Pakistan's only play in an actual war with India is to sell their asses to China. Not great.


A number of conservative YouTube creators got pitched a distro deal where Tenet Media would license their shows and put them on their network (just another youtube channel, afik). Later on, officials in the Biden admin said that the network was backchannel funded by some people connected to Russia Today. They provided no evidence to the effect, the investigation never went anywhere, and after a week or two, there were no further mentions of it from any government source. Meanwhile, now a bunch of conservative YouTubers are forever branded in the media as being "paid Russian propagandists" because their normal shows were on a different youtube channel for 6 months.

Could be legit. Could just as easily be a USAID-funded spook honeypot in order to discredit anti-Ukraine war righties.

I remember a few notalable breadtubers talking about the tenet thing for a few months.

Fear mongering about what could happen

See:

Translation: you have to take a picture of your government ID to access a website.

Which much like 'fourteen days to flatten the curve' will very quickly spiral out into every website everywhere regardless of content on said site.

It'll be the death of pseudonymity/anonymity. To retards who think 'well they know who you are anyways!' is a valid counterargument, they at least have to put in the bare minimum effort to pretend you're worthy of a warrant to weaponize back-end information against you. With this, Shaniqua from the Bureau Of Internet Communications can see every website you've ever been to at a moment's notice without even the hint of the figleaf of 'due process'.

You and people like you refusing to understand that handing power to the government isn't an argument about whether or not

the left can and will exploit anything and everything

and more about the inevitable result of your myopic drive to do shit in the worst and most hamfisted way possible in absence of reason is a danger to the populace that is rivaled only by your equally myopic, equally nonsensical, and equally reactionary opposition that similarly doesn't care for actual consequences as long as they get what they impulsively yearn for in policy against all reason.

You are no different than leftists who want illegal immigration or increased legal immigration, in that regard.

If you give a shit about online porn and how it affects kids do understand that neither that problem nor the societal rot that causes such shit is equivalent to the real damage enabling ID-checking for using websites will do to your own political aims.

You will unleash a genie you will desperately want to put back in the bottle for how hard it will fuck your ass immediately upon being loosed on the populace.

If you want to talk about methods that would actually have an effect without giving the government a much-desired capacity to fuck over nationalist, anti legal immigration, anti illegal immigration, and more importantly pro-white, sentiment we can have the conversation as rational adults. Anyone seriously considering such measures as what's proposed in the recent 'anti-porn bill' as anything other than a not-so-cryptic power grab by the people who hate both you and the retards who voted for Biden is not someone worth considering as a serious, rational adult human including you.

lolbertarians want to live in an country that the founders would've never wanted to make, based on a definition of "freedom" that never existed in human history and backed by a weak, limp wristed power structure that is incapable of doing anything meaningful and would be toppled in an afternoon.

The founding fathers explicitly didn't want a wimpy government, because the absolute mess that was the very short time under the Articles of Confederation showed exactly how awful such a system was.

The next democratic national primary is gonna be so fun to watch. We got Newsome out there calling to keep men out of women's sports, and Ro Khanna saying things like:

"What Democrats should start every speech with is: 'America is the greatest country in the world. It's the most open country in the world. It's the least racist country in the world, and we want to make it better,'" Khanna asserted.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/james-carville-democratic-rep-call-out-ilhan-omar-say-party-needs-praise-greatness-usa

The fun part is the Dems may be at the point where they are willing to hear this stuff out but definitely not at the point where they will let it win. They will get the entire woke playbook thrown at them.

So you should speed up the process, and lay the blame at your own feet for your idiotic failure to understand the natural consequences of your actions?

At a minimum if you foist the responsibility on the opposition, the blame for it being instituted lays firmly at their feet.

But really, let's be clear here: what you're doing here is circling back around to framing the argument as a 'republican vs democrat' issue when it in reality is a 'don't give the government the capacity to leak your information if you go to a wrongthink website' issue.

You seriously are fucking brain damaged. You people are not unlike a child stamping their feet for what you want against all argument to the contrary.

What I don't get is that Roberts made it clear that Boasberg had to hand the case over, he does not have jurisdiction in DC. It's a Texas matter.

But Boasberg is still acting like it's his case and Roberts is just sitting there saying nothing and doing nothing. I know the GoPe won't impeach Boasberg under any circumstances so he's pretty much free to flout anything the SCotUS rules and yet if Trump does anything the MSM will scream DICTATOR FASCIST and IMPEACHMENT until they go blue in the face.

It so fucking scummy I want to start FedPosting

I don't think the GOP can even try to impeech him, that requires a 2/3rds majority for a successful vote and Democrats won't sign on to that.

2 kids got a hold of and were playing with a handgun.
They were disarmed safely and successfully.
Blacks on social media outraged they weren't actually shot.
--------
New Mexico police fire non-lethal rounds and successfully disarm two young boys who were holding a loaded handgun. The boys, 7 and 9, were seen pointing the gun toward police. The moment was caught on a drone which helped police carry out the operation. The boys were eventually disarmed and were not injured.

This made me so mad, not just because their parents are probably shit, but because these kids clearly are going to be real problems as adults, as in hurting others. They're not deaf, they keep being told to drop the gun but won't, pretend they're super clever by passing it around to the other, then the one fag even aims the gun after being fired at with a bean bag and is thankful the cops weren't going to make him swiss cheese. And then they fucking lie right when the cop is picking them up as the still hold onto the gun.

The cops should check to see if there were dead animals in the neighborhood recently, probably them.

The point of impeaching him isn't to remove him, because that will never happen. The point of initiating impeachment proceedings is to
A) Gain subpoena power for his records so we can find out exactly why this piece of shit keeps getting assigned all the Trump cases
B) To get him on record
C) To make his life miserable for a few weeks

I'm not really understanding your point. Are you saying we should give them moral justification to do what they've always wanted to do because they were going to do it anyway? How does that help anything?

He's saying that if someone plans on shooting you in the face it's a valid proposition to consider shooting yourself in the face first, so that they can't shoot you in the face.

Because people who believe this shit have brain worms and are not rational actors.

Whatever the Chinese said, they lied.

 

[Dumbledore's Onlyfans]

I don't get why the Chinese are so averse to American imports when the majority of their population makes about $400 a month and can't afford American products anyway.

Because they want it made in china so they can steal American tech.
