China's no stranger to portraying America as an eagle.

There's still something about their latest round of propaganda that's ironically funny. They take advantage of everyone, including their own citizens, for decades. They steal from everyone, torture their people and poison the world, but the second America tells them no, we're the bad guys. The kicker? The Chinese are so soulless and evil that it loops around, and they can't portray villainy properly.

That reminds me a lot of the Best Korean Cobra Commander wolves.

I'm sure Chinese and Best Korean studios worked together at some point, but the differences are uncanny.

In better times, that kind of open threat by a mere instructor would have justified a brutal beating that would have left her unable to wiggle that red pen of hers for weeks.

Shame you didn't have a recording device handy to record the conversation to later leak publicly. Not quite as good as beating her senseless, but it would have been funny seeing brief discomfort.


It's "border." A "boarder" is someone who rents a room, i.e. "room & board."

It's even in the URL and headline.

I mean, I’m not a journalist because of it, so I won in the end if you ask me

True. No matter how bad your life is, at least you're not a journalist.

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

Okay you know what I have a further reason to be angry at this.

This person could have bought this exact fucking cut of fake fur at JOANN's for like 20$ on sale. Several locations, including the one I go to near me house, have been going out of business because of chinese shit like what this bitch is buying. She is, by doing this, contributing to the destruction of local businesses. This isn't just a fabrics thing, this is happening in the entire art shop world. My art teacher has a list of local art shops that you can buy materials from, and he has said that since he has started doing this half of these stores are just flat out gone.

You think these people would realize what a big problem this is? That they should be supportive of Trump and tariff policies to protect their own livelihoods?

No, not at all. Because they are fucking BRAINDEAD MORONS who crave their own destruction. Because the endless fucking tranny brigade, because being a coastal elitist, and above all their addiction to cheap NOWNOWNOW garbage come above all logic and rationality. I did not know I could be this viscerally disgusted but here I am.

Keep your eyes peeled. There could be a journalist here right now and we wouldn't even know it!

If there are any present: I will MAYBE forgive you for being subhuman trash if you share some spicy and fun political gossip with us. Not sure about the others. They're pretty on board for Total Journoscum Death!

While Cheap Chinese shit certainly isn't helping, Joann's got fucked over by the Venture Capitalist loophole. They got control of Joann's, sold Joann's real-estate to the VC's parent company for a song, who then rented the space to Joann's at a huge markup, siphoning as much money out of the company as possible. There are other versions of this jewish trick. The end result is Joann's, which is still perfectly profitable and fine, suddenly is dead fucking broke and undergoing bankruptcy, but because all the money isn't in Joann's anymore (it's in the VC's parent company) they don't have to pay shit and Joann's just dies to kill the debt and the VC fuckers go off using the money to buy another company.

They've done this to thousands and thousands of companies and brands over the past few decades. Worse, they're pulling the exact same scam as in 2008, bundling these debt packages together and selling them to investors -- but this time instead of the housing market it's the entire market. I'd find the video of Tim Pool having some lady on explaining this shit but Youtube is firmly in "let me save you from that bad opinion, plebian" mode and you can't search for shit anymore on that pozzed shithole -- trying to search got me a shitload of Hassan piker and David Pakman videos crying about how evil Tim Pool is for disagreeing with them.

Edit: Holy shit, you can't even search google for his name. You get unrelated slop replies instead of his channel or social media. He's completely shadowbanned. They're sneeding.

Edit: I found it. Had to find his channel the long way cause any googling for his name got me Sam Sneeder, Hassan, et cetera all crying about him.

The woman is Tiffany Cianci. She's been on with Cramer and RFKjr talking about it so the Trump admin knows about the problem. Apparently the proper term isn't VC it's "Private Equity."

Wonder what SCOTUS will do with this.

