is lame and gay.
 
DJT seems reluctant to ask Sliwa to drop out, and he's right to be. Those polls showing Cuomo getting a big bump in support are bullshit, IMO. What would actually happen is that it would just depress the republican vote and republican candidates across the ballot would suffer.

If worst comes to worst he can just denaturalize and deport Mandani.

It must sincerely frustrate our military knowing the civilians it protects actively and happily broadcast all the military's detected actions publicly (including to their enemies) for the world to see. Gotta get that scoop! Operational surprise? What's that?

I swear, these union fucks. Those dues pay for some heavy-hitting bitch lawyers. They have also made yet another motion to speed things up already, wanting to have everything including the preliminary injunction and the amended complaint all dealt with at the hearing on October 28th.
Jesus, these faggots really are speed-running a SCOTUS spanking. Their attorneys must be getting paid cocaine money on this one.

China is the double edged sword of BRICS.

On one hand they're the only one functional enough to be the keystone of the entire thing. On the other hand they're so stuck up and bitchy it will prevent anybody from wanting to work with them. And both of those things, their success and their inability to work with others, come from the exact same place: An extremely rigid culture that treats people like bugs.

It really is a testamate to what the USA achieved after WW2. We had the option to basically enslave, or destroy, or leave to rot a huge chunk of the world. Instead we played nice and friendly and for a time it paid off. I think we underestimate how rare it is, and will be in the future, to find a civilization that can have that much power and not abuse it.

Lmao why the fuck would they think this would work,
“Uh Trump? Excuse me, but uh, I know we call you Hitler all the time, but we’re also scared of this socialist, you hate socialism too right? Uh, can you please tell the man in your own party to drop out so our centrist that lost his own primary could have a second try?”
 
Meanwhile the Union drilled a colored regiment extensively for what was practically a suicide assault that could potentially win a siege but then the officer in charge of another regiment which was supposed to follow up the assault thought the negroes were stealing all the glory. So he argued to have his regiment do the charge after the big ass bomb dug under enemy lines goes off. Turns out charging through a giant crater is hard and mr. gloryseeker and his men got shot to pieces as they took so long advancing that the Confederates were able to get their firing line going.

Also I imagine that since Trump isn't running for re-election and I don't think he's going into politics again after this, he's going to give Democrats as many opportunities as he can to fuck up catastrophically while he's in office. He's going to let them make as many messes as he can so that he can clean them up.
 
I keep thinking about the Democrats causing the government to shut down and how it might cause EBT to stop.

Again I ask, how are the Dems being allowed to just not go in to work? You ever try doing that? What happened?
There might be riots or protests over EBT. Certainly there would be theft. Will any of it touch the Democrats in their ivory towers?
Nah, the poors will just fight each other.
The Dems might turn on the news to point and laugh, but they know they are safe from any repercussions. Will anyone steal the groceries from a Senator in a store parking lot? lol you know they won't.

Trump has his flaws, but anyone blaming this particular problem on him is an idiot.

As for the more paranoid sort that think The Powers That Be are trying to kill them by starvation or by inciting violence so that they get killed, well bad news. TPTB simply do not care. Not if you starve, not if you are murdered, not if you do a murder to your fellow peasants. You are replaceable, should anyone even think you are important enough to replace, and trust me, they don't.

I am tired.
 
Confederates massacred black soldiers that surrendered or were wounded. The official policy was to not treat them as prisoners of war and to have them enslaved. What is this nonsense?

It's really boring when righties rewrite history the way a commie would.
fort pillow was not unique. the only reason it gets any play time in the history of the civil war is because of how important the fort was for troop movement and views down the mississippi. the south already had not enough food for their own troops, let alone POWs. they didn't even have enough horses for cavalry use. the union demanded the fort be evacuated MONTHS prior, and the general in charge chose not to do that. major booth's death, and the subsequent assuming of command by bradford is the reason it happened.

they asked for a one hour ceasefire, and they tricked the confederates as to the reason. gen. forrest was infuriated by this and told them they were coming in after 20 minutes. 295 union troops killed. there was no benefit to them surrendering, either, because they would have simply starved to death or been put immediately back into slavery in the south. the very idea of this is completely fucking stupid. they should have abandoned the fort as they'd been ordered months prior.

once more, libtard opening his cockholster to make himself look retarded. fort pillow was outmanned, outgunned, outprepared, and for the past hour, they'd been antagonizing the confederate forces. they couldn't even leave the fort because all the waiting had given the confederates time to set up sniper positions. what's the next revisionist history you'd like to share with us, nigger? or are you just going to continue repeating literal propaganda shoveled hand over fist into your mouth by a US senator and congressman of the time who were using the ideas for their own political agendas? i would bet real cash right now you don't even know who senator wade and rep gooch WERE, you fucking retard.

"Send in the niggers"
"But sir, won't they get all the glory?"
"... good point. Send in our guys."
"But sir won't they die"
"... good point."
