My dad gets his information from MSM. He 100% thinks CNN, The Washington Post, and NPR are the least biased sources out there.

I would just cut my losses. Your dad just sounds like a perfect mark. A man so stubborn he will use everything to defend being conned.

what is this? An image for ants!?!?!

Or any kiwis who are using a CGA graphics card maybe?

Invoking the Alien Enemies Act, and in defiance of a district court injunction, 17 more members or MS-13 and Tren De Aragua have been deported to El Salvador for confinement in the CECOT.

Why were violent gangs let into the USA in the first place?

 

[AnotherPleb]

they have been trained not to. Companies only plan for the quarter, countries only plan until the next election. a decade long project would be forgotten, a hundred year project is unfathomable.

You have to wonder who benefits from companies and countries devolving into nigger planning.

Gonna be tough to get their bills signed if they don't back him on this one. But yeah, I expect foot dragging all around. There seems to be an eagerness to kick the can down the road rather than actually lock horns and "settle" this nonsense directly. Makes sense they'd want Trump to stop "threatening" courts. If he cranks up the rhetoric they might actually have to deal with it sooner rather than later.

They desperately want to go back to losing with dignity and gaining tens of millions in the process.

AFAIK the Supreme Court actually did block OSHA's vaccine workplace mandate.

Ah yes, the classic "this normal concept on social media is so absurd when I put it in a totally different context, don't you feel silly and aren't I truly relatable?" At best its written by a weak faggot who gets upset when someone asks them to explain themselves, then cries that their social media gets dogpiled, at which point they no longer want infinite updoots and views, and instead want it to be private. "I'm just a silly little guy, tweeting from my bed!!! Leave me alone!!!!" he says, tweeting into the internet, onto a site meant to amplify what he's saying, which is easily searched by keywords and traced back to him

Thank you for this breaking news... BussySmeller2...

I understand where you're coming from, I had to explain what I said above to my parents. They didn't get it either, but now they do.

I've had good luck with the "danger to our democracy" video where all the MSM talking heads are reciting the same speech. It's an eye opener.

I hate this. Half the replies on any popular tweet are idiots asking AIs to explain the post. Most of the time the AI is either wrong or adds nothing more than what the original tweet said.

Using AI is unironically a sign that you're retarded.

Alternately, if a person is too lazy to open a browser, type in some search terms, and read the AI summary at the top of the search results page, let alone click a few links to see if they understand the subject correctly before opining on every subject, they're probably too much of a lazy nigger to be worth talking to.

And to think my libtard friend has been bitching that if the Democrats retake power, they should 'stop playing nice' and 'revoke Melania's citizenship' and deport Trump and family to El Salvador, because 'Trump set a dangerous precedent of ignoring the courts and deporting people without due process."

Nigga, you must be living in a completely different reality from the rest of us if you had conveniently forgot what happened in the Biden administration.

In case anyone is interested *the book* covering the 2024 election is out today - just downloaded mine on Audible and will report back if anyone interested. It’s likely as leftist as fuck but I did enjoy the one they did on Hillary and hope this one is even half as satisfying (it’s 4hrs shorter).

It is at least a handy retard barometer. You should always be wary of who trusts what is basically a patchwork glorified chatbot, a digital midwit that openly lies to you because making shit up that smooth brained investors can be fooled by gets you more contracts than having the thing honestly answer and give a "I don't know/I don't have enough data on that subject" response when it's got nothing.

Add to that, the super majority of them are coded and trained by a revolving door mix of true believer tech bro dorks who thought VR crypto casinos were the future, dyed in the wool bugmen reddit admins and wiki jannies, troons named lilith/loona who learned to code over a particularly grueling two day weekend and a gaggle of the finest lowest bidder saars money can buy.

"AI document summary" too should be looked at disdainfully, as it's overly trusting the worst people backed by the dumbest empty suits to tell you second and third hand information passed through a series of no no word and concept filters that you could have read your own goddamn self instead of getting regurgitated and pre-censored and mangled in the form of a bite sized bedtime story.

It's time you just sit your dad down and tell him something along the lines of the following: "FUCK YOU, DAD! I'm sorry, but this is something everyone goes through. It'll happen to me too someday. Things just change."

I understand where you're coming from, I had to explain what I said above to my parents. They didn't get it either, but now they do.

lol

The most amusing timeline: TDS causes them to overplay their hand and "Judicial Review" (which is unconstitutional bullshit) gets removed as a concept in American politics. No more running to the courts to undo the thing that just happened, Mr. Greer. Er, I mean, Democrats.

I'm not happy with all the activist judicial lawfare against Trump, and I'm worried about the SC cucking. But anyone who is so hot on the idea of Judicial Review going away might want to consider if it does, 2A will be gone too.

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

If I said anything close to that, my dad would definitely end up yelling at me and my family would hate me lol

Well, unfortunately you're going to have to. It doesn't matter if anything I said are your personal beliefs, it's just reality. It's going to happen to all of us. Especially in this world where technology is rapidly evolving and changing. The day will come where every single one of us can't keep up with the younger generations. The same way we mocked boomers for not being able to open PDF files, Gen Delta or whatever will soon mock us for not being able to setup a home cleaning robot. It's just how things happen. We'll all become old and out of touch and stop understanding the world. It's an inevitable part of aging and you just can't fight it.

I was trying to find if there was instances of Alfred E Newmann making cameos in the DC universe and google's ai tried to tell me about "The Greenest Lantern" allegedly a story about Alfred being given a ring.
As far as I can tell this not only doesn't exist as a comic, it doesn't exist as a fanfic or anything else.
Still it's a pretty good title for a joke story about a schmuck getting a GL ring, so I gotta give credit for that.

Deploy them to Ukraine. Is the judge gonna block sending troops to Ukraine?!

 

[nigel p poppycock]

Maybe, but I don't want to give up... he's my dad. And I have always considered him to be one of the smartest people I know, especially when it comes to money (His job is finance). It sucks to see this fear and anxiety in him. There must be something that can convince him it will be okay.

You shouldn't give up, but it will be an uphill battle because the TDS has got him. I'm guessing there's reason why he won't look at any alternative news sources: despite his fretting and worrying (and probably ranting), he's getting enjoyment/satisfaction from the validation of his hatred for Trump. That's what this is really about, and there are many such cases. I have a family member who's the same way and it's frustrating. It's not just that they believe the media lies it's that they refuse to entertain an uttered syllable of an alternate position.

You've got a few options--you can continue to try to convince him to at least read something that's not Trump bashing but that probably won't work. You can ignore the worrying and continue to redirect him even thought he's not open to anything other than doomscrolling. You can put up some boundaries--tell him you're not going to engage in politics with him and stick with it. You can use the Socratic method mentioned above and ask him why he thinks the way he does, what are some ways he can mitigate the disaster he believes is coming, why he'd rather sit on his phone instead of living in the real world, etc. Or you can listen in silence to him rant.

I would also add praying for him, too. Even though he's getting something from being in a high state of anxiety, he's also riding high on the constantly fed belief that Trump is a nazi/destroying our country/satan incarnate, etc. It's a vicious cycle and in some ways not his fault because it's psychological warfare. But at the end of the day he's choosing to perpetuate the cycle, and you can't force someone to do something.

You're being a good kid, caring this much about your father. Take some comfort in that.

Guy has his holster still on the pistol, looks like a Glock though. That's obviously agg assault with a deadly weapon. Ultra agg.

That dumb nigger is playing with fire in Texas, if you point a weapon at someone, they can respond back, and yes, it counts even if its still in the holster.
