[6MillionCoofs]

what the fuck is she doing other than wasting money?

Simple. When Trump gets found guilty in NY she is the only option

What day does the Tucker Carlson interview with Putin get published?

Its supposed to drop Thursday, tomorrow.

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

Ok, can someone explain the whole Nevada thing to me?

Trump is running in the caucus so he can't be on the ballot?

What the fuck does that even mean?

ACLJ did a quick rundown I caught part of, might be screwing this up-
apparently Nevada normally has a caucus for the GOP, there was a recent bullshit rules change to swap to a normal primary, local GOP said "eat me" and did a caucus anyway (which Trump won), Trump is currently off the ballot in Nevada (see also recent bullshit rules change) but Nimarata isnt

I think "the only name on the ballot and still lost" is levels of JEB! we've never dreamed possible.

It looks like ole Tucker has pissed off the Euro-Cucks something fierce. For just talking to Putin some EU types are urging the member states to put Tucker on a permanent travel ban and to fine him for "assisting a war criminal".

You know, cause talking to the enemy is like being the enemy I guess.

[General Emílio Médici]

Like I said, this makes no sense under the explanations given. Unless you look at this as Tucker putting a light on what Putin is actually like and his explanation of his ideology and aims being negative due to tying the propaganda aparatus into not being able to blame the Russians for anything bad they can.

I don't understand how people in europe even function anymore. It's a glorified wagie cage where illegals rape and rob and destroy, it tries to survive on the plebs going from tourist location to location to pretend they're cultured, having shit entertainment, and watching gay soccer that's already been rigged by arab and albanian mobs. All while old pedos in Brussels override everything resisting the globohomo plan.

 

[Jaimas]

I started off a centrist.
I lurched toward Obama because bush signed the fucking patriot act and was cancelling fucking singers.
I didn't vote in 2012 because Romney made his fortune selling American jobs to China.
I voted for Trump in 2016 because he promised to do what Obama failed to do, and to UNDO the damage Obama did.

Then the democrats went absolutely berserk
They declared open war on freedom of speech because they lost the public debate.
They started debanking all and sundry.
I voted even harder for Trump in 2020 despite the GOP refusing to act on the neofascism rising on the left.
That election was then stolen.
At this point I'm EXTREMELY hard right.
I'm wide awake to the rank corruption from our elections to the judiciary, and have soured on "democracy" as a psyop by the permanent bureaucrats to dissuade people from stringing them from lamp posts with the prospect of "next election".

I will still vote in the hope that I am wrong, but will not be expecting anything less than a tripling down on lawlessness and election theft.

My own experience, despite a different perspective, is analogous:

I started a leftist - this is because I believe we have a personal responsibility to leave things better than how we found them.
I worked for the DNC from before I was even legally allowed to vote, mostly just doing little volunteer things like GOTV efforts.
I backed Dean in 2000, and then grudgingly went to Gore when he got fucked by the DNC.

This would begin a pattern where I worked for them, but at the same time, was witnessing, in real time, from within the proverbial machine, how they were actively fucking us - anything to prevent us from having actual representation. Shut the fuck up and vote for this do-nothing cockbrain who's been in office longer than your parents have been alive and has literally brought nothing but misery and failure to your state.

After 2008, I left the Dems and went independent. I'll never forget the exact moment: I got contacted by some shit-butt from the DNC asking if I wanted to go to a fundraiser Obama would be speaking at, and the fundraising dinner was something like $350 a head at some fancy-ass restaurant in Manhattan, and asking if I could donate on top of this. When I asked how I was supposed to afford this, given I'm a blue-collar boy who relied on public transportation, I was told that I could just send them a donation for $50 instead. My response was to tell them that considering I'd just been fucked for several hundred dollars by Obamacare (as I didn't have the ability to afford the junk insurance required), perhaps the President should buy me dinner.

The DNC stooge was not amused, and hung up when I asked when I could expect my check.

Fundamentally, my political positions have not changed. I still believe in personal responsibility, liberty above all, and freedom of speech and association. I am also as equally against censorship as I was when I started, because as my mom once so eloquently put it when she was roasting John Ashcroft: "It'll never stop at tits."

What has changed is that my filters are off and I no longer have the capacity for bullshit I did. I'm not fooled by the establishment, having worked in it as long as I have, and since they fucked over our earlier attempts to reform the party from within, I'm a political hobo.... Or would have been if it hadn't been for some crazy fuck with a spray tan from my home state.

When the entire message the Dems had for his opponent was "vote for me or my opponent will explode planet Earth," and said opponent is the woman who literally represents everything I fought against as a Dem in the machine, I figured: "You know what? Fuck it. Explosions sound awesome right now. Vote for the orange man and let's Michael Bay this bitch."

Turns out, I was not alone. A lot of my fellow former Dems wound up in his camp. And they were champing at the bit for the opportunity to turn around and give a thorough dicking to an establishment power-structure that had kept them down for a generation or longer. And unsurprisingly, the Repubs we met were cool with that and had cool stories of their own.

I then stuck around because doing so pisses off the people I hate most, and that's mostly how I measure the effectiveness of my policy choices in this era. The more assmad they are over it, chances are the better for the American people it is under the hood.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

I really don't even care about watching Tucker or any interview with Putin but holy shit did THEM! get pissed af about that.
was there anything like that for buttmad that time the USA journoguy interviewed Ayatollah Assaholah back in the day?

 

[Kuritan Deplorable]

I don't understand how people in europe even function anymore.

That's the fun part, they don't! They have a few manufacturing standouts, and otherwise subsist off circular bullshit. All their governments are barely functional both in regulation and permanent edifice but also in electoral positions. They're a fiscal disaster, with the Euro being a marginally functional currency for its member states, almost entirely supported off the back of the remaining German export industry and whatever it is France does besides not being afraid of nuclear power. Its a miracle that their member states even remain socially stable with youth unemployment rates in many of them being astronomical.

