And that will make the cartels fire on American planes? I feel like I just stepped into some kind of bizarro world where all my posts are responded to with total non sequiturs.

"Cartel" in this case being Chinese and ISIS millitantants mascarading as cartel.

"Cartel" in this case being Chinese and ISIS millitantants mascarading as cartel.

I honestly think this is overthinking it. The cartels are so used to violence and threats getting their way... why would that change with it being the US? Or the Countries they are deporting -to-? All they have is violence and intimidation, its all they have ever done. And when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

If for 99.9999% of their existence "Threatening someone to make them not do something" has worked for them, why would they really think it wouldn't work -this- time?

and finally, fire all the sculpters employed at the mint because they are all DEI hires. my fucking god all the new US coinage is so FUCKING UGLY. A coin should be a beautiful sculpture that embodies and represent the ideas of your nation because it is your smallest, most seen ambassador. The USA used to have the prettiest coins in the world because we did not put kings or dead presidents on them:

The new quarters are especially egregious. A bunch of overly detailed portraits of women no one has ever heard of with the world's ugliest portrait of Washington on the obverse, chosen because a woman made it. And no relief on the overly detailed designs because they're too obsessed with the cost to put some force in when striking.

They really need to put Liberty back on the coins.

But also you are wrong and we should keep the denominations as is. Bring back the half cent maybe to make expensecels seethe.

I have a cousin that worked with a food bank and dealt with alot of Mexicans. He told me a lot of then would never used the canned foods like beans and corn. They would buy the dry soup mix in a bag and use that instead.

Thats because they don’t know how to use a can opener.
I said previously in this thread that I worked at a food bank for my highschool community service(for the non-Americans, high school students in America have to do a certain number of hours of community service before they can graduate).
All of the Mexicans that came in to get food were dumb as shit. But they did still take canned goods when they were there.

I think a long term cure for future Mollie Tibbits is...

Marriage and a good dicking if doing premarital or marital sex.

Young women need guidance and as the 2024 election showed, a lot voted Orange Man.

Is it a shame that she died not really especially with how comical it is being done at the hands of a shitskin she loved so much. Anybody who hates their own race I pray gets done in by the groups they worship in similar fashion as the dumb cunt Mollie.

It's mostly just increasingly insane shit I see in my Google news feed.

https://scitechdaily.com/chinas-artificial-sun-shatters-fusion-record-with-over-17-minutes-of-plasma/

https://www.space.com/space-exploration/tech/beam-me-to-the-stars-scientists-propose-wild-new-interstellar-travel-tech

https://www.yahoo.com/news/underground-sub-continents-may-rewrite-192421821.html

The "Chinese Sun" is just a clickbait way of describing a fusion reactor (nuclear reactors are fission).

The space propulsion topic is modern theoretical physics math-wank being used for "science" journalism jerk off material.

The "subcontinent" (subducted tectonic plates) is academic geology being used as fuel for a narrative.

I assume these articles were referenced because they are more reputable than linking to InfoWars, AboveTopSecret, GodlikeProductions, or 4chan. There was an "insider" post on /pol/ today (I scrape data from there). It alleged Antarctic tunnels with warm temps and exotic flora and fauna. Hollow Earth seems to be the replacement for the Flat Earth time waster op.

The spike in /x/ type paranormal related news is probably done to target "chuds" and get them to waste their time on wild goose chases. Like Q-anon, or Flat Earth.

Those that oppose Trump/MAGA can't really use demoralization (too much winning). So they are increasing the schizo red herring rabbit holes.

That's my take, anyway.

hostages don't give a fuck what kind of car they're riding home in, they want to be back home.

Clearly these ones don't, else they wouldn't have left for a free ride here to begin with (while waving their dumb flags on our soil; if it's so great, go back).

I took a stab at it, I present ICE

I don't think I've ever seen a Haitian that didn't have that angry 'stab me, then rape me, then rob me behind the Wallgreens' kind of crazy in their eyes.

Go on, try it... see what happens next.

Aren't those planes carrying Mexican citizens back to their country. Why would you shoot them down? Why kill a bunch of your fellow countrymen?

 

[Hooked on phobics]

Why would you shoot them down? Why kill a bunch of your fellow countrymen?

Because cartels. They rape mexican women anyway as a typical thursday night recreation.

 

[Ahriman]

So, it's been 7 days so far. Doomers have been buck broken to the max.

 

[AnotherPleb]

Why would cartels care enough about immigrants being returned to provoke a war-level international incident with the world's military superpower? That's a suicidal decision over something that seems like it has very little effect on their business.

This sounds like total bullshit meant to rile Americans up.

The cartels absolutely get a massive chunk of those remittances.

And the solution to that is to provoke armed conflict with the premiere military power on the planet? That makes zero sense. It gets the cartels no closer to what they want and guarantees their own destruction.

They assume glowies will leak strikes before they come as they pay the CIA good money.

 

[Spoonge]

Canada stopped circulating pennies in 2013, choosing to round to the nearest 5 cents. It's worked out quite well.

