Every single aspect of Stargate SG1 was based on true stories. They had to make it brain parasites because ass parasites was too far even for 90s scifi.

Yeah! Stargate talk is back on the menu.

Let's talk about how McKay ends up having a character arc almost as good as Rom's on Deep Space Nine.

I don't know if it's maternal instincts or what but I just want to get him away from those ladies. unfortunately as a cop dealing with those kind of citizens feels like you're two seconds away from them screeching and firing a gun at you or something

As a man, I look at it as him learning a lesson about the world he couldn't learn otherwise. He's learning how to read them and determine if they have anything to offer him aside from a cheap hookup.

It's a shame guys older than him don't have this ability. I was working a shitty temp job with a guy who'd bust his ass with any assignment he could to get child support money. He wanted to be in his kid's life and be the father he never had. That was years ago and I still find myself wondering how he's doing and if he's moved up to doing something better like getting an industrial certification or a degree.

One thing I have to respect about this kid is he's got priorities together better than most guys older than him. I really hope he beats this cancer.

I don't even understand what kind of parent would bring their child into a setting like this. Nigger culture is vile to the absolute core.

The type that uses his kids to get clicks.

Trumpfags are so retarded all they can do is resort to ad-hominem attacks when you remind them of their Orange Messiah's failing policies.

Are you a kid sniffer or you just vote for em?

I sometimes sperg about Dutch politics, but I hope it can help enlighten Americans about how the Netherlands isn't utopian like r/fuckcars makes it out to be. I hate doomposting but the Netherlands is basically dead and irrelevant in the near future due to retarded welfare/tax system, immigration, 'green' policies, regulations, raping the private sector, constant government scandals, no future planning, cucked right wing politicians and coalition (glowie pm and jewish right wing leader), lawyers having more authority than every democratic institution, political corruption, outdated and bloated bureaucracy, et cetera. The worst part is that government is basically protecting actual pedophiles (police 'warning' actual pedophiles with real cp, guys having to pay a complicit pedophile for calling him a pedophile and a guy who called an actual pedophile politican a pedophile was criminally charged for insulting the pedophile politician (that politician fucked multiple 15 year old boys)).

I guess we found out what "not just bikes" refers to...

Thereby setting the stage for everyone turning against Trump and voting in a Dem president in 2028 to undo whatever progress he plans to make.

Long-term plans are not viable in this era. The masses want their problems solved now.

Trump is a democrat. Name even one position he's to the right of Bill Clinton on.

 

[oh no its pipkun]

The thing that really gets me is the we must have world war 3 now thinking.

if ww3 breaks out under trump it proves he's not a good deal maker.

And they wonder why white people don't like black people.

"Trump is blowing up all these status quos that really sucked" is not the winning clapback Democrats think it is.

They live in a different reality. To them, the status quo didn't suck. Infinite amounts of free money were going to leftist causes that did jack shit to further our interests or fix anything but made a bunch of AWFLs jill themselves silly thinking they were saving the world by making shit like underwater basket weaving classes available to Egyptian transsexuals. Infinite free jobs that you could literally never be fired from and never had to do any actual work. And oh god, the embezzlement must have been insane. Those USAID grants probably bought more mansions in a single month than 5 years of BLM grifting. Just look at the INSANE prices in the Washington DC area housing market's ongoing firesale.

To them, Trump is ruining a really good thing. Trump is shattering several of the major Overton Window anchors that they were using to culturally engineer America and most of the west. Worse, he might make a bunch of fat fucking lazy black women actually get real jobs. Won't someone think of poor Shaniqua Bixnood and the other 65% of American Black Women College Graduates who IMMEDIATELY went into fed busy-work careers forever?

I can't wait to see a red strike through your name.

This does remind me of something that needs to be said before it happens so that I can point to this post and say its not post-hoc rationalization.

Things -will- get worse before they get better. A lot worse. The dollar -is- going to fall, our allies -will- have strained relations with us, there -will- be rises in prices and the need to tighten the belts of Americans.

Trump's policies are aimed at solving long-term problems that administration after administration was either unwilling to address or actively helped to make worse. The solutions to these problems will be painful in the short-term and in some cases -very much so-. I voted for him knowing this will occur.

how long before things get better? I'd say a year, maybe more. I feel like they made sure to go over the timetables so the pain is gone by midterms, hence why the first month has been nonstop changes and it (and this thread) has slowed a lot. We're also coming up on the 100 day mark without any major victories so one of these major bills needs to get passed

Problem is that they're using a sledgehammer on every part of the federal government, like going after the VA and NPS. These are departments that are already strained and are wanted by all parties.

My nigga in Christ, It's literally not even day 50 yet. We're less than halfway to day 100.

I hope that Trump pardons Edward Snowden

I feel like they made sure to go over the timetables so the pain is gone by midterms

Unfortunately optimistic. They don't really control the important part of the timetables. Assuming the tariffs lead to the hoped for results, the progression is something like;

[Tariffs](You Are Here) => [Business loses customers or profits due to higher costs] => [Business starts to build local supply chains to avoid tariffs and reduce costs] => [Local supply chains employ Americans and drive wage competition] => [More employed Americans, all employed Americans better off]

Unfortunately, that middle ground is entirely in the hands of business, and entirely dependent on their actions to get to the better off part. For some, it may only be a matter of months to move local, others may take years, or even longer. Its really circumstantial, and that middle ground will hurt the entire way.

Worth it in the long run though. Shit was gonna get worse either way, I'd rather it get worse to set the stage for a better period, than to get worse to pad NGO pockets.

That’s ultimately their problem. They’re running against a Dem who is actually likeable
