Interesting if true.
I can't see Muhammad and Abraham paying up though.

Found this about the bill (haven’t read the text).

Sounds like there’s a variety of carve outs in the bill to prevent what she’s suggesting. It sounds believable as it’d mean the bill wouldn’t really change much anything and just be an act of virtue signaling which politicians love.

I'd wager Nancy Pelosi is glad to step down from the speaker of the house, makes this story easier to contain as peepers leave you.

She probably has no more fucks to give and it must have finally sunk in that it's not worth fighting with her own alcohol induced dementia just to herd retarded gay cats.

She probably welcomes stepping down with open arms.

As for her faggot husband and hammer fetish, it's obvious that with midterms done there's no more point in choking the story by making shit up about huwhite supremacist violence. They'll report some truth with a very small mouth like with Hunter's laptop and never address it again.

Say it ain't so

Mounting concerns in US and Canada over Chinese police hubs and people allegedly spying for China. In the last few days alleged spies have been caught, accused of stealing sensitive information and passing them to entities in China.

This is why I laugh at people who say that Russia is the greatest threat. They don't make all of our shit, for one, and they definitely haven't done anything like this.

Imagine leaving a totalitarian state just to find out the country you settled in is allowing said state to enforce their laws in the borders of a foreign country, especially the one you're in.

Doesn't sound constitutional. That would be the government literally telling a religious organization how it has to practice religion or cease to be legally considered one per the rights specifically granted to religions

IRS would end up provoking federal lawsuits real quick

Funny you mention that, there's also Obama-era SCOTUS jurisprudence on this, Hosanna Tabor v. EEOC. The Court unanimously decided that "federal discrimination laws do not apply to religious organizations' selection of religious leaders".

So no, the government does not get to tell religions who they may or may not have as ministers.

As far as practices go, they've also decided they can only prohibit certain actions conducted by a religion as long as it's not targeting said religion itself. For example, you can be a Cthulhu cultist, but you cannot commit abductions and human sacrifice and claim religious exemption.

And then there’s the allegations of making foreign leaders their puppets. All that’s left is for people to cheer on and aid and abet China and the CCP just to bring down the government back home they hate, and you’ll have all the tools necessary to destroy whatever political position you may have.

Russia still has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world though. China currently owns our president and nearly all our military equipment has been sent to Ukraine to fight Russia. China could take Tiawan by force tomorrow if they wanted to and Biden wouldn't do jack shit because of the dirt they have on him. They won't though, because apparently the beating Russia is taking in Ukraine has scarred them shitless.

Since China's never going to do anything more than try to our steal technology and make cheap knockoffs that barely work, I still think Russia is the greater threat.

Federal judge slammed on Twitter for striking down DeSantis' anti-woke legislation: 'Dumber than dirt'

Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker was slammed on Twitter after he struck down Florida's anti-woke law by appearing to imitate liberal catchphrases.

A federal judge struck down the Florida Stop Woke law



It's pretty typical of DeSantis' theatrics at this point. Everything he does gets overturned by a judge after he puts on a big show about how Florida is definitely saved this time.

I think the only reason "Don't Say Gay" is still around is because the State actually does indisputably have the authority to set school curriculum and that's a lesson ol' Blunderbuss needs to learn.

Dem judges. Not even once.

What about twice?

[VeteranOfTheRetardWars]

So now NBC out of San Francisco is reporting SFPD body cam footage shows it was Paul Pelosi who opened the door, not the cops.

NO SHIT SHERLOCK!
NO FUCKING SHIT!
The whole situation is ridiculous, we all know what happened lmao.

In general, the current Republicans are more comfortable being the opposition party than they are actually governing. It's a long-standing problem. The thing about being an opposition party is that it's harder to enforce party discipline and put forth a unified platform with concrete plans, because the only requirement for members of an opposition party is to be oppositional, so many of them choose stupid and counterproductive ways of expressing their opposition to Dem politicians and policies. Lots of them get sidetracked into wasting time and energy on partially or totally irrelevant cultural issues, when the truly important thing and the one things they should focus on is, first, seizing political power, and second, wielding that political power to reward their friends and punish their enemies. All else follows from those two things. Dems don't make that mistake, at least not to the same degree. They're all about rewarding their friends, and they're all about punishing their enemies. The closest Republicans come is tax cuts and subsidies to corporate donors and the Chamber of Commerce. Dems are very very comfortable wielding the apparatus of governmental against their political opponents. Republicans let themselves be bound by concerns of political norms and precedents and legality. The Dems don't acknowledge that any of those things are valid and binding if they get in the way of their pursuit of policies and power to their own benefit and their enemies' detriment.

TLDR, something something Prisoners' Dilemma. If the Republican party doesn't learn to start responding to Democratic power plays in like fashion, they're going to be doomed to always be the opposition as they dwindle into irrelevance and the Dems accelerate their plans to remake the landscape of America culturally, politically, legally, and economically and any and all objections they make are swept away or ignored. The current Republican party needs to die so that a political party comfortable with winning and governing can rise. The biggest problem with that is that both the Democratic and Republican parties would desperately try to smother any genuine right-wing party in the cradle. They're both invested in the two-party system and they're terrified of genuine populism and nationalism. And they're right to be, it threatens their political power and their economic dominance as well as threatens them on a personal level.

Republicans govern with a sword, Democrats govern with a machine gun. It is a party that is often on defense, rather then offense in terms of legislation. Rarely once an issue is "decided" by their rivals does the party claiming to represent American conservatives actually do anything to reverse it. I believe that if the Republicans started responding in kind to moves by the Democratic Party it could lead to further political polarization as well as the destruction of any idea of a true right-wing party since many wouldn't see a need for it.

Personally I would rather take the risks involved in that way forward then continue to put faith in politicians who change their principles every election and discard their beliefs once some kind of law is passed. You can't fight a "culture war" if the people claiming to be your champions never truly fought for you in the first place.

While searching for news articles about this, I came across a year-old Snopes article regarding a previous time Biden relied on cheat sheets. Snopes concluded the claim was true, but claimed that using notes was "not new".

Using a cheat seat like that to have to follow basic instructions while not realizing that America re-elected a teleprompter and note card reader from Obama and Trump’s years says a lot about why we need to improve our literacy rates in this country.

That's barely scratching the definition of "cheat sheet" and "notes." That's almost full on preschooler-level commands.

Joe Biden keeps getting more and more unique as an American leader.

Like clockwork. Shall we expect the same pattern, where this horseshit gets dragged out for as long as possible to maximize the cloud being cast over Trump? The upside would be Trump being martyred over this harassing behavior and coming out looking cleaner than ever after he’s (inevitably) exonerated after yet another go-around with the feds putting their fingers in his asshole.


I thought this mousy little faggot got his leash yanked hard after his politically-cancerous raid on MAL, rendering him useless on his own? The orders coming from the WH itself is my guess…

And let’s *totally* ignore the coincidence of this being announced after Trump’s 2024 kickoff and the House GOPe making plain their intent to investigate Biden and family. If Trump is sitting on footage of Garland’s diversity-hired field flunkies staging a “crime scene” in his home, he would be smart to release it as strategically as possible.

The house needs to start their impeachment of him and start investigating his son-in-law for pushing his racist bullshit in schools.
