Can't speak for anyone else but myself, but for me was because of the vaccine itself due to my anthrax vaccine experience. How it was handled just strengthened my resolve.

Hope you weren't like me and wasn't put on the Gen-0 shit trials.

"Feeling like your guts are full of fire ants and your muscles are filled with ground glass is perfectly normal! And everyone gets blinding migraines for no reason!"

Like I said, I'm the Ron DeSantis of A&N. I'm still trying to double check how I am being misunderstood. I know I'm not the smartest person, but Jesus, something is odd.

Let me come in and be a bit of an old teacher.

Your original post was something I have seen a lot. It was a concurring opinion -written- as a contradicting opinion.

If COVID was a hoax, explain the 500,000 that died in the US alone.

This was intended as an "If they believe X, then how could Y be true", but you left off the 'they'. So it reads not as something directed at another group and instead reads as directed at the poster you were responding to. While your next response to their response had "they", it was clear at that point you had not realized how your first statement was read. So when people began defending the original poster your responses came off increasingly unhinged and dislocated from the argument. They actually weren't, and you were making good points, but at that point, it was two entirely separate conversations.

My advice, always ensure your post has a clear subject. Especially when responding to what amounts to the start of a mini conversation within the larger thread.

It's the same thing that's going on with the Twitter Files. They're mostly complicit and the ones that aren't are terrified to mention it.

I want everyone to watch this video by British journo Peter Hadfield about how TV cuts and edits videos to lie and deceive and how to recognize when they're doing it, then re-watch that 60 Minutes clip with Greene again.

Just remembered an additional detail.

Tesla offers a very cheap lease of their car at 350 a month with 4k down, it's comparable to a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. However there's a 15k miles per year cap and uniquely among car manufacturers, they do not offer a buyout at the end of the lease. This means you end up spending 18k renting a car that will be worth 25k at the end of the lease and don't even get to keep it, the money is just thrown away.

Auto manufacturers do this sort of thing as an employee perk (heavily discounted lease with no buy option and a tight mileage limit) to build the used market. I suspect that's the main reason Elon is doing it for the general public. Used teslas are hard to come by.

Probably, this is the first time they've been near affordable for a lease. I'm seeing used teslas but they cost about the price of a new one with the incentives. The model 3 is also due for a refresh later this year.

Why do people say that Trump's wall was never built? It's literally right there. Do not forget that legislation after legislation hindered completion of the wall during his whole term. It's rather inspiring that any of it was able to get started through all the bullshit. Even so, the Wall itself was meant to be a long term policy, not a one and done structure. Nobody else is willing to finish what he started.

Because the Uniparty found paying Ann Coulter to scream "YOU KNOW HE STILL HASN'T BUILT THE WALL" harms Trump, and more importantly harms MAGA populism, and thus that stupid cunt's going to do it every time she's on the air until 2028.

I could've done that for free.

This is why you're poor. Never do anything for free someone will pay you to do. You can do a whole career with if if you know how to play the game with government grants.

Let me get paid to outright tell lies or be a mouthpiece. I have standards. Ann Coulter needs to stop grifting. Her only status of fame was pointing out the media's dissonance with reporting race. Even so, that was a flash in the pan popularity.

Kiwis are better than the Jewish spaces where you either have to suck the troon girl cock or have to talk about life with someone who spends 11 hours a day studying torah and living off gibs. Israelis are slightly better but still the main channels are either troon/tel aviv left winger infested or right wingers who have their slogans but nothing else.

at least on KF I can have discussions with people and explain things to them with a chance of learning something new and coming to a new consensus. They might call me a kike but I've been called worse.

There's a famous story that I think @Vyse Inglebard and I would agree with.

The finest line of poetry ever uttered in the history of this whole damn country was said by Canada Bill Jones in 1853, in Baton Rouge, while he was being robbed blind in a crooked game of faro. George Devol, who was, like Canada Bill, not a man who was averse to fleecing the odd sucker, drew Bill aside and asked him if he couldn't see that the game was crooked. And Canada Bill sighed, and shrugged his shoulders, and said, 'I know. But it's the only game in town.' And he went back to the game.

BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Monday Finland will become the 31st member of the world’s biggest military alliance on Tuesday, prompting a warning from Russia that it would bolster its defenses near their joint border if NATO deploys any troops in its new member.

“This is a historic week,” Stoltenberg told reporters on the eve of a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels. “From tomorrow, Finland will be a full member of the alliance.” He said that he hopes Sweden will be able to join NATO in coming months.

The former Norwegian prime minister said that on Tuesday afternoon, “we will raise the Finnish flag for the first time here at the NATO headquarters. It will be a good day for Finland’s security, for Nordic security, and for NATO as a whole.”

Stoltenberg said that Turkey, the last country to have ratified Finland’s membership, will hand its official texts to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday. Stoltenberg said he would then invite Finland to do the same.

Finnish President Sauli Niinistö and Defense Minister Antti Kaikkonen will attend the ceremony, along with Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto.

“It is a historic moment for us. For Finland, the most important objective at the meeting will be to emphasize NATO’s support to Ukraine as Russia continues its illegal aggression,” Haavisto said in a statement. “We seek to promote stability and security throughout the Euro-Atlantic region.”

.

“We will strengthen our military potential in the west and in the northwest,” Grushko said in remarks carried by the state RIA Novosti news agency. “In case of deployment of forces of other NATO members on the territory of Finland, we will take addition steps to ensure Russia’s military security.”

The announcement of Finland’s entry comes just after Finnish voters gave a boost to conservative parties in a weekend election, depriving left-wing Prime Minister Sanna Marin of another term. Marin had championed her country’s NATO accession.

Fearing that they might be targeted after Russia invaded Ukraine a year ago, the Nordic neighbors Finland and Sweden abandoned their traditional positions of military non-alignment to seek protection under NATO’s security umbrella.

All 30 allies signed Finland’s and Sweden’s accession protocols. Turkey and Hungary delayed the process for months but have relented on Finland. Turkey has sought guarantees and assurances from the two, notably on tackling extremism. Hungary’s demands have never been explicit.

NATO must agree unanimously for new members to join. NATO officials are also keen to bring Sweden within the fold before U.S. President Joe Biden and his alliance counterparts meet in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius on July 11-12.

“Sweden is not left alone. Sweden is as close as it can come as a full-fledged member,” Stoltenberg said.
