In the vein of that reporter who tried to make up some Trump-Musk-Rubio beef, Mediaite ran some fake news about DJT Jr. wanting to run in 2028 and inevitably clashing with Vance earlier today. (Archive) DJT Jr. proceeded to call them fucking retards & point out that he personally busted his ass to get his old man to pick Vance for VP in the first place, and Mediaite decided to directly add his buckbreaking statement to their article.

I think Don Jr, if he still wants to continue being involved in politics after his dad leaves office is to act more as a gatekeeper, doner and election strategist.

He's never shown any desire to be in office.

Navarro suggests that you can interpret it in such a way that the US gains territory. This is apparently the "maximalist" interpretation of the treaty:

That includes Indian colony of Brampton and London which is the home of Keffals.
No thank you. I saw we take alberta, NW territories, and Yukon and call it a day.

a study from a few years back said on average women outweigh men now. the fattest people in my family are all women.

Birth control causes weight gain.
It's in the water at this point and I hope RFK looks into it eventually.

It's amazing how stupid Act Man is

Christ what a faggot, and no Canada is at best Yamaha. Also once again a faggot who doesn’t care about the reasons behind the tariffs and only cares that its mean and hurts peoples feelings because Trump is a big old meanie orange man. Fuck him, send his bitch ass to Canada if he cares so much.

It's a bit odd how the whole Abolish ICE movement seems to have evaporated. Remember how it was almost a constant thing about 6-8 years ago? Where did all of those people go? Can it really be as simple as the USAID funds were funding them the whole time? Even when the recent protests against immigration raids were going on, there was no one but actual Mexicans and South Americans on the streets.

Unironically, I think the mix between USAID funds and the fact that Trump has largely quelled the border crossing in just 1-2 months has contributed to the movement dying. That's not even accounting for how demoralized Democrats are right now. You'd be surprised how many people would do anything for just a bit of cash.

More TSA agents "work" on "union duties" than screen passengers:

DHS Ends Collective Bargaining for TSA’s Transportation Security Officers, Enhancing Safety, Efficiency, and Organizational Agility​

Release Date: March 7, 2025

WASHINGTON – Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it is ending collective bargaining for the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) Transportation Security Officers, which has constrained TSA’s chief mission: to safeguard our transportation systems and keep Americans safe.

Eliminating collective bargaining removes bureaucratic hurdles that will strengthen workforce agility enhance productivity and resiliency, while also jumpstarting innovation.

Making America’s Transportation Networks Resilient Again​

Gaps in benefit programs, including non-verifiable Family and Medical Leave, are being exploited by a select few poor performers, placing greater burden on TSOs at the expense of American travelers and taxpayers.

This includes instances, where a TSO requested sick leave seven months in advance.

TSA has more people doing full-time union work than we have performing screening functions at 86% of our airports. Of the 432 federalized airports, 374 airports have fewer than 200 TSA Officers to preform screening functions.

Nearly 200 TSA Officers are paid by the government but work full-time on union matters. These people do not retain certification to perform screening functions. Additionally, in a recent TSA employee survey, over 60% said poor performers are allowed to stay employed and, not surprisingly, continue to not perform.

Fighting for TSA Workers​

The Transportation Security officers are losing their hard-earned dollars to a union that did not represent or protect their interests. The union has hindered merit-based performance recognition and advancement—that's not the American way.

By eliminating the collective bargaining agreement, Transportation Security Officers will now have opportunities based on their performance, not longevity or union membership.

A statement from a DHS Spokesperson is below:​

“Thanks to Secretary Noem’s action, Transportation Security Officers will no longer lose their hard-earned dollars to a union that does not represent them. The Trump Administration is committed returning to merit-based hiring and firing policies.

“This action will ensure Americans will have a more effective and modernized workforces across the nation’s transportation networks. TSA is renewing its commitment to providing a quick and secure travel process for Americans.”

Here's some fresh cope, the mice weren't transgender because they have no concept of gender.

This is your daily reminder that there is such thing as gender. It's literally made up so they can claim there's no connection between sex roles and biological sex, because they NEED the biological sexes to be completely interchangeable, because they believe in tabula rasa theory (as it's a core part of liberalism due to Locke teaching it) and it was discredited centuries ago.

So when they try the motte and bailey bullshit ("akshually this time we mean sex not gender checkmate chud") you can just laugh in their face. There is no such thing as gender, and I'm not paying billions in grant money so you can try to turn rats transsexual.

That's not even accounting for how demoralized Democrats are right now. You'd be surprised how many people would do anything for just a bit of cash.

Also, the Dem's usual donors are being pretty stingy with the purse. Aside from watching their investment go up in flames with Kamala, the Dem money men have two big reason to be careful with investing right now.

• The Dems are having a civil war on where to take the party, so it is better to wait to see what the new plan is.
• Trump has more than hinted he wants to look into the shady finances of some political rivals.

So it is better to wait and see where things settle for Trump and the Dems.

Replace mexicans with jeets and you have a rough idea.

...what's the jeet equivalent of tequila? Does it taste good?

...what's the jeet equivalent of tequila? Does it taste good?

I can't confirm, but based on what I know I would take a guess that it's fermented cow shit. It came to me in a dream!

 

[Ibanez RG 350EX]

they NEED the biological sexes to be completely interchangeable, because they believe in tabula rasa theory (as it's a core part of liberalism due to Locke teaching it)

I'd say it has much more to do with the desire to mold man's nature to bring about the communist utopia rather than any particular philosophical inheritance from Locke.

 

[Eventide]

I can't confirm, but based on what I know I would take a guess that it's fermented cow shit. It came to me in a dream!

I googled this, and they do in fact drink cow shit

...what's the jeet equivalent of tequila? Does it taste good?

Indians are in every respect worse than Mexicans, and Mexicans are miles above the south American scum we've been getting. there is enough cultural proximity (especially in the southwest) that co-existence with Mexicans is possible if necessary.

I think Don Jr, if he still wants to continue being involved in politics after his dad leaves office is to act more as a gatekeeper, doner and election strategist.

He's never shown any desire to be in office.

He'd probably end up as the head of the CIA or FBI or whatever homeland security agency survives the cull.

America just can't cope with the facts of the modern economy, it's more complex and more things to be taken for granted. China can do this with the fact the CCP is in charge and will never be voted out so you can rely on their pre stated agenda still being the same 5 years from now.

America can cope as private investment with light regulations allows businesses more room to manage themselves and adjust their policies. Plugging up corruption alone is a huge boon. And while there are some good aspects of a centrally controlled bank, the CCP has done a shit job at handling its own economy. It's also massively in debt and that is projected to grow by $10 trillion in just 5 years, can't get BRICS going which is a key part in ensuring China is the dominant player in foreign policy and economic hegemony, large areas of the economy are run by fraudsters, and they are still recovering from economic woes of the pandemic.

In short, if I had to walk through an alley full of Jews or an alley full of Chinese businessmen, I'd pick the jews, since they are less likely to steal my money.
