I don’t know much of anything about Moldbug, but I do know that the school board in my town basically runs the whole town. And the same is true for several other towns around here.I cannot give enoughto you. Read some Moldbug, blackpill yourself on that awful Norman Rockwell populism.

They can have a lot of power over teachers and curriculum in the school. Especially shit like trannies reading porn to students in the library.
There’s a reason people spend $50k running for school board elections, despite the job paying fuck all.

A lot of the pushback on the TikTok ban is either in the form of “American companies do it too” or “they want to suppress the pro-Palestine voices by banning the social media site most commonly used by the youth” from what I’m seeing.
But I don’t see how bad thing A (American companies collecting data on everyone) should prevent congress from passing a bill that cuts down on bad thing B (foreign governments collecting data on everyone). Sure it’s not a fair world until we ban both, but the law can only move so fast, often just one bill at a time. And imagine the pushback we’d be seeing if congress tried to pass a bill preventing American companies from collecting personal and selling it, while not addressing the foreign governments that are also doing that first? This is just a first step I think. There are certain things that the world would be a better place without, and it’s my belief that companies and governments that collect your data via the internet are one of them. I can use Facebook container, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, and a VPN but it’s stupid that we have to do these things if we want privacy on the internet and I truly would like to live in a world where I didn’t have to someday.
And regarding the point that the TikTok ban is being supported by center-libs now (when they didn’t support it in 2020 when Trump was for it) to suppress pro-Palestine messages: yeah probably. Just like Trump probably flipped on his TikTok stance this month because he has a buddy invested in ByteDance. None of these politicians are genuine, none of their motives are pure, clearly they all can be bought in some way or form, but we have to look at the end results of this bill rather than the secret “why” behind their reasons for supporting or rejecting it. Even if someone was voting in favor of the bill because they hated TikTok’s color scheme and they wanted it to fail solely because of that, that’s stupid as fuck, but ultimately it’s still a win for privacy on the internet.

Washington — A Fulton County judge on Wednesday tossed out several counts brought against former President Donald Trump and five others in the case involving an alleged attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
The brief order from Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee states that six of the counts in the 41-count indictment returned by a Fulton County grand jury in August must be quashed. Of those six counts, Trump was charged with three of them.
Joining Trump in the challenge to the six counts were former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and lawyers Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Ray Stallings Smith and Robert Cheeley. All had pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against them.
Steve Sadow, Trump's lawyer, said the court's decision to quash the counts is the correct one.
"The ruling is a correct application of the law, as the prosecution failed to make specific allegations of any alleged wrongdoing on those counts," he said in a statement. "The entire prosecution of President Trump is political, constitutes election interference, and should be dismissed."
Eastman's attorney, Buddy Parker, said in a statement that "the court stated clearly the state failed to provide what exactly in the U.S. and Georgia constitutions the defendants solicited the public figures to violate, a clear error. We await the state's position on its intention in moving forward on the remaining charges." Allyn Stockton, Giuliani's local lawyer, said the quashing of the six counts was expected, as "there simply was not enough detail to put the defendants on notice of what to defend against."
"The court's concern is less that the state has failed to allege sufficient conduct of the defendants — in fact it has alleged an abundance. However, the lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned's opinion, fatal," McAfee wrote.
He said that though the six counts as written contain "all the essential elements of the crimes," they "fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e. the underlying felony solicited." Additionally, they don't give the defendants enough information to prepare their defenses "intelligently," McAfee wrote, as they could have violated the Georgia and U.S. Constitutions "and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways."
McAfee made clear that his finding does not mean the entire indictment against Trump and the 14 other co-defendants is dismissed. Instead, he said that Georgia prosecutors can seek a new indictment supplementing the six counts.
Trump was charged with 13 counts in the sprawling racketeering case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in August. He has pleaded not guilty. Eighteen others were charged alongside the former president for their roles in an alleged scheme to reverse the results of Georgia's election, but four have since accepted plea deals.
McAfee's order comes while he is weighing a separate request from Trump and eight of his co-defendants to disqualify Willis and her office from prosecuting the case because of an alleged improper relationship between Willis and Nathan Wade, one of the special prosecutors working with the district attorney's office.
Wade was hired to work on the case involving Trump in November 2021. Michael Roman, a longtime GOP operative, alleged in a bombshell filing in January that the relationship with Willis began before Wade's appointment. Roman claimed that the district attorney financially benefited from the relationship, saying Wade paid for numerous getaways using income he received for his work with the district attorney's office.
Willis and Wade acknowledged in a court filing last month that they were in a romantic relationship, but said it began in early 2022 — months after Wade's hiring — and ended last summer.
Still, the bid to disqualify Willis and the Fulton County District Attorney's Office from the case set off a series of fiery proceedings before McAfee last month. Willis and Wade separately took the stand to answer questions about their personal lives and financial dealings.
The two said they split expenses related to their trips and refuted claims of wrongdoing. McAfee is set to rule this week on whether to remove Willis and her office from the case.
He has also been charged in a pair of federal cases brought by special counsel Jack Smith in Wasington, D.C., and South Florida. The D.C. case involves alleged efforts to subvert the transfer of presidential power after the 2020 election, and the Florida case involves his alleged mishandling of sensitive government documents after leaving the White House.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and is seeking to delay any trials in the cases until after the November presidential election. He is set to face off against President Biden in a 2020 rematch.

