You forgot the third answer: stop paying niggers to not work.

I mean I did read in like 2018 that the FBI produces their own cheese pizza. I searched now and couldn't find anything about it, so it could mean that I confused it with Operation Pacifier below or it's been scrubbed.

I know they use it as a honey trap, which has always been questionable since they're essentially exploiting the suffering of kids for 'a good cause', but I've not heard of them literally producing it. Even so, while that is utterly insane, it's still not as insane as just restarting the slave trade but with foreign kids. It's not even like the railroad where they traded hard labor for tickets to America and tricked people with unfair and exploitative contracts. These are kids so they had no say in coming over here at all.

The kids aren't white, so trafficking them into the USA defeats racism.

This is going to end in hispanics demanding reparations and talking about the rage in their ancestors' souls toward the white man 150 years from now.

Their fixation on him being a felon also underscores just how little they believe their own bullshit about black criminals being gud bois who just got done wrong.

Oh, no. Make no mistake. They are very consistent. If he were black they'd still be saying he's a good boy who did no wrong. Unless he were a black republican. Then they'd hate him even more than they do now.

Elon has been getting steadily more based and I love it.

He might as well be. He's been very centrist and even leaning left and everyone has treated him like he's extreme right wing ever since he dared to buy the DOJ's pet social media and clean out the roaches, and also ever since people realized a white guy was rich.

Might want to tune in here, wow.

Reminder that George Washington was a felon. I mean, that guy encouraged American chuds to rebel against the legitimate British government, and some experts cite him saying the n word. We can't allow a man like that to take the office of president.

Perhaps it's time to stop listening to people whose entire understanding of the world is based on children's fantasy stories?

 

[Dog-O-Tron 5000v5.0]

But the rest of the state has gradually been redpilled - quite literally, in this case - by NYC's never-ending fuck-ups. The ongoing shit-show has led Repubs to sweep local elections over and over again, harder each time, with the only Dems reliably making like out bandits being the ones that were doing their fucking job in the first place (like local assemblymen)

This was most demonstrated by the rebellion in the past year where Upstate mayors and county execs refused to take 'fugees from NYC, completely pissing off Eric Adams and Governor Karen. Even Democrats refused. See also a couple years back when Hoschul basically banned public carry of guns and Upstate county sheriffs said "Yeah, we're not enforcing that."

 

[The Ugly One]

Oh, no. Make no mistake. They are very consistent. If he were black they'd still be saying he's a good boy who did no wrong. Unless he were a black republican. Then they'd hate him even more than they do now.

If Trump had defeated Hillary in the 2016 primary, rather than the general, and won and governed on the exact same platform, the left would today worship him as a demigod.

 

[TheOtherSideofMakeBelieve]

I don't think people in general, or most Christians in particular, would have a problem with atheists/agnostics who just don't believe as a matter of personal belief. The problem is entirely with those who say "I don't believe, and no one else should either, gotta destroy religion so I can be smug about it."

In my personal experience at least this hasn't been the case. I live in the bible belt so things might be skewed but I've never been vocal about it, even with family. I don't lie about it if asked, and that kind of thing gets around so I was pretty regularly confronted about it. Had I not been on the powerlifting team in highschool I feel like I definitely would have been bullied and beaten over it (I was threatened over it). Thankfully I was a big guy with bigger friends so people just seethed.

It was a decision I came to on my own in middle school, probably before what I would call the 'enlightened atheist movement' started, definitely before I was aware of it, and even through elementary school I was always pretending to believe, assuming that my parents were right and I'd figure it out whatever they figured out when I got older

As far as morality goes, I don't have too much to say, just that I'm very glad to have been raised christian in a primarily christian society, and if somehow I came across definitive proof that there was no creator I'd take it to my grave

So, how was Trump's speech? I don't really have the 90 minutes free to listen to it, but I assume the "it was 10x as bad as Biden's debate performance!" from the media is pure cope?

Definitely cope. I've both listened to it and watched it. He has very mild slip-ups/stumbles on words maybe twice over the course of a 90 minute speech, the longest speech ever delivered at an American political convention. I would say it's too long but I think that was the point, to show that he can go the distance (and off the cuff, not improv but he wasn't just reading his script because talking heads were complaining that the speech didn't match the script they were given) while Biden struggles to work from 10:00-4:00. The closest he comes to a gaffe is before the speech he said he wasn't going to mention Biden and he did, but only once and he caught himself immediately

It does start off a bit low energy, and if you're just listening to it it might even sound weak. But if you're watching it it's an incredibly powerful series of moments when combined with the images and props. He's going into detail on being shot, and then talks about the firefighter who died before interacting with his uniform. If I had a real complaint/constructive criticism of the speech it would have been to somehow make this part more engaging for audio only but that's a very minor critique and it doesn't go on too long

