I am confused why Trump and Elon havent made any public statement on Disney. Both have major axes to grind on Iger.
Invoking the name of the house of mouse can only invite ruin into your life (and imagine the sperging it would cause among disney adults). It's far better to watch that ship sink from a distance.
 
Well, well, well.

This is big if it's true...

TL;DR: Whistleblower comes forward and names names and files a criminal complaint against the governor of Pennsylvania and implicates the former head of the FBI as well as Joe Biden himself, in the attempted assassination of Trump at Butler.
Are the shrubs and the sloped roofs going to be called to testify?
 
Alright, devil's advocate, and maybe I'm retarded, but:
how do we go from "Biden went to his house a few times" to immediately "and plotted to kill Trump". I don't see the connection, just conjecture. Maybe I missed something,

I'll argue a few things here. Now that we know how much the gov directly funds media organizations to carry their water it adds another dimension to this.

When the Boomer generation was young, journalists such as Hunter S. Thompson considered it the failure of his profession and generation that the journalism community was wholly unable to truly uncover the JFK assassination plot. That nobody ever really knew exactly who was behind it.

Today, you have an attempted assassination of Trump that was a cunt hair from success. The first in nearly 40 years. Six months later we still don't know anything about Crooks. The only accountability was a bullshit removal of an appointed Secret Service director and the internal shakeup Trump forced when he ascended the Resolute Desk. Furthermore the journalism community has no interest in digging into it. We must rely on the new generation of independent YouTube journalism to do anything.

There is clearly far more to this story. Now the question will be whether Trump has the will to just let it all out. I don't doubt for a second some manner of spooks were involved in preparing Crooks.

i read it as the dust bowl exacerbating the later extreme poverty of the great depression due to it compounding farmers' already woeful money problems.
His previous difficulties with temporal relationships between events made it read as "the dust bowl caused the stock market crash" nigga literally thought the FDIC existed at the time.
 
Nobody regrets it.
Those videos are clickbait for pRedditers.


"Media literacy" when did every midwit Internet lefty start using that phrase? They clearly heard one of their grifters use it and now throw it in as much as possible.
I don't want to derail the thread to much but the idea of the plebs not having "media literacy" is quite old but recently experienced a resurgence due to Helldivers 2 and parallels to starship troopers. People want to fight for super earth unironically and don't think that the super earth government is "le bad evil fascists who want to genocide the hecken cute bugs."(god forgive me for mentioning videogames I promise not to do it again.)

How can something that happened after 1929 be the cause of something that occured in 1929?
Basically just because it made it worse. Like “oh no, the bankers lost money” was one thing, but 100 years ago, probably most Americans didn’t have cars, electricity, or indoor plumbing anyways, most people made their property like a mini farm anyways, credit cards didn’t exist, most of the population was rural as opposed to urban, hunting was extremely popular and some people were still into trapping, barter was still a thing, and a shit load of people kept their money stashed at home because you didn’t need to accrue interest to offset inflation which was still largely just beginning.

The dust bowl, on the other hand, meant food shortages for basically all of the urban population and strain on the availability/ease to supplement your garden and your hunting for everyone else

Maybe the predditors should admit the possibility that people understand it and still support it because they do?
 
Damn a jew tried to kill trump
Maybe one day he'll figure it out...Ah who am I kidding he's a boomer. Years from now he'll be lying in bed, surrounded by his closest loved ones. And with his final breaths, he'll whisper, "you know, those Jews aren't really the greatest people. Bigly corrupt". Meanwhile, in a forgotten corner of a Secret Service storage facility, there's an explosion. Responding agents find the remains of a metal box and what appears to be a pager
 
Well, well, well.

Man if this is true some people are gonna off themselves pretty quickly I would think.

I will never not be amused at that progressive ability to make villains that the aidiance ends up sympathizing with.
 
