Trump should have just added he will make federal law every abortion ban law needs to be passed in referendum with 50% of the vote. Even in Florida pro abortion Bill got 56% and the only reason it didn't pass is because they needed 60% . Every single pro abortion bill passed including those that are basically killing babies at birth,with flying colours in even red states and every anti abortion failed on referendums the lowest i seen for pro abortion bills i seen is 56% correct me if i am wrong. People genuinely want abortion legal and conservatives need to make peace with it just like dems need to make peace with the fact people want to say nigger and have guns. It's that simple.
Work this a little more and you can pull something similar to libertarian mantra out of it but for MAGA.

Theirs is "i want gay married couples to be able to defend their Marijuana fields from the feds with ar-15s"
 
So, I will have a probably unpopular opinion.

I want Trump to be able to run for a third term. I want him to keep running until he either dies in office e or resigns mid-term because he feels he has done enough. This would provide ample time to secure MAGA as an ongoing movement -and- allow his successor a while in office to prove themselves while also creating an incumbent advantage.
 
A cry from the Eagle out West has woken us from our rest and dozing. A societal change is coming and they, whoever they are, wherever they are, however many of them they may be, will not win. What they forget, is that we have history; castles, forts and walls, while they no nothing of the past, which is why they will once again be naught but a mention, a sidenote, to the epics written of our victory.
That is all well and good, unless the coalition in charge or a similarly minded judge doesn't decide to just annul your elections -- because fuck you, that's why -- or forcefully, and legally, put down any proposed or foreseeable change in government (because that change would be illegal).

I hope DOGE does this for millitary and it's contractors as well.

"This shouldn't cost 20 thousand dollars"
I always think about that episode of King of the Hill where Hank gets a haircut on base and the army decides the haircut was worth $900

I don't think that's necessary. The Democrats keep pushing the same policies that catapulted Trump to a legendary political comeback. People always questioned whether MAGA has staying power beyond Trump and I think, now, it does.

the Wake County DEI faggot @Breadbassket posted about earlier in the thread got BTFO by Musk himself
The Department of Education sent a letter Friday threatening the federal funding of any academic institution that considers race in most aspects of student life — the same day top Trump official Elon Musk warned a Wake County school board member who had criticized opponents of diversity, equity and inclusion that he’s “in for a rude awakening”.
 
This might be a wild swing of the bat, but I'm guessing the NYU republicans aren't the most MAGA tier republicans out there. Also lol woman leader, of course.
Local, intra-party stuff is all women. Men mostly get involved while running for office or something rather than doing the behind the scenes work. It's certainly a problem sometimes.
 
Think of why this entire forum exists. Yes, that’s right, your tax dollars paid for (and continues to pay for) the antics of CWC and will continue to do so, likely for the remainder of his life.

His tugboat isn’t cheap, so in essence, we work so Chris can lay around all day doing god knows what. I could be upset, but I got over it years ago

Per your message responding to social security going to those in the 30-39 bracket: joke's on you, Chris is in his 40s now.

Whilst Trump learned his lesson from the first term about who you assign to certain roles and how you ought to treat those who hold nothing but contempt for you, he's getting quite on in years and I don't think he'd want to risk excessive pushback by running for a 3rd term, even if he had the popular support to do so. The best thing he can do is ensure that he supports a true Maga successor and hope said successor is just as effective as he currently is in his second term. I think Vance, from his speech in Munich and Twitter arguments, would be worthy of succeeding him, as he is more acquainted with the way things are rather than the way things were like a lot of older politicians. Whilst someone like DeSantis is aware of the tranny menace for example, he likely learnt how unpopular it was from polls and adhering to Christian values rather than someone like Vance, who has more a presence online and can see what people are upset about and actually want from their elected representatives.

They put women in these positions because many colleges nigh-on demand it. If the student Republican Party organization is all white men, they get Duke Lacrossed.

Trump is only doing so well right now because he’s using the system exactly as it is currently written. If he undoes the term limits, we’d get situations like FDR the moment a Democrat gets back in office. Don’t forget, Obama was bitching about how he could have won a third term as he was walking out of the White House when Trump won in 2016.

