Fuck off pets are luxuries.

So you want to live in a world where average people can’t afford luxuries?

Fifty years ago someone with a high school diploma could have a semi-skilled job that afforded them a wife, a home, two kids and a pet or two.

Now we have PhD’s digging into retirement funds to afford vet bills, because society has been so thoroughly atomized by predatory economics that having a pet is the closest thing many people have left to having a family.

You’re taking aim at symptoms and closing your eyes to causes.

I've actually listened to interviews of feds talking about infiltrating extremist domestic groups and barring the actual cartel and drug dealers it's always the most pathetic bullshit you've ever heard

Repostan a classic

even large cities like New York couldn't afford the kind of 24/7 security cordon needed to keep one lucky sniper from doming their officials

I have long said that idiot politicians are scared of AR’s and AK’s while the smart ones are scared of a Remington 700 in .30-06 with a 6.5-20X50.

For details on the effects shitlib rule has had on public safety in Chicago, visit HeyJackass!, which has been documenting the out of control crime. Whether the name of the site addresses Jewish Blimp Pritzker or the Black Lives Matter Mayor Brandon Johnson is unclear.

That website has been around longer than either of those two assholes. I like to juxtapose the murder map with a slightly different map.



Edit: I combined the two in case anyone was having difficulties.

Florida is reportedly planning to create four new Republican seats in their redistricting map. This news is only just beginning to break into the broader online right-wing pundit sphere (they got it from Johnson here) and hasn't gotten any longer articles written about it yet even in online right-wing outlets like Salem Media's Redstate & Townhall, but it would be in line with the expressed wishes of DeSantis & the Florida GOP to lash back at Newsom for his efforts to (even more heavily) gerrymander California - one of the key targets Johnson said they're looking at for redistricting, Palm Beach's District 20, was previously highlighted as one of the most likely places where such an effort would start. Aside from FL Ohio, Indiana & Missouri are some of the other red states said to be considering heavy redistricting in favor of the Republicans ahead of next year's midterms, as well.

We in Ohio just redistricted a few years ago. It was a pretty good, clean redistrict, but the courts jumped in to give the state Dems the forever blue seat in Cincinnati they've been bitching about for years. You'll hear team blue bitch about how jerrymandered Ohio is every now and again. It's not that it's any more or less jerrymandered than any where else, it's that the state Dems are mouth breathing retards who completely pissed away the rural and blue collar Dems by running the most retarded progressives they could find. We'd had Cincinnati split between two seat with a balance of urban and rural and the Dems could have won those seats if they'd just run more moderate candidates.

Or you could believe a certain gimmick poster who most likely doesn't even live in the state. The state Dems have fumbled Ohio hard, they basically only control the cities. You've all seen the Cincinnati pols over the last month or so, they are that retarded state wide. Just offensively fucking retarded, even with the state GOP throwing that fucking scamming pajigger in the governor's race, they'll probably still lose.

Hopefully nothing, but there's certainly some talking going on now.. Biden would disappear for weeks and nobody really said anything, but with Trump out of the scene for just a bit everyone gets all panicky.

I'm a fan of Trump but if we end up with two presidents in a row that are unable to govern because theyre incapacitated with age related health issues we need to have a serious conversation about age limits or something.

Maybe your eighties is just too fucking old to be president.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

I don't disagree with you, General Ripper, but why? What's the strategic advantage? Why not give another trillion to Israel? Why not establish a colony in the arctic?

EDIT: It finally happened

Because it secures control for the United States of the Arctic in the Western Hemisphere, plus control of the Baffin Bay. It also importantly boxes any other great powers out of the Davis Strait.

Remember to turn your globes so you can see the Arctic. The world gets smaller.


Control of Greenland solidifies US control of the Western Hemisphere from the North and the South.

 

[Oh!]

What strategic value does that provide us which Turkey does not? Is not Antarctica the greater strategic asset in the long run if the unspoken aspects of geopolitics are considered?

Should we stage missiles there?

This is 50/50, I'm both asking these questions because I want your input and because I'm fucking retarded.

[David Attenborough voice] Here we see the Mechanical Jew in its native habitat. It alights delicately among the patterned carpet, its nose poised to sniff out any local threats. Cautiously, it tests the atmosphere to see if its opinions are palatable before engaging in conversation. Truly magical.

At this point Arnie has a better chance of being president.

Today in tales of la resistance:
Protestors chained up the gate at the DHS building in Los Angeles, wow!

 

[Kiwi Lime Pie]

But if anything could bring this problem to light in a huge way, it's this. I truly hope that massive attention is brought to this incident in particular, but I also hope that it never happens again.

What an ugly world.

Young kids needlessly being injured and killed sucks. Ugly world indeed.

If nothing else, normal people who haven't imbibed on Kool-Aid are starting to become -pilled in noticing how recent school shooters have been transgender and they're questioning what sort of mental health issues the shooters had that nobody wants to talk about. They're also viewing the adults who reinforce the shooters' delusions that they're something they're not as enablers who are hurting them more than they are helping. Also in play is the reality those who transition and later have "buyers remorse" are threatened with being ostracized if they don't remain fully committed to being transgender - further pressuring them to be something they're not. In any other context, this would be considered bullying. Yet, this somehow is considered stunning and brave.

All of the EV's my company makes have retarded electric door latches. There are manual override latches, but only in the front.

I like the fact someone I know who works for an automaker makes their disinterest in EVs emphatically clear.

Is being able to say a car doubles as a mobile crematorium good for marketing?

U turn, u burn? (I'll see myself out now...)

 

[Oh!]

It's a cult, plain and simple. Why did Tom Cruise jump on Oprah's couch? Because if he didn't, he'd be ostracized by Scientology. Once you join one of these teams, you're not allowed to leave. If you do, you're proof that only TRVE BELIEVERS are worthy of joining in the first place. Never mind that 41%-48% try to fucking kill themselves once they realize what they've done to themselves.

Just for the record when it comes to Ohio jerrymandering, this is the previous districting, with Dem containment districts:


This is the current:


Obviously worse than the blue states, right?

 

[No-Eyed Square Guy]

Maybe your eighties is just too fucking old to be president.

The founders were mostly dudes in their twenties. Different times, so that signified adulthood in a way it doesn't anymore, but they weren't almost dead.

Leaders should probably be about 50. You don't get any smarter after that, and by then you should have become fully yourself, learned to stop believing propaganda aimed at youth, etc.

Unfortunately our fifty-year-old politicians and corporate guys—who are, in fact, in charge, and did the "Great Awokening," and ruined the internet, etc.—are remarkably stupid and evil. So we symbolically protest by voting for the still slightly animated corpse of Trump.

Democrats are going to die from political blue balls if they can't make real gains in the midterms.

I don't have specific examples off the top of my head but every once in a while you do hear about people doing obvious penetration testing on things like power plants, even shooting at and destroying equipment in some cases