Good thing that FDR helped with measures like buying up milk so it could be poured into the sewers so that food prices wouldn't get too low.
I’m among the people who are skeptical of the new deal in general, since our manufacturing to supply world war 2 is the main thing that actually dug us out of it

It doesn't help that your enemies in Helldivers 2 are: bugs that slaughter human civilians, AI skynet robots that slaughter human civilians, and X-COM aliens that slaughter human civilians and turn them into bioweapons to attack other human civilians.

This is arguably relevant to politics because what you have there is a human government that does some questionable things in order to maintain stability and the survival of the human race against obvious existential threats. Imagine trying to organize a global government against a hostile alien race: the communists, peaceniks, and soapboxers would all try to take advantage of the situation for their own purposes at the expense of our entire species.

Redditors cannot compute because they are communists, peaceniks, and soapboxers. They also totally lack a sense of humor. The jingoism in Helldivers 2 is not a reflection of the developer's true political feelings. It's a goof, a gag, shtick; it's literally camp. Something about progressive liberalism took away all sense of amusement from people and replaced it with standard communist anger and resentment.

It should not be surprising that when a game is so fun that friendly fire incidents can incapacitate you with laughter that it brings people together and causes them to unironically love the player faction. If anything it's the faggots complaining about Super Earth that are "media illiterate"
 
There's also the plane crash in Philadelphia the other day. Looks like the NFL writers chose the #PhillyStrong version of the script. It works for them too because it's become a mainstream talking point that the NFL is rigged for certain teams like me and others have been saying for years. Now they can claim that it isn't rigged, which normies will eat up. My theory is they're trying to make Eagles-Chiefs like what Patriots-Colts was in the 00s/early 10s. It's all fake and gay like wrestling and the writers will probably try and make the Chiefs the heel team just like the Patriots were.
The broncos, raiders, and bill fans (charger fans don’t exist) kidnapped the script writers and made them an offer they couldn’t refuse.
I know he said no homo but this is pretty gaaay.

It is.
Random Musing that might fit here -

Has anyone noticed that a lot of elites encourage seizure of the commoner’s work tools? They offer something in return that is either ineffective or makes the job take 3-100xs longer. For example, Cate Blanchet did a rant about leaf blowers
She says they are obnoxious and asks “What happened to the broom?” I use leaf blowers for my job. If I used a broom instead what would take me 1 minute would take 15 minutes. Then I heard about Idris Elba saying pointed knives are unnecessary.
(What he actually said “Not all kitchen knives need to have a point on them. That sounds like a crazy thing to say, but actually, it would reduce- you know, you can still cut your food without the point on your knife, which is an innovative way to sort of look at it.”)
What about the chefs, fishermen, and farmers that use a pointed blade every day and sometimes ALL DAY?

Anyway, pay attention, you will notice celebrities doing this regularly. They think we’re dogs and they demand we walk on our hind legs.
It’s why I hate leftism. Most of it is for show.
We know that Trump intends to - or so people hope - that he abolishes the income tax and hopes to raise funds via tariffs instead. It's protectionism essentially. The costs do find themselves falling onto the consumer regardless, but I think ascribing his motivation as being malicious is based on nothing. Tariffs aren't great but you can see why they're being implemented. It's probably easier to remove a tariff than it is to introduce an entirely new tax, thus if he accomplishes abolishing income tax then tariffs might only be a short-term problem.
We should have a federal tax on processed food, soda, alcohol, cigarettes, and weed + tariffs and drop the income tax altogether.
FDR was one of our worst presidents. His “help” was repealing prohibition to profit off it while simultaneously spreading the lie that it wasn’t an effective policy, and then spreading socialism throughout the entire country and allowing the communist party in America to grow. I have absolutely nothing positive to say about that wheelchair ridden fuck
Trump is the most impactful president since fdr imo. I hate prohibition because I’d rather we keep our tax on alcohol instead of income tax.
You're getting ripped off bro. Don't let them round off the $0.005 they owe you.

Bring some ha'pennies and get that sales tax precisely right.

Previously we had autists advocating for getting rid of the penny. Now the autists who want exact change will come out of the woodwork.
