A mix of trolls trying to shit up the thread on purpose, people with TDS, and some regulars still pissed at Trump because of the Epstein files.
People who thought those files weren't shredded way before he got into office are autistic. Pam bondi is just dumb and so are the internet grifters for not double checking things

Sounds about right. Honestly, at this point, I don't really give much of a shit about the Epstein files. Anyone with any sense knows that a good majority of that shit has long since been destroyed. I just wish Pam would stop making a public spectacle of herself over it and actually... you know.. do her fucking job. None of these people are going to face any kinds of real actual justice. Fuck's sake, we already know most of Hollywood and half of Congress was on that list at some point. This entire Epstein thing is a distraction, and it's working (frighteningly enough).
 
What a retarded position from a politician yet. He basically invalidated his argument of colleges being safe by making it about ethnicity. Shouldn't ALL students feel safe while attending school? I know Democrats love to play the race card, but Republicans love playing victims for Jewish people as well. If anything, this will make them a bigger target.
It’s also insulting to Jews bc it presupposes them as “victim” by default. They’re offered no agency and there’s no consideration that a bad Jew actor might try to provoke a shit-covered raghead 60 IQ rapebeast and incite him into doing what he does best for an automatic deportation

At least some people have some white binders.
 
Big cities can have a big influence.

The only reason I did not end up being a libtard was the father of a woman I dated. He built technology I guarantee most of you use or have used.

He red pilled me but not through some political speech shit.

Just a conversation and during that conversation I said something I did not believe and he caught it. He caught it and called me on it.

It was a surreal moment and it broke through years of NYC people shit seeping in. Dude saved me.

The rest of that conversation was like an inoculation.

Edit: Sorry I forgot to put the point in:
I was always politically neutral but because of my job and because I was surrounded by liberals all the time and NY1 all the time and just submerged in it...it almost got me. Most people never meet that guy. They just sink into the shit.
I met that guy too, except mine was Jesus.

Can someone give me the rundown on the whole "Trump's siding with Putin" rhetoric?

Is it really only because he's looking to compromise and end the Ukraine war? And maybe for calling Zelinsky a dictator that one time? (Stupid but whatever) What other evidence is there?

Because to my knowledge, sanctions on Russia are still active. Trump's not making any sort of deals or agreements with them when he could stand to gain a whole lot from doing so.

If there's something more to it, I want to know. I want a real nonpartisan assessment of the situation. But there's been too much "Boy who cried Wolf" over Trump and Russia the past decade that it's hard to get a real feel of the situation.
We went from an (illegitimate) administration that had the view and official policy of "no negotiation, unconditional surrender is all we'll listen to or accept" to an administration that campaigned (and won) on "we want to negotiate peace."

The difference between the two is that if you want peace you have to talk to both sides of a conflict, whereas unconditional surrender is only one side dictating all terms. The whiplash between those two completely opposite positions, coupled with TDS, is how you get "Drumpf is Putin's cockholster."
 
As for being new, two of the people telling me to lurk moar have a join date less than a year old. That they have aped onto forum culture within A&N to impress strangers on the internet so quickly is interesting to me. Maybe I have cause to accuse quite a few people in this thread of being lolcows. Just a thought.
Lurk moar and stop complaining Account creation doesnt equal time spent on this forum.

To which I say should be fucking obvious. Also Trump is the greatest, and I hear Alberta is jumping the gun to be the 51st state for real good for them!
 
When he first released the info, he said they aren't marked as dead. That's accurate, and if Trump or Twittards said all those people are getting benefits, that's a false extrapolation (probably). However that data still needs cleaning up. It could be used for everything from identity theft to illegal immigrants lying to employer verification systems.
This is what Elon said he thinks is happening. He said they are not all getting social security benefits (though iirc he mentioned some are) but that the SSNs are being used to get other benefits as a "bankshot".
So it is still problematic they're not marked dead because it means people can still use them, even if they aren't necessarily using them for social security specifically.
 
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.
When you have 99 bad apples and 1 good one, the easiest way to fix the situation is to dump the entire crate and pick the good one back up after
