Tbh if America stays on these tracks I wouldent mind being in the military.

Agreed especially if the Hegseth doctrine is put into motion.

What I take this to mean is no long pointless Afghanistan-Iraq style long term peace keeping. We shock & awe and then move the hell on. John McCain can roll in his grave.

I wonder how many Californians will refuse to use the water just to own Trump.

Knowing Californians, all of them, they're stupid human beings

Buying school lunch was actually optional at my school. Most days I had my own lunch from home.When you entered the cafe you could go strait to the tables with your own lunch, or go through the kitchen and buy the school lunch and then go to the register and pay $1.35 for it.

Remember those cheese sticks they would serve?

Someone asked me today, "If the northern water that Trump talks about is real, why didn't Newson used it earlier, does he like to see people suffer?"
I answered Yes

As a Californian, this isn’t how they’d do it. Instead they’ll spin it as “Newsom and Biden gave us this water by saving it and Trump is taking credit for it.
They’ll also spin the next draught as “wouldn’t have happened if Trump didn’t waste all the water.”

Of course, these are the same people who ignore that elites live in gated communities where you can be jailed for not watering your lawn, and have their cars washed almost daily, which is the real waste of water

You shouldve been like "no it's fake he's fighting the fires with dreams and jazz hands right now and it's working"

Zach called it. Many such cases 8.5 years later.

And he did bring the water back.

@Gehenna If Trump gets rid of the income tax, what does that do in terms of electricity for Trump's 3rd term, Vance, and the Democrats ever gaining power again?

 

[Bob's Fuckass Head]

Catching up on the thread, but I was watching FOX 29 Philadelphia's footage purporting to be from Trump's remarks at the House GOP Retreat earlier today, and saw something weird in the video.

Watch closely from timestamp 26:05, when Trump mentions signing the EO designating the cartels as terrorist orgs. It looks like there's a very sloppy cut in the video, and I don't understand why there would be any cuts in footage like this. There might be a totally mundane explanation for it, but I don't know how news outlets are expected to behave when reposting footage like this. The audio's weird too, which I'm currently attributing to Trump's voice just being exhausted from overuse.

Relevant portion is clipped below because my autism compels me.

Spoiler: It just looked weird, man

So what you're saying is, I'm right they are stupid people

 

[Hooked on phobics]

If Trump pardons you and your first action is to act like a criminal then I'm glad you're dead. They should all be on their best fucking behaviour to avoid making him look stupid for saving their lives.

you ever consider it might of been a setup? I dont think a guy would so easily throw his life away like that. not in a weeks time. had this even been a month later, maybe, but even if I was suicidal, id at least take a month to get shit in order, talk to people, party, ect. 1 week just seems sus.
its not impossible he could of just lost it, but it seems FAR too convenient when theres plenty of reason to target jan 6 people

 

[autistic dog]

The hardest part for the liberals in accepting what Trump is doing is legal is accepting their guy could've done this for them the entire time.

Trump told that guy specifically that it wasn't supposed to be a pardon just a pass to commit 1 more crime.

@Gehenna If Trump gets rid of the income tax, what does that do in terms of electricity for Trump's 3rd term, Vance, and the Democrats ever gaining power again?

The are a few questions that need answering before a definitive answer forms.

First: Can Trump sell it as entirely being him. This one is the easy one and is as much a certain Yes as can be.
Second: Does it leave any negative side effects? Having him cancel it only to go into a budget crisis would sour it pretty bad.
Third: how soon is it done? This is a very, very rare instance where the longer something has been going the better as you want plenty of time to let people feel the ease on their wallet... as well as give States a chance to drop their own income taxes....
Fourth: Whether states drop their own. If the push is made and succeeds, people will really feel the lack of those taxes on them on a -monthly- basis.

Mine were tiny circular pizzas the school called “universe pizza” and had this weird gooey texture in the center that I can’t describe. They weren’t raw, but just felt almost like an Alfredo sauce thing.
Granted I haven’t had or even seen one of those things since 3rd grade, but the idea brings me back. My elementary school also used to sell ice cream bars every Friday, man did I luck out not being a kid in the Obama years

I remember those. At my school, we used to call them slip 'n slides because the cheese and pepperoni would slide right off the pizza if you pulled on it or tilted your plate too much.

Is his lips in sync with his words? Does his head move weirdly lika an AI deepfake?

If it's a deepfake, it would be an alarmingly good one. The end of the video includes multiple other people, notably Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. YMCA even starts playing and everything - I'd like to think it was just one rogue idiot making a sloppy cut in the original video for reasons known only to him. The only thing bugging me is that I can't imagine what somebody would want to cut in the first place.

 

[Sithis]

Lefties are now shrieking on X about Trump putting a pause on federal grants, because object permanence is the domain of people smarter than coconuts and they're too retarded to grasp that a pause doesn't mean the programs they pretend to care about are going away. Lots of fear mongering among boomers on normiebook about it too because they're worried about medicare and other shit without ever considering that they're just going to be getting rid of all the wasteful shit like free cell phones to migrants etc. Not even orange man could sell gutting all federal grant money considering he is surrounded by people reliant on them, it wouldn't just be political suicide it would be inviting an actual "suicide".

I feel like a lot of it is the typical trickle down propaganda where a few agitators and media heads regurgitate the fear mongering and the witless consumers of it do the legwork. The people who are most likely actually concerned about it are the people who know they've been gaming the system and will now have to find an actual job instead of guzzling taxpayer funds to do nothing.

Yeah, out of the 1500 people pardoned, the CIA singled out some absolute nobody in Indiana for a hit job. They carefully coordinated the hit with a mole they have planted in the state sheriff's department. Double tap to the head, and bang, a loose end is sewn up.

The idea that a guy with a substance abuse and previous criminal record decided to fight a cop during a routine traffic stop is just crazy koo-koo bananas stuff, not even remotely possible, this was obviously an assassination coordinated by both state and federal governments.

>Close with and destroy the enemy
That's very specific wording, was Hegseth a grunt?
