I posted a video earlier but here's a screencap of the email LV cybertruck guy sent.
I've mostly seen anti-grav stuff talked about in terms of Bob Lazar and UFO shit but maybe the UFO stuff was just to cover up military tech (as what happened with Roswell). Who knows.
Whats strange is he seemed to intend to go to Mexico so if that's the case why shoot himself? Is the body in the car his? A decoy to buy time to leave?

Nigger you’re a glowie for attempting to dismiss something that very clearly on its face is not schizophrenia as a paranoid schizophrenic. Loser fed.

I would kill myself if I were a glowie so the fact that I'm posting shows I'm not. I would also kill myself if someone jokingly calling some dead guy a schizo while posting additional information on his situation made me sperg out enough to accuse them of being a glownigger. Seek help.

@SaidNoOneEver That was one of the first options I offered when I posted the video and it resulted in me being called a glowie. There really is no winning on the farms.

Lol Europe also invented the term Balkanization. What a weird word, what are its origins?

The Balkans, oddly enough,

Well it has been throughout history, but Globalism in the 21st century prevents it from being utilized again.

I need to sperg for a moment. Please bear with me.

Globalism is any significant movement of people, goods, or ideas across the globe. The Greeks were receiving Tin from Britannia in spite of not fully knowing where that was or what those people were like. The Chinese were buying up hordes of silver from European traders extracted from mines in the Americas. The computer you're using right now is a product of globalism whole and complete. Blaming globalism for each and every ill of our age is no different than blaming capitalism for everything. Its not a left or right thing, its the name for the process that makes our world go round. What you hate is a specific brand of gay and lame politics practiced in the West, not globalism. If you hate harmful immigration plans devised by cynical and greedy men then say so. It's like calling civilization evil because evil men sometimes control their course.

There won't be right wing governments anywhere in the Western world, including America, because liberalism is an enervating force that doesn't know how to do anything except hollow out previous structures until it's completely spent.

Liberalism is a dead man walking. Most western European countries are in an increasingly economically, socially, and politically unstable, unsustainable state where the only 2 equilibrium points are going to be "permanently semi-failed state with warring ethnic tribes" or "Super Mustachio Land 2". Each country's fate is dependent on if and when certain demographic tipping points are reached.

Real Rightism has never been tried!
Just a regular day in A&H.

True, it hasn't.

Here are the currently most popular political parties in Greenland:

In the event they become a state they will get 2 senators and at least 1 representative for their population of 56,000 people.

I hate this retarded "but how would they VOOT???" bullshit as if it matters. Puerto Rico, DC, and other places really should just be states. We handwring about having some level of decentralization and "territory government" which amounts to jack shit when we aren't willing to integrate all parts of America into America
If Greenland joins it would surely be a two sided ordeal. They would want representation, and on their own terms. Or else they wouldn't join, as simple as that

Another thing - Greenland has about a 46% tax rate, but free school and healthcare for all residents. All Greenlanders have Danish citizenship, making them members of the Schengen Area by default and thus the EU

No! The government is evil, therefore I believe everything I hear about the government doing evil things.

This shit is how we ended up with QAnon.

That's why we make them a territory instead, at least until they figure it the fuck out.

Putting idealism aside, it matters a lot considering as of the most recent Congress just put into office today, the GOP has a razor thin majority in both the House (218 Needed Out of 435, Republicans Have 219) and the Senate (51 Needed Out Of 100, Republicans Have 52). The math makes it so that the political leanings of territories and potential new territories of the USA have to be considered before making them states because once that process is done it can potentially have long-term ramifications.

 

[ZMOT]

What is it like to live in an inferior country?

not a bong, but dunno man.
burgers still glorify bri*ish accent as "intellectual" and give sloppy seconds to trash like john oliver even the uk didn't want to touch (and they're full of pajeets who handle poo all day). sure, they have to use spoons to butter their bread, but still...

You're also mean and rude.

maybe, but you guys suck jew cock

granted, so does europe by extension, but you pay for euro healthcare while getting assraped by your own pharma industry, so I guess that evens out lol.

however the important part is what happens next. see if you leave europe alone they gonna have a little kerfuffle to get it out of their system and cull some population like they always did, while you're still riding the globohomo train taking in europe's refuse like the frankfurt school.
or you don't and europe gets so enriched they end with sharia law. but here's the thing, muslims really don't like jews. also thanks to islam no booze and porn some dipshits think are the reason for all of society's ailments and not just a symptom. the US already defended bacha bazi as cultural practice so that should be fine too.

so whatever you do, by 2100 europe will either have fixed itself or have no more booze, jews and porn while you have most likely turned into south america. I'm too drunk too declare a winner, but you'll probably figure it out.

 

[Potatoherder]

Senate (51 Needed Out Of 100, Republicans Have 52)

They actually have 53 but you must write off Murkowski and Collins right off the bat. Of the remaining you need to factor in that at least 25 are at best RINOs. Right off the bat Ernst and others tried to sabotage Trumps appointments. Best case you have 51 and worst you have around 20 actual republican senators.

