It’s so fucking crazy to me that an American company has like, sub-Chinese quality and fucking weird, borderline unfunctional designs and just continues to exist on the basis of lefty idiots thinking “well if it would explode in my hand, they wouldn’t sell it to me, right?”
Hi-Points are cheap but they are actually pretty decent in terms of reliably going bang
 
Assange is a consent accident haver and Australian. So fuck him.

Snowden violated his security clearance and leaked classified information. There are protocols for "whistleblowing'. Whistleblowing this was not. For the methods he used for his crime. Just because you enjoyed the information leaked, doesnt make him not a criminal. What's next, pardons for war-thunder leakers cus they were "whistle blowers" correcting the accuracy of ingame assets?

Roger Var should be locked up for ruining the graphics card market and essentially spawning "crypto bros" into existence.

Hi-point is ugly and not very ergonomic, but it's not unfunctional by any means.

I will bet my fucking paycheck some Elizabeth Warren-tier Chief Pastywhite wrote this comment.
As an actual Native American (like, I don't even look white & have darker reddish-toned skin. Which, fyi, is a massive pain in the ass to find a good makeup foundation for; I always end up having to mix blush into my foundation) I say we keep the Europeans. 'cause I like electricity, antibiotics, beef derived from domesticated cattle, ice cream, cotton fabric, potatos, spaghetti, the postal system, the alphabet, tarot cards, Dancing with the Stars, photography, One Direction, Chic-Fil-A, The Sims games *goes on listing cool stuff made by white people...*

My ancestors already got killed off forever ago, and Europeans have been here forever too. Can't we just live and peace while Trump deports South American gang members? It's not like Tren de Aragua cares if the car they're hotwiring is owned by a Native American or not!
 
its not even a thing considering over 60 percent of native americans voted for trump. this is just a coping and seething elizabeth warren pocahontas talking tought online.
I swear, "Cherokee descent" is the biggest fucking giveaway. Every fucking time.
Maybe you get some "Navajo" in the western states. But I swear its "Cherokee" more often than not. There are over a hundred tribes, and half the damn time they could literally just pick a river name or some other geographic feature with an obviously non-anglo, non-spanish, non-french name to go with their "muh native heritage" LARP.

Also note they never say "member of X nation" or "X tribe". They never actually give any meaningful connection to Native American tribes as an ethnicity, they always just say "heritage" or "descent".
And of course they only ever bring this heritage up when its politically convenient.

Their whole goal is to be Dollar General quality for price. You don't get many places that have that ethos when it comes to this. It's not a good thing technically but I get the point.
 
Im too lazy to jump down this rabbit hole. Why did the Ross Ulbrich guy deserve a pardon / how is he a political prisoner? I only know the baseline stuff, ran Silk Road, tried to hire hitmen online (lmfao), things like that.
The issue boils down to that the charges people use to justify his multiple life sentences like the hiring of the hitmen were dropped. Imagine if you were charged with murder and littering, the murder charge gets dropped, but you get convicted for littering, and then you get the death penalty and people justify your death penalty for littering by saying you were charged with murder.
 
It's going to be great to see a bunch of troons flagged when trying to purchase a gun - Then illegally getting a gun, hearing the word "Ay!~ Look at that faggot!" and then turning around blasting only to find out they put holes in some black kids. It's going to be great for future laughs and farm threads.
A ton of those troons are going to find out they are ineligible to buy guns because of how frequently they 5150'd themselves for updoots on social media.
 
There’s one more thing I’d like to highlight about this EO for anyone here who’s not up on the finer points of TERFery. Sorry if it’s been mentioned already in this thread.

This is an ELITE definition of biological sex and it’s incredible to see it in a presidential document.

Defining sex as chromosomal (xx or xy) doesn’t account for differences of sexual development aka “intersex” syndromes. Those syndromes are extremely extremely rare but it still gets people in a fuss that there’s even a possibility of an XXY or whatever. The fact of the matter though is that even if you have an unconventional chromosomal lineup you either make sperm or eggs. One or the other.

I’ve heard that there’s literally only one recorded case in human history of someone making both gametes.
People are already trying to argue that for the first while they all develop female, making everyone female. I don't consider it to be an especially good argument, myself.
 
The Musk salute controversy has revealed the real reason why Trump keeps Elon around: he’s his shield against this faggotry. The media will continue to seethe about Musk while Trump does based things and nobody cares.
I had a feeling it's because if he pisses Elon off by getting rid of him pre-midterms, good chance Musk will help fund rivals seats, making it harder for Trump to get shit done.

Please note the last paragraph of this snippet taken from a Required Bid and Contract document for a city in my state. I remember that when I worked for an A/E firm, I was tasked with identifying RFB's and assembling the proposals for various state, county and city correctional institutions. At the time (back in the 90's) there was a requirement that 10 percent of the contract was to go to WBE/MBE (Women- and Minority-Business Enterprises) which our GC team traditionally fulfilled with one black-owned electrical contractor. I hope that the rescinding of this will also abolish this discriminatory practice (as appears to be the case on cursory inspection) and may the best team win.
