Can anyone recommend to me some comfy "right-wing" content? I'm not looking for a serious news program.

I have been surrounded by liberals and progressives my whole life and sometimes I just want to turn on a stream or YouTube/Rumble and have a little parasocial time.

I'm not looking for anything that "owns the libs." I guess owning the libs would be more fun if most of my family and friends weren't libs.

A couple of Tucker's streams were good for this but I think they are only available on his website/app now.
If you are interested, The Distributist is a very much underrated channel, mostly dealing with higher level issues on various topics, eg. atheism or even the themes of WH40k. He recently started doing a podcast, that I've never tuned into myself, but that may interest you.

Damn, Mike really was there the whole night with the crew. Do not remember the last time I saw the speaker of the house at a UFC event lmao
Do you remember the last time you saw a politician actually having fun at an actually public event?

They love to have their private parties and their booths completely removed from the smell of the common populace. Personally, I want more of this. More fun in public showing them being actually normal people at heart.
 
Saw a view of some Democrat club meeting, with "building a progressive future" and being unwelcome if you "have symptoms of COVID-19, racism, or homophobia" emphasized. Saw a view of some Republican club meeting, with emphasis on freedom and liberty. Quite the contrast in emphasis there. Also the Democrat one forbade audio and video recording.

:thinking:
 
Honestly the Tallow thing may actually be more significant then we think, assuming that the taste and/or health difference is noticeable if seed oils are restricted or banned.

A lot of these changes that the Democrats market as being good for the environment or good for people are really not that great, like banning plastic straws and bags. If RFK is successful in improving the quality of food people will notice that, and ask why the food had been worse before. Most of that can be answered as Democrats passing laws that make things worse.

That would give a clear indicator to many people that the Democrats are misguided and their end of history thing is making life wors

He's not leaving campaign mode. This is a good sign. Vance takes center stage for part of the video, too. This is a GREAT sign.

4 years of him campaigning for Vance 2028 would be brilliant.
Other than meeting other heads of state, The president doesn't really a ton, he seems to delegate very well, and he seems to be puttign a stellar group around him this time. I personally hope Trump keeps doing podcasts here adn there, probably not the 3-4 hour ones, but why the fuck out. Fuck the old media, let em stew or make em deal with vance chewing them up.
 
The Michigan folks are unmoved by Trump's picks.

And they shouldn't be.

The democrats have spent decades getting several dozen groups just by default. Never actually helping these groups, just saying they will help these groups and doing nothing to help them. And that only works because they're fearmongered into believing the republicans will outright abuse them - so as long as the democrats merely neglect them voting for the democrats is better.

But if you let them piss in your eye just because they say the other guy will piss in your mouth, they're just going to keep pissing in your eye. Every demographic the democrats win by default is one that they don't have to prove they will help, and thus one they don't help. I'm pretty sure this is part of why the blue-collar vote is creeping over into Rep control - Dems still haven't gotten it into their dense fucking heads that the working class is catching on that trump is better for them than Kamala is.

Also, the jewish community votes heavily dem. Stands to reason that in an jewish-muslim conflict, the muslims won't just vote for the same group the jews already do and expect things to go well for them.
 
I find it very amusing and also reassuring to watch them all hang out so casually. Wtf....
It's nice to see politicians being actual people. I know it's optimistic, but I think mending the bridge between political differences could alleviate a lot of the stress and genuine mental health problems that go on because of all the exaggeration and hyperbole.

Buuuuuuut... That would be less entertaining, for various reasons.

Damn my empathy! Caring about others! Honk honk!
 
It really can occur at any time in their life. Learning social cues, unless the person is -deep- on the spectrum, is not at all hard and the behaviors do seem to click after a point. I am more than half convinced that the majority of autistic people don't actually have a condition and simply were not properly socialized from birth.
Yes, but what is more likely, us inventing a new definition for a mental condition that vastly expands it's reach in such a way that the behavior is justified and thus ignorable... or us admitting that the culture we cultivated post ~1975 or so of "women on SSRIs in the workplace, rah rah rah, children on Ritalin raised by TV, buy buy buy" might have downsides for everyone (but mostly men) that need correction?

You'll sooner see them admit the mRNA jab has issues.