Australia stopped in like the 60s. We've had 5 cents as our smallest coin for my whole life and it works fine.

 

[Disc]

Adding to my own post: There are a ton of reasons to do this in two sections. Practically, if you start hitting places piecemeal you will miss some. Since they are illegal they have much easier times of going underground or just moving, You will have a lot more people able to avoid sweeps if you are doing it like Trump did on his first term. This was a weakness laid bare during said term and Trump's people have had 4 years of being able to plan how to do it better.

Optically, it also works better doing it this way. The first ones taken are the scum of the scum, that Haitian illegal who got taken is now plastered all over Facebook and Twitter. -That- is now the face of the people being deported. The left tried to get ahead of this by showing the obviously staged Illegal mothers weeping but it gained no traction. And since ICE is consciously going around the large communities and just mapping them out... by the time they finally get to the big sweeps it will be thoroughly ingrained in people's minds that the current crop are like that crop. It narratively completely undermines the media attempt to spin it and make hay, especially if when they do the big sweeps they can avoid leaving any stragglers to interview about how "My mother and father just wanted a better life!"

It's also good for the optics of it on the away turf.

Sending the murderers and gangbangers back is just an easy layup. America is 100% in it's right to move them as far away from it's citizens as possible, and any country that tries to turn away it's own citizens is getting the Colombia Colonoscopy.

And after they've accepted their worst criminals... they can hardly turn around and say 'no, we don't want the ones whose only known crime was coming to america', can they?

 

[Homegrown Homophobia]

Today's spat with Colombia and talk of taking on drug cartels in conjunction with Vance's criticism of the intelligence bureaucracy and the weaponization of the government reminds me of the first and second Central American Wars and the Gang of Four deep state within the US government in the background lore from the Cyberpunk tabletop RPG.

Reading the America sourcebook from that game seriously feels so prophetic in light of the last few years.

yall whities just jealous

View attachment 6908066

This is ludicrous. Back in the 1950s, American blacks were probably in their best state, relative to the rest of the country both culturally and economically. In contrast, Japanese-Americans had only just been released from internment camps. Even though the war was over, lingering sentiment remained. Within a generation, the Japanese Americans had caught up to white Americans. While they did eventually get some relief in the 80s, it was a relatively paltry sum (~$65k in 2024 dollars) and the community had largely rebounded beforehand.
In that same period of time, we saw the civil rights movement and the rise of the racial grift. The same talking points are repeated to this very day. Even in the most generous terms, the black community has stagnated entirely, but realistically, it has regressed. What am I supposed to be jealous about that belongs to blacks on a collective level?

 

[Kulee Baba]

Yes, but not everyone is willing to put up the fight like that to get rid of them. Like you said, el Salvador used military, going door to door with guns, and treated them like subhumans to round them up. and they got a ton of shit for "human rights violations" doing it, even if it worked

I think the cartel is a lot like a drunk hobo on a subway threatening people with a knife, most are too worried about getting shanked and so do nothing, even if ultimately dealing with them isn't THAT difficult. Like sure, kicking a hobo to death ISN'T that difficult, but it still risks you getting stabbed, or a ton of people screaming about how you are an awful person for stomping out a homeless man.

Also they must just have sky high corruption if they’re not killing any person with a spine they’re bribing them to hell and back. Just think America’s corruption is a running joke, could you imagine how bad Mexico is? Remember El Chapo’s escape tunnel? How many palms were greased to let a drug kingpin make that grand exit? Maybe Mexico really is a pathetic excuse of the country but I have to believe that if their government wanted to bring the cartels to heel they could have done so, they didn’t because it wasn’t in their interests.

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

On another "Isn't it funny how-" note too, It's genuinely interesting that things as big and important as the geopolitical so heavily mirror the small and petty scale. In real time we're witnessing countries go through the same motions as a spoiled little shithead kid used to a spineless father who just opens his wallet whenever asked and lets him run wild with no consequences suddenly face the harsh real world of repercussions and accountability.

They throw the mother of all tantrums when told NO for the first time in years, til the punishments start being listed and doled out. Then suddenly like magic it's not so fun to be a little shithead anymore. Who knew?

say what you will about columbia, it folded immediately. Nick Rekieta got multiple chances and has taken years fighting the US government.

and was an almost instantaneous response

exactly, these 3rd worlders don't realize they set the pace for everyone else. its like in business, you fire one person to let everyone know you mean business. when i went to school it was the same thing, a teacher gave me detention first day of school just to make sure the rest of class knows not to fuck around. Now that every other country in the 3rd world knows Trump can and will crash your economy at the drop of a hat if you refuse to help america with deportations, not a single one will be willing to risk it, Trump stopping the visas was another smart move, between that and the tax on exports, the poor in these countries don't get hit at all but the rich people who'd be personal associates with their country's president would now be affected and be demanding action now now now now now.

