They've done this to thousands and thousands of companies and brands over the past few decades.
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.
 
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?
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:
by party.jpeg
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:
Tim Pool - Israel Derangement Syndrome.png
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.

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?

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.

Neither Bush was an actor. Reagan acted in 43 movies between 1937 and 1964. He was also previously governor of California and had the opportunity to help Hollywood out very directly during his term in office. They welcomed him because everyone in Hollywood knew him, and apparently he was a pretty decent, easygoing guy in his personal life, so everybody liked him. I don't think you could say that about either one of the Bushes.
 
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.
Never forget.
 
No wall, no deportations and now no tariffs. But hey still sending billions of dollars to Israel and more American troops to watch over the genocide going on there.

Blormpf also nominated another kike as some 'UN antisemitism guard' thing. I think I'm tired of all this winning.
No new info in this post. No new thoughts. But hey, can still post whiny complaints.

I think I'm tired of dumbfuck doomers.

The bait just keeps getting weaker and weaker.
 
Fuck, imagine a world if Chang Kai Shek won and not Mao.
The yellow peril would still exist, possibly stronger depending on if he manages to be more retarded than Mao or not. After the death of Mao the Chinese slowly abandoned his communist ideals while keeping the red coat of paint. The truth is what we are seeing is the default state for them. An insect hive ready to do whatever it takes to gain power

Roberts doesn’t control nearly as much as people think he does. Being Chief Justice doesn’t really mean anything. Justice Stevens in his autobiography said that the Supreme Court is not really defined by who the Chief is, but by who the newest Justice is. Because, for example, you need four votes to grant cert to a case. The Chief only has one vote. Who the newest person is can radically change how cert is granted.

With these gun cases, you have to wonder who the multiple Justices are that are refusing every time to hear anything. I assume Thomas and Alito are always voting yes. But Roberts doesn’t control how Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett are voting. Why at least two of them are refusing each time is what you should be asking.
