heavens forbid I use some colorful language. America is the world empire, Britain is not. FDR played a major role in that. He deserves some credit for that.
You're free to use colorful language if you do it correctly. An empire "dying" or "being killed" has a specific meaning, that being the moment the empire falls and is not relevant.

FDR played a role in the build up like many other presidents. He was dead when he truly became an empire and had no role in that. People just really wanna make him sound like the 2nd coming of Jesus when he was mediocre at best

[Part I]

[Intro: Samuel L. Jackson]
Salutations, it's your uncle, Sam
And this is the great American game


[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
Reincarnated with love
My Gemini twin back, power went up
No more handshakes and hugs
The energy only circulate through us
Everybody must be judged
But this time, God only favorin' us
Twenty years in, still got that pen dedicated to bare hard truth
Etiquette speak with a vigilant tongue, predicate this time is
I'm carryin' heavier hearts right now, I can power lift with Olympians too
Carryin' various darts right now, I dessert this uh, like tiramisù
We goin' body for body, I hand you a body, I'm probably a better masseuse
Really don't bother nobody, but they run it by me if I gotta clear out the room
You would not get the picture if I had to sit you for hours in front of the Louvre
Uh, would not have a soul, even if I had told you to stand next to Johnny and Q
Started with nothin' but government cheese
But now I can cease, the government do
'Member the food stamp color was tan and brown, but now the hunnid in blue
'Member I said "I'm the greatest" back when you debated the number one and number two?
Pop, it was always hilarious to me
You carried 'em to me, I brung out the— Christ

[Segue: Kendrick Lamar]
The revolution 'bout to be televised
You picked the right time, but the wrong guy


[Part II: squabble up]

[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
Someone better squabble up
I am reincarnated
I was stargazin'
Life goes on, I need all my babies (Gyah, gyah)

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar & Debbie Deb]
Woke up lookin' for the broccoli
High-key, keep a horn on me, that Kamasi
IP, ownership, the blueprint is by me
Mr. Get Off, I get off and mop feet
When I hear music (What?), it makes me dance (Ayy)
You got the music (Woo), now is your chance
Thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, baby rockin' it
Quid pro quo, what you want? 'Cause I'm watchin' it
Work on the floor, let me know if you clockin' it
Brodie won't go, but I know that he poppin' it
It was woof tickets on sale 'til I silenced it
Pipe down, young, these some whole other politics
Uh, that's a (What?) in him, that's a lot of (What?)
Don't hit him, he got kids with him, my apologies
Ghetto child, it was Black & Milds with the Smirnoff
We outside, whoadie 'bout to kill him off
Blaps, blaps, fact, brick of raw
Tell me why you boys rap if it's fictional?
Tell me why you boys fed if it's criminal?
"Ayy, Dot, can I get a drop?" Nah
Ace boon coon from the Westside to Senegal
Full moon, let the wolves out, I been a dog (Ah)

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
Squabble up (Squabble up), squabble up (Squabble up)
Squabble up (Squabble up), squabble up (What?)
Squabble up (Squabble up), squabble up (What?)
Squabble up (Squabble up), squabble up

[Segue: Samuel L. Jackson]
No, no, no, no, no
Too loud, too reckless, too ghetto
Mr. Lamar, do you really know how to play the game?
Then tighten up

[Part III: HUMBLE.]

[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
Nobody pray for me
It been that day for me
Way (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
Ayy, I remember syrup sandwiches and crime allowances
Finessin' on 'em with some counterfeit, now I'm countin' this
Parmesan where my accountant lives, matter of fact, I'm downin' this
D'ussé with my boo bae, tastes like Kool-Aid for the analysts
Girl, I can buy you the world with my paystub
I know it's good, won't you sit it on my taste bloods?
I get way too petty once you let me do the extras
Pull up on your block, then I break it down, you can call it Tetris
A.m. to the p.m., p.m. to the a.m., funk
Eat up on your per diem, you just gotta hate 'em, funk
If I quit your BM, I still ride Mercedes
If I quit this season, I still be the greatest, funk
My left stroke just went viral
Right stroke put lil' baby in a (Uh)

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
Be humble (Hold up)
Sit down (Hold up, lil'— hold up, lil')
Be humble (Hold up)
Sit down (Hold up, sit down, lil'— sit down, lil')
Be humble (Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, lil')
Sit down (Hold up, lil')
Be humble (Hold up)
Sit down (Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up)
Hol' on

[Part IV: DNA.]