There has also been a TON of weird science news lately. Hollow Earth confirmed, Ivermectrin and some other drug combined curing cancer is entering human trials, new space propulsion technology available, Chinese super AI 150k times smarter than chat gpt. Hell the news has a story about the police using micro tracker drones as alternative to police chase.

I can't help but think something is going on in the background pushing disclosure.

honestly this is the sort of first week in office we expected out of Trump back in 2017, instead of leaks and faggotry. We expected Trump to realize he wasn't "running a business" and everyone was entrenched and ready to fuck him over. Imagine if Trump was as ready to kick ass as he is this time around. Covid wouldn't have even entered the country and 8 years ago our economy would have shot through the roof.

held to it far past reason

literally folded in hours, lolcows here at least vanished offline for that long before responding. The big problem is that spics are the stereotypical "tricky servant" and will go "ok" only to never do whats asked of them or be as lazy as possible about it once the white guy stops paying attention. i'd be shocked if their presidential plane was used for this.

Name one situation where you even needed a nickel or a dime. Quarters are about the biggest still relevant legal tender nowadays.

i've been saying this for decades, boomers still remember when you could get a whole meal for a nickle so they whine about it but yeah coins are the biggest fucking scam. i can't name a single place that takes anything under a quarter outside of a handful of parking meters and its not worth it.

if i was in charge i would do this:

i love how canada does it of just getting rid of the $1 and $2 bill. i'd do one better and have a $5 coin as well, i've never seen an ATM that carries under $10 anyways. OTOH strippers really make so much money off of it, its insane. and i don't enjoy seeing them win. Honestly just get rid of current coins in general. raise the minimum wage to $17 and just have $1 be the minimum. something like only 1 in 5 people make less than $17 and most of them are in those shady "waitress" jobs where they get paid less because of tips or retail jobs, so a minimum wage raise would help most of the country. so just get rid of all past coins, have a $2 Vance coin and a $5 Trump coin and $1 can continue with the silly bullshit coins they have in circulation.

Consider that when El Savador got tired of MS-13 and decided to round them up with the military, the gang just folded.

as much as people whine, crime in general is a case of the justice department sitting on its hands vs the cops not knowing who the criminals are. look how quickly Reagan destroyed the mafia or Mayor Rudy cleaned up NYC, its like Columbia on a small scale, most of these gangsters are so used to the revolving door that the second you punch their lights out they crumble, literally not even a new phenomenon, this is literally why no comic books in the 1940s required an explanation for why villians kept being let out into the streets, all criminals got the same "arrested 5 times in a day" scenario that criminals did during the biden administration.

Reading the America sourcebook from that game seriously feels so prophetic in light of the last few years.

thats because as certain people said in the early 1940s, its the same problems happening over and over again because no one wants to tackle the root causes. people act like cartels or kikes like Epstein and Weinstein only started existing in the 2010s. any person educated and keeping up with the news sees whats going on.

 

[ForTheHoard]

I'm staunchly anti-war, having lived through it myself, but military action against the drug cartels in Mexico seems justified to me. They're actively invading the country and killing Americans on a pretty large scale. They also take a shitload of money out of the US economy. I would prefer the ground troops stay home, though. Between depriving the cartels access to the American market with proper border security, a handful on aerial strikes should finish the job. Drop 500lb JDAMs on their drug/weapon warehouses, then drone strike everyone in a position of power.

While we're at it, Trump should reopen a federal investigation into the murders of Don Henry and Kevin Ives. Mexican cartels were trafficking drugs with the help of the Arkansas state government and it led to the murder of two young boys. Both the state and federal government buried a lot of the information and most of the witnesses were either murdered or thrown in prison. It also strongly implicated involvement from the Clintons, and might break open some information about why everyone that gets close to them dies by mysterious means. Now that the cartels have been identified as terrorist organizations, one of those secret courts could probably issue wire tap warrants on a shitload of US politicians due to the 3 degrees of separation rule. The same one Obama used to wire tap Trump's campaign in 2015. There's a better than 0% chance that Hillary could be getting waterboarded in Guantanamo before the midterms.

This applies to everything.

People always implicitly assume that authorities/business owners/elders have to be mentally older, wiser, and "more proper" than the average person, I believe it's a bias similar to children and their parents, or tribesmen and their leaders.

Which is exactly what they want you to believe, people always assume they are playing 36D chess and that prevents them from being challenged.
Additionally, it's extremely easy to use that "properness" as a cloak to hide your true intentions, and it enhances the power of business-speak, you can give multi-hour long press conferences while saying exactly no info.

All of this is exactly why people like Trump (and, to an extent, Elon too), he acts like how humans act in private, while being effectively one of, if not THE most powerful country leader on the planet.
People can't ignore him, and his extensive business experience makes it trivial for him to pierce through business-speak, and reply with a bunch of targeted threats that tell the other side "I own your economy. Bend over."

Which is to say, America, once destroyed by autism (via trannies), is now being saved by autism (via bypassing business speak and substituting it for reckless action)
