No lie, I kinda want to see a test drive of what Kamala being President would look like.
I would love for Kamala to be president for a few months before losing the election because it would be the funniest way to ruin the "first female president" slot Hillary wanted

The best time-line would be Hillary running for president and loosing to Trump despite heavy fortification. Biden goes to greener pastures before Trump takes over and Kamala has so sit in as president to hand things over to Trump.
 
aww, is somewon a widdle sad over getting karma?

Also there's a big gap between getting people fired and deplatformed over saying that teaching toddlers about anal is inappropriate, and getting fired people advocating for the murder of the other party's presidential candidate immediately after an almost successful attempt.
Why are you actung like he's a liveral?

Funny how most of those libtard troon freaks didn’t get fired while the ones protesting Israel are getting their lives ruined…

Funny how the govt sat back and watched half the country burn down by niggers but protest Israel on a campus and you get party vanned.
 
I have been pilled after having many conversations with Euros, where they have contempt for our way of life, our filthy "capitalism" but then I point out that capitalism pays for their military and basically offloads the cost of all their social programs. Same song and dance every time. "But it's such a small percentage of your GDP to protect us, we're your allies!"

We could have the same social programs if we didn't have to maintain global hegemony via military dominance and the petrodollar. We don't need Middle Eastern oil, we maintain those supplies for our European Allies. We would be fine here, drilling in the gulf and fracking our own country. We'd be fine without Ukranian grain, but Europe would not. But again, we're stupid and blah blah blah.

You always hear people say shit like "Well, when America has a problem, everyone else has to feel it." And when your civilized nation or backwater shithole has a problem, our country has to send aid for it. Or has to send our people to die in some military intervention or proxy war for it. That's what alliances are, and it's fine when it works for both sides, but people forget that. So fix your shit Europe. You're a giant union, figure out how to stand up to a broke ex-superpower. We're coming up on nearly 80 years after the post-WW2 period and nearly 40 post-Soviet Era. How long will Americans be expected to subsidize your way of life?
This is extremely late, but I'm 200 pages behind and have to say something about this issue.

The Euros you are complaining about are the middle coffee class, the biggest snobs in existence. Their hatred for America is simply because they view Americans as commoners who are beneath them. Most Euros do not hold this view, while we will mock America and Americans for certain things like your obsession with guns and how loud you are we do this out of jest the same way we would mock a mate for having a girlfriend. btw yes I am including Britain in this as no matter how much we deny this we are still part of Europe.

Now give me all the clocks.

This has been my honest experience with european friends on steam and such. They joke about guns or obesity, I'll ask if they have a loicense for those jokes and ask how they cut their steaks, but ultimately we all hated the posh.
 
This is bullshit. I voted for Biden in the last election, but I will not vote Democrat in this election.

I will say this: Biden is based as fuck for not letting them bully him out of the end of his term (I hope he holds on for as long as he can, just to stick it to them.) I can understand forcing him out of the election so he won't cost them the rest of their seats (lol as if they have a shot at this point) It's not his fault they've been running on fumes for years, he never should have been run in the first place. How did they not have a replacement? EVERYONE KNEW.

I never thought I'd see a coup attempt in my lifetime, this shit is WILD. And the party is winning itself no favors by behaving this way so publicly with Biden. They've trotted him out on TV, a fucking dementia patient, for YEARS. How many times could the man not even find his fucking chair? Or get up the stairs? Or button his coat?

I still remember Hawaii burning down, where he giggled at the cameras when asked for comment and skipped away to go off the Delaware for his 90th vacation. I remember when Texas was burning last year, and he didn't even go up there to check on it when he was at the border, even though it would've been a 90-minute flight to see the damage and reassure the people because who cares? It's only the second-largest fire in the state's history.

Now they act surprised that he shows severe signs of cognitive decline and blame everything going badly on him, and a lot of the voter base isn't just pissed at him; they're pissed at the party. We all know he's not all there, man; he's whisper screaming at reporters about how everything is fine, and groceries are affordable, and inflation is down, even though it's not.

Only one person I know is willing to vote for Kamala—ONE—and that's because they're never Trumper. The others would vote for Trump before they'd vote for Harris or just won't vote at all. People who would vote for Biden would already vote for him, no one is "gravitating towards him". It's pure cope.

Biden is based for releasing his delegates and not just glad-handing them to whoever his handlers told them to, god bless him. His handlers tard-wrangled too close to the sun, and we're going to see an open convention the likes of which we haven't seen since the 60s. I am EXCITED. No one will like the outcome, but it will be a spectacle, and I am hyped.

California is horrendous. If you're familiar with San Francisco or know the extent of what goes on there, you will understand why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
2016, I was traveling the country, following the hippy jam band phish. I was so excited to see San Francisco, height and Asbury, the home of the Grateful Dead. I feared going to Chicago. Chicago was wonderful, I stayed with my friends at a hostel, it was a great time. Up at 4am after the show at Wrigly field, I was talking with strangers, who I assumed were also degenerate hippies like myself, given they were wearing tydies. The guy I was talking to asked if I was here for Pride. In my ignorant youth, high on acid, I asked "what band is that?"...
Then after he explained I realized I was surrounded by drugged sodomites. Still, it was a relatively peaceful experience.

