Trump is the greatest president. Greater than Reagan. Greater than Roosevelt.

Maybe not as great as George Washington but seriously no one is as great as George Washington.

No other president has taken on the task of saving American CULTURE, ECONOMY, GOVERNMENT, MILITARY simultaneously. It is a near impossible herculean feat reserved only for gods.
 
We cut their beef (but not grains or nuts) but China just increased their purchasing from
What China Imports is irrelevant. 80%+ of their economy is based entirely on export (with another 15% being real estate fraud) and everybody else combined does not and cannot come close to what China exports to the US. The main thing China Imports is US currency. Their economy requires it to a degree almost never seen before.

No one knows for certain how this plays out. I think come May 2 those seeking negotiations will most likely win the argument in China. If just because the Oligarchs and the Army Generals are losing too much money. (And the Generals are in no rush to showcase how I'll preparred the Red Army and Navy are due to them looting everything via contractor fraud bribes and kickbacks.)
 
Glen brings up a reasonable point. Why should Medical Research Facilities be getting in any way involved with boycotting nations, statrs or businesses. If they are taking Federal Research Money they should shut up and keep their politics out of the workplace.
 
Texas is the second most populated state and is very dysfunctional. I'm not surprised.
also the "sepsis spike" is based off a ProPublica article that has their headliner graph set up like this

but wait, if you take another look you'll notice their starting point is quite a bit lower than just another year or two into their data set. they've also set up the graph to be opaque about what exactly those numbers are. let's add in something that might help

so in 2019 it looks like the sepsis rate was about 3.6% or 3.7%. but they massaged the numbers to make it look like a jump of 2% instead of just a jump of 1.3%

their entire argument for why the abortion bans are so bad in Texas is literally dozens of people, most of whom are niggers or illegals (A)
Hispanic women experienced the highest rates of infection-related maternal mortality. In Texas, the pregnancy-related mortality ratio (PRMR) in 2020 was greatest among non-Hispanic Black women compared to all other race/ethnicity groups (roughly 2.5 times greater).
 
@autistic dog
That's easy to say when it isn't you.
That is the other half of it. It forces everyone smart enough to have better opsec in a survival of the fittest style. It also garners some support from those who manage to hide their power level towards those who are effected. Would any of us care nearly as much about Jewish debanking tactics had they not effected our dear feeder Josh.
 
I found out that two congressmen, Jared Huffman and Jamie Raskin were having a speech right next to me, and decided to drop in.

First notes is that, if you know the whole "John Oliver comedy propaganda method", the way their speeches were formed was very familiar. The trick was to begin with a starter of something they can easily prove, then start using a few jokes in between. Get a good emotional gut punch in as well, for this it was a woman being fired from NIH. Then, inscrease the ratio in favor of jokes and emotion. At a certain pace of this, you go from things you can prove to anecdotal information, misleading figures, and "joking but not joking" allusions to all the bad things about your opponent. Calling Trumps orders "Imperial Edicts", but asserting that a lower court ruling on the president was "obeying the law." By the time he is saying that there was "no evidence" that the dude in el salvador was a gang member despite having the tatoos on his knuckles, the audience does not think of it logically. That information in the brain is saved subconciously, along with this little reward of humor.

I feel I got a better representiation of what he thought by what he did not bring up. Joe Biden's name did not appear once that entire speech. Endless attacks at how Republicans are evil and assuages to, in some vague way, the Democratic party are somehow better at this, but not anything even remotely concrete. They didn't get to talk about how the economy was so much better under Trump, or how Joe Biden would handle it better. In fact, a lot of it was basically trying to assert that the president was no better than the leader of a school council, and how using any action amounted to dictatorialism.

I don't think anyone here has anything to worry about though. Their strategy of saying "NO WE MAKE THE RULES NOW NOW NOW LISTEN TO US." And this appeal that they should call all the shots doesn't work when they hae spent the last who knows how pong fucking us over. People want a figure, that they elected, to start taking names.

Also, everyone in that building was old. It was basically a retirement home. Most of these people should be playing bingo in a retirement home instead of participating in politics.

Those patient populations are notorious for being retarded and noncompliant. Providers have to keep a sharp eye on them.

Also, there's a reason why the media tried to cover up the Kermit Gosnell case (the infamous West Philly abortionist who murdered three children who were born alive at his horror clinic) and why the only feminists who know about it are TERFs.

ICE arrested Harpreet Singh. Some terrorist.

I thought it would be that lady who did a pump and dump on some crypto scheme and disappeared off the face of the earth. It might have been BitConnect, but idk.
 
So many thoughts on this, but all the major countries represented here already have all their consumer telcos back doored. If you're running a TOR node or hitting a VPN or something they are intercepting you or seeding you into their own routes from your Telco POP or nearby. You're not getting around it. Some novel means of wardriving notwithstanding unless it's your full time job it's not viable to be anonymous.
You took a bunch of tech sounding words and strung them together in a way that makes absolutely zero sense which betrays that you have no fucking idea what you're talking about.

Nobody with the capacity to tap undersea cables and infiltrate an ISP gives a singular fuck about shitposting on KF I assure you. If the government needed to get at someone, they'd simply send a request to 1776 Solutions on official letterhead using known channels to obtain the relevant information about that user. Null is very open about this.

Running a Tor exit node != using the Tor network. Running a Tor exit node is a good way to piss your ISP off though, because you've volunteered your computer to act a bridgehead server between the Tor network and the rest of the internet.

VPN providers, even ones that advertise zero logging likely keep logs, if nothing else, then for service management. They don't pipe everything into /dev/null and you'd be foolish to think they did.

"They are interepting or seeding you into their own routes from your Telco POP or nearby". There are actually ways to do this, but if you think lolcows can operate a man-in-the-middle at the ISP level or that they'd break into a POP to do so, assuming they'd know what a CMTS or equivalent and a core router looks like or how it fucking worked along with the physical and logical security measures put in place to prevent such intrusions???? What kind of next level schizo autism is this???

Wardriving? You mean driving around with kismet and looking for wireless networks? You think evil people are driving around trying to find out who you are by rolling through your neighborhood with a laptop looking for ways to break into your wireless network????

It's also absolutely viable to remain anonymous, the level of anonymity and countermeasures taken need to accurately reflect the threat actor. For this schizopost idea you made up in your head, you might as well throw away everything you own that talks to something else and go live in the fucking woods.

Trump is easily the best president in my life time. That's not hard consider the competition: HW, Bill, Dubya, Obama, Biden.

Probably the best president since Ike. Not sure if on par with Teddy.

I think Trump is the best president since Calvin Coolidge. Coolidge always gets slept on, which is pretty fitting tbh.

Besides, the only thing you can do to get places like Pro Publica to stop cherry picking data to make you look like a shithole is elect Democrats. It's literally the only thing you can do. You can't be moderate enough as a Republican to get the media to stop attacking you. You just have to elect Democrats.

Loathe as I am to admit it, the fact that he shook the fuck out of the Government when for years, the Government absolutely needed it (and the American public absolutely knew that) should put him higher on a lot of lists.

But to a lot of people "less Government = fascism".
