Nice to hear it straight from the horse's mouth, but seriously, c'mon. Anybody who's not an NPC already figured that out eons ago.
 
I generally tend to agree, but at the same time if this were the case why bother reporting the negative test at all? Is it because they don’t want to come off as if Biden has “severe” symptoms?

Or maybe he really DID have COVID, but right as he came off it the dementia started getting worse.
When i had covid i got some minor brain fog and some memory issues after breathing returned to normal for a few weeks. Nothing major but i notice i would lose trains of thought that werent normal.

I can only imagine what it would do to someone with even minor dementia. Much less whatever Bidens situation is.
 
While the rank-and-file of Big Tech are True Believers, the actual people in charge are not. They are in it for long-term money and clout. The True Believers are all replaceable cogs.

There's a reason why I'm inclined to believe that Woke is going to be thrown under the bus by TPTB and the corporate oligarchs will just co-opt the traditionalists like they did with the far-leftists at the start of the previous decade.

They'll push for a Great Reset as they did before, but with some new superficial changes in the set dressing.

TPTB don't care if they get their neo-feudal dreams of a Great Reset using rainbows and drag queens or if they do so using crosses and Bibles so long as it comes to fruition in the end.

When Twitter's actual human users are pissed off enough, they'll get a hashtag trending and break through whatever barriers the Tranny Janny coders might have set up. Tranny Jannies then have to manually adjust the algorithm to suppress it again.

This happened during the Great Canadian Honkening when "Blackface Hitler" got trending worldwide.

The real test is going to be seeing how long it will trend. The longer it stays, the more likely that Big Tech is subtly changing their masks.
 
I don’t honestly know. My own projections showed Big Tech going down with the ship, kicking and screaming the entire time.

I can't explain it at all. They're supposed to be doubling down and threatening to murder anyone who supports Trump.
They'll go down regardless because they already lost all support right of center (and won't regain it) and will also lose the leftmost quarter if they shift.
 
Just like I suspected, the VA bill Jon Stewart was crying about, was refused by the GOP, since it had a bunch of direct spending for the Democrats.

The gimmick seems to be that Dems wanted the spending on veteran healthcare to be mandatory so the government would be required to fund it rather than being allowed to argue over the spending each year.

That just sounds like a good thing, it’d be creating a fund that could only be used to fund the treatment for exposure. The senate votes regularly on discretionary spending, deciding how much money to pour into different bullshit, so I’m not sure where the idea Dems would suddenly get to spend that money however they want is realistic.

Edit:
Main difference between the bill passed by the senate before and the one they voted against is this line about taxes. Which doesn't seem significant.

There's been talk about a Toomey amendment that sounds like it would have required the fund meant to help those with exposure treatment to be the only source for that treatment money, so if they went over the limit then it would mean no more treatment for those vets. Which sounds logical if you want to avoid the money being misused and also the kind of retarded thing a congressmen would try shoving in without thinking of what it would do.

The thing with Posobiec sounds odd and I don't get how it's a gotcha to point out treatment for exposure would become mandatory spending, nor does it really address how Republicans voted in favor of the mandatory spending previously in the last version of the bill.

I predict a Twitter mutiny happening behind the scenes. Twitter is hurting with Elon Musk backing out of their deal. It's only a matter of time before Big Tech starts imploding on itself against outcry.

The Great Reset relies on the abolishment of all meaning and identity to convert the human race into nifty bugmen who work and die in accordance to the corporate will. Religion is fundamentally against such tripe, however corrupted. You notice it now with Catholicism. The pope might be a bitch, but there are preachers who aren't having any of this bullshit.

It's also fucking impossible and would in reality lead to widespread military juntas if identity and morality were done away with. We naturally form authoritarian social structures and he who has bigger guns, more of them, and knows how to use them better wins. The corpos would unironically fund their own demise: security teams replacing police and military and all that.

I'm not seeing how this image you've linked is relevant to your point on whether or not the healthcare spending would be mandatory or discretionary, and I'm also not seeing where this addresses the actual question about whether or not a separate portion of the bill authorizes a large amount of discretionary spending that can be directed towards unrelated things.

The Woke faction has alot of problems and the biggest one is eating their own.

When times are good or stable the woke faction can be indulged with grievance studies. Infact what the prog and the woke wield what I woulc call soft cultural power.

But they are pager tigers IMO. Antifa can only exisit and function in friendly cities, any real break down would lead to the wokes brown shirts getting curbed, fuck look what an 18 year old kyle did.

