I wonder how Jeb is taking all of this winning

 

[Mysterious Girlfriend X]

"The Green New Deal was a disgrace"
"It was conceived of by people who were... less than average students"
"It was just a game"
"remember when the world would end in 12 years"

God yes, it's so satisfying to listen to him call out their Malthusian doomsday bullshit to their faces.

Pence was being groomed into that role as well, and look what happened. To his credit, Pence was given a very bad PR situation and he handled it as best he could, J6 Trump was political poison.

The “best he could” would have been to triple down and defend the rights of the people when the election was stolen. Pence was a limp dick turn coat with no moral values.
Vance meanwhile was the second youngest congressman and is currently the third youngest vice president ever. He has a long career ahead of him, is far more energetic than Pence ever was, and seems far more willing to take the crown in 4 years.
It can of course still go south; but I do have optimism

 

[shekelshoah666]

Ratcliffe is confirmed 74-25 btw.

Hegseth currently has 51 votes with Turtle voting yes to advance to final vote so even if he changes Vance can tie break.

 

[browserbowser]

you morals are not shown and defined when its easy and popular to implement them but when its painful and feels wrong that defines when you really mean what you say about tolerance, acceptance and love or if those were just politically expedient talking points to silence opponents and solidify power bases

You know them by their fruits and all that.

 

[BallsMcLongDong]

Even if right wingers will draw a comparison, it's usually to laugh at the parallels like Trump being in Wrestling and acknowledge it some foresight into American culture. Anyone who calls it a "documentary" is a reddit retard.



Dudes, the blood test was bunk. You test yourself "negative" and have a subordinate act out a positive result to give the test credence. You increase the chances at least you will survive to wait for the next retarded group of humans to thaw you out if you can't manage to get your hands on transport to warmer climate.

It's what I would do in that situation. Theoretically of course.

That's what you'd do, because you aren't Kurt Russel. The Thing infected him, and then his Kurt cells proceeded to body the absolute fuck out of the Thing cells so hard that they fled out in one of his scotch induced diarrhea spells.
Actually this reminds me of one of my favorite stories.
While filming a movie, I believe in South America, the entire crew of a Frank Sinatra film got malaria. Aside from Frank and the Director, who for the entire shoot, drank basically no water and only liquor. They were so liquored up that mosquitos refused to bite them, and any that did basically got sterilized from the amount of alcohol in their bodies.
This is why MacCready survived.

 

[California Newt]

If he was that stimming type of freak, he'd be putting figurines in cum jars

I'm not gonna let you slander the Rainbow Dash cum jar guy like that. I was in that original /mlp/ thread over a decade ago—that was a high functioning nor/mlp/person.

Edit: I'm not saying I endorse his actions.

So why is nobody talking about this freak?

Why do kiwifarm users listen to random retards schizoposting on twitter and take it as gospel? Do you really think the $204 billion dollar CEO spends his time working dark plots with the CIA (of all agencies) to fucking turn them into Josef Mengele-like test subjects?

 

[JambledUpWords]

I want everyone here to really think of how horrible the 250th would have been under the Harris Misadministration.

America’s 250th Celebration under Kamala Harris:

• Nichole Hannah Jones, creator of the 1619 project, will give an overview of America’s history, saying it is prosperous because of slaves that built everything
• Amanda Gorman will have a poem on overcoming discrimination, and how everyone in the world is a US citizen, because tolerance, acceptance, and diversity are our biggest strengths
• Parade will emphasize all women battalions
• Another talk will be given by Laverne Cox on how the abolition of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell was a crowning achievement in the military, and that gay marriage being legal, and the increasing trans rights, are why America is great
• Air show will be provided by female, black, indigenous, and pilots of other races
• Music provided by:
  • San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus
  • The original cast of &Juliet
  • Pattigonia, a drag queen
  • Beyoncé (she finally got paid enough to perform)
  • Against Me, a band with a troon in it
  • Taylor Swift
• The progressive Pride flag will be as featured as the US flag
• Kamala Harris will give a speech on how diversity is our strength, and how the US is a nation of immigrants
• You might mistake this for being a pride parade, but it’s actually America’s 250th birthday

Yes

(of all agencies)

Why not more?

to fucking turn them into Josef Mengele-like test subjects?

This is the contentious part

Its offical: The Poo has been flushed because of that Christmas day tweet

I hope this helps sour Trump completely on H1-Bs and Indians in general.

