It's come to my attention that there are still "narratives" being floated and reinforced online, such as the "OMG Drumph plane crash" when the FAA records show that there haven't been a higher number of plane crashes than in previous years, the "My STONKS" whinging, when stock markets are going through natural corrections and haven't fallen or risen all that far, and "DRUMPH 3rd term fascism!!!" chatter. This tells me that there are still more slush funds hiding out there, and a certain number of spin doctors have managed to switch their funding from USAID to another source. There were even a few Antifatards out in LA fruitlessly trying to take control of the Mexicant's party-protests. (The "eggs!" thing is so low-IQ that I don't think anybody has to pay BlueCry homos to complain about it, so it's somewhat grassy.) This yet-unknown source of swamp funding needs to be found and drained just like USAID was before we can have any genuine discourse in this country.

On a different subject, what would you do if you worked at DOD and got that email from a higher up DOD supervisor, instructing you not to answer Elon's email? Not answering the email is insubordination. Answering it is now also insubordination. There is no safe position. WWYD?

I would probably answer the email. My direct supervisor might fire me, but Trump and Musk might rehire me for a better job later. I'd rather be insubordinate to a middle manager than insubordinate to Musk, who is distinctly higher up the totem pole and has the power to make things right.

Musk is about to find out, assuming Hegseth isn’t a drunk bum, that chain of command is a legit thing. Musk also isn’t going to be hiring anyone (the DOGE kids are volunteers) and neither is Trump. They might make noise about it but the paperwork will never get filed and you’ll never collect a cheque. Also, you seem to be operating under the delusion, like many, that Musk has some form of cabinet position. He does not. He has as much say, in a sane and functional government, as some bum they hire from McKinsey.

I hope AfD manages to win an even larger share next year and the Germans nullify their own elections. Then the US can go in and finish the job. Auf achse for President Trump.

Kamala accepted her fake award from the NAACP because the media is still pretending she's black and actually accomplished something besides losing in almost every state.

I'm surprised the NAACP never gave her some sort of token award already.

The AFD just got washed in the recent elections and pretty much everyone agrees it's because Trump couldn't wait until after European elections for his Ukraine plan.

The AFD was more pro American then the other parties so this just confirms what I have been saying that Trump's needlessly hostile boomer blustering is hurting America.

For those curious how the German election is going.


These were the preliminary polls which seem to be reasonably on track as actual results come out. The AfD looks to be second overall party which is pretty much what was predicted, as was the fact that nothing will change because the other parties will not work with them. So the coalition government will be formed of the largest party and some others from 3rd place down.

I'd consider losing harder than Hillary Clinton could have ever dreamed of an achievement.

Someone made the comment about passive Christians always "turning the other cheek" in order to appear morally superior to others. That's mostly performative shit. The ones *I* find particularly irritating (as one myself) are the ones who always claim that they're "relying on God" but feel the constant need to kvetch about anything Trump (or Republicans) does on a near consistent basis. Wait. I thought you were relying on God for all your needs? The church goer who never fails to bring up politics in a house of worship is INCREDIBLY irritating. It's a constant struggle to bite my tongue and not tell them to knock it the fuck off.

The Mormon Bible however says that the Bible has been corrupted and "corrects" it in its own text.
I would say calling the Bible a corrupted work is more heretical than lying about what it says.

I once heard some Mormon radio guy or whatever be like “how could you not like the Book of Mormon? It’s more bible! I want more bible!”

I fucking hate those disingenuous cunts.

I hate the ones, and I think I said it earlier in this thread, that constantly tell you that you aren’t acting very “Christ-like”. Like fuck you, I’m still human and I recognize that I’m not perfect, but at least I make an attempt and don’t try talking down to other people like a pretentious faggot. Yet these same fuckers can never actually practice what they preach, they just tell you what YOU are doing wrong. See above: MORMONS! They forget that anger is a natural human emotion so will shame you for getting angry to any degree.

They are incredibly punctilious and will get on you for very small shit that doesn’t even matter, like fucking swearing.
