Do tell us what the top secret planning sessions you've seen have been like.

None.

They never push drag shows in nonwhite communities.

That's because niggers are already gay.

I think it's fucked up that America is dictating to the lower class what they can and cannot put in their bodies. This is no different from when they were enforcing the vaccine on everyone, where are the truckers out protesting this appalling overreach of authority? Let's get out there and call on Congress to Dew it Right™

I love to protest in favor of Democracy™ even in the summer sun, because I know I can always crack open a cold, refreshing Coca-Cola™ to beat the heat. And don't forget, McDonald's™ has your back. Order the 2 for $5 Democracy™ Meal and get a streaming code for the new Kendrick Lamar© single. I love America!

Considering how much literal verifiable backstabbing happens to Trump convince me that someone didn't do it on purpose.
Hell just last month the fbi was leaking ice raid plans to gangs

Could have been worse. Could have gotten a text back "New phone. Who dis?"
Backstabbing is on brand with this style of politics.

Greenlanders! You can’t wait to be ruled by retarded kleptocrats and repopulated with pajeets, yes?

 

[Not Really Here]

None.

Is Larry Corriea right? Are we all just two literal trolls with Internet access, and are responsible for 98% of the shitposting online?

 

[GettrGriftr]

Never thought I'd say this about a journalist, but good on them for acting responsibly and not leaking the plans.

Now wondering if at least  a goal of all this was seeing whether Goldberg would disclose anything "secret" (but not really secret). If he did, the DoJ could use that to prosecute an enemy journalist.

unlikely but goddamn that would be funny.

 

[UnidentifiedFlyingOrchid]

The goal of the leak was to put JD Vance in his place for daring to backtalk his superiors (Israel). Shitting on Europe is acceptable because techbro oligarchs are mad at Europe for suing their companies, and Israel likes Europeans being crippled.

Or to test to see what the reaction is to something like that happening.

Remember, there's a lot of people with pardons we don't quite understand that the Trump Admin is looking to overturn.

Hell, this whole thing is a shitshow because from 2020 on is a fucking black box.

Be interesting to see.

Maybe I'll spend a few days playing FO4 and wait for fun news to drop.

When we get to the fourth iteration of this thread can it be named US Politics General 4Ever?

The subtitle should be something about free cooking tips. Shit, Ron Paul and Ace of Spades sell cookbooks so there must be some interplay between politics and home cooking.

Make it happen @Francis York Morgan.

That's right, lets go patriots and freedom lovers! We even put together this promo for you fighting the good fight.

United States Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: "Nobody was texting war plans & that's all I have to say about that."

I think Trump doesn't want to actually buy that shithole, but he bullshitted about it and now has to put his money where his mouth is. The easiest way to fix this is to send the least appealing organism on the planet (indian, woman) and ask Greenlanders "Don't you want to be ruled by this?" They vote No, you keep your money.

I think it's bad that official state and military actions are accidentally being texted to journalists.

"Accidentally"

 

[holyhandgrenade]

I think it's bad that official state and military actions are accidentally being texted to journalists.

I think it's bad that military and state actions aren't being intentionally shared with e thots. That way I at least don't have to listen to journoscum screech.

We must seize the lugenforume for the shitposters!!

Suffer (more)!

In your suggested example, they literally are an enemy. The State should not permit children mutilations. Anyone who advocates that the State has no role in this is an enemy, for they are advocating for the destruction of your civilization.

The state should not, but the state should not bar people from saying that they're in favor of the state permitting child mutilations. The problem with your reasoning is that anyone could apply it to whatever they perceive as immoral or displeasing. A far-left person would likely state that "the state should not permit racist speech." Meanwhile I believe it's my inalienable right to call someone a nigger and I believe that advocating for the right of all men (including eurocucks though they stretch the definition of the word as much as the average pooner) to be free to do the same as well as advocating for the position that if more people were told to quit acting like niggers there would be far less of the behavior in the first place.

I don't believe that banning any kind of speech actually does anything to change people's minds. All it does is force it underground where it might fester and lead to reinforced beliefs. I believe that the most effective cure is rigorous public debate (more free speech) which forces people to confront ideas contrary to their own. It is our moral duty to tell people who want a kids drag show that they're exposing their children to molesters and rapists and that when their kid gets sexually assaulted we're going to suggest that the government charge them as an accessory to the crime for enabling it.

I forget who said it, but defending free speech does mean having to defend some of the most stupid, vile, or outright evil ideas and the people who espouse them. Of course no one can agree on just what those ideas are. I'm sure that we're both on someone's list of those people just for posting here.

I have gone from "small goverment" to "goverment that supports my ideas" and I have stopped giving a shit about attempting to be neutral and above it. My moral opposites certainly don't care and I'm only weakening my position.

I think that this is what most people tend to believe or act out in reality even if they're not as honest as you are to admit it. The problem is that if you create a government that enables this you will create a strong incentive for your enemies to seize control of the government and use the very laws you enacted to persecute you. Your system is great as long as your side is in power, but we've already seen what happens when they aren't. Almost all governments are too powerful and that attracts the worst sort of people to them. I want the government as weak as possible when it comes to infringing on individual liberties, even if that means allowing people to make some terrible choices.

Ultimately the problem with libertarianism is that you'll never convince a majority of the population to vote for or follow those principles. You have to accept that fact that at least 5% of the population would be incapable of surviving without a government teat and that unless they receive personal charity they will effectively die on the streets. There's also another 15% of the population that's mentally incapable of understanding these principles at all and will think free speech is good up until they disagree with it and are incapable of understanding that other people could similarly apply that logic to their own speech. Some people are incapable of the personal responsibility required to live in a society that affords them immense personal freedom. The problem is that the argument can always be made to curtail those freedoms just a bit more in order to "help" those poor people.
