[oh no its pipkun]

The two programs at issue — the Teacher Quality Partnership and Supporting Effective Educator Development — provide more than $600 million in grants for teacher preparation programs, often in subject areas such as math, science and special education, the states have argued

so theyr're remedial programs for retards?

Joun, an appointee of Democratic President Joe Biden, found that the cancellations probably violated a federal law that requires a clear explanation.

the same reason why daca is still around if memory serves

What’s the point of them if you already have to wash the plate before putting it in just seems faster to wash your dishes by hand.

You don't. There's a prewash in the normal cycle just for that reason

Fucking hell, I don't go into your DNC shill threads and post AI videos of Biden deepthroating Soros because 1.) I don't harbor weird sexual fetishes that I project onto my opposition and 2.) I have the common courtesy to not be so disrespectful as to drag my ass into your echo chamber and shit on the floor because baby needs attention. Fucking grow up.

Imagine going about your day without having sexual fantasies about your opposition. What, you don't make porn of people and post them to own their supporters epic style? Weird, weird!

Different things actually, though it makes you wonder if they do this to take advantage of people’s amygdalae or something. To degrade people so much their supporters can’t stand to think about them.

Or they’re just depraved perverts who knows.

Is it just me or is very odd/hilarious how the pro Luigi types are now rooting for the type of person Luigi killed?

A little column A, but if leftists didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any at all.

That'll happen when you don't have a single original thought in your head and just agree with whatever is popular on r/all this week.

If the anime community has taught me anything, it’s always the latter trying to convince the world that they’re the former

Mother fucker, do you know how expensive it is to leave California? The cost of rent and expenses alone makes having a savings almost impossible.

I would have been out of here a decade ago if I had the money to leave.

Excuses excuses. You think illegals crawl thru razor wire cause they are financially well off? If you really wanted to leave, you would die crawling on all 4 thru the Mojave desert if necessary, but right now your life is still cushy and comfortable, and your laziness is getting the better of you, so you keep making excuses. But when you do finally mugged by a nigger and decide to leave, it's not that hard actually and doesn't really require any additional resources. Like step 1. Make a list of places you want to live at, and do research to confirm that you want to live there. Step 2. Apply for jobs in areas you want to move to, just make sure to tell the employer you can't start immediately, and need time to move. Step 3. When you have secured a job somewhere you want to move to, cancel your rent and quit your current job, wait till you receive your final paycheck and use it for travel and rent in the new place.

In addition. Having family/friends can help immensely, with either securing a job or housing in the new place. California is a squatters paradise and you could probably go without paying rent for a few months to build up additional resources. You can switch to a brokie diet of macaroni, potatoes and noodles (not the fancy, but the 30 cents a pack kind) and drink water, to bring your groceries down to like a hundred a month to help build up additional resources.

During Trump’s first term I went from being a retail wagie to having several corporate jobs. Only leaving one to get a higher paying job elsewhere. During Biden I kept getting laid off from downsizing. Anecdotal, but impactful to me.

Good, then you know how to apply for jobs. Now get to it and make your dreams come true. You are the master of your own destiny and only you can improve your life.

I don't think this was the first time there was cocaine in the White House and you shouldn't either.

^Link to Murder on the Tracks, the story of Don Henry and Kevin Ives (Murdered by the Clintons during Iran-Contra)

We need to go full Marquis de Sade and start organizing famines, not out of an economic sense of population control, but simply because we despise the poor and take sexual pleasure in seeing those who are impoverished and suffering suffer even more.

Cool pull from history, you might like reading up on Gille De Rais as well. Both are equally fucked.

Anyway, my reaction to tariff stockmarket impact:

You’re making a ton of assumptions about my life and my lifestyle. I will not bite into that bait, but your title lack of understanding just how much of a prison California is for all but the most wealthy is extremely tone deaf

1-illegals are given free homes and money by the state of California as well as jobs and resources. And most in California don’t crawl under razor wire, you can just cross the beach in San Diego. All of which is a far cry from trying to start our entirely from scratch in another state.

2-I apply to many jobs in different states, never once has one even bothered to call me back for an interview. Why? Because we live in clown world and any job posted online gets hundreds to thousands of applications from all over the world and businesses use ATS systems to filter out even the most qualified of candidates.

3-my entire family has lived in California for generations and would never help me leave it out of tribalism. And none of my out of state friends are particularly well off enough to even provide a couch, and it isn’t their responsibility to do so.

I just wanted to remind everyone Trump did order the end of de mininis for China and other countries. Which means drop shipment companies like wish and temu are about to get ass raped. Trump tried to do it earlier, or at least the USPS tried. But it immediately got rescinded.

Which is great. They sell shit products that mostly end up in the dump. Creating more waste and ewaste.

This is a but of a sideways response to your post, but anyways

I hate "environmentalists". I love the environment, but I never hear these cunts complaining about the endless plastic crap being produced in the east and shipped to the west. Instead it's all about how I (specifially) shouldn't drive, shouldn't go on holiday twice a year, how I should wear a jumper instead of turning on my fucking heating.

Utter cunts. Ban China from producing temu crap and invest in nuclear. I'm the real environmentalist.

More than that, the only possible thing accomplished by this is making some poor dumb wage slave (who is not even American) have to go through and turn them all back around again.

And looking after the dairy aisle is such a surprisingly shitty job. I worked in a supermarket through college, and my friend got stuck on dairy aisle duty for months because she was timid and the manager used to assign it to her all the time because she didn't complain. Her hands were in a rotten state after the first few weeks, her skin was all dry and cracked from the cold.

So what is Trump's plan behind the tariffs?

Even if it's encouraging domestic manufacturing, we still need the raw materials and equipment to build the plants all of which will be more expensive.

Here's my giant sperg take based on consuming this shit constantly:
Honestly man, nobody really knows.
Its never been done before. I can show you a video of pelosi, bernie, obama and trump all saying we need it, but nobody ever had the balls.
It's not going to be a 3-month fix... this is a 20-year fix... but you have to start somewhere. People are too concerned about the stupid stock market today, or 2 months from now, and they aren't seeing the big picture.
Everyone is going to try and stop it, which is going to keep the market instability going for much longer than it should. By the 4th of July, we should see what tariffs we are actually going to be keeping in place, the market should have calmed down, and their stupid line will start going up again. Of course, that's assuming he isn't sabotaged by the senate getting scared / bowing to their masters. The long-term effects of this are going to be a giant reset in favor of America's poor and middle class, our children and their children, and the quality of life of everyone.
For us right now? Theres going to be some pain. The ones that stand to lose the most are the 'elite' class as people panic sell and they freak out over things, thinking that these daily numbers are still going to matter 5 years from now. This is the biggest transfer of money from the 'rich' to the 'poor' in human history that hasn't been done without a war. And it scares everyone, but it will be alright.
To use that show Shark Tank as an example:
The smart ones, The Robert Herjavec's of the world who actually care about people are going to be fine, and places like the Midwest will become manufacturing hubs again through their, and other entrepreneurs' investments. The ones who only care about their own wealth, the Mark Cubans of the world, stand to lose the most as they stamp their feet and refuse to change until it's too late.
There is going to be TONS of propaganda in the meantime, and lots of attempts to discredit Trump and make everyone afraid... but ask yourself, has that ever worked against him? We elected this man to do some Gangster Psycho Shit to save this country, and this is what it's going to take. What side you fall on is whether you can trust the plan and believe in the future, or care only about the now, and your piece of the pie.
Hope that helps.