The irony of saying that American workers are lazy and deserve to be replaced because they prize mediocrity leading to your own replacement....
Pure poetry. Truly a golden age filled with stories that mirror plot twists found in Greek myths.

Tulsi is going to be the hardest confirm the machine is moving hard against her behind closed doors currently

I think you meant RFK Jr.

So why is nobody talking about this freak?

AI has been able to detect cancers before they even officially develop and they just look over already routine scans so that's a nothingburger.

mRNA vaccines however are still very much unproven and dangerous

So why is nobody talking about this freak?

Id like to run defense on this point a little bit, no powerlevel but Im a computer toucher and this whole move is better than I can even accurately describe

Im going to VASTLY oversimply a couple super complicated points

1. By conventional computing china has us by the balls, we made the genius decision to allow them to manufacture almost all consumer level modems, mobile phones, and personal computers. I CANNOT overstate this enough, ALL consumer level electronics much more complicated than a light switch from china are compromised and capable of compromising whatever network they are able to attach to. THEY ARE BETTER THAN US AT THIS, by like a disgusting margin to ( not my opinion, see the DoDs, fbi, and cias join whitepaper they released in conjunction with House committee on homeland defense, they claim its a 50-1 disparity in ability and knowledge)

2. We are not trying to make a "bigger" chatgpt we are trying to make a AGI, Artifical General Intelligence, think like Jarvis or Hal 3000. A truly sentient computer that we could use to purge our existing systems of these breaches as we have no conventional way to do this.

3. this system would be able to logically if not physically segment the united states from the rest of the worlds "network" and begin to build what we call the "Walled Garden" where there is unlimited trust once inside but it requires an system set up in a way that other systems cannot connect to with explicit permission or otherwise. It has to be completely contained and self sufficient and manufactured IN HOUSE, much like what Apple has built.


ALSO

 

[666NASTYFUCKINGFREAK666]

Yes


Why not more?


This is the contentious part

I suppose - there are better agencies for this though.

Let us thank god that... uh... Ian Carroll, whoever that is, managed to bust this CIA plot wide open!

 

[HTTP Error 404]

it's a little blurry but when Trump was ripping that BoA asshole a new one it looks like all the other groveling bughivers had shit eating grins on their face
View attachment 6894964

Remember, being angry at the system, demanding the system fix itself, mocking the system... still means you're accepting the validity and authority of the system.

Trump telling BOA that he needs to stop debanking Conservatives inherently includes the message: "You have the authority to debank people."

The proper stance is "You will stop this immediately or we will nationalize the money transfer system with a mandatory implementation of FedNow for all banks doing business with Americans alongside setting up the post office branches across the US as banking institutions again, and you will permanently lose your authority over commerce."

It's why they don't mind if you rant about eating ze bugs or living in ze pod. The proper response isn't "I will not eat the bugs" it's "We're going to outlaw the sale and consumption of bugs."

 

[SaidNoOneEver]

So why is nobody talking about this freak?

First of all this Ellison thing isn't new, it was first announced over a year ago. I guess they're just throwing Trump a bone by making it sound new. It's also all hype, nobody expects anything to come of it.

 

[northstar747]

I'm lucky to say Ive never disagreed politically with a friend or family member to such an extent that I could not put it all to the side in a moment of crisis

I have a liberal friend he works in state regulatory body. Lives in a liberal college suburb.. he came from white trash and applied himself.

He s a good worker smart and educated. He and his wife probably ear over 250k and year the house he has is worth maybe 900k.

Has two white children and boy and girl.

I find it best not to be emotionally charged with him I repeat talking points from here.

The July assisnation attempt cooled him off he was scared trump won. He has a trans neice and when that came up I asked him hoe he could have a son and daughter and not see the differences I asked if his kids were born that way or assigned that shit.

He just sighed

He also understands that systems have limits so you can argue that infinite illegals are bad and his logic get over ridden because of social pressure

If you took away the phobia indoctrination and social pressure discourse would be alot more boring.

This people want to be winners above all else

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

That's what you'd do, because you aren't Kurt Russel. The Thing infected him, and then his Kurt cells proceeded to body the absolute fuck out of the Thing cells so hard that they fled out in one of his scotch induced diarrhea spells.

Dude....I hate to break this to you but no one survived. That was kinda the point of the ending.
