Really? Are people here actually reading half the posts on a page, then scrolling back up to the top to click to the next page? I figure if anything when there's too much backlog they'd either click through highlights or just skip entire pages.

I'll read an entire page, then skip ahead like 5 pages and read that one.

It's why back in the day certain skillsets that worked for the government were put on farm way out in the middle of nowhere, or nice houses in small nowhere towns. But they stopped all that in the 1990's.

Well, except for the FBI and the CIA and the NSA and the... (you get the idea)

So what you're telling me is that if Nuclear War were to befall us I could take a trip to the the caves outside Kansas City and find out where the glowies that got us into such a mess live. What a fascinating thing to know.

i tend to feel that two pages ahead is a good compromise. faster movement through the thread when i lose track, and any good posts will probably be replied to in the coming pages.

Just remember, you have all the time in the world.

They have limited water, food, and air filtration.

I wanna hang with Tom Homan, we can bully jesuits together:

edit: oh my God please, let Trump and Vance beat up another woman politically, they can be extra mean because she's canadian. She's also a little fascist who is literally spawn of ukrainian nazis:

The retirement records mine is kino as fuck and they should keep it simply because it's rad.

feels like a warhammer 40k administratum thing. Imo, we should lobotomise feds to work in servitude perpetuitis to shuffle those around.

I read threads backwards. I start at the latest page then go back until I am where I last was.

The fact that just a handful of random judges can effectively govern the whole country instead of the president makes absolutely no sense.
My jimmies are thoroughly rustled.
I want to fedpost so bad.

This but unironically:

"The tranny groomers WILL have access to your children. It's the law."

The CDC had a fully funded SOTA task force to track novel diseases globally. Their main purpose was to notify the government if the threat of a pandemic was immenant, and provide strategies to minimize the immediate impact of an emerging global pandemic on the U.S.

Trump shut down this department as a cost cutting measure. A year later COVID broke out in China.

The CDC shutdown and covid's emergence are connected, just not exactly in the way you're trying to proclaim.

Classes should be livestreamed so that parents can check on what is going on in these schools at any time. Our children are being dropped off and left with strangers.

The creepiest thing is is there are schools that have had IP cameras in some classes for years, yet for some reason those aren't open for parents to be able to see.

Wasn't Hank Green funded by the US government via PBS?

I was wondering, that makes a lot of sense. Was Scishow in general created and propelled with government funding? Green shows up in a lot of their videos and no doubt had a hand in founding it.

I love how whoever runs the @Breaking911 account has basically gone full mask-off MAGA the past few months.

The army of postnuclear ghouls only needs to be lucky once, but the glowies need to be lucky every day.

scishow was Hank's brainchild from the word go, here's a video where he explains how he convinced google to fund the thing:

Servitors don't get big ideas about how things should ACKTSHUALLY be run, as the omnissiah intended.

Do what I do when I want to fedpost: go to Pop's.

Don't bring drugs into countries where they're illegal.

These aren't serious people.

They never were...

People are now starting to post The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus again like its some sort of criticism of Trump.

Either they are just dumb or willfully ignorant of the immigration and social conditions when that poem was written.


Chinese Exclusion Act, anyone?

An except:

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

Even in the Obama and Biden administrations, homeless people from shit holes are routinely denied a visa to come visit the United States.

It was and is in fact policy that if you can't support yourself even in your shithole, you will not be allowed into the U.S.

Any protests about this during those administrations?

Nope.

These people are just standing on the suffering of others to gain social asspats and feel better about themselves.

I never heard the king of Jordan speak before and was surprised by his English; I went on google and apparently he is mocked by Arabs because they think his Arabic sounds like he's speaking it with an English accent.
His mom is British.

Jordan is a completely artificial state created out of the part of Ottoman Syria that fell under the British and was given to his Grandfather as a reward for not attacking the French after they kick his brother out of Syria, where the British let his brother create the equally artifical state of Iraq out of 3 Ottoman Vilayets

All of the Red are artifical countries created by the British that had no national identity until after the British proclaimed them.


The Jordanian royal family has zero connection to Jordan they were originally the ruler of Hajez which contains Mecca, the first Emir of Transjordan was actually the elected representative in Ottoman parliament for Mecca, and for his support he was promised all of this by the British.

 

[Desu Mountain]

Transjordan

What an unfortunate name.

Unironically would have saved the world a ton of grief if they had gotten it instead of the retarded Sykes-Picot agreement.

 

[Enoch Emery]

What an unfortunate name.

Palestine is Cisjordan
