See? THAT'S what I'm getting at. Like, oh no, a law suit, oh no, I'm being sued. That might as well be doing nothing when people start remembering they can just lose their temper and do things that can't be undone.
I mean what I tell everyone who thinks Trump is a dictator is that they don't know what a real dictator is. Put me in charge for a day and I'll do the whole DOGE thing but instead it becomes a death squadron. Every erroneously wasted Uniparty Neo Pol dollar spent, I blow the brains out of every employee responsible. Their only choice to be spared is to rat out their co-workers. If you get ratted on, they die. Everyone still goes to Guantanamo.

The illegal immigrants? I laugh in Mexico's face when they tell me they won't accept them and I say "Okay, lol. I won't deport them. I'm just going to execute them air drop the bodies in Mexico". Full execution for ALL illegal immigrants, man, woman, and Guantanamo Bay for every child over the age of 14. Before you all bash me, hear me out; these gangs don't recruit 18-20 year olds most of the time. They start these kids YOUNG. In bad parts of Mexico, by 12 a lot of young boys are already in gangs. They start at 10 doing robberies. That means these kids have been in gangs for 6-8 years of you were to stick to 18 year olds. That's half of their damn lives out of diapers. That's A LOT of indoctrination to undo. You can't just let them go free even though they're minors. It'd be nice if you could, but that's not the world we live. Kids become gang members by 14. That's the world we live in. It happens in America, and it happens everywhere else too.

As for Gaza? I'm with Trump. You're damn right I'm taking over Gaza. They'll get a date and month to flee before I carpet bomb the ever loving shit out of Gaza until there's nothing left. There won't be a Palestine anymore. But anyone who lives can come back and get free room and board and work in my all new Arabian Nights themed Casino! All expenses paid for workers as compensation, and you can keep the tips. Sure you'll be serving alcohol to Jews, but it's a pretty sweet deal and I have a hard time believing that many Palestinians wouldn't take the deal.

Anyway, that's some stuff a REAL dictator would do. Oh and Canada and Mexico would be invaded. By force. And conquered. Probably in days.
 
I'm honestly surprised, I thought McConnell would be able to spike the vote somehow but I guess his power really is gone.

We should start calling him Mitch the Little Bitch until his last day.
The only thing I will give him praise for is keeping Merrick Garland from the Supreme Court.
 
Likewise, a cadre of classically-educated architects will effectively eliminate the 'bad' classical architecture (i.e. McMansions) in the US- which is effectively caused by B-tier modernist architects tasked with design traditional architecture for tasteless developers despite lacking the knowledge of how to do so. The damage will have to be slowly undone- starting off with less-decorated traditional buildings- but it's quite possible to have it done well since traditional architecture is really more about proportions, and effective results can be attained by switching skins while retaining the building systems inside.
You’ve got it backwards - developers don’t want to pay for traditional architecture because it costs more money due to requiring skilled craftsmen. I love when I get to play with brick and stonework and actually detail things out, but clients never want to pay for that stuff unless the jurisdiction requires it. McMansions are typically off the shelf plans put together by a design/build firm for a developer that wants to build cheap and easy and then sell at a massive markup. Commercial buildings are neutral EIFS boxes because they go up and can be ready for a tenant to move in in 16 weeks, and if the tenant doesn’t renew their lease it’s easier to sell a new tenant on a building that isn’t designed with the previous tenant’s branding in mind (like how the roof shape is a dead giveaway that the medical office used to be a Pizza Hut)

If we want buildings to look nice again, we as a society need to mandate that they look nice. Developers only want what they can build and turn over quickly.
 
I don't know why they think the brain worm thing is such an own. The guy survived a brain worm and lived to tell about it. He has spasmodic dysphonia and still manages to keep a job where he needs to talk a lot and communicate effectively.
Their implication is he’s brain damaged and therefore unfit for office, but one look at him refutes that.
 
How the fuck has Kentucky continued to allow Mitch to be here for 40 fucking years?
I seriously don't get it. Is there any Kenfuckysucky citizens who can explain?
A lot of people sleep on primaries and I'm sure Mitch just pushes people out of the way so he isn't even challenged. I'd be curious to see who his challengers were though.
 
unsurprisingly, they're trying to be dishonest about trump bringing down prices. let me assure you, prices in my local grocery and other places are actually lower. this nigger is straight up lying to you about this shit and hoping you don't notice.
The only thing that hasn't decreased was poultry and eggs, which is outside the ability of anybody because it's a force of nature that's causing the increased prices on that.
Just bought 5 lbs of beef, cost about $10 more or less.
Cocaine Mitch on suicide watch, the day of the crab rave cometh soon
I hope his next fall is the one that introduces him to his maker.
 
Why was the F-22 abandoned
IIRC, Congress blocked the sale of the F-22 to any US allies, which pushed the unit price up to an astronomical levels as the R&D costs had to be amortised over a much smaller production run. This was then used as an excuse to cancel any further purchases, to "save money".

@Fatpacks is wrong once again
If this carries on, his burger suit will need a burger suit.

The below Tuscaloosa Federal building was built in 2011 at a very reasonable cost of around $50 million, which is comparable to a modernist equivalent in Austin built around the same time.

I hope they put aside a little money to decorate the pediments at some point. Get some greek gods and angels in there.
 
Congrats RFKjr! This makes me happy. Now it's Patel time!

I think Gaetz was a bait and switch to get Bondi in, Fetterman has never been based he's only exhibited the ability to possibly, for a hot minute, look at the other side of an issue and I think that's his stroke talking not him, and Bernie is the most (D)ependent Independent that ever existed.

Mitch really has TDS, doesn't he?

He's won primaries against Trump aligned challengers like half a dozen times.

From what I understand despite being a worthless traitorous piece of shit and also turtley enough for the turtle club he brings a lot of pork aka gibsmedats to his district which is why he keeps on getting elected.

Because Mitch sends enormous amounts of money back to KY, and any time a primary challenge comes up, the message to primary voters is that all those fedbux will be lost if he's gone.

Unfortunately as someone who lives adjacent they never run good enough candidates against him in either party ..and the majority of areas outside the two biggest cities are very republican.
don’t worry though, most of the state wants to piss on him when he passes too.
 
If RFK Jr. can actually so something to reign in Big Food and reduce the amount of actual poison in our food and drink, holy shit that would be good for literally the entire nation.
Yeah there will still be record obesity, but bro we’ve got to have some rules around here and I think “don’t poison the food” is a good start.
You'd be surprised how quick the tides can turn.
Prediabetes can be put into remission in a matter of months, people who are obese can lose about a 100 pounds in a year, depression and bipolar can take months. This is through metabolic therapies and lifestyle intervention.
The main barrier is implementation and using strategies that actually work. And keeping people consistent (social events, holidays, divorce, death of a loved one, etc can all be triggers for backsliding to old bad habits).
Whether RFK Jr can figure out what interventions will be most effective, and how much influence he can exert on the country as a whole, I don't know.
But I wouldn't be surprised if things did actually get better. Just by looking at grassroots health movements I already know it's possible.