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
I got, I got, I got, I got—
Loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA
Coke and quarter piece, put the war and peace 'side my DNA (Huh, huh, huh, Christ)
Power, poison, pain, and joy inside my DNA
That's hustle, though, ambition flow inside my DNA
Was born like this, perform like this, Yeshua new weapon
Transform like this was Yeshua new weapon

[Segue: Kendrick Lamar]
That's murder, conviction (Yeah, oh, oh)
Burners, boosters, burglars, ballers, dead (Yeah, oh, oh)
Scholars, fathers dead with kids and (Yeah, oh, oh)
I wish I was (Yeah), hol' on

[Part V: euphoria]

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
Yeah, I'm out the way, yeah, I'm low, okay
Island right here's remote, okay
Thinkin' about no reaper, I'm reapin' what I sow, okay
Benjamin and a Jackson all in my house like I'm Joe, okay
Hellcat, made his homeboys and them type sell they soul, okay
Everybody wanna be demon, get chipped by a throwaway
And I might do a show a day, always a lame
Oh, you thought the money, the power or fame would make you?
Have you ever played have-you-ever? Okay, let's play
Have you ever walked your enemy down with a poker face?
Man, I know y'all gon' see
Ever since prime want me
It's K. D-O-T, what? (Bodied)

[Part VI: man at the garden]

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
I deserve it all
Keep these bums away from me
Keep my essence contagious, that's okay with me
Burn this thing down, don't you play with me, stay with me
Crashin' out right now, it ain't safe with me
Did it with integrity, these boys try to hate on me, just wait and see
More blood be spillin', it's just paint to me
Dangerously, ain't no changin' me, ain't no shame in me
Flip a coin, you want the dangerous me or the famous me?
How annoying
From the poise and the game I speak? A shame to me
It's important, I deserve it all because it's mine
Why you think you deserve the greatest of all t—?

[Part VII: peekaboo]

[Intro: Samuel L. Jackson & Kendrick Lamar]
(Give a helping hand) Ah, see you brought your homeboys with you
The old culture cheat code (To your fellow man)
Scorekeeper, deduct one life (Oh, my—)
Ayy, what?
Look


[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
What they talkin' 'bout? They ain't talkin' 'bout nothin'
What they talkin' 'bout? They ain't talkin' 'bout nothin'
What they talkin' 'bout? They ain't talkin' 'bout nothin'
What they talkin' 'bout? They ain't talkin' 'bout nothin'
Huh? They ain't talkin' 'bout nothin'

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Peekaboo, I just put the boogers in my chain
Peekaboo, eighty-pointers like a Kobe game
Peekaboo, 7.62s'll make 'em plank
Peekaboo, I'm poppin' out, you better not smut my name
Peekaboo, I put two foreigns on the 405
Peekaboo, that's cacio e pepe if I'm doin' pasta
Peekaboo, why you actin' tough on IG Live?
Peekaboo, you know my loved ones with that, let's get it

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Peekaboo, surprise, uh, it's your boy, Chuck E. Cheese
Peekaboo, I FaceTimed my opp, yeah, I'm up the street (Woah)
Peekaboo, it's A-Z-Z, I put the boys to sleep (Woah, woah, woah)
Peekaboo, he on the ground, praise God and stompin' feet (Woah, woah)

[Interlude: Kendrick Lamar]
Peekaboo
Ladies (Yes, Dot?)
I wanna make a move (For sure)
I wanna perform they favorite song
But you know they love to sue

What song?
Yeah, that song (That song?)

Ah, maybe I'll think about it (Oh, no)
Know what, I'll slow it down
Say, ladies, do me this solid (Ooh)

[Outro: Samuel L. Jackson]
Oh, you done lost your damn mind

[Part VIII: luther]

[Intro]
If this world were mine

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Hey, Roman numeral seven, bae, drop it like it's hot
This world was mine, I'd take your dreams and make 'em multiply
This world was mine, I'd take your enemies in front of God
Introduce 'em to that light, hit them strictly with that fire
Fah-fah, fah-fah-fah, fah-fah

[Chorus: SZA, SZA & Kendrick Lamar]
So, in this world, concrete flowers grow
Heartache, she only doin' what she know
Weekends, get it poppin' on the low
Better days comin' for sure
If this world were—
If it was up to me
I wouldn't give these nobodies no sympathy
I'd take away the pain, I'd give you everything
I just wanna see you win, wanna see
(If this world were mine)