McAfee's ruling
The six counts relate to various alleged attempts to solicit state officials to violate their oaths of office, both to the Georgia Constitution and the U.S. Constitution. The judge wrote that the state failed to specify what those violations were, saying the allegations were "so generic as to compel this Court" to quash the six charges."The court's concern is less that the state has failed to allege sufficient conduct of the defendants — in fact it has alleged an abundance. However, the lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned's opinion, fatal," McAfee wrote.

Trump facing multiple cases
Trump's prosecution in Fulton County is one of four he is facing in federal and state courts. A trial is set to begin this month in New York City stemming from allegations he falsified business records in connection with a "hush money" payment to suppress damaging information about him before the 2016 presidential election.He has also been charged in a pair of federal cases brought by special counsel Jack Smith in Wasington, D.C., and South Florida. The D.C. case involves alleged efforts to subvert the transfer of presidential power after the 2020 election, and the Florida case involves his alleged mishandling of sensitive government documents after leaving the White House.

A lot to unpack here. it seems small, only six counts, but the reasoning is that it fails to identify specific crimes that occurred and is being bounced back to Willis to amend. Reading a bit deeper, this will determine how he rules on the rest and how he rules on the disqualification. He has taken the six most egregious cases and is throwing it back at them as a "Do you have -anything- to actually back these up?", and if the answer is no then he can disqualify without any issues since its clear this is just going to become a train fire.

Oh certainly. To explain his actions:
Always keep in mind "All judges are cowards". He has, up till now, been showing to be sympathetic towards Willis but not be a hardcore ideologue like Erdogan. The reason why being simple, Willis has the full, if tepid, backing of the Uniparty and bucking them without damn good cause is just not worth it. Yet, with Willis falling apart at the seams and her case made up of little more than hopes and dreams he now has an out.
This? This is making sure it -is- an out. If she can't back it up then he can rest assured that when he kicks her off the case and it goes to someone else, that someone else will see it and drop it. He gets to wash his hands of the case without ever being the one to actually end it.

I mean you can colonize Mars pretty well but there won't be a way to terraform it in less than a few thousand years with current tech.

*Smacks lips* Imma gonna speak truth to powah mugh niggaaaaaaaaaaaaa. MUH DIIIIIICK!And then Don Lemon was going to host a talk show on Twitter, with his first guess being Elon. Like the liberal faggot he is, he attacks Elon and supposedly accuses him of taking ketamine and other liberal talking points, and then Elon fires him. Another example of liberals always biting the hands that feed them, you do not give them any power or notoriety.
Gets told to fuck off after gaslighting to the moon.
FREE SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!!
Funny how when you aren't part of your conclave of faggots you suddenly don't seem to get asspats for existing. Good luck with that.
Jesus fuck Rudy... leave the fucking country at this point unless Trump doesn't get robbed and can get you a pardon. I see this is the punishment for making New York not be a perpetual shithole for a small part of it's history.

We could probably be terraforming Mars right now if we hadn’t invested over $20 trillion in niggers instead of our space programs and technology in general. Remember Whitey on the Moon? Or how we have to reconsider doing space missions because it might hurt the feelings of a tribe where almost everyone is an alcoholic? Social spending has hurt the country more than we know. Focusing on the hurt feelings of shitskins has hurt the country more than we know.

Man, I got the "privilege" of sitting in a waiting room with CNN on the television. I was passively listening to it and I finally understand why TDS has become an actual mental illness. CNN and other "News" channels are just 24/7 reprogramming and orange man bad. They literally are practicing the idea that if I lie is told enough it becomes "true" regardless if it is true or not. I forget which dictator/propagandist said it.

yeah iirc the current back-of-the-napkin is that domes on Mars are the least really impossible thing, since there's water there already at least
moon domes needs water shipped there and then you have to go full aquautism like the Fremen