Now lets see what we have happening we have president that cant give us the feel good shit like obama did, we had the fall of Afghanistan, and ukrain war, gas prices are high, inflation and recession no proper leadership and the woke faction is doing what.....talking about faggot shit.

We need domestic energy, and we need higher interest rates to stop the rise in the cost of living for everyone. meanwhile the prog faction will just scream about definitions on wikipedia and whine over and over again.

The great reset is a pipe dream IMO because what ever our "betters" imagine they have been caught flat footed time and time again.

Covid wasnt part of some plan it was chink "bioweapon" they let out by mistake. The chinese are not masters of the world they are facing a realestate/banking crisis that makes 08 subprime look like disney land.

Germany part of the masters of the EU? ahahaha they are worried about staying warm this winter

Even funnier about that was that their cognitive dissonance had them think that charging up to an armed person was a good idea. And all they did was FILM the dying corpse trying to be "save a nigga" in the worst way possible.

And the kicker: guy was a convicted pedophile!

Sorry feeling a bit scatter brained at the moment trying to read about this. But there doesn't seem to be any special spending in the bill for unrelated things, just the bit about creating this fund which wouldn't be allowed to be used for other things. If there were I'd think someone could indicate what part of the bill this pork or whatever was in.

The idea that this would open up a ton of unrelated spending seems like it's coming from Senator Toomey based on the idea that the fund being created could be used as a slush fund, but there's no explanation for how. It's making me just scratch my head how Republicans are going with this.
 
I will say, I don't think Pelosi's gonna get shot down as part of a democrat plan.

Not because I don't think there's people who want it or any shit like that, but because you cannot close the "murdering each other for clout" bottle once it's open.

I went into a longer screed earlier in the thread about them assassinating Biddle being unlikely for the same reasons, so I'll just post it here.
Not gonna happen. People can argue all they want about them having all the motive in the world, but that's not the problem; the problem is that once killing each other for political gains is on the table, absolutely all bets are off for good.

Not only would you have to convince an entire chain of would-be-responsible parties and security teams that it's better to look the other way as the one thing they're meant to prevent comes to pass, not only would you have literally hundreds of potential failure points. not only do you have to choose between saying that someone just waltzed right up and offed them (completely undermining security) or doing an Epstein (completely undermining credibility), not only do you have an extremely high risk that someone in the chain is going to be with another faction and break ranks and leak, but once "killing each other for political gain is okay" is in the democrat political options, it'll literally become kill or be killed. Anybody with half a brain against your faction now needs to see you as a literally existential threat. in turn, that means they must be ready to assassinate you, before you assassinate them.

Anyone with more than half a brain will be halfway over the horizon, causing even more of a competency drain. At best they'll be working "remotely" from a fortified bunker in new zealand, at worse they're now Enrico Hernandez the suspiciously yank-sounding upperclass spaniard who swears he's lived here in spain all his life, no he doesn't resemble the literally who congressman, have you SEEN this mustache? God forbid anyone fakes their death, and further heightens the hysteria. What you'll be left with are the people with more ambition than common sense, who will absolutely find ways to forgive themselves for murdering other democrats for power - he was racist, she was a threat to common decency, he threatened my rule.

Moreover, the number of people saying "Hans? Are we the Baddies?" will spike hundredsfold. The white house security will now become a sieve, and no one is going to want to be the fall guy for any of this.

Now add on taking on both of the other big powers at the same time to all this.
 
You can see all the changes to the PACT bill here: https://rules.house.gov/sites/democrats.rules.house.gov/files/CP-117HR3967EAS-RCP117-56.pdf

So really does look like a bunch of Republicans switched their votes for no reason as there's the one line difference.

Possibly related is a bill Manchin agreed to go along with a few days ago.

The reconciliation bill would invest more than $400 billion over 10 years, to be fully paid for by closing tax loopholes on the richest Americans and corporations, the senators said in a joint statement. It would reduce deficits by $300 billion over that decade, the senators said, citing estimates from nonpartisan congressional tax and budget offices.
Republicans may have gotten pissed off about this unrelated bill done through reconciliation (to override filibuster and allow bills to pass by simple majority) so the Republicans want to hold the PACT bill hostage, even if it's a bit fucked up.

The fuck's going on that Twitter is letting this go through?
Earlier in the day I saw a retweet of a video from 2016-2017 of Trump talking in Europe I think about energy shit, specifically German energy and the camera pans to the German delegation making faces at the speech and I think the jist was Trump saying the Germans are too reliant on Russia and the Germans refusing to see it.

And now today Germany is thinking about rationing energy...the trend might be related to that?
