Wow he's got a more storied media presence than I initially thought

back when youtube first started him and his brother were huge, way back in the 10 minute limit era, before reaction channels or Pewdiepie. Like they created VidCon, which was youtube's de facto convention. like a dozen years ago they had the top 100th channel on youtube, plus thanks to vidcon they had a fuck load of connections with other youtubers, they were very big fish in the small pond that was youtube in those days. if you check back their videos and fanbase hasn't really grown from a dozen years ago.

I do remember they called him creepy for writing teen girl protagonists. I don’t know if being canceled woke him up or further burrowed him into the ideology.

the Green brothers were very big on social media sites, especially tumblr when it first launched they basically burrowed further into their ideology but they were always very tumblr heavy in their politics.

Honestly to the green brothers its still 2010, which is why their politics are still so "blue is always right, red always evil" and "dude its heckin' awesome that we're funding gay pride internationally, its a smart move goy"

New reddit cope dropped. Orange Man so dumb and easily manipulated

its such an awful cover too, in general time magazine's quality has dropped hard, when thanks to AI any fucker can make a better cover in under a minute, you need to step up your game.

Does Trump really obsess over Times Magazine like they say?

not as much as he did in the first term, in general i think the podcasts and tiktok stuff showed him how much bigger the media has gotten compared to what he thought a decade ago when he still loved cable news and tv.

Now their shit can't even break a few K views.

that would have always happened, they were in the top 100 youtube channels back in 2010 and were sliding into irrelevancy ever since, of course they'd be anti-gamergate, who would want to be on the same side as Ethan Ralph? Beyond that their whole format, between the vlogs and crash course was very pre-smartphone era, they never adapted beyond that, for fucks sake they still had a forum.

I just realized this year it will be the 10 year anniversary of when Trump threw his hat out in the ring. He's burned 10 years of his life to fix the country, hasn't aged too much either, kinda crazy.

They also did Crash Course which was shown in my High School a lot

Why brain is leaking out of my ear after reading that, should I be worried?

I’ve just spoken in zoomerspeak, friend. Be afraid.

No, I think the language you're trying to name is "nigger".

Same thing really. Zoomer idols like Kai Shitnat created this type of shit.

When anthropologists taught monkeys sign language they realized that they would never ask questions or even seemed to understand the concept, and further study found that they were incapable of the notion that a different monkey could know something that they didn't, information that they could learn by asking.

Bad analogy, monkey's don't even understand sign language and it was a giant grift for research money.

Hank Green is very upset that an agency created via executive order is being dismantled via executive order

Yeah, I agree that Trump is being heavy handed with executive orders.

Too Bad.

Personally, I prefer approaching a matter diplomatically and trying to resolve an issue with minimum disruption. The problem is that the "deep state" (permanent career mid-level workers) know how to deal with people like me. As such, when you try to push through your objectives, which they oppose, the result is them throwing roadblock after roadblock in hopes to limit if not negate your power.

Your ideas sound great, we just need to form an ad hoc committee to implement it.

Wait, we can't just start discussing the matter. First, we need to follow procedure. Since its been awhile for some here, we need to take a course on Robert Rules of Order.

Good News, the ad hoc committee thinks your idea is great but we just need to iron out the details.

Sorry, but we can't get a quorum so we can't convene the committee right now. I checked in with the other members and they are able to meet again next month.

Just an update on the recent committee meeting. They thought it was best to get a consultants opinion on this issue. Don't worry, the ad hoc committee has is forming a search committee for an expert in the field.

Hey, we found an expert in the matter and they say it will take about six months to get the data and another six to write the report.

I know you are frustrated about the lack of progress and how shoddy the experts data is. Trust me, I am as well. Let's bring this up at the next ad hoc committee meeting.

---

I can't believe that happened either! I agree that we should address this new matter, as well. We can being looking to form an ad hoc committee to address this matter you care about.

Bad news, according to the regulations you can only sit on one committee at a time. The last ad hoc committee you formed hasn't really achieved any progress. I know you are frustrated and so am I, but I think the best idea to to disband that inefficient committee so you can join the new committee to address this new issue.

How was this ignored here? The Big Balls kid with the broccoli haircut is a Kiwifarms user.

EDIT: If it isn’t clear, there’s a fucking kiwi in DOGE.

Holy fuck, boys! We're on the inside! We're breaking the conditioning!

JoeyCrafter was a member of Telegram groups called “Kiwi Farms Christmas Chat” and “Kiwi Farms 100% Real No Fake No Virus,” both referencing an online forum known for harassment campaigns. Typically, the site has been used to share the personal information of a target, encouraging others to harass them online, in-person, over the phone or by falsely alerting police to a violent crime or active shooter incident at their home.

Alright if BigBalls is in here can he at least get Trump to push an EO to force the media to read the fucking site rules to the nation in regards to gayops & cowtipping being immediately bannable, and that the pizza-senders are retard channers and sharty users, not kiwis? Maybe we'd get less retarded pink dates trying the same shit too since they don't even read them half the time.

Wait, did Big Balls work for and leak information about PATH, the same PATH that has that fucking pedophile working for them and currently can't pay their bills? Lol.

