Holy shit, you're right. I found the clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lie_NfdzRf4

That's really wild. I guess this kind of messaging was there even before the whole woke stuff started.

Captain Planet has always sucked, even back then. A lot of the modern woke crap was probably inspired by this tbh.

People will say just a letter doesn't do much but it does help, I just hope it isn't ONLY a letter if it doesn't work.

I haven't watched MATI in a while, does Null have a bank account yet?

from what it looks like this is the official warning stage, like getting trespassed usually it's actually if you _return_ you get arrested
but yeah this seems to be more of a thing than a funny Randy Fine stunt, but we'll obviously be among the first to know the real business end of it

According to witnesses that survived the bombing, a LOT of people thought that the US had dropped magnesium onto the power lines.

(There's a little green book, I don't know the name, which is a priest who survived by being in the basement with the other priest and the two nuns, that is fascinating)

The soldiers that were in bunkers just suffered deafness for a while and bloody noses. They were convinced the Americans were about to invade via land.

The descriptions of the walking dead at the river, drinking endlessly, were chilling.

Is it this?

I hope it has some teeth, Trump is better than a strongly worded UN letter

Can we just kill Thomas Thune already? Like, fuck that asshole. With some die in a hole, you fucking faggot. It's your faggoty fault that I have to. Use ethanol in my fucking car. Ethanol, by the way, is an inefficient fuel because again, it takes one gallon of diesel or other fuels to make. It's just a Subs. Et of.

Hmm... also, I fucking hate when ChatGPT gets "conversational." I keep telling it to stop that shit and just talk to me directly, but it keeps forgetting how.

Civil law works that way, you always send a demand letter first before pursuing further action.

From yesterdays anti ICE/No More Kangz protest in Portland.

Are you scared yet chuddies? This is the badass nutzee slayer you'll be fighting in Civil War 2!

This machine kills fascists bro!

If the fraud can be cut somehow I think it’ll be fixed.

I agree. It doesn’t take much to coup the state essentially they just need to do fraud in a few key locations.

A decent debate between realists and idealists, in order:







The hard to swallow pill is the neocons will at least vote for stuff when they get something they want. The current online right/retard right are becoming Massie-like in lynching good because they were stupid enough to believe they would get perfect.




This is where I'm at, I cant' take the anti-war people seriously when they are acting like this. It sucks but Trump is actually being the adult in the room now and they thought he was just the cool uncle as opposed to stern dad:

The japanese exposure to the 13% is going to be amazing, they were just dealing with the annoying tourists before, but I remember when this happened a few years ago, they should take note:

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

what a retarded thing to say.

You a Muslim or something? Refusing to move on is dumb Muslim shit.

That USS Liberty crap was half a century ago. I'm not going to throw a bitch fit after every 40 days of mouring and keep my life on pause over a minor event from two generations ago.

Get over things. Your life will be better and you have better things to do.

Sometimes I'd like to make an experiment where a person witnessing this event has a gun. I'd love to know what % of people just shoot the nigger.

Eh not much, tourism is still big and 50,000,000 trips were made between LA and Las Vegas on the I-15 in 2025 so a 2 hour intercity service wouldn't perform badly. Minimum in my opinion would be 5 million riders annually unless they actually stick to the $400 ticket price which I don't think is likely. $150-250 is more likely and if the prices adjust for stuff like peak and off peak times then it'll be fine. Also I think there is a commuter rail connection in Rancho Cucamonga but that station might be a bit to the south of the Brightline one.
Can private rail companies have their tickets subsidized?

I wouldn't want to be on that train ride back to LA full of blackout drunks who just lost their bag..
