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.
I feel similarly. It doesn't mean that it shouldn't be done. But it does mean you shouldn't expect them to just take it. It's an oft-overlooked fact that though people often think revolutions are led by the poor and downtrodden, they rarely happen without the active participation of the Middle Class. Even modern riots and unrest like the BLM protests are usually sponsored by middle or upper middle class groups as we've seen. Much of government jobs (or the Civil Service in Bongland) are effectively welfare for the educated. And serves the purpose of keeping them too busy and comfortable to upset anything. What will be done with such people? Now the logical thing would be to have them fill in other needs such as the work formerly done by departing migrants. But the idea that your average government equity officer could work as a carpenter or farm hand is risible. Even if capable, the conflict with their self-image would destroy them.
 
I find it funny that people are getting mad over losing their job, after being asked a very simple question:

"What do you actually do here?"

If you can't answer that, in one or a few sentences, your position might as well not exist.

And I love that it's 20 year olds that seems to have grown up on the internet, and are able to see through the bullshit and doesn't just listen and believe.
 
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.
So is Hitler an authoritarian or not?
Not comparing Trump to Hitler but plenty of more authoritarian forms of government than modern republican led US have either given or promoted arms ownership to the people or didn't regulate it at all.

This guy is retarded and misses the point. Hitler abolished gun control for PARTY MEMBERS, which are Germans who are loyal to him and the government, and ramped up gun control for demographics the Nazis have issues with. This is the exact type of gun control people fear, and it flies in the face of the spirit of 2A because it only adds more power to those in charge and further strips away any means for people who would be targeted by said power to defend themselves.
 
40% of our income tax goes towards paying the interest on our debt. Just the interest. So in theory we could all pay 40% less taxes and maintain the same exact budget. Tons of money to send condoms to sandniggers
Oh, I am sure that the feds will gladly put that extra 40% to work funding retarded shit. Trump is doing a good job cutting down the rotten tree, but he still needs to find a way to make sure it won't grow back once he leaves office.
 
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.
You aren't wrong, republicans and specially the RINOs have obviously been taking their own cuts as their personal value shows. Cocaine Mitch is a Chinese asset with his chink wife and so on. If I had to wager though, the reason they aren't reacting much is that USAID was clearly a Dem op, I've yet to see a single "project" of wasted money in there that you could think "yeah, that's a Republican thing". I imagine Republican kick backs came from the more standard angles of corporations giving donations/bribes and taking advantage of corporate knowledge for stock trading. More direct routes instead of all the gay mot and bailey that the democrats love to do. Basically, republicans just want their cut and be done with it. Dems want their cut while evangelizing and pushing the message.

I imagine once the IRS and military complex go into the chopping block the republicans will be the ones sweating. But they also suck ass at controlling the narrative anyway, so nobody will give them half a pass and will be one of the few times that the media will just report on it straight. "They were supposed to keep orange man in check and they failed, fuck them" will be how the uniparty will handle that situation when it arrives. Though I wouldn't be surprised that these investigations started in 2026 after house and senate elections with the idea of shaving off even more RINOs from the party.

Hitler expanded gun rights for racial Germans, he only limited guns rights for racial aliens, including Jews.

People trying to vilify Hitler today never choose to elaborate on that difference or say the entire truth.

When Alex Jones goes on and on about how "Hitler abolished the guns" he's not telling you the truth on purpose.

He also abolished regulations for non party members. The video is 6 minutes wrong and you're still being too much of a sped to follow along.

The entirety of the 1938 German Weapons Act can be found online. Handgun restrictions applied to non-Party numbers, the government kept records of everyone who had a gun, and the population Hitler was trying to decide whether to exile or murder was banned entirely. They also kept in place the Weimar Republic's broad trustworthiness exemption that meant the government could take guns from pretty much anyone a government official didn't like. None of this is a secret, and it doesn't make Hitler look like a good guy that history has been unfair to.

Did you? The guy said that the Nazis still kept some regulations on racial Germans, while completely abolishing it for party members. Hitler was using gun control to solidify power by making sure his supporters are the most well armed. This is the opposite of 2A where gun ownership is meant to divest power back to the people. If the Dems changed the laws, so only democrat party members can own fully automatic rifles while other Americans can own the usual civilian rifles that isn't expanding gun rights and liberty, that is gaining power for one side.
 
So apparently Afrikaners are already given refugee status according to some news outlets and twitter talking heads? I tried looking up old media for credibility but as expected the faggots that write for CBS/NBC/NYT ect have to inject every 3rd sentence that Trump is wrong or Afrikaners were mean first, or the SA government denies these claims and of course a bunch of inbred monkeys would never lie.

Then just become a nazi if you want to keep your guns. I see zero downsides to this.
