I don't understand the 'gotcha' on the Epstein files for Dems. They had years to release it but didn't. Why not? Are they saying they were so protective of child predators that it overcame their natural desire to punish trump who is megaHitler according to them and they've thrown everything else and the kitchen sink to try to get rid of?


So they are admitting when they were in power they wanted to protect pedos and weren't really as serious about holding Trump to account as they claimed. And they just changed their mind for some reason now that they no longer have the power to do anything?
 
A mouse born in a barn is not a horse, etc.
The douche larping as a neo nazi online is not relevant, et cetera.

They have nothing and they never had anything. If they had anything, we would have heard about this sometime during the Biden Harris administration. Her inner circle knew the writing was on the wall, and she didn't use this information as an October surprise to possibly pull off an election victory? Yeah, that's believable.
 
Talk about burying the lede, bro.

This is entirely on you. Why would you not research a school you are paying thousands of dollars to attend?

Are you doing your undergrad at Devry?
Well I was 18 at the time. The recommendation came from my grandparents. But I later found out that they were just impressed with the TV commercials. It was not ITT tech, but a local school that was actually non-profit. At the time, I had no idea about what to expect from going to college,etc I just simply figured I could trust my relatives. As I mentioned, I did end up going to a state uni, but I did briefly look into Devry. With just my single phone call to their campus asking about the CS degrees, they had some recruiter lady drive nearly 3 hours to come visit me in my house (on the wrong side of town as well lol) just a few days later. They are clearly optimized for sales and nothing else.


And if I recall, this was the era where all sorts of for-profit schools popped up all over the US only to shut down a short time later for all sorts of shady stuff such as poor graduation rates and quality of education disproportionate to the high tuition, credits that didn't transfer elsewhere as promised, etc. Bummer if you got caught up in that.
I doubt that era is over. I still see plenty of commercials that air on local programming channels everyday around lunch time. No-name stuff all advertising "get x degree in ONLY x months. CALL NOW!" The school I went to was a non-profit btw. Non-profit just means instead of getting shareholders richer, you can only get the owner and his buddies richer.

Right after I graduated from a state uni, back when I had an office job, a fedex delivery driver was in my office and started chatting about "what I did", etc. After I tell him "Software development", he goes on to talk about how he is getting his bachelors in "cyber security" in "only 30 months". He then names the trade school I had went to. They had since expanded into offering cyber security "degrees". I'm sure it is 24 months of academic classes followed by 6 months of how to configure firewalls. I felt really depressed and dirty after hearing that.

@dorxter¼ it's 20 large for a trade school? Fuck me dead, 2 years of community college is around HALF that.
This was in year 2000. The same training/degree could have been had at the local community college for less than $3k back then.

They were in power for 4 years and never gave a shit about the Epstein files, hell they called those files a conspiracy that didn’t exist it wasnt until trump got into power that they started to care. But we all know for a fact if Kamala won they wouldn’t even mention those files ever again let alone release them. Remember the files were labeled by them as a dangerous conspiracy for years until trump got into office. Besides some of their favorite hero’s are on that list supposedly like both Clinton’s, Noam Chomsky, Stephen hawking and so on.
 
The house just had a preliminary vote. Congratulations everyone, looks like gibs are back on the Thanksgiving table.

hallelujah, praise be to the turducken stuffing.

Stephen hawking
this one always makes me crack up. like, what the fuck does he even get from it? he was giga paralyzed, is it JUST to say you got some epstein bitches? who are you bragging about that to? especially as stephen hawking!?
 
It'd be hilarious if the Dem's dirt on him is that he used to be a moderator of /r/FatPeopleHate.
Nah, that would unironically be about as damning as anything else they could dig up. I'd rather live in a country ran by pedophiles than a country ran by Reddit jannies (a distinction without a difference tbh).
 
Day 3 of Weed shutting down the government: As you all know the senate instead of simply passing the exact clean CR the house did which would allow trump to have signed and reopened the government on Sunday they decided to make a few stupid modifications. This is likely because they didn't want the democrats to get all the credit for being faggots and had to show they are also possibly even bigger faggots.

The two changes I know of:
1. Make weed, Delta 9 THC, and Hemp that they accidentally made legal in 2017 illegal again.
This change is because Ron Desantis and others are taking money from Trulieve and other "medical weed" producers who hate competition. Rather than compete in the free market they want to create a soft cartel using the Republicans as their drug kingpin enforcers.

2. The feds can spy on people without warrants BUT NOT US. As you know the Republicans claim to be for small government but just love to have it spying on every aspect of your life. They want a camera in your bathroom to watch you poop and to make sure the turds are the proper patriotic shape. This ties in to their love for small government as mentioned in the first part. They are pissed off that the warrantless wiretapping was used on them by the former nigger in chief king obama of kenya. Their fix to this is to exempt themselves from it while letting obama and friends continue to check your turds for proper shape.

Update: The government remains shut down for the 3rd day. The house democrats and republicans have no problem with the Desantis drug cartel. Their problem is with the wording of the spying protection for senators. They want themselves and also the people who bribe them to be included as well. EBT still halted. ATCs remain unpaid and will miss ANOTHER paycheck this Friday. The TSA has began asking for tips.

Democrats - 37 Days of shutdown
Republicans (due to weed and "other things") - 3 days of shutdown

Maybe eventually we will have a functioning government or not, I don't give a shit at this point I hope air traffic never returns to normal. Maybe our fat asses need to walk places.

Pass the cranberry sauce, my brother!

It's crazy to me because even a quadriplegic can use their tongue for a little bit of gratification, but he was so wheelchaired up that he even had to use a speak and spell to talk because even his voice box was fucking paralyzed.
He was over on Jeffrey's Island just smelling young girls :story:

Fucking BASED. No more potheads.

there will be no cranberry sauce today, the government remains shut down. house members want that sweet sweet spying immunity too badly to turn the faucet back on yet. we should've known the republicans couldn't do this without fucking up something.
