US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[FloorPlanGreen]

I'm actually nervous that they might really off Biden now and make it look like a stereotypical MAGA tard.

This.
They will do a false flag, replace biden, but trump will win.
Then trump in his infinite paleoconservative glory will call for cracking down on violent extremism on the left and right.

Calling it.

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

Or. And I’m being purely speculative, JD Vance is a closet lolcow and autism enthusiast and has an account here. Probably not, but you never know.

The same day he gave his speech at the RNC he retweeted an oilfield_rando meme and I'm still processing that.

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.

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.

So how do Europeans compare, about hatred of the US, compared to Canadians who hate the US? It's as if some Canadians make it their entire identity and personality, to trash talk their Southern neighbor.

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.

Was in California for vacation in 2018. My husband and I booked a trip to Napa Valley, but the closest airport available at the time was SanFran (worst airport I have ever been to, bar none-- total shithole). We rented a car to drive to Napa from the airport, meaning that we had to drive through SanFran. We traveled through the "sketchy" side on the way there, and it was something out of a dystopian novel. Everything looked BROWN because of the thick smog. And I saw someone squatting to take a shit on the sidewalk in real time, and I saw countless homeless people walking around like zombies. It was very much the most unsafe place I think I've ever been in (and that was only while my husband and I were driving through it).

On the way back from Napa, we made a point to drive on "the other side" of SanFran, which was the entire opposite of what we saw on the way there. It was a yuppie haven: Very clean, very nice looking, etc. This is seriously how the leftists want every city to be: Rich people on one side enjoying a safe and comfortable surrounding, vs the pleb side with homeless people, drugs, violent crime, smog, and literal shit everywhere ... Nothing in between. You can't convince me that there's a middle class in SanFran at this point.

I've been to Baltimore more than once in my life, and Baltimore looks like a fucking paradise compared to SanFran (which is REALLY saying something, for those who know about Baltimore, lol).

Euros are marginally better at disguising how their contempt for Americans is motivated by feelings of inadequacy, while for Canadians it's transparently obvious.

It sucks but it is no surprise that Trump narrowly avoiding death is quickly turning into 'he didn't even get seriously hurt'. But then, we have a mental health crisis in this country for a reason. Mental health means nothing until you're a gibbering wreck and everyone can see it or you kill someone. Trump is holding it together, so there must be no mental damage from almost dying.

If the polls are in favor of my person they're reliable. If the polls aren't, they mean nothing.

(The polls mean basically nothing all the time.)

I realized something: Trump must have used his observation haki to avoid the bullet; that is why he was able to so narrowly avoid it by turning his head.

This makes more sense than it should...

Also, could anyone create an image of Trump as Luffy bouncing off bullets? I tried a couple of AI art sites, but haven't gotten what I wanted.

Hopefully he at least checked us out after the MTG thing

Hawai'i Governor Josh Green continues to stick with Biden, this time being a part of a fundraising event, featuring David Letterman.

And this selfie Green took with Biden last year, makes it clear that he's Ridin' with Biden until the very end, whether the ship sinks by either Biden croaking, stepping down, or getting 25th'd, or Biden stays and somehow lives long enough to stay in the Presidential race and lose, or FOUR MORE YEARS actually happens:



But what are the chances that Green ends up becoming a future Presidential candidate? He would already have tough competition in Newsom, Pritzker, and Whitmer, and even Hillary and Kamala would curbstomp him in the polls.

[oh no its pipkun]

Destiny is on Tom Bilyeux trying to do damage control. I'm five minutes in and he's basically just doubling down on a "it's okay when I do it" lmao

I rewatched the Metokur debate and it's absolutely stunning how wrong destiny ended up being about his points on the economy, the border wall, diversity in stem and a bunch of other shit. AI ended up stealing our service jobs, Texas's razor wire DID stop illegals from coming in there (they come through san diego now), Boeing imploded because of DEI coders and manufacturings, the mexican cartels own the mexican government. it's fucking nuts. Sure, hindsight is 20/20 but it's stunning how wrong he was on a lot of things.

A professional bullshitter was wrong?
No way..

It's absolutely sickening that Hawaii is 99.9% likely to go blue after ALL that happened in Maui.

Being a Democrat truly is a mental plantation in of itself. Hawaii got royally buttfucked by the Biden administration, and they're just like "Okay that sucked ... May we have some more?"

I’m curious myself. I’ve never really used drones and I’m wondering if the newer ones have some kind of lockout feature that prevents it from taking off or wandering in controlled airspace.

Bit late, but I didn't see anyone else address this. The most popular manufacturer that most people are talking about when they mention civilian drones is DJI, and they're basically the Apple of UAVs: expensive, easy to use, everything "just works", and fuck you if you think you can use it in an unauthorized manner. Their software includes a bunch of nanny features to make sure you're flying safely and following the law. This includes speed limits, altitude limits, forced-auto-land on low battery, Remote-ID to broadcast license number and GPS coordinates for the drone and pilot (which anyone can track with a normal phone), and multiple levels of no-fly-zone enforcement from the type where you have to fill out a form for permission to the type where it won't ever take off at all. Bypassing any of these is at best a huge pain in the ass and more often impossible.

Most of the rest of the hobby market seems to be DIY builds made from cheap semi-standardized parts, which is obviously much more complicated (here's a how-to guide for a quick overview). You can buy pre-assembled versions from some companies, though, and plenty of hobby shops will build them for you for a small fee. The popular software is all open-source so it doesn't bother trying to enforce any rules because it can't. The simpler software (eg betaflight) is for fully-manual flight only, so the pilot will be focused on that with reduced awareness of their surroundings while transmitting easily traceable radio signals. The software capable of autonomous missions, which it sounds like the shooter sent his drone on, is a bit harder to set up (ardupilot user guide, PX4 user guide).

Everything else I've encountered is some super expensive niche application (like crop spraying drones - huge, loud, $18k to $56k floor price) or the manufacturer limits sales to police and military.

So either the kid was a DIY drone enthusiast with plenty of experience, had an accomplice that fit that profile, or the feds just let him fly his popular consumer drone unhindered even as the drone itself sent them warning messages.

It was climate change's fault and if we ban eating steaks and make everyone buy electric cars there will never be wildfires or hurricanes or floods again so better vote Democrat so that can happen!