Nothing. They have had close to two decades to shut this shit down. California, New York, Maryland, New Jersey, Washington, Illinois as of recently, and now Colorado. I'm forgetting some, Hawaii is another one. How many of these states had to turn into despot kingdoms where their residents become sub-American second and third class serfs who don't get to express their rights in full, only for congress and SCOTUS to sit on their hands and do absolutely nothing? Many cases have been filed and SOCTUS has been petitioned to rule every time, and they haven't. Unless Trump strong arms them into action, it won't be taken and they will continue to kick the can down the road.

John Roberts is the worst Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in the past 80 years.

 

[Keystone]

Refuse to hear it like they have almost every other important gun case in the last 5-10 years.

I fucking hate Roberts so much.

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

It's literally mafia tactics but legal. If you watch that scene in Goodfellas where it ends with them burning down the club for the insurance money. That's just what this is. Only instead of some goombas in the 1950s and 1960s it's hedge funds..

I'm sure you can find that shit happening even further back too, people forget the mafia fixed the 1920 world series.

America might not be a narco state but the amount of rich guys in New York who can trade their ancestry back to murder inc is insane enough to at least give credence to the theory we're heavily controlled by immoral if not criminal enterprises.

The proverbial cyberpunk corporate assassins only in its earliest form.

John Roberts is the worst Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in the past 80 years.

Between him and that cunt its fairly fucking obvious the Bush led GOP was completely evil and proudly forced the GOP to become the Washington generals. There's a reason HWB becoming dominant in the party coincidened with the GOP going from near dominant in the Reagan era to only winning one popular vote election from 1989 to 2023.

 

[Kuritan Deplorable]

They are beyond smooth brained. If you ask them how they expect everyone to get paid more to do less work and have everything get cheaper in the process, they'll just spew some ignorant end stage capitalism bullshit and ignore the question. They don't want solutions, they just want to socially fit in by disliking the right things, so they avoid understanding the problem less they develop the wrong opinion on it.

If they cannot understand the most basic correlation between someone`s pay and the cost of the product or service they produce, there's no way in hell they'll understand how buying domestic products means domestic producers have money to pay domestic employees, who then consume your own domestic services in turn. Yet somehow the barista class has never figured out that exporting wages to China doesn't help them one iota when the Chinese ain't gonna stroll across the Atlantic to buy their coffee every morning.

Edit: Holy shit, you can't even search google for his name. You get unrelated slop replies instead of his channel or social media. He's completely shadowbanned. They're sneeding.

Seems like a skill issue, I get links to his spotify and twitter, as well as some YT links to his videos, although not directly to the YT channel unless I search for "timcast" instead.

This is part of a trend. A leftwing "independent thinker" is willing to sit down and "just talk", because people with different political views should be able to talk. For example, Joe Rogan had Woody Harrelson on and they talked about Dr Fauci being evil and other issues they can agree on and saying open dialogue is a good thing. Joe Rogan had Bill Murray on a few episodes later; they connected over Hunter S. Thompson and agreed the journalist Bob Woodward was a liar and Bill Murray said “they framed Nixon.”
Gavin Newsom interviewed Charlie Kirk and also Steve Bannon.

It seems to be connected to Hollywood and California power brokers.

The recent Israel sperging didn't just happen in this thread. The issue is causing drama in many online places.

In my previous post:

This 𝕏 post by Bongino has a very high interaction rate. It is the most commented story on Patriots.win today (link | archive).

I said that was the most commented story of the day. I was incorrect. This post was (archive).

The moderators of Patriots.win tried to bury it and keep it out of view. It still managed to get the most comments; more comments than any post this week.

It is about this article on ZeroHedge (archive) that includes info from a Pew research poll. It includes this image:

That shows 18-49 year old Republicans shifted from 35% to 50% negative view of Israel. Older Democrats also went from below 50% to above. Only Republicans above 50 years old don't view Israel negatively.

More details from the poll are in the PewResearch.org article (archive).

