I can't remember where I read it within the last year, but I thought I read something that nearly every American with an SSN has had their information compromised and posted to the dark web. Not to be dismissive, but I can't picture Musk and DOGE doing anything more nefarious than the people exchanging the info on the dark web. 🤷‍♂️
it's even more silly when you consider microsoft is a government contractor too (take a guess where all that data is sitting and what software they're using to access it), and for the last 8+ years zuck and google were happily sucking democrat cock. same democrats which turns out are highly corrupt.
but yeah sure, they never ever gave any other "unelected bureaucrat" access, no way, that would be a step to far for people selling out their own people and country.

otoh as some maritime retard was screeching it's not the same data and he's actually right, USAID doesn't have much use storing glowie personal files... or anything else than transactions where the money went. which should be public anyway. so elon taking a look should be fine, unless someone thinks there's something he shouldn't see, and then why not?

they are both infinitely fragile and infinitely influential.
this. someone else said two fronts, even if trump would be hitler reincarnated as some people want/fear, there's only so much he can do (at once) given what certain demographics on certain levels look like. no point in picking battles you can win (yet), especially since no one knows what the next 3/5/7 years will actually look like and how everything happening now will affect everything long term (and in areas most people didn't think about or expected).
 
Take Trump's actions on trannies alone, and we have the best president in recent history. Trump has been the only president with the balls to stand up to the Orwellian doublethink that's been pushed for the past decade or so. Every other president has been too cowardly to tackle something like that. Too corrupt, too much a product of the swamp, too immersed in political correctness. Ever since Trump initiated TTD on day one, my respect for him has gone up greatly, because I see now that Trump isn't afraid to stand by his principles, even if he is going up against the whole leftist deep state corporate ESG DEI hydra with trillions of dollars in funding. Which he is somehow dismantling with ease, which is shocking. These people have been concentrating their power in every Western government and every national and international corporation since 2008, and he's going to root them all out and destroy them just like that?

I'll admit, I used to doubt Trump during his first term because of several reasons: he didn't fulfill a lot of his promises, he was way too close with Israel, he left the Jan 6ers to rot, etc. Of course I always liked his bravado and his charisma, but I thought it was all on the surface with not too much substance. I thought he was just another businessman looking to enrich himself and his buddies off of becoming the president. But now I think something has changed in him. I think it was after he was an inch away from having his brain explode. I think that moment when Trump was almost assassinated gave him the motivation to make the most of the rest of his life, and now he's really trying to solidify himself as a great figure in history who made a positive impact on the world. So now we have this second term, where he's back and better than ever. Now, I will always be wary of if he does something stupid in the future, and I will definitely criticize him if that time comes. But as long as he keeps doing what he's doing now, I salute him and his efforts, and wish him a successful four years.
 
You needed to post the visual representation. For full effect.

you guys have no idea, look into the Cilley-Graves duel

Fields of Blood is an incredible book on it and how poltical violence is right before out right war

this duel was only a few years before the civil war, and it involved 2 sitting us congressmen dueling to the death
 
I think people that have this mentality at this point are impossible to reason with. I don’t think they are capable of rationalizing or critically thinking anymore, sadly.

As the saying goes, you can't use reason to talk a person out of a belief that they didn't use reason to arrive at in the first place. They'll cool down eventually if they don't go completely off the reservation. In the meanwhile you propose small wagers against them over their insane beliefs. Putting actual money on anything makes people step back from the insanity a bit or makes you a little bit of beer money.

What's the point of some random judge trying to stall for time? Oh boy this sucks guess we're fucked oh wait here's another judge we found to overturn your decision.

I'm assuming it's to try to destroy evidence or failing that to try to get everyone on the same page so that if there is any investigation they don't wind up getting caught in an obvious lie when someone else accidentally tells the truth or doesn't have the same lie as everyone else.

Congress was better when doing shit like that got you fucking caned

I think at the very least she should get a spray bottle or a water gun that she can use to spritz misbehaving senators with when they act out like that.
 
Take Trump's actions on trannies alone, and we have the best president in recent history.
Imagine traveling back in time some twenty years and telling yourself that “fat disgusting men with floppy penises can’t be women” makes a president the best in recent times.

What a world we’re in.

Little bit more than that. 25 years before the Civil War.