While I agree with you, Trump would be in his early 80s by the time he leaves office, and a third term would put him in his mid-to-late 80s. Unlike Biden, he doesn’t appear to be struggling with dementia, but even he must recognize the uncertainties of aging. That’s why, beyond "Punished Trump," he’s moving fast to cement a legacy that he hopes will endure long after he's gone. He wants his impact to be felt for generations, shaping the future through policies and decisions that will outlast his presidency. And, I'm sure he wants to be remembered as a defining president of our time. A few long long years from now, I can see people looking back and celebrating him for what he sacrificed for the MAGA movement.
 
Big Tech is not on your side because of some cultural shift. They’re simply following the trend which makes them money. It’s shocking how soon some of you forget antivax pro-homeschool moms got zuckd by Biden’s DOJ demanding cuckerberg ban far right extremists to the shadow realm. Elon is not on your side either. They both want you dead.
I think people like you forget the woke shit is what is being unnaturally astroturfed by corporations. People like Suckerberg dropping DEI is them reverting to their default beliefs.

Facebook and all the other social media sites were being threatened by the Federal government if they didn't go woke. Now that threat is gone, they are dropping it. The true believers are companies like Boeing who are doing it with no incentive.

None of us actually believe that corporations are on any side except lining their own pockets. I've never met a Republican voter who did think of them as allies. People tend to confuse "businesses have a right to try to make money" with "Republicans are simping for corporations!" That is MSM astroturfing.
 
Actually, the only major figure of the WRE from its final century of existence I can think of that wasn't some sort of Roman-German hybrid, be he hero or villain, was the Emperor Majorian. Who did great things in the short time that he ruled but was tortured to death by the general Ricimer (basically a Suebic anti-Stilicho) with the connivance of, as you might guess, the niggers of the Roman Senate.
Anthemius, sent over as Emperor from the Eastern Empire, working together with Ricimer (Romanized Germanic Prince) and Emperor Leo, was the likely last real grasp, which ended when their fleet sent to invade North Africa was first caught in a storm then destroyed by the Vandals. After that the ERE used up its last free resources to help the West and the WRE, limited to Italy, was basically doomed.
 
The enthronement of the Emperor ordained by heaven has started to shake even the ivory tower of academia to its core. All the tea is being spilled.

Apparently the vast majority of even PHYSICS research was bullshit make work funded by the Government to pay for useless midwits and student visas.

Sabine: Look at these fraudulent shits, turning research into a grift, wasting people's tax dollars, making science useless. We need to stop this.

Sabine: Not like this! He's going too far!

Sorry Sabine, the free lunches stop now. The stuff that proves useful will get funded again.

I Forget the exact interview, but during the campaign last year he was pretty clear “this is my last election” because of his age. While he’s in seemingly great health and could probably live as long as Carter did, holding onto his post so long that it becomes a detriment is definitely not one of his ideals. Plus, a weak and decrepit Trump would just hurt MAGA in general. I think picking Vance, the second youngest senator at 40, was a strategic move. Vance is younger, stronger, and can continue on for several more decades, which can potentially keep the movement and the party going, he’s also got his sons who could potentially run someday.
this is term is absolutely intended to be the swan song to the Donald Trump story after decades of celebrity and public life
 
Yes but the point is the system should not let you send the invoice out without that information.

It was designed to allow it, that in itself is ridiculous. Did no one notice? Of course they did. Whether it was designed that way by incompetence or by intention, they kept it that way because it lets them hide their intentionally untraceable fraud in a pile of accidental-out-of-laziness untraceable legit transactions.

This is stupidly common in software development.

  1. Software project gets requirements with the "why" field marked as mandatory.
  2. Developers deliver the system.
  3. User complains about their weird edge cases where they never have a reason code, because it comes later, and they have regulatory approval to send payments without the code. New system breaks the workflow!
  4. Manager shrugs and tells developers to make the code optional. "It's a training issue, we'll just tell employees to always enter the code."
  5. Software is updated to make the field optional.

2 years later: nobody bothers with the code.

Government systems should be held to a higher standard, especially with our 100+ year history of arguing over budgets and trying to audit an ever-growing federal government. But you aren't going to find better software development practices in the government than you find in private practice.