Israel seems to be aware of this. Netanyahu pushes back on anti-Israel trends in meeting with podcasters—JewishInsider (archive). The "podcasters" listed in the article are: Dave Rubin, Tim Pool and former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, writers Bethany Mandel and David J. Harris Jr., influencer Jessica Kraus, Commentary senior editor Seth Mandel and Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway.

Tim Pool reacted to being criticized for the meeting by posting this:

https://nitter.poast.org/Timcast/status/1909968244468855104

It did not go over well; as you can see by the comment to like ratio. Tim Pool has been dealing with the drama on 𝕏 and his podcast. I would post user comments reacting to Tim Pool's post, but my post is already long enough. It also risks igniting the issue in this thread as well.

The issue of Israel and US involvment was also debated on Joe Rogan:

---

I understand talking about Israel can upset people in this thread. I'm not trying to anger anyone. I am posting to document these events and trends. I tried to word my post in a less inflammatory way and point out facts and data.

I found the drama around Tim Pool quite funny, but that is probably because I find Tim Pool very unlikable. The Rogan debate is being talked about a lot in the bro-sphere.

The comment by Trump today about the killing of White farmers in South Africa was a smart move on Trump's part (or whoever advised him). The bros still have hope that Trump is on their side and will help fix things.

“I do not presume to understand current politics..."

Exactly, bitch. That right there is exactly why and when you need to shut your trap.

But, here it comes...

Wait for it...

You won't have to wait long...

"but what I do know..."

There it is.

Admits she has no fucking clue, but then she just has to start flapping her gums.

Even before he was running for president, Trump had been working in the media. If he didn't already have a thick skin when he started his 2016 term, he sure as shit had one by the end of it. Since Trump has always been a media personality, it makes sense that there's a difference between how we see him in public and how he is in more private settings. There were always small hints and snippets of it during his first term. I'm glad someone with some reach and influence also got a chance to see that.

That doesn't mean I'm not going to continue to relish the anguished wailing of libtards facing cognitive dissonance yet again.

That's not the only one. There are like 3 or 4 very obvious President Kamala media examples and many many more less obvious ones. They really, genuinely, believed she was going to win, and were setting up victory laps in pop culture over it.

They really didn't learn from Hilary's run at all, did they?

 

[HTTP Error 404]

They really didn't learn from Hilary's run at all, did they?

Not in a single fucking way. They tried the exact same playbooks. Run a woman. Run a black, that worked before. Don't campaign and just keep her "safe" from any danger of showing her opinion, that worked with Biden. If we include abstract labels that worked before they'll work now, right? Right??

The Theater Kids are a Political Cargo Cult. They know that these things worked before but they don't know why. We've seen this shit on social media, like idiot Shaniquas and Karens calling everyone Nazis until they had to switch to Fascist because no one gave a shit that you were calling them Nazi anymore.

Everything I could say about this clip has already been said except for one thing: Poking fun at the fake canned laughter in your studio doesn't make it any less fake and canned, Bill. Get a new sound guy because that was some of the most painful laugh.wav I've sat through.

not to get into it but a lot of jews have gotten a lot closer to trump in recent times, numerous celebrities especially ones that were huge in the 2000s proudly posted congratulatory posts when trump won the election because they feel the GOP is better on israel matters. In combination with this, the guy in charge of the largest talent agency in hollywood, the guy who Ari Gold in entourage is based off of, is firmly pro-trump, pro-elon, and pro-israel and has been trying to combat the anti-israel stuff in any way he knows how, and if that means forcing guys like Bill Maher to lighten up on anti-trump bullshit then so be it.

Honestly, this is what i expected to happen back in 2017, but at least its fucking happening, back in 2021 it felt like anyone anti-woke was fucked, the GOP was dead. now its thriving and respected in a way that hasn't happened since literally Reagan. you didn't have normal celebrities congratulating either bush when they won, but everyone in hollywood lined up for Reagan.
