I was listening to some of the audio from Bessent's appearance in Congress the other day, and I have to say that Maxine Waters is one of the most obnoxious members of the House. She looks like a dried fish, she talks worse than RFK Jr, and she's dumb as a stump.
even for a committee hearing that was an impressive pile of obnoxious and dumb
 
If the dollar collapses, who is going to want your gold? people are going to want food, shelter and clean water like we always have, will the gold have value again as society gets rebuilt? sure, but thats 2 steps ahead of where we are at, the crash and survival period are not doing to be times where you get to sit around your safe and count your stacks.
Currency traders will take it off your hands. When a currency fails it's always the same story: Government runs into a spiral where they have to keep adding zeroes, they peg the official rate of exchange to the dollar to something laughable and make it mandatory under threat of force, the insiders all cash out whatever they can into dollars while everyone else has to blackmarket trade, eventually they invent a new name for the currency without all the extra zeroes and the cycle can repeat.

How this works with the dollar itself maybe a new story. I would guess ammo still the most valuable, impossible to safely trade without both parties holding guns in a real collapse.
 
Chat is this a sign of a healthy economy?

How was the US economy is the early 80s and the late 2000s?

They think battles in the real life play out like a Chinese king-fu flick and not like MMA fight.
The older I get the more I realize how much of this effect permeates all of Asian culture. Appearances are extremely important and should ALWAYS take priority over functionality. Their martial arts, politics, warfare, internet trolling, movies, tech, cars, women, families, women, buildings, it's all a massive show trying to win people's approval. Izzat is not exclusive to India.

It worked on me when I was younger but as you get older it's impossible not to notice.
 
Gee, if only we had a man at the top of the FBI—a director, say—or a Cabinet-level department that could do something about insubordinate employees.

Yep, that's a poser, for sure. 🤔
I'm not going to bat for pootell. But it kinda sounded like that's what he was doing early on, and then stopped half way. The insubordinates are retarded but I doubt their calling mayor's from their desk VOIP phones during work hours. It's not going to be as easy as pull the call histories off of the agents devices either, as they may be using burners or public phones.

Assuming the investigation is of average size for a fraud there's at least a couple hundred FBI officials between the home office and the local one who are privy to the sensitive information, like warrants and subpoenas. So to do it right you essentially have to pull the entire team off the investigation, transfer it to another team, and then grill all the previously pulled members one on one. Which of you remember some early 2025 reporting, Patel was doing. There's complaints he was doing "loyalty tests" that involved polygraphs and other 'devious' methods. Then all talk of that stopped, apparently so did tests. I'm more curious why it was stopped? If it's so corrupt that to run a internal review of itself would paralyze the FBI. Then you either have to dissolve the entire thing and start over. Or try and change the wheels on a moving car and work with what you have. It's a problem that doesn't really have a quick fix no matter what solution you take. I wonder what Trump and Co will do now. Most likely proceed as usual, as the leaks don't stop the subpoenas or warrants. But if he guts the FBI over this it would be very funny.
 
This whole thins grosses me out. Having a gun bottom up matters. The ones with more guns above have more powr.
 
Admit it. If Chinese had dark skin they would be outright hated here.
Chinese people are pretty much the equivalent of those kids who are like "You can't make fun of me for pooping my self and smelling bad, BECAUSE MY DAD MADE THE PLASTIC MOLDING MACHINE!" or, I suppose, in chinese terms "You can't make fun of me for being a nothern chinese retarded brat because MY COUNTRY IS THE DRAGON!" or something insanely gay like that. A Chinese man (despite having the wrists of an elderly grandma yet, in their benefit, stronger than an Indian) will try to have that Latino macho attitude, except for the fact that it all comes from nationalism, which is, you know, extremely homosexual.

China can't have flaws; it can't smell bad; it can't have dead dogs starved to death in the rapeseed fields. No! That's just outside factors and not because Wang and Li were playing grab ass with each other. The fact that China refuses to have a sense of humor about itself is hilarious, considering that the country is constantly a toilet world filled with retards that make even the most dreadful hillbilly dudes in VA doing meth seem quaint and polite in comparison.

Basically, the only way I will ever respect China is if they do the following:

1. Admit they can be stupid retards.
2. Admit their women are ugly and stupid.
3. Admit the hamburger is far better than some dry ass Peking Duck with goyslop sauce that some nigga scooped out of a barrel.

Until then, I put China on the same level as druids and vegans. Obnoxious assholes who, despite being buck broken 24/7, can't ever take a hint.
 
Why do progressives have this obsession with inventing new words to describe X when we already have words to describe X?

Illegal = Undocumented
Climate Change = Climate Emergency
Ethnic Minorities = Global Majority
Because eventually people realize that they don't want X and vote to get rid of X and progressives realize they have to change it to Y.

Honestly as far as the "global majority" shit... I really hate to do this because 5 years ago I would have called somebody a quack for saying this, but i'm really starting to question *everything* about population numbers. We know China's are completely fucked, and the more I think about it the more I realize how easy the entire thing would be to fake when you have countries with people who lie/are generally incompetent combined with the westerners doing the studies wanting to push a narrative.

If nigeria has 100 million people then it needs 100 million $ worth of gibs, seats at the UN, articles about how it's the country of the future, all of that shit. How is it that no african nation comes close to being able to feed itself, doesn't produce fuck all, but has all of these cash reserves to pay china for shit like the belt and road? Could it be that they exaggerate their population numbers times 4, naive westerners assume they're telling the truth, then UN organizations send billions of dollars worth of shit that wasn't needed?

I think I read somewhere that for China's current population number to be accurate it would mean the average female chinese female between 1950 and 1990 had FIVE kids... the AVERAGE, meaning for every female who had 0 there was another who had 10, or 5 who had 6, etc.

I frankly have so little faith in any statistic or breakthrough or story coming out of any non-white country. These places never even went through a renaissance level of moral refinement and we're trusting them the same way we trust post cold war western countries.

It's ludicrous when you really think about it.

Their morality and civilization isn’t based on Christianity so they won’t take Christian names, they don’t assimilate because the foundational level of their morals are fundamentally different
east asians don't have a history on christian or western culture either but most asians in america took regular english names anyway
it's not about background, it's about willingness to integrate (or lack thereof)
 
People watch the Superbowl for three reasons :

1) They love football that much
2) Team loyalty
3) The commercials
I find it interesting this sports event is the only time people don't take issue with the long ads even though they likely take up more time than the actual game. Maybe that was how they conditioned the masses to sit through so many commercial breaks.

That's the beauty of it, they don't. Most of that is borrowed by the locals with no plan to pay them back. The Chinese either take the entire mineral reserve as collateral or they get scammed by the locals when they don't honor the debt.

This ruined 4chan. We used to have so much fun, burgers being fat, aussies being insane, brits needing a loicense, leafs being too nice, japs vs koreans, there was so much kino that everyone participated in.


When Chink posters and Jeets started to overwhelm the website everything became too serious and now everyone treats it like a genuine battlefield.
