Holy fuck. Colorado went nuclear on the guns. Not full AWB ban, but close

But the good news is that this law doesn't apply to you if you are an armed Venezuelan gang member.

"What is wrong with you americans"
"You americans"
"Carlos Garcia"

You guys have been really cool to me and I'll try to sperg about this as little as possible while i'm here, and i realize sugarkane is being facetious, this is such a huge pet peeve of mine.

"Why do americans have bad test scores?" "Why are americans so violent?" "why Americans Comit so much crime?" "Why do americans run up so much debt?" "Why are you so unhealthy?" "Why is your public transportation so bad?" "Why do americans kill each other?"

Just endless embarrassing statistics they have read about "americans", as if "americans" is the only category worth mentioning. No sub category or proto culture, just "americans" and the things "americans" do.

All as they imagine this image in their head:



Sorry to go full MATI, time for a break.

So this is why my libtard friends quit watching him.

The Cold War might have ended a generation earlier if that happened. Also if there still was a Korean War it would have ended in total defeat of the communists. Hek, Vietnam might not have been a thing either.

This just makes me wish I had a time machine now.

It's a funny statement. All the green numbers on the scrolling stock market bar are a nice touch. My favorite part is this:

"We Chinese, we just ignore you silly Americans and your tariffs next time" yeah okay Xi you've been doing a great job so far. Can't wait to see what the reciprocal tariff is going to be this time. I'm hoping 1000% minimum.

Tank the China made products plz.

That one Stephen Colbert guy implied there's no "Deep State" by claiming that if there were, they would've stopped the tariff thing. Talk about attempted gaslighting there.

Steven Colbert sold out years ago, and is a coward.

The Cold War might have ended a generation earlier if that happened. Also if there still was a Korean War it would have ended in total defeat of the communists. Hek, Vietnam might not have been a thing either.

Ho Chi Minh showed up to the UN general assembly in 1948 with a document quoting the US Declaration of Independence and begging us to recognize Vietnam as an independent country.

We didn’t want to backstab our lovers, the French, so we told him to pound sand.

However a youngish Nikita Khrushchev was in attendance, and felt moved by this warrior poet’s chingy chongy plight. The Soviets offered to recognize Vietnam, and so the Viet Minh movement began.

In 1954, 50,000 troops under General Vo Nguyen Giáp moved artillery to the hill tops surrounding the valley of Dien Bien Phu, where France’s main garrison of 10,000 troops were probably smoking cigarettes, drinking wine and acting angsty.

The French did not win, and Vietnam became an independent, Soviet aligned country

I just typed this all out from memory so don’t bitch if minor details are slightly wrong. I’m getting older

Hopefully this gets overturned so I can see that fat faggot New Yorker Tom Sullivan get pushed to tears. "WAH WAH MY SON DIED" isn't an excuse to tyrannize others. Fuck you.

Now everyone's sons get to die. Except the criminals. Checkmate gun nuts.

Couldn't find him giving the salute but close:

That's okay, I got this:

I've got just about everyone doing a salute saved somewhere.

This ticks me off, one of the few things that US science does well probably going to go and it's still only a blip in the budget. Musk better come out saying he'll make up for this somehow.

Probably just moving towards finally cancelling that atrociously over-priced SLS lift vehicle. It costs too much to even test launch it, upwards of $1 to $2.5 billion per launch, and NASA is probably just going to end up using SpaceX vehicles anyway. Starship will lift more to orbit and currently Starship test launches are about $100 million.

Stuff like this in the article:

“It needlessly terminates functional, productive science missions and cancels new missions currently being built, wasting billions of taxpayer dollars in the process. This is neither efficient nor smart budgeting.”

This is just classic Sunk Cost Fallacy, you see it a lot with bureaucrats desperately trying to keep milking a dead program.

China just announced a nuclear battery that can last 50 to 100 years without recharging. To be fair, South Korea has an alternative in development, but it doesn’t appear to be ready yet—and oh yeah, Trump slapped tariffs on them too.

That's literally just a beta-decay collector
It's generating microwatts for a long time, that's it.
It's like a better-lasting button cell.
We already have those, pretty much every first country does

Isn't there one of those in the Voyager space probe?

Redditors on suicide watch as usual.

[StarkRavingMad]

What's the deal with trump giving himself a military parade and instituting martial law?

According to leftoids he's about to do that on April 20th to celebrate Hitler or something.

And if Trump actually did that, what would these faggots do about it outside of whining online and doomscrolling?

They'd be too busy celebrating 4/20 for another reason.

I don't think I can physically be more pro-tariff now if I could.
