So for context yesterday the senate passed a bill that would require proof of citizenship to vote, now it should be noted that other countries notalbly more liberal countries have similar laws like this, the reason why this law was passed was as a way to Comabt illegal immigrants from influencing votes.

But for some reason old massive massive descides to “urm akshully” thing by saying the most restarted thing he's said in about a month. The only reason why I think someone like him being against this is purely out of spiteful contrasinism. View attachment 7211773
Hold up the senate passed the bill, goddamn I have not been paying attention to this. Thought for sure some rinos were going to stop it.
 
The US has honestly everything. Take my state, Utah. The Uranium for the first atom bombs came from here. We just shut down the mines. The uranium is still there though, waiting. That is the entire US. We are sitting on a gold mine. Asia is not magic soil where all the rare earth minerals are.
The thing about rare earth metals is that they're legitimately hard to mine for and separate and you need years of extensive investment into very specific type of infrastructure before you so much as break even. The US and Canada have probably far more than is currently known but the cost of operation isn't something any private company can shoulder unless it had Nasa tier support.

the Injuns like fire water and being depressed more so someone is going to have to hit them with a money stick to make them open up land for exploitation.
Name me one major reservation that doesn't already have casinos raking in billions for them so they CAN just sit around depressed and drinking the firewater in their shithole trailers in the dust. They don't give a fuck about White Man money sticks for land. They have all the land AND all the money. These fuckers could own us all if they had even the slightest shred of motivation or cunning. But no. All that money goes to just paying the socialist tribal funds to keep everyone drunk, dumb and belligerent as much as possible. They do it to themselves, really.
 
Aside from two guys, it was a solid Republican stretch for over 30 years.
From Abraham Lincoln to Herber Hoover it was almost 60 years of mostly republican control, and I can't help but notice that Democrats were in power for almost 30 years before that. I presume that left a mark that took a long time for people to forget.
 
It's actually not impossible Republicans stay in control. Invoking the civil war, I point to the time between Lincoln and Taft

This is referring to a time when total turnout was around 10M, eligibility to vote was far tighter, no TV, and no smartphones swaying opinions. And even then the races were still tight.

I don’t see 30 years of any party holding the US even if the country is “perfect”.
 
Disappointed in the exemption for certain electronic parts, I would hope this is a way to see if Chyna will back off some stuff and if not they're back on. It's obvious it was Elon or Tim Apple who told him to dial it back but at some point you have to keep punching, you don't fall off a weakened opponent or you risk hurting yourself, it's one of the first rules drilled into you playing sports.

But the way it seems this isn't even making big news and I'm hearing more bitching about the illegal rapist "from Maryland" makes me realize there's too much good news happening that this is what we're left with.

Rare earths are everywhere, but you’re right, the difficultly comes from profitable recovery. The US used to produce the majority of the world’s rare earth. Production is spooling up again with companies like MP Materials/ US Rare Earth and the Mountain Pass mine.

I highly doubt some paid off members of the senate are ever going to pass this.
It has to beat the filibuster. They don’t need to pay anyone off.

It's more likely because the only thing people care about getting more expensive than food is technology, and also every single company in the entire U.S relies on computers in some form or another.

Current mining ops could. I'm not going to PL, but I know miners. They will dig where the money is. You got to get rid of the environmentalists though. The government has to keep them away and let them do their thing.

There was this thing called a war that triggered that 60 years. Trump could trigger at least 12 in theory. He needs to win Bigly thus term to sell Vance tho.
 
I hate real ID because of the constant airport breencasts about it
My state-issued DL is "Real ID compliant," but I still just exclusively use my American passport at airports. It's essentially playing in god mode. "Here's an increasingly insipid list of bullshit you need for identification going through this line at blah blah blah ..." "Fuck you. Passport." "Yes sir, right away sir, this way sir!"

I'm honestly not even exaggerating. Something about just having your boarding pass folded in half like a bookmark to your passport's photo page ready in-hand just switches off the "bullshit dispenser" all the hall monitors are equipped with. It's like an unspoken understanding ... "oh, okay, you've actually got your shit together, move along and we'll pick on someone else."

PHILLIPINES NOOOOOO
Stories like this always make me howl with laughter even though it's typically due to chinks in obvious gov positions, but because it's always shit like
"How could we have known that Bi Xi Bang Ti Zao Wu Fu Li Lie Lo was a Chinese spy?"
 
Who is giving you faggots the same script?

Shill Team 6 has been activated.

This is pretty worrying, these people are just reposting the same message over and over, with no attempts to debate or write a coherant response. I would think the Farms would be the last place bots would target (which we know exist thanks to all the shit DOGE uncovered), but it appears maybe not. Or it could just be clueless people reposting shit here after seeing it elsewhere, who knows.

At least here we can call people out on this bullshit, but we should remain vigilant in attempts at astroturfing on the farms

It might be time for Null to update Kiwiflare once he figures out how they are bypassing it.
