Was anyone else here just kind of watching 2024 and enjoying it from an outsider perspective until they tried to kill Trimp?
I told my story before, but it's worth repeating.

I was underage in 2016 but would've voted for Trump purely because of GamerGate, and then I voted for him in 2020 but regret it in hindsight because his 1st Term was so disappointing that he wasn't worth voting for again.

My original plan last year was to vote for RFK, since Trump's actions between 2019-2023 really pissed me off (Bump Stock incident, his weak and ineffective posturing during Floyd's Summer of Love, the retarded media circus about him going to prison, etc.).

Then, I remember being at a family member's birthday party when I decided to browse Twitter to pass the time, and I saw a dumb AI video of a Trump assassination. And then I saw it again. And then I saw it again and realized holy fuck it's real.

I was probably going to vote for Trump in that very moment, but RFK's decision to drop out was what sealed the deal.
 
Sun Tzu is rolling in his fucking grave right now.
Sun Tzu was a general the way that Bill Nye is a scientist. His main accomplishment was writing Taoist poetry, and warfare was just a preferred subject.

He was China’s ancient equivalent of the 90’s affirmations genre. The Art of War is equivalent to “chicken soup for the soul” or “14,000 things to be happy about.”

Ironically, the DNC forcing Biden to drop out made things way worse for them. If he had stayed in, RFK would never have thrown his lot in with Trump, and we'd never have him heading the HHS.
 
I wake up and its page after page of accounts from 2025 arguing with 9/11 bait posts. How hard is it to ignore even (1) post he made? Some of you idiots are going to get the thread locked and it's my favorite thread on the board.

Anyway, back on topic, let's check out how the illegal aliens are handling things. Turns out most of them think that either a) Candada is too strict on border control or b) Canada is too horrible escape to.

Their top priority should be to stop doing the shit that lost them the vote and they're just doubling down on it, complete with an increase in vitriol, hatred, and resentment for the actual working class.
In the immediate aftermath of the election, there was tons of Reddit posts trying to run a postmortem on Kamala's historically bad loss, and the most common sentiment was that her positions were too moderate, and that she could've won if she ran on a farther-Left platform that would've excited all of her potential voters that stayed home that day.
Yes, I'm serious, they actually believe this. They're simply incapable of course correcting anymore, the only thing they can do is keep pushing Left until they dissolve.

Bridget never was the first femboy or trap as both tropes have been around since at least the 1970ies in manga, anime, and later in the 1980ies, video games.

In the case of Bridget, the rationale was rather innocuous in that the creator had wanted a "cute character" but not a girl. Also, since the cute girl character spot was already filled by May and trying to do something different instead of same old, same old. As discussed in an interview done shortly after the release of Guilty Gear X2.
Why the hell are you responding to posts from almost 2000 pages ago?

Who wants to learn French?
It's the gayest romance language.

Besides, it's going to be one of our territories very soon. I really fail to understand how a nation completely dependent on ours to prop up their economy can be considered a legitimate state.

demos are such a fucking joke now

Not to mention a literal part of America's 90s affirmations genre. Or maybe 80s. It was a meme for business executives to read his book, which goes to show how abstract it is. I'm sure there are business inferences to be made from "considering the terrain" and "using fire," but it was pretty funny how prevalent it was. Some guys probably just need a superficial excuse like "this is about combat" to be able to dip into philosophy and the arts without feeling gay.

YOU ARE A CRIMINAL HIDING YOUR TRUTH! Now get the fuck out!

He was also a total idiot. I read The Art Of War and there wasn't a single picture in it. Fucking liar.

People debate if he was even real.
A nuclear weapon being fired in anger by anyone repudiates a lot of debt. It's usually listed specifically in contracts.
it also kills everyone

See, there is absolutely legit stuff to criticize Trump over. That's what gets on my nerves.

It is really depressing listening to people I know moan about how awful things are under Trump. They fucking aren't. He's not a great politician, even if he does get shit done, but Christ help me in this holy season of Lent, they just can't God damn help themselves with they hyperbole.
 
I'm still trying to figure out why I should give a shit about all these Federal workers losing their (very obvious useless) jobs. I don't seem to recall all the sob stories and media coverage when Biden cut a fuckton of oil and gas workers out of their jobs and literally told them "learn to code" as they struggled to find something else in the private sector. These are the same kinds of people that cheered as people were fired for not getting the COVID shot. So, if the media is expecting to me to actually give a shit about a bunch of useless bureaucrats losing their "gibs", nah. My sympathy for these people left a long, long time ago.
Dude I have family that lost their jobs over this and I still don't give a shit. I told them a dozen times not to get used to doing their jobs and now the hen has come home to roost. I have a seething cousin who now has permanent TDS as a result.
