Curse you disloyal weebos. You can't find the obvious reference your our own culture. Its Star Wars.

Term 1: A New Hope
Biden: The Empire Strikes Back
Term 2: Return of the Jedi


They're fine for the price. I'm surprised there are still people in 2025 who havent tried one yet. Anyway if you want the best pillow, its Purple. (I wish it were MyPillow)

RFK Jr.-led CDC kills flu shot campaign, cancels major vaccination conference (Archive)

Honest question because I might be missing something, why is this a good thing?

Honest question because I might be missing something, why is this a good thing?

It's a waste of money and resources, more than likely.

If someone wants a flu shot, they'll get the flu shot. Majority of the time if you spend any amount of time seeing your doctor, they themselves already push for it.

Conferences are also typically giant wastes of money. They're an excuse to network for your next job and eat expensive food and get drunk on the company's (in this instance the tax payer's) dime.

They do realize normal people have gotten sick of this shit, right?

No. They've had multiple posts of them going "wait, when did people start hating Federal Workers?" and the like in this thread and the fednews reddit thread.

They genuinely think they're the poor oppressed nu-Jews fighting Orange Hitler and everyone else is about to break out into song about how they're fighting the good fight and inspiring the rest of America with their reddit posts.

All this over layoffs. Of organizations that can lose 70,000 people to buyout offers and not even make a dent. That lost Trillions in American taxpayer dollars to the most blatant waste and corruption ever seen.

They have no clue. Not only can they not read the room, they've been indoctrinated and demoralized into believing the room doesn't exist, the only thing that matters is their social media accounts on their smartphones.

... DOGE should ban Smartphones from Federal Work Sites. No need for people to use them at work, and too big a security risk. Imagine if all these people had to go cold Turkey off Reddit and X and TikTok? They'd break.

This is such a weird thing to do, but I'm not wholly against it.
Instead of just throwing away the key for people on these meds, you can actually help them by just letting them work. Gives them something to do, and possibly kick their addiction to the curb, with the bonus of learning a new skill.

expect the horde of fat redditors to sneer at it with YOU CAN'T FIX MY MENTAL ISSUES WITH PHYSICAL LABOR (same ones who think you just need to send a social worker to "deescalate" or constantly ree at trump).

there are people with mental issues outside their control, but the vast majority are fat shits sitting in their own filth all day (or a shitty job) with a diet of HFCS and other slop, doomscrolling social media they're not 10/10 and no one wants them and everything's shit anyway, and just taking pills and doing some therapy will "fix" them. just like addiction nothing changes even after rehab if you don't change your circumstances and mental outlook, and they certainly don't have the mental fortitude or discipline to fix themselves.

a pill is just so much easier/lazy and works much better as a placebo than the effect you only gonna see after two weeks of hard labor and no internet.

that fucking slide of hand, lol. nobody can force you to get rid of your addiction. This will 200% be voluntary, obviously.

there's a lot of way to do "voluntary", for one financial angle. the camp trip being free, while pills are not. even the right shrink could persuade them to at least try it (doubtful since that would mean fixing the issue and decrease hours).
you could even make it mandatory to a certain degree before insurance covers your shrink bill etc.

So Kirsche?

"mr candiate, what is your opinion on sounding?"
"sounding?"
"I'm glad you asked, I got a tab to explain it better *hiccup* HELP!"

how is one day of not buying stuff (if it even happens) make any difference from the other days of the year.

Retards in Canada are pushing for a "Buy Canadian" day for the same day to stick it to Hitler Trump and his meanie tariffs and "threat" of annexing us. Hmmm. Wonder if this is some Soros shit.

They just need to feel attached to a "movement" of some kind to be able to feel like they did something. Nothing more than a keffals style slacktivisim.

Is this true? I have no idea about US tax system, but feels crazy to increase taxes for someone this poor already?
Can someone explain to me how does it work?

I'm extremely to the party, but I just found out that in 2019 Trump appointed a man named Chad Wolf to be the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Absolute meme administration

They can't defend until they have their cover story and they can't even throw Kamala under the bus because shit was so bad they need her to double pinky swear vouch and endorse Biden's cover story.


It's worse than that.

Hillary was basically PROMISED the Presidency by DNC during the darkest days of Monicagate to make her stay with Bill and not divorce him on the spot. This combined with the fact that the DNC's entire goal after Bush got elected, even after Obama outflanked her to get the nomination, was a Clinton restoration which ultimately got rejected the people.

That’s really the persistent fundamental flaw of the DNC, the idea that they should be the ones to pick Presidents rather than voters.

They see themselves as a neoliberal equivalent to a vanguard party, the enlightened elite that guide and represent the will of the masses better than the uneducated crowd. That and they're bought and paid by the donor class, just look at what happened to Bernie.

Has any risk of a 2nd civil war gone down since Trump took office?

US politics felt tense in those months leading up to the election.

Trump is the lynchpin holding the US together right now.

The tension before the election was the possibility of oppression under the boot of "Globalism". White men lacked leadership and cohesion. Any "Civil War" would probably look more like a Dekulakization.

Big wars require opposing oligarchs with banker backing.

The current Trump2.0 MAGA faction only really started coalescing after the failed Butler, PA assassination. Vance, RFK Jr, and Musk joined after that event. Trump also has some kind of understanding with Israel.

After the inauguration Trump and DOGE seized control of federal payment systems. This has been very effective in damaging part of the Globalist's patronage network.

USAID is "small potatoes". Globalists seem to have retreated and accepted the loss of USAID. The IMF, World Bank, IBRD, and Federal Reserve are where the real risk of dangerous escalations are.

If a large enough Globalist power faction is "trapped in a corner" with no exit, they could choose to escalate to war. With Boomers dying of old age there are going to be plenty of destabilizing events that could set things off.

Monster Hunter Wilds releases Feb 28 and is going to sell millions of copies at $70 each, so this is already a failure.

Yes i have taken it from a polish website, but its also on Reddit and other places. Since i am not American I just wanted to confirm if its true or is it some sort of misinformation being spread?

Kash Patel has been named Active Director of the ATF. Good chance ATF goes away altogether, folded into FBI. For those who would cheer this just remember what the FBI has been doing against your interests for the past decade or more.

I might have missed in all the frenzy and excitement of the first month, but did Trump say anything about making English the official language at the federal level? Admittedly, it won't do much to stop illegals, especially if they have ethnic/cultural enclaves to hide in and continue to use their mother tongue. But, at least, it sets an expectation of minimal cultural integration to anyone coming into the country, might save you millions upon millions in interpreters and translators, and Jersh won't have to listen to "Prima dos para Español" every time he tries to stop the government from poking him in the ass.

As long as you have a mandate, might as well make the most use of it.

According to Google Translate, it means "Satan's Stiff Nipple"
ChatGPT gives more: Same literal meaning, but in Polish internet meme slang, it conveys "surprise,astonishment or disbelief. It's an informal expression and may be considered vulgar or offensive..."

Looks like the site is a news aggregator.

I really hope this fat pig lost her job:

Pink-haired DEI trainer slams Oregon forestry bosses 'for hiring on basis of merit not gender or identity' - Megan Donecker filed a complaint about her former boss Mike Shaw and moaned about him telling her that he sought the 'candidates most qualified for the job.'

That's the Oregan Department of Forestry not the US Forest Service. On a side note, Forest Service employees are autistically obsessed with how it's Forest Service not Forestry Service.
