It'll just take decades (if that) for it to happen

It then fails next week

Florida makes better gator dust anyway, you'll be happier once the tariffs kick in.

Where was everyone's due process during covid.
Business forced to be closed.
People forced home
Fined if you went to the park
Arrested for going to church (but not strip clubs)
No freedom of association or assembly allowed (unless you were a BLM rioter)
Then the VAX came and you were illegally forced to take it lest you be fired. But illegals could pour through the porous border carrying all kinds of diseases (including covid) without a care.

Though they'll say it's because they need it to make their phones thinner.

Even that claim is bullshit too. I've seen teardown videos of phones like the Samsung Fold 6. Inside that fancy-looking device? Bunch of high-end, compact but replaceable gear ... except for all the fucking glue.

They literally glue the case together (for no reason -- regular plastic or aluminum cases hold together perfectly fine just using tension) and the Fold 6 teardown in particular made me giggle because the guy recording it thanked Samsung for not gluing the fucking batteries in.

All they'd have to do to make even their flagship phones user-serviceable is stop using fucking glue and then sell the parts. But they won't, because they're greedy cunts.

Damn, I'd be real pissed if I hadn't spent the four years of pauses saving up money to be able to pay back a significant portion if not my entire loan once collection restarted.
You don't think anyone actually just sat around spending every dime with no repayment plan in place, do you?

There's someone in particular I know who I hope gets utterly fucked by this. Utterly destroyed. All their bluster about "higher education" is gonna feel so bitter when I get to do the I told you so dance.

People say they love law and order, but they never ask themselves what it is and what makes it worth protecting.

For what it's worth I like the SVU version, at least they had Ice Cube telling a guy he's gay.

Holy shit now that is a real stretch.

So Harvard is arguing that the Feds have the legal obligation to fund them due to...reasons? I read a lot about how Harvard is a leading place for research and scientific discovery but very little about how this entails the Federal Government having a legal obligation to continue funding their programs once they start no matter what.

It boils down to Trump big meanie! He stop money, we need money! Judge halp!

This is some low tier effort here did Harvard's local troon Alex Caraballo write this one cuz the legal arguments are pretty damn spurious. Not that that will stop the local Democratic appointed Judge from ruling that Trump must turn on the money spigot again, at once but damn son Harvard needs Stretch Armstrong to carry this case forward.

It's super lame how the Democrats are 100% using the biased courts to try to stop anything and everything they can.

I wish the US had a real Supreme Court instead of these liberal apologists who don't want to pass anything definitive.

Roberts you massive wanker your going to have to make a ruling sooner or later you know, you can't waffle forever.

 

[browserbowser]

It's super lame how the Democrats are 100% using the biased courts to try to stop anything and everything they can.

No, what is super lame is Republicans are still not willing to act in the same fashion under the guise of 'getting along with' people who are correctly treating politics as a zero-sum game for survival.

More people on the right in America are willing than ever to support doing so, I'll grant that. But way, way too many are not.

It's super lame how the Democrats are 100% using the biased courts to try to stop anything and everything they can.

The same depraved small minds that love critical race theory have adopted a late stage roman ethic of critical law theory. They use the law for power, not for justice. If they can win on a technicality that everyone knows is a lie, but present it within a legal framework, they can literally get away with murder.

 

[LouBoots]

No, what is super lame is Republicans are still not willing to act in the same fashion under the guise of 'getting along with' people who are correctly treating politics as a zero-sum game for survival.

There are reptiles on both sides, on the Republican side they would be the Neocons, win at all cost, sell your mother types.

But we can't behave like that or we're no better. Once we enjoin the dirty game we ourselves are sullied. There is such a thing as spiritual power, once you walk the wrong path you become a shell and find yourself surrounded by more and more npc's and energy demons.

As a Man Thinketh by James Allen explains it unintentionally.

You are the demon here.

Get it? Freak? You're fucking retarded and your worldview, if you genuinely believe in it, is the shit that destroys nations not of lack of capacity to change their fate, but of indolent resignation from hedonistic navel-gazing dressed up as 'moral conviction' promulgated amongst those of the populace who would otherwise be capable of reversing entropy in their civilization.

Actually, unironically, kill yourself you nigger. You are an *entropy elemental*.

 

[LouBoots]

You mistake me for a different kind of Demon.

Law shouldn't be a zero sum game, but once you cross certain lines, you are fair game.

We can have a system of law which is about Justice and Fairness where we treat people fairly and apply ethical and moral standards to our conduct.

At the same time it can be true that if our opponent does not want to be a moral actor, we can revert to the laws of the jungle.

Everyone has to expose themselves eventually. Why leave a paper trail when you deal with someone causing problems like that?

The law, when it is about Justice, is how we move forward. When someone uses it for power, and they are being dishonest as they apply it, they can then be reminded of what real power is.

Trump should start linking the tariffs to Chinese government banned events. It will force them to come up with altartive reasons and words to explain his actions and dampen their propaganda efforts. Do they run seperate campaign in America and China or do they push one unified nonsensical narrative.

"This medical ban is because their tiger penis and rhino horn medicine doesn't work"

"This tariff on textiles is because they are made with uyghur Muslim slave labor I call it the Islamophobia tax"

"I am putting a tariff on electronics because they harvest the organs of their prisoners"

Some of you 4chan refugees are okay.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

is how we move forward.

we move forward by grinding them into the dirt so they can never attempt murder or make political prisoners again

 

[CarlKingofDucks]

This is an amazing year. This new shit about Kanye being a dick sucker and a judge housing illegal TDA members is just fucking amazing.

I mean, here in this specific case, Trump is bitching and crying hoping that the Fed will restart the money printer. If you're fiscally conservative and against inflation you probably do not want the money printer (low interest borrowing rates) to be restarted.

Speed running a triangle?

 

[Dave The Diver]

Yeah, America doesn't have that system. Hasn't had it for a good 100 years if not longer.
You're the kind of nigga who preaches "We shouldn't violate the Convention on Cluster Munitions" after your position gets hit with cluster bombs. In other words: you the kind of nigga who wants to lose.

Trump should start linking the tariffs to Chinese government banned events.

And then China (like USSR before it) claps back with "Americans owned slaves".
gg;no re

I've been watching a bit of the apprentice ( the show, not the hitpiece movie) and it's so dam funny to me how Trump really hasn't changed at all and how much everyone loved him. He even had the presidential dance in season 2. Its a genuinely fun show too, managed to get a relative to watch it even though they don't care for Trump and I think it's actually winning them over to him lol.

I skipped ahead to season 6 and and in one of the crowd shots a dude is holding up a trump for president sign in addition to Trump opening up the season with a guest appearance from baby Barron. Its wild man.



Also ABC is in a civil war now.
