I really feel like this needs more addressing in the media, this is such a suspect response.
Epstein was in the prison's "high power ward"

For anyone who doesn't know what that is, it's mandatory suicide watch, very high guard to prisoner ratio, and round the clock surveillance.

Some facilities even go so far as to keep high power inmates nude because a crazy or determined prisoner can commit suicide by shoving a sock down their own throats.

There is absurd no way Epstein could have committed suicide with no one noticing.
 
What are you talking about? The problem with those conflicts WAS because we had goals and purposes beyond "fuck them up". In WW2 all we needed to do was bash some Krauts and Japs then call it a day, and it turns out the US armed forces are really good at doing that. What the US military isn't good at is inserting themselves into other countries civil wars and try to nation build and introduce democracy as part of some 5d chess game against communism and islamic terrorism.
Not to mention Korea was a complete success by the measure it was started with, the defense of South Korean sovereignty. The main failure with Korea was that MacArthur and others saw an opportunity to go beyond the actual stated goal by chasing down the Reds into North Korea as well as not ruling out invading China, which lead a completely won war into a quagmire that people can argue was fought to a draw.

I could just be off the fent, you never know but assuming I was on some kinda bender I can think of no better reply than the oft attributed line from Mr Churchill,

“I have the advantage over you – I shall be sober to-morrow, whereas you will remain the fool you are to-day.”
 
The constant from 50 to now, Africans. Not quite constant #'s, but still on top breeders.

Sucks they're too dumb to even use to make iphones or anything.

It's untapped labor but there's nothing to be tapped. Too lazy and dumb to put in a factory.
Once the last African Nigger dies, Trump can turn the continent into a giant Theme Park.

Lord Miles can open it.
 
Man wearing a "Love Beyond Gender" shirt was arrested in LA after he was spotted opening up several briefcases that contained multiple firearms. When police arrived, he resisted arrest and was then thrown to the ground.

If not for the fact he was a chubby tubby I'd say there was a chance he was wearing that shirt to frame the other side.

A lifelong Democrat and pro-migrant activist who was planning to vote for Kamala, says she switched to President Trump after her quiet town in Colorado was overrun by illegals committing violent crime.

Whamp WHAMP. Cry more, retard. You live in Colorado. People have tried to warn you since 1990.
Look at her fucking microexpressions. You can see the condescension, she absolutely wasn't kidding about being a Democrat all this time.

I'm not even flaming you, I like you as a poster and local character. Just pointing out the context!

we lost Korea, Vietnam, Syria, Iraq, and now Afghanistan

Its not a stellar track record, last real war was ww2, the rest are just conflicts with no stated goal or purpose beyond "Fuck em up"
Korea was arguably a victory--South Korea is there, prosperous, safe, and the communists are poor and mad. Communism did not spread in NE Asia, China's influence and prestige were contained, and the costs of their involvement were strategically worse than our involvement!

Vietnam sucked, we lost strategically no matter how many of those bastards we killed. Johnson is an evil retarded bastard. Sanctioning the Vietnamese for heroically destroying the Khmer Rouge on behalf of decency (and because the Khmer Rouge were aggro retard fucks) was even worse.

Syria we seem to be winning presently from some points of view, just not the Kurdish one, but there won't be a Kurdish POV much longer anyway now that the Turks (hey, they're in NATO, kind of on our side) are steering the boat. At the very least Islamic State is basically defunct, our intervention appears to have achieved its goals.

Iraq is fucked, but also, we did topple Saddam and bring the civil war to an end and repel ISIS and there is a functioning-ish state, which is more than Russia and Iran achieved in Syria, and better than before 03 probably, and a damn sight better than before 14.

Afghanistan sucked, we lost strategically just from being there, Obama, Bush, and the coterie of people who kept that war going until 2022 are monstrous.
 
The difference with Tapper is he seems to get it. Plenty of others get the Maoist struggle session treatment and take it like a couch cuck.
Getting it, at this point, is not a positive sign. This is like letting a bunch of scorpions into your house and only freaking out when they start trying to sting your kids. You don't get any credit for realizing the obvious danger you voluntarily submitted your kid to, only after the danger manifests. It's not even like the covid shots, where someone could be legitimately and understandably tricked. These problems have been apparent for a decade and he is supposed to be a media figure who keeps abreast of all information, whether he agrees or not. He actively supports the people who hate his kid and want to see him suffer—and find it funny—and only sees a problem because it endangers his political party.

He's not even saying "These people are despicable for what they say about my kid and how they want to treat him." He's saying it's bad because it hurts his political party. That's demonic.
 
This unbelievable sense of dread, like they know they want to say fuck it all, but their nervous system has been whipped at such a deep psychological level they don't even know how, it's like touching a hot furnace, their brain refuses to let them do it. I've tried to tell some of them "you know you really don't need to do that stuff (nobody or any system is ever going to appreciate or need the extra work you're doing dude... you're just wasting your time)" and they give me this look of "i know... but i can't stop... i mean i physically cannot make my body stop working... please help me.!!"
The first of a batch of two hundred and fifty embryonic rocket-plane engineers was just passing the eleven hundred metre mark on Rack 3. A special mechanism kept their containers in constant rotation. "To improve their sense of balance," Mr. Foster explained. "Doing repairs on the outside of a rocket in mid-air is a ticklish job. We slacken off the circulation when they're right way up, so that they're half starved, and double the flow of surrogate when they're upside down. They learn to associate topsy-turvydom with well-being; in fact, they're only truly happy when they're standing on their heads.

Bonus thing I found while looking for this quote: https://www.reddit.com/r/literature...the_only_one_who_thinks_brave_new_world_is_a/

We all deserve to live in a Randian utopia of meritocracy.

Chinese Bhopal? I wonder what interesting mutations will get out of there.
If it is, you can be assured the CCP will squash any information about it immediately. Probably even vanish folks who try to tell the truth. They're still claiming only 5 people were killed and less than 2 dozen injured almost 12 hours after an explosion that could be seen, felt and heard 7 miles away leveled an entire 500 employee facility. This is as big, if not bigger than the Beruit Explosion in 2020. And the chemicals involved infinitely more lethal.
 
You've got your generations off. Gen X was mainly raised by Silents, the stereotype there being bitter 'nam vets. Boomers gave birth to Millennials
The generations don't work out quite so neat though. boomers started turning 20 in 1966, so a lot of Xers born between '66 and '80 were of Boomer stock. Many were not, but there's an overlap.

For example Michael J Fox's fictional 80s parents were both: Alex P Keaton's parents were hippie Boomers, but George and Lorraine McFly were Silents born in the 30s.

Likewise many Boomers birthed Millenials. That's not to say Gen X doesn't share the blame for Gen Y.
