My boss has a couple of positions opened in the D.C. for a few years now with zero applicants. In the last couple of weeks since the Trump firings he told me he now has 30+ new applicants he has to review. lmao

This may have been posted and I missed it, but the EU is considering lowering tariffs on US cars to stop Trump from placing on tariffs them.

They are thinking of lowering tariffs on cars from 10% to 2.5%, as well as buying more natural gas and military equipment.

Good first step, but Trump needs to push harder.

These comments hint that the EU has no intention of importing American cars:



Typical European trick, claim to be a "free market" while crafting regulations that only allow their products to be sold. Trump needs to tell them to knock this childish crap off and force them to repeal their regulations as well as their tariffs.

Does anyone have that graph about what people in the west vs east care about? It was like a radar heat map sort of thing.

Sonia Sotomayor demonstrating why she's an unprofessional shitbird: "Sotomayor hits presidential immunity decision in first public comments since new Trump admin." Also, looks like lots of archive sites aren't working today - I tried to archive an article earlier today and Ghostarchive told me the page was too big. Never had this issue before.

If the liberal judges are going to do shit like this, I hope Clarence Thomas comes out and says Sotomayor is a fucking retard and the dumbest judge he's ever worked with.

“I think the immunity case is one of those situations,” she continued. “I don’t think that Americans have accepted that anyone should be above the law in America. Our equality as people was the foundation of our society and of our Constitution.”

Can you please explain to me why your fellow judge excused actual pedophiles because "they were only on those sites for 15 minutes"?

PLEASE!

including an exhibit for Fauci at the NIH museum that cost $168,000.

Problem though is that the right has famously gone out of their way to suck fossil fuel dick as hard as humanly possible, and Trump has proven to continue that trend. One of his first executive orders opened Alaska to exploitation.

The right should be pivoting as hard as it can to nuclear if they want to be seen as environmentally friendly again. A few concessions to the department of the interior would help too.

I'll be brief and just state that I agree that we need to lean hard into nuclear power. Like, fuck it, RTG powered cars and houses. However Trump's choice to lean into fossil fuel is more about lowering energy and logistics prices in the short term to lower and stabilize the cost of living and make good on his campaign promises. It's quick to reopen a coal power plant that was mothballed or to run extra shifts at the refinery making diesel. What's not easy is setting up new nuclear plants and staffing them with competent people. You can't even really recommission an old nuke plant because the reactor chamber gets filled with concrete and add to that the plant would need a retrofit anyways because the advances we've made in the nuclear front in just 10 years mean you need entirely different equipment to use the new radioactive fuel. But seriously if you're interested in advocating for nuclear power then look up RTG's, amazing piece of technology. I'm still surprised that we're talking about strip mining lithium for electric cars when we've had a better option since 1954.

This sounds fascinating and all but I thought troonism was just perverts who coomed to the anime dickgirl too much now they can't separate porn from reality and want to be the dickgirl

I think it's 50-50. Porn addiction is definitely the cause of most adult troons, but "trans kids" are like vegan dogs, baring sexual unknown sexual abuse, it's a parental figure that's responsible.

It takes a lot to shock me in current year, but the last month has been insane. I don't think libertarians could have done this much internal damage in a single term, let alone a month. Trump invented a time machine and used it to swap Mitt Romney out for Ron Paul. If any libertarian boo's Trump after this, they deserve to lose a hand.

 

[HOMO FOR LIFE RETURNS]

PLEASE TRUMP

CONQUER US. CANADA REQUIRES LIBERATION.

 

[pwnest injun]

I saw that Bibi gave Trump a golden beeper at a recent meeting.

Trump needs to present Bibi with a new Liberty award, that's a golden trophy of the USS Liberty.

Except for the Gaza bullshit, this has been a fortnight of undeniable wins.

Edit: I've only been hitting highlights, when are the RFK and Tulsi confirmations?

You got a domination kink?

Maybe you could read the Secretary of Energy's orders before complaining about a strawman:

2. Unleash American Energy Innovation:​

The Department’s Research and Development (R&D) enterprise is the envy of the world. We must focus our time and resources on technologies that will advance basic science, grow America’s scientific leadership, reduce costs for American families, strengthen the reliability of our energy system, and bolster America’s manufacturing competitiveness and supply chain security. As such, the Department’s R&D efforts will prioritize affordable, reliable, and secure energy technologies, including fossil fuels, advanced nuclear, geothermal, and hydropower.

The Department must also prioritize true technological breakthroughs – such as nuclear fusion, high-performance computing, quantum computing, and AI – to maintain America’s global competitiveness. To that end, the Department will comprehensively review its R&D portfolio. As part of that review, the Department will rigorously enforce project milestones to ensure that taxpayer resources are allocated appropriately and cost-effectively consistent with the law.

6. Modernize America’s nuclear stockpile:​

We urgently need to modernize the nation’s nuclear weapons systems. The Department will continue its critical mission of protecting our national security and nuclear deterrence in the development, modernization, and stewardship of America’s atomic weapons enterprise, including the peaceful use of nuclear technology and nonproliferation.

7. Unleash Commercial Nuclear Power in the United States:​

The long-awaited American nuclear renaissance must launch during President Trump’s administration. As global energy demand continues to grow, America must lead the commercialization of affordable and abundant nuclear energy. As such, the Department will work diligently and creatively to enable the rapid deployment and export of next-generation nuclear technology.

at this point, I'm not even mad anymore, I'm just dumbfounded.

We are thoroughly dominated by our own government.

Is Trump saving America or destroying it?

Back in the day on tumblr, like 2009-2013, there were a ton of feminists supporting troons because they challenged le heckin gender binary and stuck it to the patriarchy. You'd see tons of feminists spouting bullshit about "some men have vaginas and some women have dicks" or how men being unwilling to fuck troons is "transmisoginy". Fast forward and most of these women are shocked at the results of supporting the Leopards Eating My Face Party, but they'll never accept any responsibility

VANCE FOR PRESIDENT FOR LIFE.

AND THEN BARRON TRUMP

New to racism, I have a question. What is the technical term for miscegenators that go after indians? Is it curryburners?

 

[Mr. Manchester]

I can't tell anymore.

Depends on what you define as America. Is America a bunch of retarded government spending and useless posturing? Then yes, he's destroying that.

This came out during her confirmation hearings. She's a pro-pedo freak.
