disparage him as a "doomer" or "blackpiller" all you want, but the difference between posters like Fatpacks, Badman John and
Agitated Gerbil and @The Gene Genie is that @The Gene Genie does raise some legitimately good points, backed up by what we're actually seeing right now, and is actually proposing a plan of action on how to remedy those criticisms he has. The former posters had neither solid criticisms, nor plans of action to remedy them. He is acknowledging the good that the Trump admin is doing right now, while also correctly pointing out that without concrete legislation, it'll all have been for nothing.
 
Nigger, it hasn’t even been a month. Lay off the Adderall.
They had four years to plan for this. By the end of 2023 it was probably apparent internally that they were going to win with a massive public mandate. I'm not writing off the Administration after only a month. But you need to be critical about what they're saying, what they're doing, and what they said they were going to do. You have, unlike other Presidencies, a historical data point (his first term) to see how he will handle himself. The election is over, and we can be critical about the decisions they're making (and not making) without seeming like we're swinging for the other team.
Interesting. Hopefully this will light a fire within them to get a move on.
Four if we play our cards right. I heard of a Democrat senator retiring, and the Democrats are only doubling down on the political cyanide. Lots of potential, just need to keep our heads straight and not nominate loons to beat them.
Historically speaking, the incumbent party always gets thrashed in the midterms. The Democrats may be in a rout now, but two years is a long time politically speaking.
 
I hate to play this card but I can't help but feel like all these air disasters were an inevitability of crumbling infrastructure and not something Trump and Musk are directly responsible for. To which I mean, if Kamala had won I sincerely doubt we'd even see these stories in the news. Like how every disaster under the Biden regime was magically Trump's fault.

Pretty much. The Democrats are content to let the entire country fly apart while they siphon money from the tax payers while doing fuck all to actually fix anything.
 
Democrats have the lowest approval rating they've had in the past two decades. They just elected a twink to vice the DNC chair, their actual DNC chair said that their two biggest demographics are the rich and college students on the news yesterday, and if there is even a fucking sliver of corruption that comes out of the whole DOGE debacle Republicans will never stop reminding the people that Democrats fought tooth and nail to hide it. They have no reliable base anymore outside of women.
Yeah but a lot can change in three weeks. Stay sharp.

Pretty much , alot of these politicans have a plan B when crumbling starts.
DOGE is doing go enough job showing the stuff behind the curtain for I told you so & conspiracy jar.
Expect china to 1 of 2 rising power 2nd being some globalist group in UK.
 
None of these zoomer fucks are supergenuises they are just the public front of what was likely decades of research behind the scenes.

I refuse to believe 6 20 year olds dismantled the most elaborate dark money funding operation in history in 48 hours.
No, this is almost exactly what happens when any audit takes place. Small PL, but I've been involved in large-scale corporate audits from both ends; auditors ask for data, responsible party provides it (quietly shitting themselves if they know about xyz controls/processes that have been violated), auditor finds the cheese.

They're a bit quick (pointing to this not being quite so elaborate as we might think), but it does not take decades to sniff out shit when records are actually being kept. The goal when laundering money is to not get noticed, because perfect concealment is generally not possible. Avoiding an audit is what matters, because once it starts you're done no matter how clever you are; the best you can hope for is a "hey why is [xyz] missing/not recorded here?", and that is not good.
 
When I was a senior in highschool around the time Trump was running in 2016, I got looked at like I grew a 3rd eye when I joked about voting for him.
Likewise. I have two memories of such, one positive, one negative. The negative memory was me minding my own business, talking with friends when some overweight pasty dude approached me to call me a racist before leaving, probably very proud of himself. The positive one was being asked why I supported Trump by a Muslim student (I.E. the people Trump was openly calling to be banned from entering the US during his campaign) and he dapped me up, saying "Alright, respect." Can't remember his name unfortunately.

Historically speaking, you should gain Senate seats in a Presidential Victory and lose some in a midterm, but Trump in his first term lost Senate seats in 2016 and gained them in 2018.
