I wish I was more active in this thread... but the world is pretty depressing right now.
 
My prediction is we get some serious pushback on the judicial lawfare. If Trump just ignored some judges insane ruling that the majority of the public was against, it would be a tipping point to just reject them. Its not the federal marshals would do anything to Trump, just go more aggressive with clearing house. The public will support him if it benefits them enough.
I agree in principle. But in practice, I think the sociopolitical environment's become too polarized to even be able to set the stage. For instance, a good majority of people support the mass deportation of illegal alien criminals. And yet, when I.C.E./B.P. shows up to "do the needful," we see celebs like Selena Gomez crying about "her people," others about tyrants and freedom, how Trump's a threat to Our Oligarchy Democracy, in part helping to cement mass immigration's consequences--especially if President Trump were to ignore a judge's order on the matter, without sufficient the political capital/momentum. TDS will necessarily prevent those who have it (i.e. most non-Trump voters) from ever agreeing to the validity of his (hypothetical) decision, regardless of the reason.

Hence, my point is that it's best to do such a thing in an obfuscated political environment, which must be further obfuscated afterwards to maintain both the narrative and momentum.

In other words, it would require an administration that sought to assert the dominance of the Executive Branch over nearly all else.

There's a problem on the right of those like asmon who say 'if we don't get 100% total death, don't vote'. Stupid. Fuentes idiots are like this too. That needs to be addressed. Null's like this on his 'issue of the year except jews' on pajeets. Fuck the GOP, unless it's my way. The left is vote blue no matter who.

It's not just the right that's that, it's the squishy middle that's fickle, especially gen z that'll go with whatever podcaster says.

ETA: the left knows to go after primaries, they sign up as GOP to vote for the least likely to win. That's fine, whatever. In generals it's insane not vote for the side that you like that's 51%+. It's asking for the side you don't like to take over. It's immature and childish to be that rigid. Or just autistic.

I've read stories of how Chinese culture is totally fine with setting a low price (thereby giving the customer a "good deal") and then giving the customer steel that doesn't meet their required specifications (some of which might just be "no rust"). When the customer complains, the Chinese just say "well what did you expect for such a a low price, this is your fault." even though the Chinese set that low price in the first place. You can't trust them EVER.

The fact people still do business with them at all hints more at desperation than anything.
This is what I've been told as well, by mainland Chinese people. If you accept a deal that is too good to be true and it turns out to be fake then you're the greedy idiot who got what he deserved.

On one hand, it's quite a rash sentiment to have. On the other hand, Charlie Kirk's assassination put into focus the need of the Trump administration to solidify wins and to do so in a decisive manner, to make room for more. Thus, in an ideal world, this sentiment would be satiated rather quickly.

Problem is, the President's been flooded up to his neck with both foreign and malign interests (Israeli/Arab money, Deep State/Con Inc., Tech/AI "Right", etc.) seeking to if not assert their wants/needs, then to fundamentally undermine him in a similarly decisive manner.

It's essentially a Catch-22 for the President.

He can either be fully transparent with the base and admit he's been stalled, and try to survive the fallout that ensues as said interests pounce on his perceived weakness (which could spiral into voter demoralization, radicalization, disintegration, etc.). Or, he can "stay silent," and maintain maximum political maneuverability at the cost of potentially demoralizing his base, and giving ammo to those further to the right of him (who seek to slander him and his movement).

A pertinent aspect in the catch is the "generally unpredictable."

Factor that in, and it all becomes a damned if you do, damned if you don't type scenario. That is to say, these people are going to say these things whether you go about it publicly or privately.

So for them, I'd say that if they genuinely want the best for President Trump/the U.S., show the GOP that Donald does the party favors like no other. Vote GOP later this year, and choke Con Inc. into submission with that very rope.

Trump can't do that, it's antithetical to his nature to admit weakness or problems. It's his strength and weakness, he's a stubborn ass. Really no politician at that level can admit mistakes or corrections very much. Kamala and the 'would you do anything different?' 'I can't think of anything'. It'll be interesting down the road to see if JD can think and act for himself any. Only the most shrewd can navigate to how your superiors were good but then how you'll be able to explain that to go forward.

Not many have ever been able to do that. Ever. This is why I never want to even be a mod on a low level site like this, it's a thankless job. Running the world is too much.

