Punk is the manifestation of "fuck you dad" it's one giant pile of pubescent rebellion. It's pathetic to do as an adult but it's natural for a teenager. I don't take "punk politics". Very seriously at all.

 

[Picnic_Boy]

I miss when 'punk' was about broken hearts and anger.

Hating your parents was cooler when parents represented corporate hegemony.

Deal with it soys, conservativism is now cool, edgy humor is now cool.

Being weak and deliberately self deprecating is now lame and gay as it should be.

There is also the fact that the DoJ simply never stopped finding new people to go after for 'J6 crimes'. What should Trump have done pardoned anyone in DC or the DoJ looks at crosswise in the future?

No, he could get around that by just declaring it to be based on "whoever was at the capital on Jan 6th" or whatever. That neatly fucks over the DOJ playing find-the-criminal after the fact.

 

[Mr. Brown]

At this point, Trump can do whatever the fuck he wants. I'm so fucking tired of liberals getting the upper hand in this shit. I want to be able to own a home, I'm tired of paying inflation due to the jews and fucking sandniggers, I'm tired of being ashamed for having different political opinions, and I am sick and tired of every fucking IP that comes out in media is some DEI-infested horseshit that nobody but faggots wants to watch.

I don't care anymore. This was God's plan. I hope Trump makes the next 4 years a living fucking hell for these "people".

Well said Osama Bin Laden, very cool

Using KF is more punk than actual punk.

Nearly every establishment hates null, and if they find out you use KF, you're treated like a pariah.

But punk is gay

Contrary to any "woke" claiming otherwise, "Gulf of America" can be more international than "Gulf of Mexico" is. "Gulf of America" could mean "America" as in the Americas.

It can, but everyone knows what we mean! I think they hate being reminded that "United States" is just a Government title like "Kingdom, Republic, Peoples Republic, Confederation, etc". The country name is "America".

 

[The Amazing Mongrel]

I think it’s funny Reddit hates the one CEO/Corporate that tries some attempt at futurism(that they love so much)…

But not the corporates running on the equal of slavery, illegally housing Mexicans and the like to work meat packing plants and shit with zero benefits and worthless pay. Or the pharmaceutical and health groups bankrupting and killing people daily due to malpractice and price gouging.

“ORANGE MAN BAD! Now time for my tendies from Tyson made out illegal blood and bones.”

LITERALLY.

Democrat celebrities and CEOs literally ran the narrative for the past 20 years, and the minute one steps out of line he's literally Hitler and he's "buying the election." Nevermind the millions Hollywood and corporations funneled into the Democratic party.

No, he could get around that by just declaring it to be based on "whoever was at the capital on Jan 6th" or whatever. That neatly fucks over the DOJ playing find-the-criminal after the fact.

He did. The phrasing is "crimes related to the events in and around the capital on January 6, 2021"
Edit: Didn't read far enough back in the exchange. Yeah, it was shitty to leave the guys hanging for 4 years. They were basically sacrificed for a chance at reelection.

In a perfect world they will get some hella sweet reparations too, preferably sourced from the seizure of every single bank account and piece of property of not only every Jan 6 committee member but every single member of their bloodline (including Dick Cheney) to make an example out of them and their families.

More likely you're going to see 0 to 1500 x [Number of members of the Jan6 committee] defamation and other similar lawsuits.

Which, should be interesting, as civil suits are only reasonable doubt, right? And accepting a pardon means you admit guilt. Which means you admit culpability.

(This is not how it works in reality and there's no way DC judicial swamp creatures are going to allow other DC swap creatures to face punishment. But it should be amusing seeing some DC Judges try and claim that a pardon makes you immune to civil suits.)

... Can Trump instruct the DoJ to settle any lawsuits for a lack of a speedy trial? 1500 5-10 million dollar settlements should be fun, he can take it out of the Department of Education's budget, they aren't doing anything useful with that money.

The only executive order I don't really agree with is the unleashing Alaska's natural resources order. I don't want California's draconian every dodo is valuable over regulation, but from the way I read it it seems like the order will lead to over fishing, and removal to a lot of protection of a close to untouched state.

Caring what musicians think is retarded. Most musicians either retards that want to smash box, or spergs that can't look a woman in the eye.

[just Reading a post]

Apparently Trump has another "big" announcement to come today. Press sec has said this to the journoscums
"I can confirm the American people won't be hearing from me today because they'll be hearing from the leader of the free world, President Trump will be speaking to the press later this afternoon at the White House, and we will have a big infrastructure announcement."

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Nearly every establishment hates null, and if they find out you use KF, you're treated like a pariah.

At least with the "woke" anyway. And maybe KF can become less notorious, if that pendulum swings back from being frozen in hard left.

