I'm behind mars but here's an interesting suggestion for how to counter the shitty ruling from the supremes

My line of thinking has always been, if they went through the lengths of whacking the guy inside a prison, I doubt the powers that be would allow the files and evidence to survive, especially when we had a demented president for 4 years that didn't even know where the fuck he was 90% of the time.
There was a poster in (I think) the older version of this thread that alleged his death wasn't a deep state effort. That the plan was always for him to throw some rich guy and celebs under the bus and not say anything about the larger global players. Problem is the rich guy caught wind or got paranoid he'd be named and hired out an assassination. Heavily implied to be bill gates
Off-topic tips: for upper back pain, in a pinch you can put a tennis ball into a empty pillow case and sling it over your shoulder. Lean up against a wall and slowly use the ball and your body weight to massage your knots out. Don't cross your spine. Don't work your spine. Stay to the left and right of your spine and feel some relief.

Also don't forget to stretch before you begin your day.

Need this to be on-topic? Politics are stressful and most of you hold it in your shoulders and upper back.

A tube of tennis balls costs four bucks. :diddler:
Personally I use a backroller tube mat. That's good for the back and neck.

Not a huge price difference, especially if you don't trust the official inflation numbers. People just have higher standards these days.

The price of a $75k pickup should be compared to a 1968 Cadillac, not a truck, and even then you get way more for your money with a modern vehicle.
Today I learned that EV Hummers start at $100k

The Office (US) ruined an entire generation of millenials and taught them life is reality TV show and making a sarcastic face at the imaginary camera is the snappiest argument possible. the amount i detest The OFfice (US) is endless
Forget the behavioural conditioning: The Office made an entire generation of TV directors do that retarded "look at the camera and give a face reaction" format for all their shows AND the dumb shaky-camera-like-it's-a-documentary camera work. It needs to fucking stop and it makes me irrationally mad.
 
That's assuming JD would even be allowed to become president, which he won't.

MAGA is dead and gone, pack it up everyone. The courts will fuck us over constantly for the next four years and Trump will do nothing to stop them.
Praise Jesus you said this. Everything is going to be ok.

The auto industry needs to take a fucking beating for this shit. The fact these car companies are getting away with this grift while quality is tanking is insanity. Nobody should be taking out what's essentially a second mortgage for cars. No vehicle period outside of exclusive luxury vehicles should be costing anymore than $15k-20. The worst part is, it's all inflated costs. The vehicles fucking sit in the lot and rot for months, if not years or sit in a warehouse until eventually nobody buys them because they're charging 45k for a damn SUV.

And mind you, this comes with a 4 cylinder. Half of a truck engine.

That's what I actually like about The Office. It feels less like a sitcom and more like a blog. Almost like you're actually there as an observer. I think Parks & Recreation and Modern Family does that too. The forced absurdity with the writing and acting can be much because it feels unnatural.
 
The take I heard is that it's actually just them being chickenshits and sending it back down to the lower court rather than point out that no, the lower court is fucking insane. They punted. As part of the punt, they said "well what we've already spent is spent."

So Roberts gets to avoid doing any actual work that might threaten the dignity of his court and his place on the Epstein Island replacement, and ACB gets to jill herself silly at how she's saving the world by making sure money goes to starving pygmies in Papa Neu Guinea so they can learn lesbian interpretive dance or something. The leftists in the court were always going to vote lockstep with the left on this because we don't have the will as a nation to impeach them for this shit.
Reviewing a TRO at all is controversial from my understanding.

The dissent (with four justices) also was unsigned, while a review would have required only four justices sign off on it. So this can also be interpreted as them telling the lower courts they're being watched and that SCOTUS is prepared to start intervening if they keep up the bullshit.

Also the order talks about the government needing to pay for work already completed, not further work that'd keep the programs going.

The kid fucking was just the ink used to sign much more nefarious contracts. The implications being if you break that much more illegal contract they will release your blackmail tape and prosecute just you over it. If you destroy the blackmail a lot of parties to those illicit contracts would renege on them without recourse.

People have been saying things like this for about 8 years now, and I have yet to see that come into fruition.

Maybe not quite as many people take it as seriously anymore, but that's not the same thing as "MAGA just died, y'all".

At this point it's overdone and hacky. It also makes shows difficult for me to watch because I get motion sick pretty easily. I can't even handle some profile pictures here, even though they wouldn't normally bother photosensitive people.