[Verse 2: SZA & Kendrick Lamar]
It go in (Uh), out (Out), do it real slow (Slow)
Baby, you a star (Star), strike a pose
When I'm (Uh) with you (Uh), everything goes (Uh-huh)
Come and put that on my soul

[Part IX: All The Stars]

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
Tell me what you gon' do to me
Confrontation ain't nothin' new to me
You can bring a bullet, bring a morgue, bring a sword
But you can't bring the truth to me
Bump you and all your expectations
I don't even want your congratulations
I recognize your false confidence, promises
All in your conversation
I hate those that feel entitled
Look at me crazy 'cause I ain't invite you
Oh, you important? You the moral to the story? You endorsin'?
I don't even like you
Corrupt a man's heart with a gift
That's how you find out who you dealin' with
A small percentage who I'm buildin' with
I want the credit if I'm losin' or I'm winnin'
On my mama, Solána

[Chorus: SZA & Kendrick Lamar]
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know (Uh)
All the stars approach you
All the stars approach you (Uh)
All the stars approach
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
The stars are closer
All the stars are closer
All the stars are closer

[Segue: Samuel L. Jackson]
Yeah-eah
That's what I'm talkin' about
That's what America wants, nice and calm
You're almost there
Don't mess this—
Ah


[Part X: Not Like Us]

[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
Oh no
It's a cultural divide, I'ma get it on the floor
You really 'bout to do it?
Forty acres and a mule, this is bigger than the music
You really 'bout to do it?
Yeah, they tried to rig the game, but you can't fake influence
Then get on it like that
Ayy, I'm trippin', I'm slidin', I'm ridin' through the back like, "Baow"

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
Mustard on the beat, bro
Deebo any rap, uh, he a free throw
Man down, call a amberlamps, tell him, "Breathe"
Nail them boys to the cross, they walk around like Teez'
What's up with these jabroni-O, uh, tryna see Compton?
Industry can hate me, bump 'em all and they mama
How many opps you really got? I mean, it's too many options
Finna crash on this body, I'm John Stockton
What? Beat your— and hide the Bible if God watchin'
Sometimes you gotta pop out and show
Certified boogeyman, I'm the one that up the score
Walk him down, whole time, I know he got some ho
Pole, extort sh—, bully Death Row
Say, Drake, I hear you like 'em young
You better not ever go to cell block one
To any— that talk to him and they in love
Just make sure you hide your lil' sister from him
They tell me Chubbs the only one that get your hand-me-downs
Party at the party playin' with his nose now
Baka got a weird case, why is he around?
Certified Lover Boy? Certified— (Christ)
(Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop) I'm on 'em tough
(Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop) I'ma do my stuff
Why you trollin' like a—? Ain't you tired?
Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minor

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
They not like us (No), they not like us (No), they not like us (What?)
They not like us (No), they not like us (No), they not like us

[Outro: Kendrick Lamar]
Are you my friend?
Are we locked in?
Then step this way, step that way
Then step this way, step that way, hol' on

[Part XI: tv off]

[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
I go by the name of K-Dot, Dot, Kendrick Lamar, Oklama, Mr. Morale
This is GNX
We come all the way from Compton, California to a party with y'all
(Mustard on the beat) Let me hear you say

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
Mustard
They actin' bad, but somebody gotta do it
Got my foot up on the gas, but somebody gotta
Turn his TV off, turn his TV off
Huh, turn his TV off, turn his TV off
Huh, turn his TV off, turn his TV off
Turn his TV off, turn his TV off

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
Ain't no other king in this rap thing, they siblings
Nothing but my children, one shot, they disappearin'
In the city where the flag be gettin' thrown, pass interference
Padlock around the
Crash, pullin' up in unmarked truck just to play freeze tag
Bone to pick like it was sea bass
When I made it out, I made about 50K from a show
I showed y'all the ropes before they hung from a rope
I'm prophetic, they talk about it, I did it
Good for savin' face, I seen the cosmetics
Heads I gotta take to level my aesthetics
Hurry up, your muscle up, we up the higher metric
Ran up out of luck soon as I upped the highest metric
Super Bowl made a feat, you die, I bet it
Mouth get full of deceit, cowards tell it
Walk in New Orleans with the etiquette of L.A., yellin'

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
Mustard (Oh, man)
They actin' bad, but somebody gotta do it
Got my—, on the—, but some— gotta—, ha
Turn his TV off, turn his TV off
Huh, turn his TV off, turn his TV off
Huh, turn his TV off, turn his TV off
Turn his TV off, turn his—
I feel like Kendrick Lamar and Samuel L. Jackson just gave Donald Trump the biggest N-word pass ever given out. Also remember the elite aren't like us.
 
