I'm going to say this one time

This is what we call "trying too hard." The only time I hear about Hillary Clinton now is from this site. Her political goodwill has been shattered beyond repair because she has spent all her capital on Trump, which has failed miserably towards the eyes of the public. Seeing her try to get back into the good graces of the public reminds me of a Frankenstein, just parading around a corpse that barely has any sentient soul.

There comes a point where you have to say "enough is enough" and quit while you're ahead. It'd be more interesting if she would snap and expose skeletons from the Democratic Party in some pyrrhic victory. Or even just retire gracefully with your family.The Hillary Clinton I was knew was a facade because her attempts of relevancy shows she cannot let anything go.
Gen Z seems to care a lot less about the whole boss bitch thing than millennials did.

The whole sarcastic remark followed by an eye roll and sassy finger wave doesn't get thunderous applause like it used to.

Which is good, the Daily Show and its consequences was disastrous for our culture.
 
@Useful_Mistake usually posts a lot of legal shit and might understand it better than me. Your thoughts?
Sec 2 (2) (iii) (someone fucking is hardly ever a matter of public concern by itself, but say Trump having sex with someone high up in Russian military would be. So that section would probably be read in consideration of this)

(2) (B) looks weird to me because that is already illegal. Hesitant that this would get prosecution the opportunity to stack the charges, but otherwise nothing objectionable.

(2) (C) is objectionable because it gives the right for "an intelligence agency of the United States" "to use an interactive computer service to knowingly publish an intimate visual depiction of an identifiable individual who is a minor with intent to [...]arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person"

(3) (A) is unconstitutional, I'd say except as to (iv)

(3) (C) is unconstitutional because it allows the DoJ to fabricate evidence
 
I wish Ted wrote more. At the time of publication, his sections about liberals being oversocialized were dismissed as right-wing nutjob bullshit. It was the "End of History," the liberals supposedly won, and the Soviet archives hadn't been fully picked through so revisionist history (the stuff about the Soviets being innocent and the US being imperialist meanies) was not yet dead.
To be fair it was kind of hard to take a lot of the things he wrote at the time because terrorism. Very difficult to take him seriously as an intellectual when the knowledge of him having killed three people and injured several more was fresh.

So its looking more and more Bondi got away scot free fucking up the release of the Epstein files. Supposedly some one is going to be "fired" which means no Dem is actually going to jail for fucking over Republicans.
It doesn't really matter. We all know that fucking everyone important is named, and nothing is going to come of it. There's a reason they brought in Xitter influencers for a photo op for the Epstein files, it's because that's who is still the enthusiastic audience for Epstein news in 2025. Xitter influencers and their boomer readers. This administration has a thing for stringing those type of people along on information-promise vectors, e.g. "we'll release the Kennedy files," "we'll release the NJ drone files," now "we'll release the Epstein files," and it's just never true, they don't ever do it. At a certain point you have to stop running to kick the football and recognize that some of this stuff is pure theater for the television crowd.
 
Vacuum tubes for classic amplifiers and high fidelity magnetic tape for 16 track 2.5” recording machines.

Russia has been basically the only source for those things

Oh, and uranium
Titanium as well as caviar, some steel and gas is there as well as electricity to small countries around it like Mongolia and Kazakhstan.

"I had a dream last night. The President was hosting Captain Planet, that faggy cartoon superhero, at the White House to sign some kinda fuckin' fruit exports-imports deal or whateva. One of the jounrnalist sons-a-bitches mentions kiwis, like the fruit, and then J.D. Vance brings up Kiwi Farms, the website."
"What's the significance of this 'Kiwi Farms'?"
"It's just a gossip column, pretty much. But in my dream after J.D. brings it up Captain Planet all three of them get into a fist fight. And then I go to check the Politics thread and all two-thousand pages since January have been replaced with nothing but talk about Captain Planet."
"Okay, but what does Kiwi Farms mean to you?"
"Well, I never heard about it until some droop-lip retahd who used to stalk some of the girls at the Bing wouldn't shut-up about it. After that, I asked AJ if he heard of it and he helped me make an account."
"How would your associates feel about you having a Kiwi Farms account?"
"To be honest, I've made threads in Prospering Grounds for a few of them, but they haven't taken off yet."
Would Null let the NSA post lolcow threads?

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. intends to invest $100 billion in chip manufacturing plants in the U.S. over the next four years under a plan expected to be announced later Monday by President Trump, according to people familiar with the matter. The investment would be used to build out cutting-edge chip-making facilities. Such an expansion would advance a long-pursued U.S. goal to regrow the domestic semiconductor industry after manufacturing fled largely to Asian countries in recent decades.

Yet people continue to fanboy for Pol Pot and Mao Zedong. Hell, people romanticize the Weather Underground. Ted being a right-wing terrorist is what made him verboten.

Trump not gay

Valerie Gerasimov is man

Yeah. Also Russia has a massive industrial capacity, but they’ve been under sanctions so long we’ve never explored the possibilities. I’d say drunk factory workers can produce some fuckups, but they have the technical capability to match 99% of what we ourselves can do, just not the overhead and trade infrastructure to do it for widespread commercial purposes.

But nobody would call most generations of MiGs and Sukhois shit. A lot of Russian shit is cool.
 
There have been like two hundred truck of peace and understanding attacks at this point.

I'm guessing Germany probably has some gay anti discrimination laws that prevents them from saying no or asking questions when an obviously suspicious durka durka Muhammad Jihad shows up to rent a truck for two hours and pays in cash.
 
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.”

No wonder Tony made so many bad decisions as a boss, he read the shit outta that book.

Nah, they probably have a form for it at this point.
 
They sell everything ranging from prison food to medium-tier restaurant food.

I guarantee you most of the food you’ve eaten at restaurants came from them or from one of their very similar competitors unless you only eat at chains and places where the chef brags about what farm they bought their produce/meat from.
I'm aware of their omnipresence, that's part of the reputation. I'm also very aware that anyone with a bit of skill can turn cheap bulk buy ingredients into great food.
The main point I'm trying to bring up is that "Sysco bad" is a sentiment often seen in the private sector as well and the issues are not solely due to government incompetence, though that's surely a large part of the issue. The personal cafeteria anecdote probably wasn't very useful to that end, I'll admit.
 
They only way they can win is if they accept this and actually change their positions, rather than thinking they can just change their language to fool voters. Good luck.
I think I remember a bit on JD Vance talking about aborrion on Joe Rogan. He said something along the lines of that he and the republican party need to above all rebuild good will and trust with the american people through action. And I have thought about that as they have been nonstop chugging along during this administration. Changing your wording may have worked against the old GoP, but against the trump train you must now also put your money where you mouth is if you want to win.
 
Niggy Crockett opening her shit-encrusted mouth again:
When I first saw this woman, my first thought was "How the fuck did Tiffany Henyard get into Congress?"

You know how Null likes to say every woman in LA buys the same face from their plastic surgeons? It's the same shit for black politicians and hair weaves.

That's true but often those people are not large in number unless there is some sort of state enforcing the respect of a particular individual upon the people. It's weird to see Ted Kaczynski be described as right-wing though I guess that's because he critiqued the left so much. He himself seems to be more of an anarchist or libertarian that dislikes the modern world. The man wrote a letter that outright rejects eco-fascism.
