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

Only when manifested. That's when it gets in the way of a succulent Chinese meal. And keep your hand away from my penis, too.

Ah, I see you know your judo well!

Its wasn't unreasonable to think it could have been the cause. A brand new Cybertruck spontaneously combusted the same god damned day on a dealership lot. Its not without precedent.

It's a willful ignorance of reality. It was blatantly obvious from that video that there was an intentional explosion set off, and coping about how the obvious fireworks were lithium and rare metals cooking off is delusional sperging over a personal dislike of Musk. If Cybertrucks were that faulty, there would be far more cases of people dying and Musk would have been nailed to the fucking wall. People need to use their brains and dial back the hate just a little bit.

You give the general population far too much credit, or maybe you expect too much of them. Most people are simply ignorant.

I get what your saying, and I feel it, I really do. But in the real world, most people are just simple. Not maliciously stupid, just poorly educated. And cybertrucks have been known to go kablooey. And other electric cars, laptops, phones, e-scooters, whatever. That's simply lived experience in the 21st century, and most people will first go to lived experience first for explanations, and work forward from there.

Keep being intelligent and analytical, I beg of you. I agree the world needs it. But lower your expectations of the general population. You're going to be disappointed more often than not. And you aren't going to change the world, just elevate your own blood pressure.

Life gets much easier when you get over trying to educate every stupid motherfucker on the planet. And you will get over it, probably. Most intelligent people grow out of "angry-ing up the blood" every time stupid people do stupid shit. Some of us even start to envy the poor dumb bastards a bit for their naiveite as we age, and actively try to dumb ourselves down, but that's a whole digression.

I'm waxing philosophical a lot today. Must be the new smoke. Not dumbing me down as desired, just making me talk too much.

To wax some myself, that's a bit how dunning Kreuger works, but for politics. I think it's harder though to recognize political or economic than raw math or science. Because there are people that spend their entire lives worshipping marxist shitlib leftist eco/pol and think they got it early and right forever. Robert Reich is one, and all the eastern communists. They think they solved it all and that's that.

The foundation to being a rounded person is knowing when to be adaptable and when to stand firm. That's the hard part, not the details of it all.

Hey at least he's not claiming everyone blaming the truck is a paid agent as part of a "psyop" conspiracy run by the CIA. That's become the go-to any time someone says something retarded online.

I understand and agree with your point that credit score is imposed upon people, but the guy vacationing in Vegas who hasn't paid shit in 10 years is not the same as someone whose credit score is a great big question mark. That Vegas guy is likely coked up and in trouble with the IRS.

They are both forced to submit to a system of government monitoring of their finances. They are both forced to submit to a private system that can debank them for arbitrary reasons. Some jobs check your credit score and will deny you for not having enough credit history. It is much farther reaching than just money.

Mexico opens possibility of receiving non-Mexican deportees from Trump​

AP News
Claudia Sheinbaum quotes:
“we can collaborate through different mechanisms.”
“There will be time to speak with the United States government if these deportations really happen, but we will receive them here, we are going to receive them properly and we have a plan,”
AP News: In December, Sheinbaum had said she planned to ask Trump to deport non-Mexicans directly to their home countries.

I can at least laugh at that, though. This just gets my empathy running. I just worry about his blood pressure, getting that pissed because the average dolt might think a cybertruck going boom might have been the battery.

If I were to just be a dick, I'd have told him to think it through, instead of getting pissed about why would people think a cybertruck brewing up might be the battery? Then I'd post a bunch of battery fire news articles. I might even say "lets ask those four indian guys. Oh wait...."

And then I'd shit on him for not living up to his own standards right there. That's how the internet works, right? That might have been the funnier move, but I chose the other path. Because I recognize someone who isn't just another dumbass, doing shit I used to do before I learned better, and I felt for him.

I am talking too much today.

My only irritation is at having to scroll past so many schizo posts. The conspirasperging was funny at first.

Honestly we need more of this type of posting and less slapfighting.

Thanks Elon, I can't wait to sit in the same metal coffin Matthew Berg shot himself in.

You really think he shot himself then set off the bomb? This whole event reeks of more glow then Chernobyl.

Been here 4 years, and I still don't get the vibe of this site. Can get threadbanned for mutiposting or whatever. I wish there was an outline of how many post are 'too much', it's too vague. I've seen a lot of people apologizing for double posting which, to me, is some kind of terror and fear of punishment by jannies that they're talking too much. I don't even get overposting concept at all even on some lolcow forums unless it's off topic.

I want a damn break in the news and some decent discussion once in awhile

So Mexico is going to be flooded with all of the third worlders?

It's almost a shame all the meta sites and spin offs are full of spergy rejects from here. Alas, the story of the internet.

Suicide by two headshots.

Shit didn't come in sorted. Push the shit out the same way it came in.

Maybe some charities can buy plane tickets to send the overseas back. I heard there are charities that specialize in immigrant plane trips. I'm sure they'd love to help.

 

[draggs]

Considering the legal team and resources Lara trump had? Honestly yea. But I guess that was only for the presidency and pre election night votes or something. Freaking waste.

The California GOP literally cucked itself into abject retardation and permanent minority party status 35 years ago, it's not surprising that it couldn't manage to work with the RNC and the Trump campaign on the most basic election integrity shit in multiple House races. I'm sure they did fuck all to work with Turning Point and America PAC as well

So Mexico is going to be flooded with all of the third worlders?

It already is. Now that Mexican economic migration is tapered off, they're getting everyone from central and south America, plus of course the dipshits that come from Africa, the ME, ect. In short, everywhere else that's been destabilized/taken over by commies/is just retarded and has figured out that illegal immigration to Europe and the U.S. gots gibs.

Ironically this is why Stay in Mexico policy worked so well, nobody wanted to stay in Mexico so the ones who did stay were more likely to be people with legitimate reasons to migrate, seek asylum, ect, and Mexico could actually set up areas to corral people instead of them suicide charging all over the country while coyotes make bank. As the people stayed, the U.S. courts to do their thing without being extensively overwhelmed by BS. It made the logistics actually functional for every country involved. Plus it gave onus to the fact that those illegally crossing the border were bad hombres, and thus border patrol could crack down hard on them with less worry.

Mexico also realizes that the issues in the U.S. are, ironically, spilling back into Mexico, increasing destabilization and a a slow unstopped bleeding of necessary governmental services. The upcoming anti-Cartel stance with the economic positives of working together with the U.S. might actually give Mexico a chance to stabilize and become an actual 1st world nation. The cartels see this as well and the smarter ones are going to pull a Soviet Union and integrate into the government/legal industries before dissolution/being droned Obama style.

The only people that like the current set up with American immigration are the new-age slave owners, the cartels, and certain three letter agencies, and maybe commies but even then they're losing so much population and their high-value labor pool that their infrastructures are going to keep collapsing (IE Venezuela and Cuba), but nobody's accused commies of having long term planning capability.
