Brother of the guy who wrote "the fault in our stars" and some other ya novels 2010s teen girls loved.
They used to be popular on youtube a decade ago too. Both Hank and John have their own channels. IIRC, they also founded VidCon, a youtube convention that happens down the street from Disneyland.

Hank also unsurprisingly is the same guy who defended Anita Sarkeesian during the whole Sargon debacle of 2017

Why would Republican politicians not be losing their minds too, unless they knew they weren't going to be held accountable? They would have to see the writing on the wall if there was any actual risk of their own shit getting exposed. I can't help fearing this is just one party seizing the other party's corrupt money trove for themselves instead of actually trying to fix things for good. Our tax dollars just get redistributed among Republican rich fucks via Republican backhanded methods instead of Democrat ones, meanwhile the middle and lower class continue to be screwed over as per usual.

Purity spiral. There used to be quite a few Republicans on the grift, but they either got outed as RINOs and voted out or were cut out by the Democrats and so have nothing to lose.

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

I took know of the tiktok speak, and when I slip up and say "yeah my set is all drip no cap" to another fucking adult, its fucking sad and I often go to bed feeling like that brain rot slang made me more retarded

There's something about all the stopping of money going to useless things that is bothering me.

I've watched what happens often enough when a grifter gets busted lying to people to get donations.
They don't panic. They don't cry or spiral or otherwise fall apart.
They don't get scared or demoralized.
They get angry. Violently angry.
If you ever want to see someone go from normal, maybe even sweet, to viciously spitting rage at anyone and everyone, take away a liar's ill-gotten income.

I can't believe that all those who had been lining their pockets with government funds are okay with this.
I fear for the safety of the ones trying to staunch the flow of taxpayer funds into stupid shit.
Be safe out there.

They're going after the C&C funding first, to prevent that when they get to the real shit like the DOD and DOE.

They are not okay with it, they are angry and wanting to kill people. It is just they are impotently useless. They relied on rent a mobs, and voter apathy. But Elon and Trump have out played them. The funds they need to rent those mobs, got cut.
The retard tranny antifas are all too scared of really getting to go to jail and not a 24 time out with a Soros bail fund.
You have seen them rush up to a door and whinge at the front security for not letting them in. They have just been told a firm NO. and all they can do is splutter, fed post on reddit and whinge in Elon's twitter reply's.
They have tried to cancel culture already as well and Trump, Vance and Elon have just said enough is enough and rehired the guy and are investigating the pronoun bitches connection to USAID.
They only look dangerous because they are so eternally ass blasted, they are basically rabid dogs. Even CNN was laughing at them.

And then the history books talk about the transgender serial killers of 2025 and why the Democrats vanished after that.

It happens. I distinctly recall a story where an old woman fell and was being eaten by her cat before she had died. Can't find sauce though so maybe it never happened. btw for paywall at least for this site I was able to look at network tab under inspect element to manually block a few scripts that were throwing the paywall.

Not these morons. I tried to do that super healthy cat thing where you cook them food with all the special cat restrictions because they weren't in the best shape and it just confused them. I bought them fancy food because it was all natural or whatever and they looked at me like I was insane. No. They demand bottom of the barrel whatever cats call goyslop. They'll just be confused by my corpse, probably keel over meowing at it.

I've grown pretty fond of them though which is a natural white person thing to do.

There, I made my cat sperging political.

Cats don't like sudden changes in their diet as it can make them sick. If you slowly introduce the healthy food alongside their original food they will eventually adapt, but if you make an instant switch they would rather starve.

I'm sure there's a political metaphor somewhere in there.

People are always talking about how pharma has the means to cure more than they do, and instead spends time merely treating since you don't get as much money if customers patients aren't coming back. I'm really hoping DOGE eventually puts the FDA & medicine in its sights and we find out something retarded like 'we've known how to cure Alzheimers since 2017' or something insane. I'm just imagining all of the different things that could end up on the radar now.

 

[Sulla]

I wonder who tipped Trump off to USAID?

I highly doubt the first department they audit would turn out to be the very core of the deep state slush machine. Someone on the inside must have told Trump or Musk where the heart was so they could not only strike it first but come away looking like heroes for doing so.

No doubt the Dems are eagerly hunting for the leaker so that he can face the consequences of his choices as they like to say.

really makes you think...

 

[SirCliveSinclairdabbing]

I am loving all the winning in general but I can't help but feel like a doomer re: fixing the corruption in the government, for a simple reason:

1) You'd have to be the biggest retard alive to assume Republican politicians are all innocent angels who never get up to reams of corrupt shit themselves, and yet
2) I don't see any Republican politicians freaking out about Trump and Elon's supposed deep diving.

Why would Republican politicians not be losing their minds too, unless they knew they weren't going to be held accountable? They would have to see the writing on the wall if there was any actual risk of their own shit getting exposed. I can't help fearing this is just one party seizing the other party's corrupt money trove for themselves instead of actually trying to fix things for good. Our tax dollars just get redistributed among Republican rich fucks via Republican backhanded methods instead of Democrat ones, meanwhile the middle and lower class continue to be screwed over as per usual.

I really want to believe there could be real change. Please tell me what I'm not seeing.

It's not so much republicans grabbing for themselves as dumping problems on others.
Tax, to other countries via tariffs
Middle east, send the Palestinians to Europe, make it Europe's problem
Ukraine, all yours to deal with Britain.

It balances out, the world has definitely listened and acted on drill baby drill.

remember, you still got the romney and "losing with dignity"-types, t

They where happy being the Washington Generals to the Harlem Globetrotters. They showed up to lose at every game because it really didn't matter. They still got paid. They still got to hang out at the after party.

 

[Candlelight Desolation]

Two things about that door guard and Maxine Waters video from earlier:

1. Why are clearly infirm Silent Generation people allowed to make laws for the rest of us to follow?
2. How could over a dozen people not overpower one unarmed man with noodle arms who is just blocking a door with his arms crossed?

How could we be so blind?

I noticed how few heads rolled when the Alzheimer's study was proven to be fake

I think you have to be a rocket scientist, or have a big telegram group with really dank memes.
