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

 

[Jace on ice]

Cigs don't sap all of your ambition and turn you into a inert dull witted blob, weed does.

The elites want you be a brainless, lazy, fat zombie incapable of resisting them.

Meta Tells Brazil It Won't End Fact-checks Outside US 'At This Time'​

Social media giant Meta told Brazil it would not end fact-checking outside the United States until it had fully tested the changes, according to a note from the company published Tuesday.

Meta is "at this time ending its independent fact-checking program in the United States only, where we will test and refine Community Ratings before beginning any expansion to other countries," the company said, responding to a 72-hour deadline to explain its fact-checking policy for Brazil.

I don't trust him either, but I don't think this response is a mark against him. The Brazilian goverment is prone to tard fights over social media as seen with their beef with Elon and Twitter. If Zuck switches over to community notes and the CN start saying things the government doesn't like then Meta would lose business in that country and any of their employees there could get into legal trouble if any big wigs are sufficiently pissed off.

I like this a lot, include remittances and it will be the best agency.

 

[Jace on ice]

Remittance not being taxed is legitimately mind blowing, no sane society would allow their wealth to be leeched and send to hostile nations.

100% support.

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

This is the biggest thing. Alcoholics are laughed out the door for saying drinking doesn't impact their focus while people hooked on weed constantly say weed doesn't impair them at all.

I've been a very outspoken weed hater but I've been constantly fighting with people since weed decriminalization started spreading.

1. Weed does not make you better at operating machinery. If you need weed to "focus" you're a fucking fag/addict and shouldn't have your job. Yet I talk to plenty of fucking people who will die on the hill that they can't operate their heavy construction equipment unless they're high as balls. They are not good at their jobs and they are going to get people killed. It is just a matter of time. As far as driving goes, it's the same fucking thing. Weed does not make you a better driver, no matter what faggot stoners insist. They are a danger to themselves and everyone around them and it needs to be outlawed.

2. I regularly see people smoking marijuana around children now. People brazenly walk around outside puffing giant clouds of weed smoke right in front of their toddler age or infant children. They do not give a rats fucking ass. If you think it's just niggers, it's not. Young white couples do it too. They do not give a fuck if it damages the kids or not. I also see children themselves regularly smoking weed now too openly in public.

3. People love to complain about Zoomers being overall anti-social, but you know what Zoomers also are? Some of the biggest potheads out there and contrary to what anyone says, weed is not and never has been a social drug. There is a reason the weed smoking room is on the side of any party. Weed makes you a fucking potato. Long term you get burned out. Weed does not make you want to interact with people. It makes you want to eat snacks on your couch and pass out. You Zoomers want to know why no one wants to hang out after college classes? It's because they huffed from their bong and now they don't want to move unless it's to the door to get a pizza. Weed is killing your social lives.

Bottom line is, legalizing weed fucking blows. If you want it decriminalized, that's one thing. But doing it public should absolutely be punishable. Driving high or while smoking (yes people smoke while driving) should be an even harsher punishment than DUIs.

He really does seem intent on establishing more tariffs if his account is releasing this online so close to inauguration.

So with Doge and ERS, has Trump made it clear if these will agencies will coexist with the exisiting agencies or are they going to absorb the dozen or so agencies that handle this stuff into the new agencies?

On one hand I think it is evil to subject others to what we get Subjected to with the IRS...on the other hand The rest of the world deserves it.

A reason why Zuckerberg probably shouldn't be trusted.

Past behavior predicting future behavior is why he shouldn't be trusted. Zucks entire life all points to him not giving a single shit about other people so long as he can get his.
The only reason he's bitching about government influence is because the twitter files made people very aware of what was likely going on at meta and he had no choice but to spin the narrative to save his own ass.

This is sadly all on Trump

Also turns out that Imam hates christians

In this clip, Imam Husham Al-Husainy, who is scheduled to recite a prayer at Trump's inauguration, appears to warn Christians away from believing in Jesus (Isa in Arabic) "stay away from this infidelity" and tells them to become slaves to Allah.

now wait a second i was assured by all the /pol/tard blackpilling doomer faggots that trump was gonna do nothing for american citizens but sell us out to jews/israel and obey net and yoohoo and kill all the arab babies for his jewish masters?!

