I really do think that his near assassination was a religious awakening for him

All the evidence sure does point to that, he has a justified self righteous anger too. He seems driven by it, and it's not some loud shouty thing, it's just determination.

With the whole rebuilding the Gaza strip, do you think they're going to build the 3rd temple? This coupled with the Project Stargate AI program, I have a feeling Israel and the USA is going to bring about the anti-Christ (or, at least trying to anyways.)

Now I have no idea how Tim recounts Occupy Wall Street now, but I'd like to think that he's savvy enough to know that the Occupy Wall Street protesters undermined themselves with absurd organizational practices (progressive stack, mic check, etc.) and especially power-hungry cliques of activists. It really doesn't take paid plants to accomplish this. Such events are naturally attractive to Leftist activists who are crazy, greedy, and self-destructive all on their own.

I agree that it didn’t take paid plants to HAVE a protest or to be retarded, and I only mentioned Tim Pool to serve as an example of a person who has a quasi religious devotion to making the banks out to be the “master vampire” because it means he doesn’t have to soul search and admit he was a useful idiot who was unquestioningly on the same team as the banks via the democrat party.

Being a ground level democrat, you display a fuckton of cognitive dissonance where your brain just shuts down when you’re asked why you voted for the same people Jaimie Dimon voted for. “Jaimie Dimon is bad, he must have…” what, bought off the politician you voted for? Then maybe you shouldn’t have voted for them!

Civil war. No one would trust the "official story" that the Trump shooter worked alone, no one would buy the shibboleths about peace from Democrats who spent the previous 8 years sperging about insurrections, and liberals in general would not be able to hide their gloating.

I don't disagree, but i don't think it would be one huge group, maybe a couple militias or just a lot of general mayhem and guerilla shit.

Even if you drop Trump down to "vain asshole who cares what he'll be written down in history as" you can still explain 45 and 47. 45 he goes in thinking he can do some fixes, everyone will see it's better, and love him. Win. That didn't occur.

And events leading up to 47 have made him realize there's no need to play nice, just ram as much though as fast as you can and at a minimum, you'll go down in history.

The above is why I think he's way more onboard increasing US territory than people realize. The first country to realize this will have a huge step up, if they want it.

The Trump administration has filed suit against the state of Illinois, Cook County and the city of Chicago, arguing their sanctuary laws “interfere” with Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s ability to arrest and deport illegal migrants — the first of many such lawsuits to come, Justice Department officials told The Post. The suit singles out several state and local laws that the Justice Department identifies as inhibiting the federal government’s ability to enforce US immigration law. “We’ve identified Illinois, the city of Chicago and Cook County as all having laws and ordinances on the books that impede federal immigration enforcement, in particular the Chicago Welcoming ordinance, the Illinois Trust Act,” a DOJ official said.

Both cited ordinances directly reference tying the hands of federal immigration officials. The Illinois Trust Act, signed into law in 2017, reads in part that “State law does not currently grant State or local law enforcement the authority to enforce federal civil immigration laws.” Chicago’s Welcoming City ordinance, passed in 2012 by then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel, includes even more emphatic language, stating, “No agency or agent shall: arrest, detain or continue to detain a person solely on the belief that the person is not present legally in the United States,” among other provisions.

According to the suit, the local laws contradict federal laws that “prohibit state and local governments from refusing to share information,” as well as “restrict local governments from sharing immigration information with federal law enforcement officials,” which it claims prevents ICE and the Department of Homeland Security from identifying “individuals who may be subject to removal.” The suit also notes that the named jurisdictions “refuse to cooperate with detainers,” adding, “so instead of handing over people who are in prison or in jail to federal immigration authorities they will just let folks go.” The official goes on to call the ongoing illegal immigration crackdown “an all-hands-on-deck approach” to supporting President Trump’s immigration priorities, adding that the lawsuit itself is “one tool in our toolbelt” to ensuring the laws are enforced.

Bondi, meanwhile, warned the leaders of other progressive sanctuary cities that “you will be next.” “For too long, leaders in Illinois and Chicago have abused their power by putting the comfort of illegal aliens over the safety and welfare of their own citizens. This ends today. The Department of Justice will no longer stand by as state and local leaders obstruct federal law enforcement efforts, endangering their citizens and the brave men and women in uniform,” Bondi said in a statement to The Post. “If you are a leader of a state or local jurisdiction that obstructs or impedes federal law enforcement, you will be next.”The Justice official also said the department is gearing up to pursue additional legal action aimed at forcing compliance with federal law. “I don’t think this will be the last one that we file.”

All those historically significant photos of George Washington and Ben Franklin.

Ok I get it I meant photos as in images.

I am both reminded and grateful about how autistic everyone is on here

This has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad few weeks for the Democrats.

The USAID thing blowing up is just incredible. The Dems were right: The system is rigged for some people-- they've rigged it for themselves but have decided to pit Americans against each other so that they could continue this criminal behavior in the shadows.

I'm believer of things happening for a reason. Yes, the 2020 Election was rigged as hell and the Biden Administration was a fucking nightmare ... But if that had not happened, then we wouldn't be getting this "scorched Earth" version of Trump right now.

All the Democrats had to do was to let Trump have his second term 4 years ago, and none of this would be happening right now. lol.

If the point is to root out grift -- and I genuinely believe it is -- people like Anita are fun to laugh at but ultimately the wrong target. Any decent grifter right now is shutting down their DEI-themed shell companies and opening up brand new Jesus-themed shell companies.

Real grifters are creating fake anti-abortion charities and using the money to go to Margaritaville and start weed companies. They're enrolling fake students in charter schools and yelling "I love bonuses" while they drink champagne. They're selling fake Bibles to pay for online gambling and diamonds.

If the right wants to do better than the left here, the focus needs to be illegitimate use of funds for good purposes instead of legitimate uses of funds for bad purposes.

They know they can't stop him. They're delaying the inevitable.

Will Paula White get to slap the Satanic shit outta troonz, poonz, goonz, and libtards a la Benny Hinn?

This is the funniest thing to come out of Trump's presidency.

This is the funniest thing so far

 

[LaxerBRO]

They are on /r/atheism right now. Total meltdown. I'd archive it but I'm currently busy.

r/Atheism is funny because they are now outraged that Trump is ending sanctuary protection on ICE enforcement against religious sites.

But in any other case, they would object religious sites being treated with deference by the government.

One recently laid-off USAID employee, who asked not to be named for fear of not finding another job

They know. They fucking know what they are is abominable. And the moment we find out who they are they'll be shunned from polite society.

They tried to make him a one term wonder

Instead they gave him a three act dramatic arc

I used to buy the narrative about OWS being undone by glowops as well. And don't get me wrong, I believe there were ops afoot. But I reflect back now all these years later and am struck by two things:

1. Populism is fake and gay. Without elite leadership of the right kind, a mob is just a mob or, worse, astroturfed containment ala the Tea Party. OWS was never going to go anywhere for that reason.
2. If your broad, class-based movement could be so easily shattered on gender, racial, etc, lines then it was a doomed movement. People have been trying to make multi-racial, multi-national class based movements work for centuries and they were working with human beings who were objectively smarter, stronger, healthier, more pro-social and living in worse conditions than what we have today. It didn't work for them either. So maybe that entire project is a pipe dream, the proles are too clannish to organize around anything that abstract, and hierarchy is inevitable.