What has Trump not done that he didn't say he was going to do? On top of that he's thrown his base a few bones. I don't know what Doomers are even mad about.
I believe I was promised Income tax either is going away or that he wants to at least look into it. That's the only one I can think of.

Yeah he's not going full bore 1488 GAS THE KIKES WAYCE WAWR NAO like the idiots on /pol/ swear the imaginary Trump in their brains promised them, but they're either psychological warfare victims, an obvious op, or complete fucking morons, and in any case, they can and should be ignored and/or mocked.
 
I wouldn’t blame him for it. This was never supposed to be permanent. It was sadly a necessary response to communism. I blame Bush for us continuing to be interventionist.
A communist Asia was no threat to the United States. If we weren’t idiotically advocating for decolonization so much, it probably wouldn’t have even happened in many areas.
 
And the fact that a lot of jobs have diminishing returns now that the age for retirement plans like 401ks were raised, pensions are dead, etc. Many people end up going "why not leech?", or try to anyways. Even those leech systems designed to aid people become impossible once you get a job and make too much but suffer just enough from the absurd rate of rent and cost of living.
The price of living has skyrocketed while our wages have remained the same. It's a chump's game and you only have one life to live. I don't imagine spending many hours of my day grinding away for a chump's salary then having no meaningful memories left by the time I die. Many people so deep into their jobs, shackled, end up having to make the choice of their job or their family. After all the taxing, and other daily bills some can't even afford proper food to maintain health with the rising prices of essentials like meats, eggs, milk, vegetables, cheese. They have to buy the cheap slop. It shouldn't have ever gotten to that point and its extreme. We're close to becoming Canadians who have to work two jobs to live with barely any comfort (I know some who already do that).

I’m pissed that making over 100k is basically nothing with how taxes work currently and the cost of living being so ridiculous. 200k homes now don’t exist or are straight up trailer homes. Many million dollar homes are trash.
I like how the network didn't shy away from showing Trump's cheers/Swift's boos. (I guess since networks aren't getting USAID kickbacks anymore, no need to try to make Trump look bad?)
It was Fox.
Clearly you're not aware of the glowniggers' recruiting process.

For once I’m thankful for them embracing dei. Using a fury autist instead of a grizzled mobster with military experience made all the difference.
The Chiefs is not the Chiefs.
the refs stop favoring them when Usaid dries up. Coincidence? I think not!

Communism is inherently expansionist. What part of workers of the world does not sound threatening? Besides, decolonization was inevitable after Europe destroyed itself during WW1 and 2. It makes no sense not to get ahead of it, not to mention that I have absolutely no sympathy for the Brits and French after we had to bail them out twice.

According to Woodrow Wilson the world has to be made "save for democracy". Is that not also expansionist by nature?

Who said I’m a Wilsonite? I have no interest in spreading democracy, I have an interest in defending America and our interests from enemies. Wilson was an idiot and if anything we should’ve bailed out the central powers, not the Anglo French who were inherently irresponsible.
 
I use quarters for laundry, and that's only because I don't have my own washer/dryer in my apartment
I'd say 99% of people have just used quarters at most for a long time now. Honestly get rid of dimes and make quarters the main coin. People use them more than the rest by a huge fucking margin.

Every retarded boomer goes "it adds up" but once you take the quarter out of the equation it really doesn't. As that one guy said a quarter now is worth as much as a penny a century ago so imagine how worthless the other coins are.

This “expansionist” argument is ridiculous because you could justify so many different wars with it. You know what else is expansionist? Islam. But you said earlier that you didn’t like Bush’s foreign wars. I just don’t agree with the idea that we should get our own soldiers killed overseas because a communist Korea might be a threat later on down the line. I might be able to make a compromise on this point if it was a communist threat in our backyard instead, but there’s no excuse with Korea. As for decolonization being inevitable, that’s a very blanket statement that assumes the situation was the same in India as it was in Jamaica or Aden. Some colonies probably couldn’t be held anymore, but some definitely could and we had absolutely no reason to betray our allies by advocating for the independence of their unprepared colonial subjects.
 
I just saw that the Trump administration responded to the faggot judges order restricting D.O.G.E. from accessing records.
Has it already been posted or linked to? I don't want to post anything that's already been covered.
When in doubt, post anyway, the thread moves fucking fast, and there's worse fates than a few alarm clock reacts. Unless its on the same damned page, people will appreciate that you tried.
