What about Poland? They're pretty protectionist. But a lot former Soviet bloc countries generally are.

Honestly, all of Eastern Europe seems to be the antithesis of Western Europe. To the point where you got folks saying places like Poland are the model to aim for, and places like Poland and Hungary will need to join the USA to save the west.

Hell, I hope you're right. But I think the likeliest post-Trump scenario is a Republican party wearing the trappings of MAGA like a skin suit and then governing like the Mitt Romney cucks that they are deep down.

God, imagine they pull an LBJ on everyone. Genuinely horrifying.

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.

If that was true, explain the clit.

Time for Trump to create a CSA. Central Superintelligence Agency. They're tasked with spying on domestic intelligence agencies, such as the CIA, to ensure they are not trying to sabotage the country by releasing coronaviruses or something.

There's Asian level of hate between countries/ethnicities south of the US.

At least we can all bind together for our hatred of Puerto Ricans.
i have no fucking idea why those island niggers are associated with us

If H1B isn't hired for a senior individual in a niche space that is literally 1/5000 people or more in the field in the USA it shouldn't be granted.

No, those highly specialized fields are the worst to replace with foreigners. There may only be a few dozen job openings for specialist positions in the US every year. Handing those out to foreigners only gimps our own capacity to train and employ our own. It's even worse when you realize that H1B's are often educated at US universities. We're educating our own invaders. Those foreigners wouldn't have had the desired skills if they hadn't learned them in the US. So no, no H1B's, no foreign student spam, and focus on strengthening the American working class.

There's an internal war right now to try and avoid that. It's unclear who is winning internal to the party, but MAGA is making moves.

At the same time, trying to kill your son goes beyond any standard moral convictions

Good thing it’s a hallucination on the part of the son to try and get sympathy points before his 15 minutes of fame are up then. The soy boy freak won’t buy a gun and will just be upset and cry about neglect when daddy doesn’t want anything to do with him anymore

Trump also pardoned Rod Blagojevich, old governor of Illinois ( Arguably when it was at it's most based solely because of him ) so I knew he had the heart but if you didn't know about that or Blago's situation you would have never thought.

Yeah, Blagojevich's conviction was bullshit. All those tapes just sounded like typical political favor trading. The Dems were just mad at him because he broke with the party on a bunch of stuff.

That's Reddit. "YEAH, HE MIGHT WANNA DO ALL THE FUTURISM STUFF I WANT IN MY SOY CAVE, but he said... May the flying spaghetti monster forbid me from saying this... that troons... are bad. Can you imagine this world without transexuals in tech using their power to finger kids and ruin internet communities? What a dystopia."

Less than 5 years ago the same people currently undergoing full blown meltdowns were 100% ready to have Ser Elon implant them with his brainchips so they could live as big titty steampunk tween sex kittens, we're certainly living in interesting times.

When is Trump signing the EO directing the unburying of George Floyd and his reconstruction into the fent-powered George Droyd?

 

[Kola]

So why was his first term so milquetoast?

Zelensky is asking for US troops to aid in Ukraine, I hope the Don gets on camera and tells him, in no uncertain terms, to go fuck himself

Yesterday Zoro got to be in the Oval Office for the first time ever, very surreal. You can see he's amazed by it and Trump's just like "yeah I do shit here, want a coke?"

 

[Conan]

So why was his first term so milquetoast?

From his rogan interview:
He was a newbie in DC and deferred to people he got recommended.
He didn't fathom how bad the rot was.
He believed the system, at its core, worked.

We live in a temporary reality distortion bubble where everything us shitlords have wanted is in a quantum state of existance.

You can goto your HR person right now and tell them the transgender coworker needs gender sensitivity training to not be so weird around you and your HR will comply. If they resist and you can reaise enough awareness for Trump to see it he will force them to.

Funny story back when I used twitter I saw someone posted a picture of the Poland capital building with nazi flags on it and they tried to pass it off as Poland was nazi, when in reality it turns out that it was filming for a ww2 film. This person was also a commie so that explains everything.

Zelensky is asking for US troops to aid in Ukraine

After the peace deal is signed.

 

[Professor Donger]

So why was his first term so milquetoast?

He was fighting the Republican rhino establishment for the first 2 years of his presidency which is why he had to get a lot of what he wanted done through executive order.

Also the Democrats literally did everything in their power to keep him from doing anything. I don't know why or how you don't remember any of this it was literally 8 years ago and very easy to see

From his rogan interview:
He was a newbie in DC and deferred to people he got recommended.

Proof that you can actually get shit done if you want to. People don't understand this is why people love him or why people find him endearing/relatable, he doesn't say "Well, now that I've been elected we need to meet with people, reach a consensus, see how things go" and non-answers like those, he just went out and said "I want that fucking shitty flag off my government buildings right now", which is exactly what any of us would say if we saw one hanged outside our windows.

The only other President that has done shit like this in recent times that I can think of is Milei from Argentina who pretty much disbanded every single one of the shitty government departments that did absolutely nothing. Maybe the one from El Salvador too who solved their crime issues by saying "let's just fucking kill them".