The only other thing that I think is worth mentioning is that he made a joke that's absolutely going to be taken out of context. When he was president the Navy commissioned a ship from a Wisconsin shipyard and he joked that "[he's] trying to buy your vote" by promising more as part of his goal to embiggen the military

I don't listen to political speeches ever but obviously I liked it enough to listen to it twice, once while just sitting in my chair and watching it/chatting with my fellow farmers and then again while I was driving around for work yesterday. I didn't go out of my way to listen to it but Potentially Criminal watched it in its entirety on his Thursday stream and I didn't fast forward through it. It's definitely a long-ass speech so I heard things that didn't stick with me the first time around, whether it was from being distracted by chatting here or if it was just a lot going on, but I definitely enjoyed it both times, and "Your expectations aren't big enough" was a phenomenal line

Biden: "But Reddit told me I could legally order a hit on Trump because of some supreme court decision."

I doubt Biden even really knows what Reddit is. Granted, I wouldn't blame him regardless of his dementia.

 

[Calandrino]

On another note, I almost wonder if Kamala will wind up being the president for a short time before Biden's term is up.

That would be amazing. Imagine the first female president being two weeks of a hated diversity hire, taking over only because an old white man physically can no longer fill the role, then handing the reigns over to GigaHitler..

I still remember the Dems crying about “the rushed Trump vaccine”, there’s an alternate time line were Trump wasn’t cheated out of the election, this thread thinks anyone without twenty booster vaccines is a commie fag, and the Democrats want scientists burnt as witches.

I remember the early rumors that Captain Trips had broken out in China and everybody needed to stock up on masks NOW. But the MSM said that was nutty conspiracy talk, no cause for alarm.

 

[Glowing In The Streets]

I honestly can't grasp this strategy. "The assassination attempt failed so no big deal." Do they really think that's going to sway anybody?

Libtards are desperate
>Trump staged it
>the bullet didnt hit him
>The shooter was a Republican
>The SS is at fault
>He was asking for it
>its not even that bad
You are here
>it didnt happen, the videos are edited!

No lie, I kinda want to see a test drive of what Kamala being President would look like.

LOL! The left shitposters even on here (won't name them) can't do this.

 

[mandatorylurk]

longtime democrat congresswoman and one of the dumbest members Sheila Jackson Lee died of pancreatic cancer overnight. Her district is one of the most gerrymandered so it won’t be a pickup unless it’s an absolute drumming by Trump.

AOC posts an hour long (!!!!!) video to 'tell the straight truth'.

She starts out flat out lying that the debate didn't change anything.

Looks like it's all gaslight.

SHE CALLS TRUMP A NEONAZI AT 3:00!!!! HOW?!!?

I’m only on page 5576, but holy shit. How NAKED can you be, before that 3 minute mark? This is not only shocking, but appalling.

Your honor, we find the defendant guilty of being the 48th President of the United States.

It's incredible how much of the DNC's koolaid the progressive wing of the party drank. They apparently didn't get the memo that was merely slander and rhetoric.

 

[The Last Stand]

It's hilarious to me when they parrot the CoNvIcTeD fElOn line because it just betrays how little they understand or know about our history.

Most if not all of the founding fathers were essentially "un"convicted felons and all of them would have been hanged for treason for signing the Declaration.

I'm sure those same people in charge WOULD be felons or war criminals if the US government actually did their job and some intensive investigation.

 

[TJT]

As usual the atheist crowd, when confronted with this dilemma, fails to even realize the point behind it. Its not that "I need God to have intuition of what is right and wrong" its that you cant justify that intuition within atheism.

If the atheist says, "my moral framework is (for example) the golden rule--love your neighbor as you love yourself". They can certainly arrive at that conclusion and live that way. And they would be right to do so, but what they cannot do, is provide an objective reason for why their intuition is more valuable than anyone else's. It's completely arbitrary.

Another atheist may simply come along and say, "my moral framework is that the highest good is to cook puppies alive in a gas oven in accordance with my teacher, Dr. Ronnie Ralph." The atheist has absolutely no response to this that can separate his golden rule from Ronnie's on a level that exists external to himself. He can only sneed about how he feels inside, but cannot objectively justify either his rule or why he feels icky about the alternative. Its not about what your mom and kindergarten teachers told you made a good person. Its about what "good" IS, metaphysically.

Of course the real golden rule comes directly from Breezy Jeezy himself and the atheists always leave off the first part-- "love God with all your heart, and your neighbor as yourself". This is the only way to justify a moral claim from first principles such that you can condemn Ronnie as being a piece of shit and not ultimately be an arbitrary hypocrite in doing so.

Oh yes I do love it when atheists proclaim the moral framework that they intuitively sorted out all on their own. But this framework somehow parrots baseline Christian values to the letter.