 

[teriyakiburns]

I wonder if Bob Ross would be happy.

Bob Ross was always happy. He'd say something like "it's okay if you don't want to call it that. You can call it whatever you like. Isn't it just magnificent, though? Look at all the shade and light right there against that glorious winter sky. Let's have a little magnesium white here, work in some of that snow drifting from the peak. Just a gentle tap here and there. It doesn't matter if you think you got it in the wrong place. There is no wrong place. Some folks get angry about the names of things, because some folks just want an excuse to be angry at the world. Well, if you've ever had kids, you know they'll wear themselves out soon enough. There. Just beautiful."

Billions.

The downside for those persecuted is terrible but such a blanket pardon would have not only killed Trump's chances at reelection but likely effectively crippled the movement around him.

A lot of people also exposed themselves as monsters in the wake of J6 as well.

While pardoned by Biden anyone involved in the J6 committee is convicted in a lot of eyes.

 

[pikachudidnothingwrong]

Birthright EO signed. Lmao.

Good.. No other country has rules like this. Next we need to start looking into the rules that allow people to come here to work and ship all the money out of country. Another rare one.. at least to the extent/scope we allow.

Allegedly the cocaine turtle told him that if he released the 1/6 hostages then GOPe would join the Democrats to impeach him, which is why he didn't do it. He was blackmailed.

So, according to you, Mitch McConnell allegedly told Trump to not pardon the protestors. And based on this alleged demand, which you have not or cannot substantiate, Trump refused to pardon the Jan. 6th protesters. Why did he not pardon them? Because he might experience consequences like impeachment, which is what I said:

Trump’s decision not to pardon Jan. 6th protesters specifically was likely influenced by multiple factors, including political considerations and ongoing legal consequences for himself.

So thank you for agreeing with me. I’m glad we both agree that Trump left those people to rot for four years when he could have done something because God forbid he face consequences. You gotta love a leader who abdicates any and all responsibility, because that’s what leadership is. Totally. 14 year old Richard the II got between his knights and the Peasants Revolt, but, you know, Trump didn’t wanna get impeached. Because that’s clearly such a scary prospect when (1) the last dudes who got impeached continued to live decent lives and (2) he was going to be out of office in 11 days anyway.

The rest of your post is more ball-slurping. Yeah, people tried to kill Trump. Yeah, you could make an argument that the security detail was designed to fail. What does that have to do with him ditching the Jan. 6 protestors? Oh yeah, nothing. You’re just stacking the deck and attempting to compensate for Trump’s failure with respect to the Jan. 6th protestors. Your post is tantamount to “you can’t be mad at Trump because he’s a victim”. Or, “you can’t be mad at Trump because people still like him”. Well, sorry, I expect the most powerful man in the world to have a bit more strength of character.

With that said, I will praise you for actually articulating your points. Most of the people in this thread rating me dumb are too stupid and servile to manage that. Why people want to keep simping for politicians despite the body of evidence showing that to be a terrible idea is beyond me. Must be daddy issues.

The way the DC jail is acting it had to have been set up by Trump to give evidence for removing DC home rule. "You faggots can't even release prisoners correctly?" It would be an incredibly early victory to just fix DC in 90 days in terms of making them be a 4 block radius and that's it.


From the aftermath of the National Championship game, just a fucking perfect example of women needing some introspection for the next four years. Guys who accomplished things relying on the token woman for one simple job, and it can't be done. Let's push them back towards just looking pretty and loyal like Melania:

It's really unfortunate how the punk movement has been taken over by conformists. It was always political, but the fact that "punks" go around trying to tell other people what to think, how to behave, and what to do is hilarious and sad. It's always been an individualist, do-what-you-want-so-long-as-you-do-it-yourself subculture.

Also, good morning, USPG! Can someone give me a summary of what the fuck happened? I was in the thread for the actual inauguration, but then I had to get back to work and I had a bunch of grass-touching after work for the rest of the day. I know Trump changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America (LOL) and pardoned a shitload of J6ers (has Null commented on this?), but what else? Did he end birthright citizenship? Isn't that constitutional (and thus going straight to the courts)?

Also, what is the deal with the Lakin Riley bill? What was that bill actually about and did Trump just jam it through or did Congress vote on it? I'm seeing some articles that Democrats are in a Schrodinger's Politician situation where they're angry they signed it (which makes Trump look good) but also angry they didn't sign it sooner (because they told their voters for years to shut up about illegals raping and killing their children, which has political consequences).

I cannot fucking believe how much has happened in the past less-than-24 hours and I need some bullet points. Don't make me parse through media articles, I beg of you.

Also, can someone send me videos of the dance? Someone here said the Marine that Vance danced with was so happy to do so, and Trump got some Space Force mamacita.
