all this from a single email asking about what you did that week.
If you can't even bullet point 5 things in the span of a week you did I'm not sure you're qualified to be a cashier at a walmart. Scanning things, putting them in bags, and handling the register all at once is probably to much for these people to handle.
 
Seems innocuous, right? Except that the actual payback amount will 2 billion.
The thing about Chicago and also Illinois is that it has a 1.1T GDP, that's pennies on the dollar for it. Even though the state budget does get overblown or out of proportion it does get paid back one way or another. I don't know if you ever saw the JRE podcast with Rod Blagojevich but their is something really special about politics in that place that just does not happen anywhere else, it will work out in the end in one weird Illinois only way or another. The idea of the budget being balanced in Illinois is just a joke, it never is but it does turn poisitive from time to time and get sorted, then they do it all over again for construction on I-80.

We’ve had a a month and a half of winning and the moment they fuck up something for PR points (and are actively working to fix it, getting Kash to fork over the docs) the doomers finally have something that reinforces their buck breaking and you all go along with it
Shit’s bad, but is fixable and is being fixed and has no relation to your standard of living or tax dollars
Quit being schizo over it as if the admvnistrvtion hvs fvllen
It's hard to imagine Trump taking this well at all. He made his promises, has been fucked over far too many times, and is now being indirectly humiliated by people he placed trust in. Someone's head is going to metaphorically roll for this unless we get the substantial information we were promised.

Yeah but selling out your future for shit in the now is never a good idea unless absolutely necessary
The interest could pay for one and a half extra projects of a similar scope but instead it would go to creditors and banks
 
Pack it up boys, it’s Trumpover
Every time they've fucked with him, he's moved further right and gave fewer fucks. He didn't bend over or bow out when they tried to kill him. Or when they tried to imprison him.
The events of the last month have given me the kind of faith in a politician I didn't think was possible.

Yes, because he clearly doesn't actually believe it. He doesn't defend his bad takes with anywhere close to the level of zeal of a true believer. So. bad troll, fed, or schizo.
He put on the burger suit so I'll put up with his doomposting. Besides, he's far from the biggest retard in here.

It kind of doesn't matter. The Epstein files have reached the same status as the JFK files in that anything that comes out won't make people happy ay this stage and there will still be various informal groups of people who say they are doctored, incomplete or gay.

If the Epstein files were to have any power then they would've had to have been released long ago and not by a government but rather by an insider to something like WikiLeaks.

How selling out the future? Stuff is cyclical there. Winter, summer then construction are the three seasons there and like I said it does get paid back. It's better to have a weird cycle like that than be destitute like other states.

Are doomers still whining? I've put most of them on ignore, except for Fatpacks (since he put the burger on).
 
He mentioned it in many if not most of his campaign speeches for four years.
If you say so. Like 95% of the population I never tuned into them. His speeches are hours long streams of consciousness. I don’t have time for that.

He says lots of things. And he is releasing the files. He is following through. You should come to terms with the strong possibility that there are no major surprises to be found in them.

If the government is going to murder a billionaire to cover up a bunch of shit they aren’t just going to leave papers revealing those secrets lying around. And if it’s not a coverup and they had any strong evidence to prosecute more big names then they already would have done it.

Maybe that’s why Bongina was installed as a backup
 
Kennedy makes sense because they are up there with the Bushes and Clintons as a political dynasty. Another one I would suspect is Vince McMahon, who's wife is now in charge of education.
Late as fuck, but it also makes sense because the list Trump and RFK are on is Epstein's general contacts. How many kiwis have contacts in their phone right now that they haven't called in over 10 years because they were an old college acquaintance? I'm willing to bet most of us do. How many of us have added a business contact we never ended up communicating with?

This isn't a smoking gun, or even a loaded gun, and acting like it is ignores how people actually use contact lists in the real world.
 
Canada realizing that the US could use their country as a sex toy, and no one would care
These people are retarded if they think anyone gives a flying fuck about Canada. All the past 30 days have done is prove how weak and pathetic Canada is as country. The US might as well just take them over.

I don't really think so. What was Bondi supposed to do? They handed over the documents and lied to her face. The FBI is fucking garbage. She put on a spotlight on them. I'm not sure what else she could do at this point other than raid the FBI building and start making arrests. Which she might do. We'll find out in a few hours.