Hence why he's taking the latter approach. It really boils down the fact that they're (i.e. Dissident Right) not being pragmatic, at all. As with all things in life, critiques regarding the administration must be balanced with acknowledgement of the good it's done (closed the borders, much more pragmatic foreign policy, emphasized effort on immigration law enforcement, reduction of refugees/legal immigrants admitted into the country/naturalized, etc.). Can't be a Negative Nancy all the time and expect to curry favor with the President (just ask MTG).
 
i don't understand this. i saw it in the previous video, but it doesn't make sense to me. what about this is making her cry? she says "fraud is bad," touches her mouth like she just said nigger during a heated gamer moment, and then starts crying and wants to run away? did she not read the script, and it turned out to be written by someone who said "i know fraud is bad and that's why we shouldn't have done it, we're sorry and we won't do it again."

the background of all these videos is always the same. it's all fat white women, ugly brownoids with too much makeup, and retarded ally men who really just want that white girl pussy.
I can explain it. You see, she thinks she just gave false testimony against her own community, aka the only real people who actually matter. To her, stealing from the kafir is not bad at all, but the highest good. And everyone who is Somali, aka the only real people, agrees. Essentially, saying "fraud is bad" is blasphemy, and speaking blasphemy, even in service of jihad, shocked her.

Welcome to the mind of vermin.

Sounds like the "lesson" is "don't ever make a deal with chinks" if this is as well know as it *clearly* is, then why has nobody else seemingly learned this lesson?
 
The best way to lose weight is to mix Taco Bell and vodka. Then, while wrecking your toilet, do 30 squats while shitting.

Yes, there is a chance you might miss and hit the seat if you lack mastery of your asshole and aim, but it’s a complete lift hack to do 30 squats on a shitting session.

If you are in a public bathroom and are afraid of making noises, just meow during each set and pretend you are chasing a cat in there. No one will think it’s awkward or weird.
Wrong. The best way to lose weight is to do meth and hit yourself in the face with a hammer.
 
This pleases me! I’ve been thinking about moving to Florida for awhile

You'll love it. I know people bitch that blue staters come to red states and bring their politics with, but it's only made me more conservative to see how well things operate in Florida with no state income tax and all the woke shit gone.
 
For the love of God just stop. I am begging you. There isn't anything behind that veil for you to find. It's an empty room that you just die in. I don't want to shit up the thread with off topic stuff but just fucking stop drinking. I tell you this as a person that pulled back the veil and and walked into the empty room and started an infinite construction project. I have gotten lost in the resulting labyrinth for 20 years. You'll think to yourself "well he made it 20 years and i'm only a few years along in this and how much he drinks, HA IM NOT THAT BAD" and keep digging or making hallways for you to walk down, your excuses have been justified and now you'd be a fool if you didn't stop. I could keep going for a while about this but i'll stop sperging, It's just anytime I see someone say stuff like this they need to be warned.
I agree, I've watched 4 family members die to drinking, either directly or indirectly, and a few to other substance abuses+booze.

A common thread is that they all joke about how bad drinking is and how it'll ruin their body and lives, and they do it, and it ruins their body and lives, and then they mourn in absolute and total abject despair at doing so, I understand its a hard (almost completely fucking impossible) addiction to break, but damn does it feel hard to feel bad.. the handwaiving and jokes years before, and then the complete and total 100% saturated misery near the "end" is just soul crushing to deal with multiple times with multiple family members.

I have never, ever had a single drink in my life because of it, and people make fun of me for it, like I didn't see the majority of my family I interact with (Mom, Dad, Uncle and 3 cousins) die to it, which people who try and get me to drink just handwaive away.
 
House Bill 805 establishes that North Carolina only recognizes two genders, male and female. The law states that an individual's Gender Identity may not align with their sex assigned at birth, but that identity will not be treated equally to their biological sex. It blocks the use of state money for gender transition care for minors and people in prison and makes it easier for people to sue doctors who provide transition-related care to minors. The Bill changes how birth certificates are handled when someone's sex is changed. Instead of replacing the old record, counties will be required to keep both the original and the updated document together as a single file. Any official copy issued will include both versions.

Parts of the HB805 Prevent Sexual Exploitation of Women and Minors bill are already in effect.
Happy New Year indeed. :)

This might come across as sideways, but I've had smokers/tobacco users tell me to never start, and I never had the heart to say "You don't have to tell me twice." I don't want to powerlevel about tobacco/alcohol use in my family, so all I will say is, is that it'd be another chain around my neck.
 
Now the thing that warms my heart most about state of US and bit elsewhere also, is the culture war front.
In US during election Left was dreaming about finding it's own Rogan. Without realizing Rogan is nothing more than one guy at top level and left is getting curb stomped by flood of names.
Shirley is teabagging MSM.
Asmongold is telling on damn Twitch to fucking deport every last one of them and he is not even getting banned.

The candidate to be their Rogan is best known for animal torture.
 
So how are the Ds gonna do in the midterms?

:thinking:
Depends on the outcome of the Supreme Court case regarding the VRA. If Section 2 is gutted or removed, GOP will hang on based entirely off the new maps. If not, Democrats will gain the house but not with 2018 numbers. In terms of the Senate, they'll gain one or two seats (most likely Maine and maybe North Carolina).
