This is the most retarded attempt at a pepe in a good while. Green jobs are gay jobs.

So why aren’t they doing any of that stuff in the countries and states they control? By this logic housing should be cheaper in California and Ontario than say Texas and Arkansas.

I have identified the reporter who hit President @realDonaldTrump in the face with a boom mic this week while he was speaking to the press on the tarmac. Her name is Danielle Kurtzleben @titonka. She is the newly appointed White House reporter for @NPR and a massive Trump hater and LGBTQ advocate who once suggested during the 2024 campaign that Trump only spoke in Howell, Michigan because it has ties to the KKK. Did she hit President Trump in the face on purpose?

She has previously accused Trump of being pro KKK, and compared his speeches to those of Hitler.

While she was reporting on the only presidential debate between President Trump and @KamalaHarris in 2024, Danielle wrote, “The Vice presidential debate is especially significant because there was only one presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Harris, NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben says. Walz will defend Harris' record. The vice president has only been the candidate for around two months. Meanwhile, Vance might attempt to make up for Trump's widely acknowledged loss to Harris in the presidential debate.” She said Trump “lost” to Kamala in the debate.

Since becoming the new @NPR White House reporter, Danielle Kurtzleben has been very focused on reaching out to trans, nonbinary, and intersex federal workers who have been negatively impacted by the Trump admin Executive Orders.

honestly if you look at what people are doing with the ECU in cars the last decade or so i'm sure if you look hard enough someone or some group has come out of a way to remove a lot of the features in these cars people are afraid of, basically making an "unchromium" version of the cars.

I've people do this for 2014 Civics where they take out the infotainment systems and the interior panels just to get a slightly better time on the track. Very cool it was but rather time-consuming to get it all disabled.

But the sad reality here is that most people, so John and Jane Normal, don't want to put up with getting these conveniences taken away for the better of the economy. Make them keep getting these newer, "greener" models every few years that become more and more difficult to fully remove the junk for the ECU and ABS only. They'll just gladly accept it and make these touchscreen removals kinda for naught at the end of the day.

It'll remain as personal projects for those willing to put the time in, as no normal would care enough to do so on their own volition. And since there's no small organization I'm aware of who wants the legislature to limit or ban touchscreens in cars yet, this will remain unchallenged until someone puts their foot down on the federal laws mandating that the screens stay on the dashboard.

Trump is one thing but I’m getting real sick of constantly seeing/hearing Elon’s retarded ass. Billionaire or not, he fits the definition of “lolcow” to a T.

I hear this complaint a lot. I don't see or hear from Elon at all. I see Trump giving daily pressers. I hear from the DOJ and FBI heads. I watch congressmen and senators giving speeches.

The problem isn't Elon, it's you. You are watching things and then getting upset that you're watching them. Change the channel.

It actually is, we’re just not hearing about it (yet). Notice the huge pause in the original video.

I'm always shocked at just how sharp a grasp on internet and meme culture Trump has for an 81 year old man. Baron or someone else has to be advising him.

I think it's just that Trump isn't really part of the socialite/aristocrat families of America. He's not a Kennedy, Roosevelt, or Aster. He's the equivalent of some of the families that made their fortune running stuff like HVAC or Plumbing companies. He's as much as I hate to give that schizo Whatifalthist any credit very much like the Gracchi brothers. Someone who is rich but fucking hates how up their own ass the rich are.

Funnily enough the opposite of Hitler. Hitler was raised in a middle class family then went to Vienna and realized he hated the average German but came to the conclusion that it was the Jews that made the poor into what they were.

And a federal judge has more executive power than the president; he can order criminal gangs back into the country because… he says so?

The president is using his authority granted through the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport foreigners. However, the Alien Enemies Act states that it can only be used when the United States has declared war against a foreign nation or government, or when the United States has been invaded by a foreign nation or government.

Problem is that Tren de Aragua is not a nation or government. Trump tries to justify TdA being a government by suggesting that the Venezuelan government has ties with a different drug cartel which coordinates with Tren de Aragua to flood the US with drugs. All that somehow means that Venezuela is ordering TdA to invade the US, so it is legal to arrest all TdA members in the US and deport them.

His justification does not make any fucking sense. Tren de Aragua is not acting on behalf of Nicholas Maduro to destabilize the US. They are here, abusing loopholes in the immigration system, to sell drugs and engage in criminal behavior.

Therefore, Trump has no way to use the power of the Alien Enemies Act to deport these criminals. There could be another way, perhaps by Congress passing a law that allows him to extradite known members of foreign criminal organizations. He could order the Department of Justice to prioritize the conviction of illegal aliens, provide state and local officials more resources to speed up prosecutions.

There’s a lot that he could do with his power as the Executive, but the power invested in him through Alien Enemies Act is not one of them in this situation.