San Francisco oth was insanely grotesque. Shoot up booths with 50 people waiting in line and signs on the booth saying needle disposal. Armed guards in the Carl's Jr with bullet proof glass. People arguing and screaming with demons. Absolute destruction and chaos amongst a cutely crafted city. That was probably my first sign to abandon my hippie life style and follow Christ.

CrowdStrike outage resurfaces debunked Trump conspiracy theory
The Washington Post (archive.ph)

When the booming Austin-based cybersecurity company CrowdStrike made headlines this week for causing a calamitous global outage, the response was quick and sharp from some supporters of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

They recalled that when he was president, Trump had blamed CrowdStrike for an alleged Democratic coverup in Ukraine, a narrative that was broadly debunked at the time but showed itself to still have legs. On social media Friday, fresh conspiracy theories blossomed about how and why the company triggered so much news in the immediate wake of Trump accepting the Republican nomination Thursday night.

There has been no evidence to suggest any link between the outage and the Republican National Convention. CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz said a defect in an update — not a cyberattack — caused the worldwide mess, grounding thousands of flights, disrupting 911 calls and delaying hospital procedures.

But the global woe brought unexpected new life to a conspiracy theory involving Russia, Ukraine and the Democratic National Committee that took up considerable oxygen during Trump’s presidency and figured prominently in his first impeachment inquiry.

CrowdStrike then seemed an unlikely candidate for political controversy. Founded in 2011 by two former McAfee executives, the company sells cybersecurity software to Fortune 500 companies and federal and state agencies. Its first product, Falcon, an update of which was cited for Friday’s outage, detects security breaches in Windows or Mac computers. The company also advises clients on how to improve their cybersecurity.

After a 2019 initial public offering, CrowdStrike cracked into the S&P 500 last month, a landmark the company said it had reached faster than any other cybersecurity firm.

While hawking its corporate services, CrowdStrike made its name investigating prominent hacks. In 2015, CrowdStrike linked a cyberattack on Sony Pictures to North Korea. The same year, it said it had evidence that hackers linked to China’s government may have tried to violate a U.S.-China agreement to hold off on economic espionage against one another.

CrowdStrike got embroiled in politics in 2016, when it was hired by the Democratic National Committee to investigate the hacking of DNC computers a year earlier. The company concluded it had “high confidence” that a unit linked to Russia’s military intelligence arm was responsible for the attack.

Trump repeatedly asserted that Ukraine, not Russia, had interfered in the election, a view that alarmed some of his aides, concerned that he might have been influenced by Russia. The Washington Post reported in 2019 that a former senior White House official recalled that Trump said he knew Ukraine was the real culprit because “Putin told me.”

In a phone call in July 2019 that became a key part of the evidence in Trump’s first impeachment, the then-president urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate both former vice president Joe Biden and CrowdStrike. “I would like you to do us a favor,” he said. “… I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say CrowdStrike …”

The House Intelligence Committee’s Trump-Ukraine impeachment inquiry report reflected that multiple Trump aides had tried to disabuse him of the notion. Trump’s former Russia expert Fiona Hill told the committee that former homeland security adviser Tom Bossert and former national security adviser H.R. McMaster repeatedly told Trump that the CrowdStrike conspiracy theory was “completely ‘debunked,’ and that allegations Ukraine interfered in the 2016 U.S. election are false.”

In response to the conspiracy theories, CrowdStrike published an extensive Q&A in 2020 about its investigation of the DNC hack. It said that it had “proof” that Russia hacked the DNC and that its analysis was confirmed by other security companies such as Fidelis and FireEye, as well as U.S. intelligence.

Social media posts on Friday reflected that the CrowdStrike controversy was still well and alive among a section of the public.

“Today is not the first time that CrowdStrike has caused huge misery for the country, and even the world,” Hans Mahncke, a YouTube commentator, wrote in a post on X that drew thousands of likes, saying CrowdStrike’s report on the DNC hack had led to a “witch hunt” and “the criminalization of diplomacy with Russia.”

Max Blumenthal, editor of the independent website Grayzone, which has faced criticism for misleading reports, on X called CrowdStrike “the shady firm hired by the DNC to find Russia responsible for hacking its server,” and former CBS correspondent Lara Logan said CrowdStrike had been “lying for years.”

On X, Facebook and other social media platforms, hundreds of others of users piped up with fresh criticism of CrowdStrike’s 2016 report on the DNC, with some calling it a “hoax” and others speculating about whether the company could help to “steal” the upcoming election. “CrowdStrike and DNC criminality are intertwined,” one wrote. “The rot is deeper than any of you know,” another remarked. “It’s all connected,” wrote a third user.

More general misinformation about the outage was circulating on social media, including an image that purported to show the Microsoft error message across the Las Vegas Sphere. Snopes.com published a fact check on the photo on Friday, calling it fake.
 
RALLY stream!!

Going back out on stage after what happened last time. I’ll give Trump this, he’s got balls of steel.

Hopefully USSS is sending their A-team this time. Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump decided to hire some security of his own. The best outcome would be if last Saturday was a chance event and it doesn’t happen again.
 
It's both really cool and incredibly surreal having a fellow millennial whose twitter follows overlaps significantly with mine gunning for a national position.
yeah the idea that the next VP is likely to be a guy who retweeted something joking about a fake username "hitlerbussy420" is still very weird

He refused federal protection during his 2016 campaign. I suppose he decided to save money by using fed provided USSS after years of nothing happening - he ended up getting worse than he paid for.