Trump says he is revoking Biden's security clearance

US President Donald Trump has said he is revoking Joe Biden's security clearance and access to daily intelligence briefings, after his predecessor did the same to him four years ago.

"There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information," Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform.

"JOE, YOU'RE FIRED," the Republican added in a reference to his catchphrase on the reality TV show The Apprentice.

Trump has already revoked the security clearance of more than four dozen former intelligence officials whom he accused of meddling in the 2020 election in Biden's favour.


Trump posted on Friday evening that Biden "set this precedent in 2021, when he instructed the Intelligence Community (IC) to stop the 45th President of the United States (ME!) from accessing details on National Security, a courtesy provided to former Presidents".

He said Biden "could not be trusted with sensitive information", citing a justice department inquiry into the Democrat's storage of classified files, which decided not to press charges and said Biden had a poor memory. Biden rejected that characterisation at the time.

Biden, who has taken some time away from the limelight since leaving his post as president last month, did not immediately respond to the comments.

The BBC has attempted to contact his talent agency, which recently signed him, for comment.

In 2021, Biden stopped Trump from receiving classified intelligence briefings, the first time an ex-president had ever been denied such information, which is traditionally given as a courtesy.

He justified the move by saying Trump could not be trusted because of his "erratic behaviour", even before the 2021 US Capitol riot, which Democrats accused Trump of inciting in the last days of his first term.

"What value is giving him an intelligence briefing?" Biden said at the time. "What impact does he have at all, other than the fact he might slip and say something?"

Trump has taken steps to revoke the security clearances and protections of other top officials linked to the Biden administration since returning to office.

Among those whose security clearance and detail has been retracted is former top US military commander Mark Milley, a vocal critic of Trump.

The new Defence Secretary, Pete Hegseth, has also ordered Milley's "conduct" to be investigated, and his military grade to be reviewed.

Trump has also revoked the security detail of former chief medical adviser to the president, Anthony Fauci, who led the US response to Covid-19.

Trump said at the time the decision was "very standard" and that it was not possible for everyone to have security protection for the rest of their life because they worked for the government.

The president has also ordered that the security clearance of dozens of former intelligence officials, including two ex-CIA directors, be revoked.

They signed a letter in 2020 suggesting that reports about a laptop owned by Joe Biden's son, Hunter, were a Russian hoax.

But the computer, whose trove of data contained evidence of drug abuse, prostitution and foreign business deals, was real.

Not to be the biggest schizo in the room or anything, but someone on r/conspiracy posted a thing
https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/1ij46v3/seven_years_ago_q_explained_what_we_are/

https://archive.ph/ZX6eK

and it made me curious and I looked at some more things https://qanon.pub

Interesting and exhausting.

Well if you want to get more conspiratorial, a day or so before the election in November, Elon Musk randomly, out of the blue posted this fucking lit edit on his X for tens of millions to see, and 35 seconds into the video there is a interesting bit there.

I know the Q shit is tarded, but...
It's funny if that was actually it, the signal. Cause tbh it has been nonstop winning and almost a complete collapse of the opposition since then, so there is greater than 0 chance it actually was.

Was Elon Q this entire time? Was he pretending to be a libshit during the 2010s? Is he just pretending to be a autistic redditor? Has this all been his elaborate 10 year secret plan to gas the kikes and save humanity? I mean probably not, but it is weird how one day he randomly for no good discernable reason decided to buy twitter away from the control of the deepstate glowies, which shook things up completely and turned the tide of the culture war. And then he didn't stop, he went on to become a right wing icon and helped trump secure the presidency so hard it was too big to rig. And now has somehow ended up being the leading man in actually dismantling the deepstate via DOGE. Its definitely intresting, but probably unfortunately not actually that, lets be honest (its still real to me damn it).

 

[Soycast Guy]

can he at least get Trump to push an EO to force the media to read the fucking site rules

No can do. Presenting this site in any sort of genuine light is unthinkable to journopiss. If they’re feeling a little bold they’ll even go after some of our users, like Altistic Right.

I think you might be giving too much credit to a man that's never held a single thought in his head for more than 10 seconds before immediately jumping to something else.

Donald Trump demands the 2nd Amendment be protected

"Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General shall examine all orders, regulations, guidance, plans, international agreements, and other actions of executive departments and agencies (agencies) to assess any ongoing infringements of the Second Amendment rights of our citizens, and present a proposed plan of action to the President, through the Domestic Policy Advisor, to protect the Second Amendment rights of all Americans."

He also effectively ordered the DoJ to start losing cases where the laws infringe on 2nd Amendment

"The positions taken by the United States in any and all ongoing and potential litigation that affects or could affect the ability of Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights;"

If leftists truly believe this country is sliding into dictatorship, why is the right to bear arms being preserved? never in history has authoritarians granted any and all private citizens have free access to firearms and especially would it even be considered to promote such a thing.

It's going to be so embarrassing when their lives actually *improve* and they find themselves happened then they were before.

They won't. Any improvements and increases in happiness in their lives through the next four years will be ignored, and credit given to the next dem or lib elected.
