Bookmark my response. I will put on a burger suit, if substantial action is taken against mass importation by the end of this or next year. MIGGER!
Colombia to suspend intelligence cooperation with US over strikes on drug vessels
Noooooo.Colombia is totally not profiting off the same drug routes and selling drugs to addicts in the US! They are really doing this because of international law and shiiiiit. We need them! Oh what shall we do????


Who tf is this dude?

Ah looks like he is a mooslim, so a threat to him is denouncing a mandatory call to prayer in a rural town in Georgia.

I don’t want a burger suit. I want to see you in a hot dog suit.
 
Did you guys know in 2008 the city of Chicago (our 3rd largest city) sold its fucking citizens parking rights to Abu Dhabi for 75 fucking years for the princely sum of 1.15 billion dollars. The fucking saudis made their money back in a few years, its all profit for decades now. Every time you park in Chicago your funding Mecca.

That actually has a silver lining because it completely stopped their plans to “diet” all the roads because they can’t remove any parking without paying the Emiratis the entire lifetime earnings of the removed parking spots.
 
Can they see it with the naked eye or only through photography? I live pretty close to where one of the photos you posted earlier was taken and I can't see anything here with the naked eye.
Hit G5 in areas, and it still looks like it might get more intense tomorrow morning to evening tomorrow. Like I said, I didn't even think it was possible where I am to see it but I happened to go out and was like holy shit.

Saw Blue Origin is considering delaying New Glenn launch. I wonder if they'll put any sats in safe mode for awhile now.
 
Wish I didn't live in an urban area
That's the thing, I do and it's heavy light pollution, can barely see any stars anymore, but I got some awesome pics and my dad did too not far off. This is pretty unique for being such a direct hit for just the right time in much of the USA.

ETA it only lasted about 20 minutes at most, cause when I went back out it was gone visible and only barely on camera.
 
TRUMP IS CALLING AMERICANS RETARDED.

ITS BEYOND OVER.

What a garbage response. I really find it hard to believe that he meant something more nuanced than exactly the same shit that Elon and Vivek were saying during the Christmas crashout, because how the fuck do these so-called "right wing" figures keep fucking up their responses in the exact same way?
H-1bs are overwhelmingly fucking over tech jobs. To say that America somehow lacks talent when the tech market has been suffering layoffs for the past few years is just bullshit. The fact he doesn't even bother to address the real goddamn concerns and instead distracts with some other bullshit makes it pretty obvious he's been bought out on the issue. It's the same response every time, but at this point even a total retard has gotten wise to the fact that H-1b visas are primarily used to bring in a horde of brown and smelly street shitters who are questionably competent.
If the economy is facing total economic collapse because the market got flooded with cut rate labor, then we just need to let it die, because continuing on with more bubblegum and duct tape is just going to make the collapse more catastrophic. I want politicians to stop playing hot potato with this issue, corporations have become hopelessly addicted to cheap foreign labor, and ignoring the impending crisis is a grave mistake.
 
I'm genuinely surprised that the Utah Republicans are actually doing something about this. It's my personal headcanon that @WelperHelper99 's sheer optimism on this situation willed it into being.
This is why you never take the black pill. If you are fucked and act like you are fucked, nothing changes. If you are not fucked and act like you are fucked, you will become fucked. If you are fucked and defiantly refuse to act fucked, you can, in some rare cases, actually unfuck yourself.

Fannie Mae set to drop its 620 credit score minimum.Mortgage giant will instead use its own analysis of risk factors.Officials say they're easing barriers to borrowing."It's just the latest in a series of policy changes aimed at creating home ownership opportunities in the United States."
Oh boy! looking forward to another sub-prime mortgage crisis!

So it’s racist to even be born white now?
Always has been.

translation: You need people to be trained and sometimes you need to bring in foreign talent to train.
Either Trump naively believes H1Bs are being used for their original purpose, or he has a Wormtongue in his ear

Not really, they got a battery plant up near where my dad and my step mom live, https://www.blueovalsk.com/kentucky Listen, i'm not calling my fellow kentuckians dumbasses, but this place isn't hiring the best adn the brightest, and they are hiring directly from the local workforce.
Depends very much on the battery chemistry. The chemistry of the lead-acid batteries that start your car is older than anyone posting in this thread, and can be completely reconditioned by a street-shitter by the road side. The worst that will happen is that the street shitter will suffer acid burns if he is not careful, his work area will eventually become lead-contaminated, and he'll eventually catch lead poisoning. The battery itself will be fine and work well.

Modern lithium-based chemistries can contain much more energy than lead-acid, energy density approaching that of gasoline or diesel fuel. Some variants will also self ignite in a manner that is impossible to put out if done wrong. So yes, it can take some smarts to build batteries that are also useful for storing electricity and not just bombs, or at least design a process that a retard can safely follow.

let me have my capeshit, it's been a tough week
Tough week? The week has barely begun; it's Tuesday.

If we allow temporary visas STRICTLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRAINING NEW RECRUITS, then said recruits will be the ones to train the next generation which would eliminate the need for foreign trainers in literally 1 generation. I need you to reread the last sentence about 6000 times so your dumbass can actually understand it.
The competency crisis is real holy fuck.
While what you say is true, can you blame people for being upset when they have seen their own industries hollowed out by Indians? Who were told that the H1B is only supposed to be temporary and for exceptional talent, only observe a flood of retarded nepotistic street-shitters instead? Who were then gaslight into saying nothing, because to notice the incompetence of most pajeets is to commit a heckin' racism?

Just as it sucked for the boy who cried wolf to helplessly watch his flock get eaten when a real wolf finally did show up, so too it sucks for both the US and the exceptional talent when that talent is actually needed. But actions have consequences, and much of the workforce here in the US has been thoroughly trained that foreign workers == locust swarm of incompetent street-shitters who will shut out local labor by working for sub-slave-wages.

The competence crisis is real. Just today I had to tell someone that the company's ability to perform a task a customer was requesting was permanently lost when a particular site was closed. I have watched knowledge die and have to be re-discovered. But I do not blame the average American for being damned suspicious of 'temporary workers'.

This lends slightly more credence to the theory that he just catastrophically fucked up the messaging.
Lets not forget that the messaging is filtered through the media, who openly hates him and has every motivation and intent to pervert the messaging to make him look bad and try and slow his admin down / "save" the midterms for the left.

The right aligned media is controlled opposition and openly hates him for representing the Tea-party-esque MAGA mindset that is throwing out the GOPe out and overturning the apple cart. The right was never supposed to be anything else but respectable losers who pretended to fight the Uniparty while looting the country dry. They were never supposed to do anything other than promise.
The left aligned media thinks he and everyone who voted for him should be murdered and their children raped and brainwashed, and think you're being a literal fascist nazi supporter if you don't think that's funny.

If nothing else, they have an economic incentive to keep things close to 50/50, due to the fact that close races sell more ads.
