Glad I'm not the only one. I'm very glad that Trump is president (and even more importantly, that JD is with him) but Elon is a fucking snake and I'm tired of feeling like I have to pretend he isn't.
I think he’s okay so long as he’s kept on a very tight leash, and can only bring attention to wasteful government spending. I absolutely don’t trust him on anything like immigration. If he has another fiasco like what happened over Christmas, I want him kicked to the curb for good. He’s still a massive opportunist, but I’ll say at least one good thing he’s done is help get a lot of feds off of government payrolls. Outside of that, I’m not a fan of his business practices and him being a deadbeat dad. Elon has use, but it should always stay very limited.

I explained to a close friend the other day the duplicity of the democrat takes on the women's sports issue and she finally got it. The whole women's sports thing is a total red herring to Democrats, it's an insidious attack vector that is truly evil at its core. It's a slight of hand to get YOU--you casual transphobe, you--in your generally-disinterested-about-greater-trans-issues mild outrage to agree to some greater evil. The Progressives said it themselves, no one cares about this issue...

Except people DID care about this issue. It's a totally self-evident thing: women's sports reason d'etre is to be DISCRIMINATING; the rules exist, the leagues exist, the BINARY exists and it only remains COMPETATIVE to keep men OUT.

So why do THEY fight so hard for this issue that THEY admit they don't care about (but like 72% of Americans DO!)?? Because of the truly vile outcome their false facade of caring: to get TRICK normie "sports-centric-casual-transphobes" (i.e. most reasonable people) to implicitly "okay" and greenlight giving kids puberty blockers as EARLY AS POSSIBLE...

Hey man, gotta get these kids on puberty blockers super early in the rare chance this one dreams of and then becomes a competitive athelete..! AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, DAMMIT I WANT MORE GOLD AT DA 'LYMPICS! Shiiiit, you can't ROB them of their RIGHT TO SPORT!

It's so fucking sick.

The Right to Sport is the right to FAIR sport.

I feel you @Null. I feel you. Canuckistan is worse and every day is hell here.
Gonna have to disagree with this. The United States forest service is arguably one of the most positive and useful federal government departments. They consistently release helpful and comprehensive educational materials related to various different species of woods and the engineering properties of wood in construction.


I'm fine with my tax dollars going toward an organization which provides benefits directly to the public and enables and encourages them to succeed. The people who worked on this stuff have genuinely benefited most Americans living in New construction.

Edit: and yes that is 500 pages of wood facts.

To think people can hate this man 🥺

Where the fucks my country’s Trump :(
Don't worry
General George C. Marshall said:
We are determined that before the sun sets on this titanic struggle, our God-Emperor* will be recognized throughout the world as a symbol of freedom on the one hand, of overwhelming power on the other.
*quote may be slightly altered according to keikaku**
**keikaku means Make All Countries Great Again
 
All I know is the trans in women's sports shit redpilled the hell out of my 11 year old niece.
The best part is Overton window shift **regardless of this coming generation of voters** the distance shifted already is INSANE. No one cares about this shit anymore. It's great. Infact, it's the economy, stupid.

At this rate, when the pendulum starts swinging back it won't be "the slippery slope fallacy" it will be a deterant known as the "slippery slope guarantee"

"Where will this concession lead?"

Imagine a society smart enough to consider that? I think I'd call it a Republic.

They lost access to SWIFT and got it back after Benedict resigned. USAID isn’t involved in that. Catholic Charities in the US is co-opted by Glowies and Francis is a fucking commie, though.

This has been something known since Benedict resigned, then expanded in 2016, and then further when Benedict’s death letters were published.
 
I watched a interview with Bill O'reilly (fuck it! we'll do it live!) who has known Trump for 35 years and he said Trump befriended Elon Musk because in Trumps opinion, Elon is the most powerful man in the country besides Trump himself. He sees Elon as having ownership of the flow of information via his ownership X/Twitter. it was a interesting insight i thought.

He also said Trump loathes Joe Biden because he is a loser and weak. O'reilly said that the worst thing you can be is a loser in Trumps eyes. if you are not a loser Trump is all for reconcilliation, see his interaction with Obama at Carter's funeral and his forgivness of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio and others.
 
All of you concerned about the Muslims seem to have missed the part where Trump implied that he’s deporting the Palestinians to Arab countries.
That doesn't change much. All it does is cause the Palestinians to shit up all the surrounding Arab states like they did to Lebanon and it becomes a massive issue further down the line. Jordan - and by extension, King Abdullah, the closest thing we have to a level-headed modern-day warrior king - in particular doesn't deserve this.

What Trump loves is people who opposed him and weren't cowards coming over to his side later. Massages his ego like nothing else, strenk respecting strenk. So long as his strenk is the one being respected more
 
Every day I’m more convinced that Vance, Stephen Miller, Barron, or some senior member of Trump’s admin reads this thread. The Orange Man seems know what our concerns are.
Miller is the best /ourguy/ I can think of. Literally look back to his interview last week and a bit on Fox i think. He mentions the gov bureacrats overwhelming support of one party over another and the first thing he addresses when questioned is USAID. He had the numbers first, obviously, he mentions the 97% of political donations by USAID staff were given to the Democrats or Progessive orgs. Everyone thought it was a B.S. number, but here we are, now knowing it's real. Then we saw where the USAID money went. Holy shit!

It is scary to think when he was like 29 in 2015 he looked like THAT though. G.D.

Steve Bannon was shaping this thread of discontent long before this website was founded. His work pushing the tea party helped in large part the 2010 red wave.

Elon is going to be the single most important person in the GOP when Trumps term is over so people just need to just understand that. Short of him doing some pedo shit or something at that level he isn't going anywhere.

He was willing to put everything on the line (if Trump lost all of his companies would be nationalized or shut down and X would've been taken away by force and then they would go to work on him) and drop what is easily over a billion at this point and probably at least another billion in the next 4 years on races at every level. Every other billionaire who gives money wants all sorts of bullshit platitudes but Elon cut massive checks each month and made super PAC and then parked himself in the most important swing state (PA) for months. Even Steve Bannon flat out says Elon should get whatever the fuck he wants he basically funded the entire ground game of the GOP himself.

I don't like his H1B stance either but he should get and deserves special treatment because other then Trump himself no one risked more. If it takes 100k H1B 80iq pajeets imported into some Space X factory to work 100 hours a week for him to be happy then so be it.

In regards to Japan taking in Palestinians: There has been growing resentment between the Japs and refugee/tourists lately. Earlier this week there was an incident where an entire fucking group of tourists nearly got run over by a train in Kyoto because they weren't listening when they said " when the bars come down don't cross".

Though I can't remember if it was the Pakistani or Africans that were causing a bunch of trouble recently. At any rate Japan is becoming very unfriendly to gaijin in general. There are signs on restaurants telling foreigners to fuck off or at least a month or two ago there were.

This was after another incident in Kyoto forced them to actually prohibit gaijin from a section of Kyoto near where the geisha live. Also Japan might be kinda lazy on the cop front, but holy shit their border control is johnny on the spot if it's time to go home. They will literally send people to search for your ass if they have no records of your departure from the country by the time your visa is up.