DOOMPILLERS PUT ON THE BURGER SUIT AND EXPLAIN THIS NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW.

 

[UnidentifiedFlyingOrchid]

Who runs the Bureaucracies?

I just gave you stats, can you not read?

Your city's pretty special then, the reason most American cities suck is because their governments are captured by Democratic political machines. Shit posting isn't going to fix that.

Roughly half of Americans live in a Blue municipality, and half live in a Red municipality. Democrats prefer bug hives, Republicans prefer mid-size cities, suburban, and rural.

How many rust belt voters do you think read shit posting on the internet? How many people do you think read shit posting on twitter or the Farms or the chans?

Most of them (+50%). Social media is inundated with political shitposts. Boomer chain emails, Reddit hysterics, Xitter hot takes, drunk uncle Facebook rants, etc.

Wait, I thought Republicans controlled everything. You're saying that hasn't helped?

Correct.

Senate and House Republicans still want to flood the US with cheap labor, it's just that Trump might get them fired.

I agree. Trump directly communicates with the voting base via shitposts. This is mostly done by taking the most memetic shitpost and resharing it (maybe spiced up a bit).

Stephen Miller is the driving force

Meme magic didn't make normies suddenly care... the results of NAFTA and people losing their jobs did.

Which is it, a driving force or a driving force. Miller is in the driver's seat, delivering packages. Normies are the workforce and voting base. They have demands and supply votes, momentum, and a mandate.

Normies don't care about memes

I disagree. Good thing you're not running Trump's campaign.

go make a thread

I read this as: "I want you to silence yourself in this thread, and let me have the final word". This is a common tactic you use.

just saying

If you're "just saying" something, then why bother writing all the stuff before it. You use "just saying" to try and force the other person to limit their response to a narrow area in your preferred frame of reference.

change... require more work than just shit posting

That is different than:

I'm just saying shit posting isn't magic, you're going to have to go out and do things.

"you're going to have to go out and do things" means the person shitposting must "do things" or change will not happen. That isn't true. The change can be done by somebody the shitposter inspires.

 

[HodgePodgeRogerDodger]

Do you are have stupid?

He’s actually right about that Levine hates Bioshock 2 because it expands upon Rapture rather than the entire narrative being a gay meta commentary on games and having better combat.

2 is the best Bioshock game.

To be fair, the Israelis thought so too. They went from wanting to expand operations in Gaza and cutting off humanitarian aid to sneeding about this

I think people might be taking the Tobacco vs Weed thing too deep.

The dems are moral busy bodies who think they are entitled to tell people how to live, they also like to smoke weed or have smoked weed, and say those magic words with me It's different when we do it.

Combined with otherwise they'd have to admit maybe those old school conservative who fought against legalization might've had a point and didn't just hate fun and black people.

Cigs kill you, but they usually kill you after retirement. I'm not saying it's a good idea to smoke, just that it's less socially harmful than something that makes you retarded. IIRC, smokers cost less in health care because they die young, and are actually more likely to be killed by emphysema, pneumonia, or cardiac arrest, which are way cheaper ways to die than cancer.

The left wants to ban tobacco and legalize weed because they mentally associate tobacco with the Before Times, lower-class whites, and masculinity, while they associate weed with being a destructive parasite, And Here's Why That's A Good Thing sort of thinking.

I think specifically Bibi should have kept in mind trump's feelings on betrayal and rethink how quick he was to congrat biden on his "win". Being THE FIRST guy to quickly congrat biden when there were still election issues up in the air after the 4am ballot drops..... not very smart. Trump I think had existing problems with bibi but i suspect he took that personally.

don't expect trump to go FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA but I can definitely see bibi and other hardliners being iced out going forward.

Tobacco is a stimulate that causes young white men to get out and do something. Weed makes for a docile servant class that won't do shit as long as there is enough weed to go around.
