So who's the new speaker of the House

 

[CEO of Gay]

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

That would explain why alcoholism and substance abuse are higher than you'd expect amongst those of above-average intelligence.

that's like the one study
Besides, there are far more stupid substance abusers than there would be intelligent ones going off prevalence.

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.

Jew lady wants to ruin her own country more. More news at 11.

 

[Glowing In The Streets]

So who's the new speaker of the House

Say hello to the new boss, same as the old boss
Actually, it's the same guy too!

Didn't take long for Johnson is fortify himself. He should just make it 100. So much for "if he's bad we'll just vote him out."

RINOs win yet again. I keep telling you people MAGA is dead on arrival.

So who's the new speaker of the House

It's RINO Johnson again. Trump's second term is collapsing even further, and we haven't even gotten to the part where Congress votes down all of Trump's cabinet picks.

Electing Jeffries would've been funnier

 

[Two Hands]

Thank you Burgerpacks for the insightful info.

 

[X Prime]

Starting to regret not grilling up burgers for dinner. Maybe tomorrow.

 

[John Badman]

Are you ready for Sunday?

 

[Fatpacks]

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.

Can't wait for Republicans to blow the midterms. This was the last chance to unfuck this country and it was wasted. Enjoy this meager respite before the Dems plunge this country back into becoming a globalist hellhole.

It's been 2 weeks since the election and almost 2 weeks until any changes. And yet the whining and bitching and dooming. Gross already, just stop. I remember Obama 9 months after his election going 'I inherited this bad economy' bitching why nothing was much better.

We'll get this I guess from now on with you types. Stop already.

Glad to know this bitch is already being buckbroken. She's been so arrogant she really needed to be brought down a peg or two.

 

[Snekposter]

The marquis de sade, one of the most deviant erotic writers ever, wrote most of his shit in the late 1700s- early 1800s. I was mostly focusing on porn on film.

IIRC one of the first publicly-shown films was a smut piece. This was before projectors, so you bent down into a pair of binocs and had the film run directly in front of your eyes. It was even at one of those big expos in the late 1800's.

The cost of your NHS in the UK is the fact that you make about six cents for every dollar an American earns. Since median salary here is about $70k, and in UK it's about $40k, overall, all that shit costs you about $30k per year.

Or to put it another way, average home size in the UK is 800 sq ft, while in the USA, it's 2000 sq ft. You can think of those 1200 sq ft you don't get to live in as the price of your "free" health care.

And don't forget that gas is taxed so heavily it makes California look sane. Their leaders have always hated us Americans for our freedom of movement to the point they slapped massive luxury taxes on big engines all the way back in the Model T era just to keep Henry Ford and the rest out, and aside from the Bongs those continue into the modern day.

Then you'll start killing eachother again. No. Us staying prevents you fucking retards from being savages against one another

Were you trying to make an argument against us leaving? Because this is a pretty good reason for us to get and stay gotten. Just draw a line down the middle of the Atlantic starting at Greenland's southern tip, declare either side to be completely free of the other side's influence to the point of no trade ships or tourists but leave Greenland itself as a neutral zone so goods can be transshipped, and we can sit back and laugh as the Euros start another great power war amongst themselves in less than a decade.

Continental Europe hasn't had a slapfight since ww2

And how many before that? I seem to recall a particularly brutal one less than thirty years before that one which was quite optimistically referred to as the war to end all wars.

No, the picture we have of Europe is that you were lining teenage boys up in fields to die by the million to settle the question of which despot would rule which patch of dirt. After Party Time 1940, we were done with your bullshit.

"The U.S. must remain apathetic. But we extend our blessing and best wishes to all European nations who wish to obliterate each other from the face of the Earth."

Kicking arse is a phrase used for when Germany conquered France, When Napoleon crushed Austria, when the Ottomans destroyed the Mamlukes. Not a phrase for when the colonies barely defeated a bankrupt Britain with the help of two major powers.

How about the Battle of New Orleans where the Duke of Wellington's brother-in-law got blown apart at the front lines while desperately trying to keep his men from breaking and running because a bunch of militiamen were too much for some hardened veterans of the Peninsular Wars?

Not exactly the British Empire's finest hour considering you guys wound up calling the whole thing a draw in the end. Seriously, you guys turned the entire French and Spanish navies into driftwood multiple times during that whole affair but somehow the USN was able to make the Admiralty tear all its hair out. I can only imagine how many of those fancy powdered wigs needed to be replaced.

One of those major powers was France which is basically a handicap. Sure they where a much better and powerful france but it's still fucking france.

When John Paul Jones took on Serapis one of his French "allies" killed almost as many of his own men as English due to said Frenchman's unwillingness to position his ship properly and thus wound up nailing both vessels with raking fire from astern while they were locked in a boarding action.

And not just with one broadside, but he came back around and delivered a second one, even after the Americans had cussed his ass out for being a teamkilling fucktard.

I still love you for wearing the burgersuit.

Reminder that literally everyone including the ancient Greeks until like the 50s knew that democracy can't work in a multiethnic state.

If you want to kneecap H1B visas permanently, just make it that they get equal pay as if it was an American born citizen applying for the job.

That won't work. A majority of h1bs are abused by shit companies that pay all their employees peanuts.
Another benefit to h1b is that you can abuse employees since their visa is tied to their employment.
There's no reason for h1b to exist. Theres already o-1 for exceptional individuals.

1. Make H1B pay the same as other employees, and allow them to sue for retroactive backpay
2. if you fire an H1B employee you're now on the hook for their employment insurance payout until they get a job or leave the country (or the calculated hours run out).

1. Blanket ban on H1B
2. The end.

There really isn't any incentive to invest in the American workforce if you can just poach from another country.
