I guess what you're trying to say is that there was some bad blood between Taylor Swift and the Democrats, huh? That she fulfilled her role as the anti-hero and filled that blank space for Trump after knowing what had happened to him that cruel summer and realizing she belongs with the Republicans? And that the left wasn't ready for it but now that they are they are never ever getting back together...like, ever?

Democrats...you need to calm down. You just weren't her style. She knew you were trouble when she walked in, and now look what you just made her do. This was her endgame all along.

Palestinians might be some of the dumbest people ever they always get controlled by terrorist groups and every country around them fucking hates them and anyone who takes them in pays the price and always pushes them out. Wasn't there some vote/poll and like 80% of them supported Hamas leadership or some shit? lmao you can't fix stupid.

Yeah, Considering now that the left is actively turning on them and blaming them for the election because most of them called out Kamala and voted third party.

You can assume stupidity exactly once, but every time for several decades straight?
Nah, if anything id say Hamas represents the wishes and hopes of Palestinians to perfection

Usually people respond to this by saying that they haven't had an election since 2006 and that even when they did Hamas used threats of violence to maintain its "popularity."

Personally idk about all of that, whether or not Hamas is corrupt and maintains power through coercion is kind of irrelevant. I do believe almost every single Palestinian wants to kill or expel every Jew in Israel, and that the inverse is also true, and that both sides have plenty of reasons to justify this stance, and that the most realistic resolution is total victory for one side and total destruction for the other.

Before I moved to where I currently am, I had no idea squirrels even made sounds to begin with. Now that I know they do, I kinda wish I didn't cause they always sound like they are in pain.

Lol depends where you live. Red Squirrels in Europe make some nightmare inducing sounds. Eastern Grays, where I live on the East Coast of North America do make a ton of sounds but none I'd classify as being in pain lol.

As a squirrel rehabber, I'm so used to the multitude of sounds but it is true that I forget that most people have no idea how many sounds squirrels can make and I have tons of videos on my phone of my rescues and I show people constantly all the different sounds they make from barks, chirps, growls, chattering, to actual singing (yes, squirrels do sing). Current research has Eastern Grays at just about 120 distinct calls. They are extremely communicative and it constantly amazes me how well they can communicate to me exactly what it is they want or what is bothering them.

Also about about squirrels in pain, aside from a high pitched chirp for minor pain like catching their tail or something, squirrels actually don't make noise when they're in pain. If they're in significant pain, they will actually cry. They cry white tears, to be specific. If one of the rescues is crying white tears, it's generally a red flag to get it to a vet immediately. Usually it's an untreated infection (in their ears is most common) or benign tumors in their jaw (which seems to happen with them for some reason) or something equally pretty bad.

They display the entire range of emotions and have sounds for them all. When they're happy they make a little grunt that sounds like a pig grunt. When I go in to take care of my rescues and feed them and play with them, it's not uncommon for them all to grab my fingers and hold on and start grunting.

Also, as a fun fact, when they're babies and they're hungry and want to be fed, they make a very short, clipped double grunt. Rehabbers refer to it as "muk muk" because that's what it sounds like. Obviously when they reach adulthood, they stop making the sound EXCEPT when they want to mate. Yes, when squirrels are approaching a female and looking to mate, they actually make a baby noise to assure the female they're not a threat and just want to mate. Or rather, they attempt to seduce the female using baby talk lol. Any adult female who's already had a litter will instantly recognize the sound as baby talk.

Nine years rehabbing and they never cease to amaze me with how complex, intelligent, and unique they are.

"The children are unable to orgasm" is a weird thing to say, even in this context.

I assume the emphases isn't so much on kids having orgasms but more pointing out the horror that these kids haven't even reached the point where they're exploring their sexuality and they're already DOA. It's kind of sad, if you think about it. You're looking at a generation of kids who will probably end up on SSRIs for depression when they're in their late teens and watching all their friends screwing like rabbits and they feel nothing except endless rage for their parents and the adults that let this happen to them.

Baris trying to sound the warning bells on trump pulling too much from congress.

Baris I can take or leave. After watching him with Barnes a few times, I came to the conclusion that
A) I should never watch Barnes
B) If Baris isn't talking about polling, which he's brilliant at understanding, then he mostly knows even less than the normal person. So any opinion of his that isn't about polling I don't really pay attention to. Of course I could be wrong, and often am.

Potatoherder said:
Baris has been harping on for years that the Trump voter will not turn out without Trump on the ticket. So what people think are safe may not be in fact safe. Republicans seem to think that people just like them now and that is so far from the case it's not funny.

Well, if JD Vance keeps on the path he's on - I mean I think he was a really nice surprise for Trump voters. Where Trump is more like a bull in a china shop, JD has mastered the technique of telling people "Fuck You" without saying Fuck You. If he sticks close to Trump for the next 4 years and continues to slap the left and the MSM around like he has, I think he can keep the Trump momentum going. Also keeping various members of his family around like Lara and Don jr, which I'm sure neither of them are leaving politics when he does, will go a long way to keeping the "Trump vibe" to the party which can help.

But yes, I do agree that the GOP does suffer from a fucking insane ability to not understand things and will completely read this election as "Everyone loves the GOP now!" instead of realizing that Trump dragged their carcass over the finish line.

Pol is losing their shit over him.

Rubio won't please /pol/ but Marco is the perfect candidate to get the gop under one tent.
He straddles the line that populists and the establishment can feel comfy enough with him. He is a known entity thst is for sure.

General Emílio Médici said:
There is no logical equivalency. There is no proportion. Jones is being punished hundreds of times more harshly for a minor case than companies and reporters who have actual mainstream power to attack people have had done to them.
Click to expand...

Jones is being punished for acting in court the way he does on radio. I hate the antichrist and globohomo as much as the next guy, but after reading the case for myself, it seems a pretty clear cut example of Jones progressively pissing off this judge across multiple cases by engaging in theatrics to try and delay or avoid discovery, and finally, this time, the judge said, "Enough, fuck you, I'm never dealing with you again, fuck off forever, pay the entire value of your company, and good riddance."

The decision makes it clear that it's not just that because this one time, Jones decided to rant about conspiracies instead of complying. It's because he'd done it multiple times before in that same court in other cases, and the judge was just done.

Acting like an asshole in court is about as smart as flying into a rage and grabbing for your waistband when a cop pulls you over.
