Genuinely bizarre and quite terrifying to be honest. We're staring over the Rhine and the Alemanni and Franks and Goths are pouring in and the people in charge who are supposed to be turning them back over are instead giving them citizenship to prop up their regime. Surely this won't end badly.

This has been going on for a long time friendo. How do you think the Kennedy brothers won senate? Their father greased the hands of border county sheriffs to escort Mexicans to the polls in order to vote for wonder boy geniuses JFK and RFK. That won them the last little bit they needed after gravedigging names in Cook County. The truth is the game was rigged from the start. We’re just witnessing the erosion of the last little bit of freedom there is under Democracy.

I remember back in the 80s one of my cousins got in a shitload of trouble with the IRS for not counting their cash tips, but that might have been a fuck you by the owners of the resturant they helped shut down by trying to force a union and just being a shithead in general towards management.

a lot of the shady ones do yeah, i remember a towing company (again in a shady area) demanding cash only. People don't seem to understand how shitty credit card processors are, especially to small businesses. you don't have the numbers for them not to fuck you over and all it takes is a handful of chargebacks and you're fucked. Unless you're part of a major chain its easier just to pay cash usually.

I love how none of the Simpsons writers have enough balls to side with trump or be an open conservative. I bet they all agree with Conan O'Brien about how wonderful Haiti is. John Swartzwelder could flip California red if he just announced his support for Trump.

non-Aryans always had a tough time with illiteracy and thats the only reason its a massive problem in the coming years. If i were you i'd actually take tips from them, especially our friends in Latin America for how to be able to survive in a country where double or triple digit inflation is the norm. Let's just say "saving it for a rainy day" is a fucking fools errand in a country where your bank account might be seized if the wrong soccer team wins and prices increase so quickly its a viable money saving tip to go grocery shopping on your lunch break because if you wait until after work the prices will have doubled.

So his conference panel was just about how conducting works? That’s very black of him.

It's more about how cool and universal the pentatonic scale is, which is also very black of him, but the kind of black I agree with.
Western classical music got uniquely up its own ass during its height.

Do you consider it's height to be Mahler's extremely specific giant hammer or more Schoenberg's Mashing Every Key In Random Order Is High Art?

As someone who has worked in a grocery store, I want to say on behalf of all grocery employees: if you use a check, you are literally worse than the blackest baboon nigger in all of nigger Africa.

That was breaking from theory. The height of theory autism was the 18th century Classicals, then the Romantics made good music for most of the proceeding century and the "modernists" made damn sure to take counter-punk retardation to the next level and make classical western music basically irrelevant for the foreseeable future. Unless it was composed by Stravinsky.

Another gold 2024 moment, the election can't come soon enough.

Jasmine Crockett sings ‘Hallelujah’ to Trump’s verdict and rips ‘broke people’ donors​

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) sang “Hallelujah” on Monday in response to a question about the recent guilty verdict in the Manhattan trial against former President Donald Trump and went on to attack his “broke” donors for supporting him financially.

In an interview on the Breakfast Club radio show, Crockett began singing joyfully after being asked about her thoughts on the former president’s conviction.

“Am I allowed to sing?” Crockett asked and then began singing, “Hallelujah!”

The Texas Democratic lawmaker went on to slam his supporters.

“Listen, you know, I mean, I guess it made it worse since those broke people decided that they was going to give they last $5 and donate to him and crash his website to the extent that he got a bunch more money just to pay for his appeals process, not to go into the election,” she said.

Crockett added, “So, it’s between Joe and it’s between Trump. And the fact that we have someone who has 34 felony counts worth of convictions, and literally there’s places — Eric Swalwell just brought this up in committee. He’s like, it’s a whole list of countries you can’t even go to. So how are you going to be the leader of the free world and you not even allowed to step foot in certain countries because you’re a convicted felon?”

On May 30, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records. After his verdict, his donation page was overloaded with traffic and crashed as his supporters attempted to donate to him. He raised a record $34.8 million from small-dollar donors in the hours after the announcement.

However, not all of his donations have been small-dollar amounts since the trial. Last week, he visited California and saw big-dollar donors in San Francisco, Beverly Hills, and Newport Beach.

Two Big Tech venture capitalists Chamath Palihapitiya and David Sacks, alongside Sacks’s wife, Jacqueline, held a posh $500,000 per couple fundraiser at their “Billionaires Row” mansion overlooking the San Francisco Bay. California lawyer and activist Harmeet Dhillon said $12 million was raised that night.

The Trump campaign and Republican National Committee raised a combined $141 million in May for the former president, which is up from April’s $76 million. Last Thursday, Trump claimed his campaign had raised $400 million since the verdict.

Geeze, Texas's metros really have become California. Side note, Jasmine Crockett should go back to Missouri and bleach her skin to fit that strong, white last name. People should vote State natives as representatives; at least they'll understand the culture of that state better than some import.

Confirming that Bidens had dirty money and dirty business dealing with a country that just spontaneously combusted into war?
They're going to try him for treason, right?
The media will apologise for calling it fake, right?
The FBI will admit they were wrong, right?
Hiding and covering up the laptop will be confirmed as media collusion, right?
There will be a new investigation to see if the election was stolen, right?
...right?

If the laptop is confirmed as real in a court of law, i don't know how that's no news? What's going on?

Currently the theory floating is that, best case scenario Hunter gets found guilty but gets a slap on the wrist purely for optics and to allow Joe to get his own lawyers together to come up with a plan to blanket Hunter of every bad he can do, but only AFTER the election since it helps him more to use his son getting convicted as "proof" Joe isn't corrupt.

Worst case scenario is Hunter gets a witty and the Left uses that acquittal to rebury the laptop from hell and demoralizes anyone from bringing Hunter to trial for anything else.
