God, Vance kicks ass every time he's on camera.

It's like night/day difference with Pence as VP. Pence was serviceable but Vance is actually likeable and has a similar relatable quality to Trump

It really is incredible that people who profess to hate Christ, also claim to speak for him.

They do so because they want to emotionally manipulate those that believe in Christ to surrendering to whatever bullshit they're trying to push. "Jesus was a refugee" is one of their more common lies. Jesus lived when the Romans ruled Judea and Egypt. Going from one to the other was the equivalent of going from Ohio to Alabama.

That's very specific wording, was Hegseth a grunt?

From what I can find, yes, he started as infantry in the Minnesota National Guard. He volunteered for Iraq from 2005-2006 and was an infantry platoon company leader, later he was a CMO. He also saw combat while in Iraq, almost got iced by an insurgent using an RPG but the RPG failed to detonate when it struck the vehicle he was in.

TSMC tariffs are retarded and they’re happening because the worst parts of tech are shifting their compute performance blame onto the Taiwanese for not making niche worthless chips built solely upon the abstract idea of AI. What you’re witnessing is the SV death cult where they will continue to throw in money before being fucked by DeepSeek again with r2.

SV will seriously torpedo any relations we have with Taiwan for the sake of profit. If the Taiwanese economy sinks it might genuinely convince them to rejoin the Mainland, good lord

The confirmation hearing for RFK is going to be a serious make or break moment for Trump.

Smartly, its been pushed back a bit to give Trump time to build momentum and he's been taking advantage of the time to gather strength. As I said in my earlier post, Trump is well aware of the strength of 'soft' power you accrue by being proactive and 'winning'. He's been laying the groundwork to seem potent, effective, and threatening so when it comes time to 'tard wrangle the party he's got the juice for it. We saw how Hegseth was a tough fight prior to this groundwork, but became part of it by using Vance to buck break Congress right to their face. They've already failed once, and Trump has been winning ever since. That has to be demoralizing.

Its important, too, because getting RFK to cross the aisle was a massive coup. Trump has to deliver what he promised, otherwise he's going to look weak. Right now he can't afford a single misstep.

Pence has already paid enough congressmen to vote no on RFK. He's not getting confirmed.

The later, tbh. I want a wall so armed that the Israelis will look at their Iron Dome and think it's made out of chalk. This includes the border of Canada too, I don't want pajeets, thank you.

If there's no automated killer drone swarm patrolling southern border by the end of Trump's term, I'd be really disappointed

Regrettably, with the current level of technology, it's not possible to miniaturize laser weapons this powerful in order to fit eagle drone swarms. Best we can do is high explosives.

CNN news woman getting pissed and making faces at the analysis that Donald Trump is not only more popular in this second term first month then the first term...

He's the first president in history to start out more popular in his second term January then his first term.

Unconfirmed rumors that certain cartels are going to attempt to shoot down a USAF cargo plane carrying back the deportees.
Now I don't wanna go shoot at and get shot at by Iranians, but I'll absolutely Einsatzgruppen some beans.
Uppity little cunts.

They are armed enough to pull this off, especially with the sheer amount of stuff that got sold off from the Ukrainians. They'd be stupid to do so, but they have some teeth.

Cartel moves into your neighborhood and opens a drug lab? Punisher.
Rape gangs are roaming your streets and taking girls away? Punisher.
The ChoMo in your neighborhood moved back after being released? Punisher.