This rolls down into the general populace, living lifestyles backed by more and more unsustainable government spending just to cover living in a run down flat and working a dead end services job. The coming population crunch is going to absolutely murder whatever's left.

Slight correction. The state government decided to hold a primary with mail-in voting because caucuses restrict voter turnout(make it harder to rig). The state GOP told them to shove it and declared that they will award delegates through the regular caucus and took any candidate who participated in the primary off the caucus ballot. Nikki Haley decided to sign up for the primary and Trump decided to forgo the primary and let people vote for him in the caucus. My guess would be that Haley thought she was a shoe-in to win the primary without Trump and it would look good to say she won something. The primary was held yesterday and the caucus will be held tomorrow, so Trump has not yet technically won.

 

[Myrtle the Turtle]

Even if the interview is a softball (which I think it will be) the amount of salt mined from media outlets seething at Tucker is worth it alone for the trolling factor. Since its Putin, their CEOs will make them cover it since no American has interviewed Putin post Ukraine war. I think Oliver Stone was the last to get a good interview with him and that was pre-covid in '16-'17.

Imagine losing to "no one" and still thinking your the best choice for the role.

If we didn't know Haley as a uni-party stooge before...

No, his VP, Lord Vivek of the Tribunal, will slide into America’s DMs and trigger the libs even more

Several rank-and-file Border Patrol agents criticized the Senate funding bill released late Sunday, telling the Daily Caller News Foundation that the legislation would allow the illegal immigration crisis to continue.

The Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 allocates funding toward adding more personnel to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), detention beds to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities, expelling certain illegal migrants and enhancing fentanyl interdiction. Four rank-and-file Border Patrol agents told the DCNF that the “catch and release” of illegal immigrants will continue if the bill is implemented, because it allows for the release of family units and single adults that show a credible fear of persecution should they return home. (RELATED: Senate Border Bill Would Hand $1.4 Billion To NGOs Helping Illegal Migrants)

​

“Now that I’ve seen more of it, they can respectfully go fuck themselves. The more I’m seeing the more it just puts what they’ve been doing in writing. You want to shut this down, it’s real easy. Team up [the Department of Defense] with DHS and let us enforce like we were supposed to,” one agent told the DCNF.

“I feel like we are the only nation in the world that is this dumb about the border. Maybe it’s because we haven’t,” the agent added.

The Border Patrol union has endorsed the portion of the deal providing funding for border security, saying its “not perfect, but far better than the status quo.”

The bill would mandate that one member of each family released from Border Patrol custody will be tracked using Alternatives to Detention, which uses ankle monitors, phones and wrist watches to monitor them while in the country, according to the bill.

Andrew “Art” Arthur, who serves as a resident fellow in law and policy for the Center for Immigration Studies, told the DCNF that migrants will be released if they claim to have a fear of returning to their home country without seeing an immigration judge.

“Catch and release is absolutely happening,” Arthur said.

In recent years, Border Patrol has recorded high levels of illegal immigration. Agents recorded more than 2.2 million encounters of migrants crossing the southern border illegally in fiscal year 2022, a new record, more than 2 million in fiscal year 2023 and more than 629,000 between October and January, according to federal data.

“It’s a load of bullshit,” a second agent told the DCNF. “We don’t need a border bill, we need to enforce the laws on the books.”

“Unaccompanied minors and families released, that’s unacceptable. They need to be removed,” the second agent added.

​

The bill also allocates funding for the construction of a “steel bollard pedestrian barrier” along the southern border, but fails to mandate erecting a wall.

A third agent described the bill as “horseshit,” in a statement to the DCNF.

A fourth agent described the release of families and certain single adults with credible fear claims as “BS.”

“Another loophole that aliens are going to abuse,” the fourth agent said.

Neither DHS nor the offices of the bill’s negotiators immediately responded to the DCNF’s requests for comment.

In a statement Sunday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas praised the Senate deal.

“The bipartisan agreement in the Senate is tough, fair, and takes meaningful steps to address the challenges our country faces after decades of Congressional inaction,” Mayorkas said. “It would allow DHS to remove more quickly those who do not establish a legal basis to remain in the United States, reducing the time from years to months.”

“It would expedite protection and work authorization for those with legitimate claims. It would provide flexibility to respond to changing dynamics at the border, including temporarily prohibiting border entries for certain individuals when encounters are extremely high. It also delivers much-needed resources to support and expand the DHS workforce after decades of chronic underfunding, and it further invests in technology to help prevent fentanyl from entering our country at ports of entry,” he added.

It makes perfect sense. It’s why Assange is where he is and why the J6 morons are where they are. It’s why Tucker isn’t at FOX anymore. It’s because an example must be set. If you do what you know they don’t want you to do, if you do what they tell you not to do, if you defy them, or in any way make them look foolish, then an example must be made of you because if they don’t then other people will see that you’ve gotten away with it and will be emboldened to misbehave as well.

This should apply to the “border standoff”, such as it is, as well. The fact that the Feds haven’t made an example of Abbott YET really activates the ol’ almonds.

If they push too far there, they risk losing even more control of the situation. Everyone and their mom was tweeting about "Civil War 2" the other day. There are a lot of eyes on the situation both on the left and the right. I don't think a second Civil War will happen, but all the ingredients to cause one is right there. The Biden administration has to tread very carefully. They've already fucked Europe and Texas economically. There isn't much more they can do without going full mask off and start shooting people.

Texas is pretty diversified in its GDP. They also do a lot of tech stuff too.
