Some truths are going to be real the way the judiciary worldwide are making their moves. I'd rather have 30 years of Vance rule than something fake and gay resembling muh democracy:

And this is why America is the greatest country on Earth. TPTB tried to tarnish Trump by digging for the slightest hint of a financial crime and charging him in a rigged court case. 34 felonies later he is still able to run because the constitution didn't say anything about felons and Trump was able to win the presidency because the people actually like the guy. TPTB try again in France and now Le Pen is going to jail and her political career is officially over because their legal and political system is beyond fucked.

The Founding Fathers were true visionaries with their writing of the constitution and during Trump's reign we can restore that vision.
 
While you aren't wrong, as a result of the Government's failure to perform under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) of 1982 as amended, while that office may exist in the Department of Energy under the Office of Nuclear Energy, there really isn't any work that can be done. The NWPA specifically requires a geologic repository at the site known as Yucca Mountain in order for any meaningful consolidation or transportation of spent nuclear fuel on its way to ultimate disposal. Absent a legislative change, the position is functionally devoid of any authority, decision making or otherwise.

P.S.: the guy is a total faggot.

The French system still works on the assumption of guilt. The accused must prove their innocence.

The ease with which innocent men were railroaded in that kind of system was the main reason why the American system was based on the assumption of innocence. It is far harder to prove someone guilty on a false charge than to prove yourself innocent beyond doubt.

So Biden appointed a DEI queer to an obscure position that has no function or responsibilities and the guy still manages to fuck up so badly that the Biden admin had no choice but remove him? It is actually pretty impressive.
 
Boomers still believe in the infallibility and credibility of institutions like media, academia, legal system. Basically if the television hates Trump that must mean he's bad.

the boomers that raised me believed that the feds had infilitrated everything and would sell you to promote their own career and nothing on the TV was true

this is probably why I'm a relatively chill person, it's nice knowing that the people who raised you were basically right about everything

Bit of a tangent but it blows my mind that the USA went to all the expense of building a nice safe secure nuclear waste storage facility in the middle of nowhere, somewhere that huge quantities of the stuff could be reliably stashed away for the long term. And then people who don't understand nuclear energy at all managed to prevent it being used.

It reminds me when I was approached by a Friends of the Earth fundraiser in the street one time and when he challenged my pro-nuclear stance with "but what do you do with the waste?" his face when I said "bury it" was sheer disbelief. I might as well have said "feed it to kids" the horror on his face.
 
I think we can all agree that executing the CEO of MasterCard/Visa should have been Trump's day one priority, like walking straight out into the crowd after the oath with a 45 and shooting at them kind of urgent.
It doesn't directly affect him, so he sees no need for drastic action, nor can he sympathize with people who are affected by the Credit Card monopoly and its grip on all American life.
 
I have Nulls answer on why this thread is so popular. Clearly it's unemployed alcoholics answering bait at 2am on a Monday.
A Kiwi thread just works for discussing political content. All I need to get an idea of what's being discussed in the news is to click through the highlights since the last time I logged on and skim the remaining posts.

Throw in a some quality glownigger doom posting and decent joke posts and you end up with a never ending infotainment news letter.

Never let a good crisis go to waste. Harry Reid didn't, and look at the Senate career he made.

I love telling people that if the NRC regulated coal plants the way they do nuclear plants, they would have all been shutdown yesterday.

 
Didn't a bunch of Trump's family have to deal with debanking issues or was that way overblown or never actually materialized?
I think Deutsche bank refused to do service with Trump after Jan 6, but that's as much as I remember. Point is, they have many alternatives, and people practically throwing themselves at his feet to do business. That is not the case with people seriously affected by Mastercard's grip like Null.

This is a golden opportunity to brain drain every remaining person with an IQ over 100 into the United States. Then we can simply wait until the remainders starve to death without anyone to fund the gibs. After allowing France to return to nature for 200 years or so the smell may finally disapate allowing normal human beings to return.

Its insane that we are only 3 months in. There is still 7 years 9 months of Trump before we even get into the Vance and Barron presidencies.