If the GOP cared about the future of America they would care more about making a stable country over whatever seats bullshit Congress is up to
By the way, maybe we should expand apportionment beyond 435 or something? It's about 800k to a seat, when in 1790 it was 35k to a seat.

Wow. How original.

At least i dont die while on a waiting list because daddy government said i wasn't sick. You guys use your health system too much. Pop some Tylenol and cough syrup and get over it.

however the important part is what happens next. see if you leave europe alone they gonna have a little kerfuffle to get it out of their system and cull some population like they always did, while you're still riding the globohomo train taking in europe's refuse like the frankfurt school.

That's not in the US best interests for Europe to go full Muslim or go to war. It means we'll be fighting regardless. Because we're a superpower. We play by different rules. That means keeping the small retard nations playing nice.

For better and for worst, using the original plan as intended when the United States was founded would result in the House of Representatives having something like 9,400 to 9,500 members.

Why should a city state that only exists so no state can hold the Federal Government hostage get 2 senators? In fact if they get the same rights wouldn't that defeat the purpose?

The UK maintains about 70-75k people per parliment seat, and I see zero reason why the US can't do the same

Why should a city state that only exists so no state can hold the Federal Government hostage get 2 senators? In fact if they get the same rights wouldn't that defeat the purpose?

Because 500k people with no connection to the US government live and work within it and have 0 representation? I'm fine with adding Arlington and Alexandria to it

In an interesting turn of events, it looks like Trump is going to be convicted by Merchan in name only. They just want to convict him of something.

"Judge orders Trump sentenced on Jan. 10, signals no punishment for conviction" (archive)

A New York judge has ordered President-elect Trump’s criminal sentencing for Jan. 10, rejecting his demand that his hush money case be dismissed to accommodate his presidency following his election victory.

Judge Juan Merchan signaled he is inclined to impose no punishment for Trump’s 34-count felony conviction, given concerns about his immunity from criminal prosecution upon taking the oath of office.

Merchan said an unconditional discharge “appears to be the most viable solution” and he would allow Trump to appear virtually.

“While this Court as a matter of law must not make any determination on sentencing prior to giving the parties and Defendant an opportunity to be heard, it seems proper at this juncture to make known the Court’s inclination to not impose any sentence of incarceration, a sentence authorized by the conviction but one the People concede they no longer view as a practicable recommendation,” Merchan wrote.

The jury of 12 New Yorkers in May found Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment his ex-fixer made to porn actor Stormy Daniels with the intention of unlawfully influencing the 2016 presidential election. Daniels was paid during the campaign to keep quiet about an affair she alleged with Trump, which he denies.

Merchan’s decision keeps Trump’s criminal conviction on the books, meaning he would be the first felon to assume the presidency, though Trump still can appeal the jury’s verdict.

Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement following Merchan’s decision that there should be no sentencing, suggesting that the “deeply conflicted” judge’s ruling violates the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling.

“This lawless case should have never been brought and the Constitution demands that it be immediately dismissed,” Cheung said. “President Trump must be allowed to continue the Presidential Transition process and to execute the vital duties of the presidency, unobstructed by the remains of this or any remnants of the Witch Hunts.”

The Hill requested comment from the Manhattan district attorney’s office.

The president-elect’s criminal defense strategy long rested on delay until after the election. Trump successfully staved off trial in his other three criminal prosecutions, and in the hush money case — the only one that did reach a verdict — he successfully pushed the sentencing until after voters cast their ballots. He won decisively in November’s election.

Special counsel Jack Smith dismissed all charges against Trump in his federal election subversion and classified documents cases, and Trump’s only other remaining indictment — his election interference prosecution in Georgia — remains in doubt after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) was disqualified by an appellate court over her romance with a top prosecutor on the case. She has appealed the decision.

Trump was slated to be sentenced in New York in November. Since the election, his lawyers have argued his status as president-elect compels the case to be tossed entirely.

The judge wrote that he was “not persuaded” and he would allow Trump to appear virtually at his sentencing to accommodate his transition duties as president-elect.

“Having addressed and resolved all matters brought before this Court and the verdict now more than half a year behind us, all that remains outstanding in this case is the issuance of this Decision and the imposition of sentence,” Merchan wrote.

“Scheduling sentence is a function that remains exclusively within the purview of the trial judge and can be easily set down for a date and time certain to minimize disruption and inconvenience, provided that applicable statutory obligations are met,” he added.

The judge also emphasized the importance of keeping the New York jury’s guilty verdict against Trump intact, writing that its importance could not “possibly be overstated.”

“Indeed, the sanctity of a jury verdict and the deference that must be accorded to it, is a bedrock principle in our Nation’s jurisprudence,” he said.

Merchan went on to reject an alternative suggested by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D), whose office is prosecuting the case, that the judge treat the case as if Trump had passed away.

Trump’s attorneys called the scenario “absurd” and a “dark dream scenario,” but Bragg said the first-of-its-kind solution was warranted given the unprecedented circumstances.
