just saw this today, is Scott Bessent retarded? just standard ivory tower hubris? https://www.yahoo.com/news/u-treasury-secretary-access-cheap-210653024.html

He’s right if you see the whole thing and not just the liberal cut 2 second bit.

It was brought up pages back but because cost of living is broken you’re resorted to cheap, broken Chyna crap just to make ends meet. the American Dream is having affordable goods, and able to afford them on a reasonable wage hopefully with one paycheck. Affordable implies quality just at a reasonable price.

You can buy a cheap new car, but that doesn’t mean you want the shitty Mitsubishi. Yet that is basically what you are only able to get these days and are being told this is good, so what if it’s going to break in 30k miles, be grateful, now we’re going to give your money to illegals who won’t complain about drunk driving these Mitsubishis right into your family car.

Isn't it nice this administration is not making a big deal out of International Women's Day?

Does anyone make a big deal out of International Women's Day? It's kind of an obsolete holiday at this point if you ask me.

Unlike the left, Trump doesn't need to superficially prove that he supports women.

"Best we can do is let men beat the shit out of you in sports, let you kill your own babies, and gaslight you about how supportive that is to women." - leftists

Well yeah, and those whites who have a militarised racialist utopia somewhere over there and refuse to leave because that lets the niggers win. I meant the whites who have the means to actually leave, if they wanted to, poors and militias excluded.

SA libtards are a different breed. Worse than the Lutherans in Minnesota that welcomed the bulbheads. The amount they can overlook to have le rainbow nation is baffling. I knew one with the traits of the veganteacher lady with the “my black friends” who barely knew her, and who tried to make an argument that the EFF was just a role reversal of what we had done years before. Maybe people like this should experience consequence for their action

Don't know mean "International Troons Da"?

I don't understand why any white person in South Africa wants to remain there

They can't afford to leave, and white looking people can't claim asylum.

The Revolutionary Army was nearly defeated, but Washington managed to move his troops away thanks to a lack of wind to propel British boats and a fog that appeared in the morning. You can read a little about it here.

so basically a kamikaze?

Does not wanting to start a pointless war in the middle east over Israel and Palestine trying to murder each other make someone a pedophile?

well, calling everybody nazis isn't working, might as well try something different

 

[HodgePodgeRogerDodger]

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.

I think he knows his limitations. He basically got put into the corner during the first term and his siblings got to be “chief advisors”. I think @Gehenna knows more gossip about it.

Why the fuck is the Agriculture department funding this? I could understand the health department, but I feel like this whole bullshit is just friends getting friends money.

SA truly is a fascinating study on how those who were oppressed before, the second they got power became the oppressors. Hell I'd argue that SA now is more racist than it was during the appetheid, too think all those years of protest and demonad equality onto to finally get it and then use it for revenge. Its also funny to me that SA believed that they have some moral high ground over Israel( again don't like fucknthem) when they also do the same bullshit.

South Africa’s two letter country code is ZA. SA is Saudi Arabia.

So are we going to go through a constant loop of announce tariffs then delay for the next 4 years? Grow some fucking balls and just do it.

ActBlue has survived dozens of scandals including being the main fundraising arm of the BLM riots. If that didn't ruin them, I don't know what will. Half their "donors" are just people that donated a few dollars at one point in time and are now having their information stolen and used to launder money to the DNC.

I dunno for once I'm going to be optimistic.

Never before has the DNC slush machine faced not just a hostile DoJ but a hostile PotUS and hostile public.

Before the usual quid pro quo would be in force, don't investigate us and we won't investigate you, but now Trump is in and he's not your standard politician. He's not only interested in draining the swap (of which ActBlue is a huge part) but of getting payback for all the shit he went through due to the DNC machine using him as fodder for their propaganda machine.

We also now have a AG who will prosecute current and former pols if she can, quid pro quo be damn and a public that is thirsting for more exposure of government corruption and exposing Democratic malfeasance is a good look for GoP up and comers trying to make a name for themselves for 2026 and 2028.

All in all this is a very dangerous time to be a swamp creature. If the high honchos of Act Blue felt safe then they wouldn't be resigning en mass and fleeing to the darkest corners the of bluest states they can find.

I smell...desperation and panic in the air.

And victory.

Whenever BLM or racial demographic change (NOT REPLACEMENT CHUD!!) and white peoples consistent uncomfortableness with it is brought to the Left's attention, they always trout out "Oh do we treat minorities bad or something?" Or "They think we will treat them as bad as they treated us". Even as a leftoid who believed in the holy doctrine of the equality of the races I was like "jeez I didn't think you would before but now I do"

Why the fuck is the Agriculture department funding this?

Short answer? Because they had sufficient funds left over in their budget. Long answer? Government/deep state/bureaucrats believe all our bases belong to them - what difference does it make to them, or to us, if they disperse funds from their checking account, or their savings account, or a credit card, or etc.? Fiat money is the ultimate in fungible.

Well, I do kind of see the relation to agriculture here.

In theory this information could have been useful to harvest more milk from troon lolcows. Other than that, however...

I saw this from the TDS server and forgot to share it.

 

[indomitable snowman]

Iirc some of the novels mention that only the core areas of the Federation are a cashless utopia because setting up a planetary energy grid capable of supporting billions of replicators is beyond the means of a lot of colonies.

Tasha's colony was full of "Rape Gangs"

Optimistic that this will blow up too..

Weren't they grifting off of the LA fires too? People sharing actblue donate links that probably sent 1% to the response
And James O'Keefe found people donating 100s of times for small amounts that they had no knowledge of.

I dropped back onto reddit after not checking it for a bit and i'm laughing my balls off at these fucking goons.

They no longer want the war in Ukraine to end and now Israel are the bad guys despite them having no problem with them "defending themselves against Hamas" a few weeks ago. All because of how Trump is handling these conflicts. Such spineless fucks.

Also, the sub for the EU country i'm in has a big thread on alternatives to US products as part of a boycott campaign. I've noticed numerous examples they've given that have US parent companies or are just re-skins/re-uses of US technology.

For instance, the new search engine to use instead of Google is apparently Ecosia. Never heard of Ecosia?

Well:
"Ecosia delivers a combination of search results from Yahoo!, Google,[5] Bing and Wikipedia.[4]. Advertisements are delivered by Yahoo! and Microsoft Advertising as part of a revenue sharing agreement with the company.[6]."

They have their own browser as well and it's based on Chromium (Googles software). Also, they are partnered with a little upstart outfit called "Microsoft" for some of their hardware needs.

Watching the left try to get out from under the systems that they spent so long cheerleading is hilarious. Maybe instead of mocking Backwoods Billy Bob all those years you could have learn a bit of self-sufficiency from him so you didn't have to rely on mega-corps for everything when your personal version of the shit hitting the fan happens.

oh those emails were real? i should've sent some thank you letters

Trump needs to grow some real balls and demand other countries pay subscription fees to GPS, or shut it down. Maybe just turn it off for an hour to let them know who they are fucking with.