RFK has never been -against- eating fast food, he just wants it to go back to using the legitimately healthier and tastier ingredients it once did. Also, I am half convinced this was Trump saying to eat it so he can compare the before and after,.
Imagine if he got one of his McDonalds owning buddies to make Tallow fries and nuggets "by presidential order" and makes a huge song and dance of running the fry station while RFK runs the burger station and Elon and Vivek run the cashier's counter. Maybe with an old retired McDonalds manager who used to do them in Tallow there to supervise.

Toss in a ton of press or influencers there to eat up, while RFK gives a lecture on how not only are these way tastier, they're healthier for you, too.

It'd be hilarious.

Trump is pulling him tight to his bosom. Let him see what team humanity is all about and take that feeling with him when its time to descend back into hades.

Funny/tragic story. I suffered some family tragedy at a very young age. Looking back yeah I was fucking traumatized, development delays happen.

Folks send me to a private catholic elementry school, thats a feeder for the rather prestigious catholic highschool. The teacher faced with student thats gonna require more work in regards to behavior/learning issues does nothing but wait till the end of the year. To tell my folks that "oh hey little northstar didnt pass the first grade uwu"

Parents are clearly pissed/offended and say "what you didnt tell us there was a problem!" the reply was "yeah well he will have to repeat first grade"

Parents: "this is an outrage I m not sending my child here anymore"

Teacher: "oh dont threaten me with a good time"

So then my life went off the rails because the went to one of the other private schools in town and one that was just down the street. and a horrible 2nd tragedy of my life happened.

Parents: "hi other religious school we would like to enroll our child, now we all believe in God and Jesus is our savoir and are very big on being none denominational, due to family schisms and drama going back to the fucking 1900's, will this be a problem?"

Principle: "no no thats fine totally okay" *note* he was lying. what he should have said was

"Well you see if you dont worship god and his final prophet *censored* (no not smith) and follow our teaching you by our doctine are going to hell, so little northstar's classmates parents and teachers will be teaching him that he is damned, along with the rest of the world, also fuck your non denominational bullshit we litterally segregate from the world based on what you belittle as minor differences, if you dont wish to join our cult church you might be served else where."

Now the first grade teacher was nice and passed me but the 2nd grade teacher was a man, and he lead my folks on pretty badly about keeping me after school to work with me. But he never did, and thank god my parents being burnt once knew to go and fight with the teachers to make sure I passed. They were too fucking stupid to take the hint that they didnt want me at the school.

It literally got to the point that a private tutor was hired to come to the school and work with me. The fuckers were just ignoring me and I was too......disassociated in my own world to go home and say "they dont want me there" so 5 years of me being treated in at best a passive agressive way and at worst abusive socialization.

So as a young man I didnt really understand socail norms. So there would be a cycle of me being annoying, people trying to signal that I m making them uncomfortable me not picking it up because I grew up being treated that way, the annoying shit goes on untill, they snap I stop being annoying but dont really process the negative response correctly, then they feel bad,

Now late in life I have to explain to people that "no I am not really autistic I was just abused as a child, by a bunch of christian that saw no issue hurting a child because he was/is going to hell"
 
It is almost like they voted for Trump knowing exactly what he would do. CNN is bitching because this is exactly one of those "There is never side effects to what we do, oh shit what are you doing!?" incidents. These protestors voted for Trump as a way of throwing a molotov on the party that claimed to support them, then stabbed them in the back. They know Trump is pro-Israel, but he -never claimed otherwise-, and actually has a track record as a peacemaker.

Trump, for all his bluster, self-aggrandizement, exaggerations, and little lies.... never backs down or pretends to have policies he doesn't support. When it comes to announcing his stances the man is bluntly and consistently honest. Its a major part of why despite disliking him on a personal level, I respect the hell out of him as president. And it turns out that when the other side is a bunch of serial liars on major issues and what they believe... people will in fact vote for the guy who doesn't actually support their position but is at least honest about it.
Another thing about Trump is he does this little thing all politicians and generals hate: He drone-strikes leaders, not tactical orphanages.

Trump shooting up soleimani never resulted in a big follow-up conflict, because anyone who'd actually coordinate that couldn't definitively say they weren't in the firing line. Trump strongarming russia didn't talk about invading russia, he talked about nuking moscow. Just look at the houthis immediately calling for a ceasefire the moment he was elected.

Biden would call for peace and do nothing as israel does their best to genocide any muslim they can reach. Trump will killshot the leader and tell everyone else to go home.
