So I saw a part of that kalama interview where the dude was pressing her about how the number of people crossing the boarder quadrupled and she was so mush mouth about how she needs an act of congress.

When reallistical they opened the doors to those people and it pissed the mexicans off so much they voted for el trumpo.
 
Try this link (FCC actually doing something good for a change):

Thank you, the link is helpful, but perhaps you don't realize how bad things truly are: the video that got taken down was Uncivil Law's unmistakably transformative stream where he watches the entire thing, compares different released versions to help evaluate the investigations being undertaken by the FCC and FEC, and pauses all of it constantly to yell at the screen in frustration. And CBS just struck the whole thing, likely because they are fucking babies who got caught with their dick in the cookie jar.

Journalists, etc, you know the rest.

@ me if you find a re-upload. It seems worth watching.
 
I think you are being a bit optimistic. But It does also sort of make sense to shove it all into something like USAID. It's the sort of shit a milquetoast rhino aligned republican would never dig into anyway because it sounds too gay and lame to bother investigating so the petty stuff of the middle managers all got pushed through USAIDS. But I guarantee there is stuff in the DoD and other places that's just as bad if not worse.
“Hey guys what if we put all our shady stuff with insultingly obvious fraud into a file cabinet and write ‘boring stuff’ on it?”

I just took a quick look and it doesn't seem like stuff's up to date on his Rumble, someone who's more familiar with him might know if it was restreamed anywhere but I couldn't find it. It's surely the most interesting way to watch the interview, but to be honest it was still mindnumbing, it's just constant non-answers, there's not a whole lot for Kurt to even dig into. Right at the beginning he talks about the controversy that set it off, where people knew CBS fucked around with things because a preview for the episode showed her answering a question one way (very unfocused), and then in the broadcast version her answer to the exact question was completely different footage, meaning at least one had to be edited.

Them taking down this shit just reminded me of the Han Asshole Solo thing with CNN. It's some consolation that they're losing so much relevance that people just call them out openly now, but these networks cannot die fast enough. I've seen takes where people like how Vance handled himself in his Face The Nation interview, but they're still furious with him overall that he even gave them the time of day instead of just going on another podcast or something.
 
Politico has received at least $8.2 million from the U.S. government in recent years, with $44,000 of that coming from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), according to USAspending.gov. Musk, the world’s richest man now in charge of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has announced plans to cut funding for USAID.

We might get total banker death if this is true. People are saying the banks have USAID like funds that are being used for more stupid lefty causes.

dirty money is like a hydra, for every time you shine a light on DEI funding, or money for Ukraine that never makes it to Ukraine, or FTX, or USAID corruption, there's several more heads operating in the shadows. Celebrate the victory but the battle will need to be continuous.

There's absolutely no way USAID was their only slush fund.

Did you think the banks were canceling Conservatives out of the goodness of their heart? No, they were canceling them cause they shoved slush funds into the banks (probably to keep them alive) and let them keep the interest on those funds. In exchange, they know who to obey when the black letters come.
 
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.
Nah, the zeitgeist is just shifting in our favor. Fingers crossed that they catch up to me at the "Hang Communists" level.
 
I know Temu is a shit site, but it's quite literally the only place you can buy certain items (In my case, microneedle cartridges because the stupid FDA forced USA sellers to stop selling them). Are these new shipping fees from China going to stick around? Trying to decide if I should stock up now before things get worse or if I can just wait it out.
 
Since were huffing copium, I'm going to cross my fingers and hope Trump allows manufactuers to make simpler cars that dont need tons of electronics. I want a simple little truck with no bells or whistles.
The EPA and NHTSA seriously needs to get the fucking axe. They are the worst agencies, the worst people to ever exist in this universe, they literally worse than Satan, i'm not even joking. I hate them so fucking much. NHTSA specially so, fuck them specially hard.
