I think it’s the political equivalent of Honey Boo Boo. Just put a trashy fat chick out there and let her say a bunch of random shit and hope people won’t be able to look away from the spectacle. Just this time they’re selling Democrats instead of Mountain Dew and Red Bull.
I'm fairly certain picking one of the fattest and ugliest women I've ever seen is intentional so they can oy vey about Nazis and misogyny when the predictable wave of mockery and Jabba the Hut shoops come out.
 
When you cut down the last tree, knock down the last wall where will you hide when the Devil Democrat comes for you?
That operates solely on the assumption that the enemy has to obey the law.

It fails to consider what happens if he doesn't, because such a concept is anathema to polite society.

It's silly on its face if you think about it for five seconds. Why would the Devil have to obey human laws? He is a supernatural being.
 
No, it's the outcome of all the sane people having left the room. I can pretty much guarantee there was a purity spiral during the bull sessions for this outreach program that led to this outcome, because this is what has happened over and over in any left-controlled environment. It likely went down something like this:

The Democrats know that, by the numbers, they have a problem with young men, so they had a meeting on how to do outreach to young men, perhaps a dozen people were involved. Everyone agreed that the initiative should be led by a young person. But then they started discussing further identity markers. Perhaps somebody said, "Look, we need a young, white man, and a skinny dork like David Hogg." But then somebody else responded, "What, are you saying a woman of color isn't capable of leading successful outreach?"

"N...n...no, I'm not saying that at all."

"Why the fuck would you even say that, did you secretly vote for Trump?"

"No! I just meant...!"

And he was removed from the committee. The committee then assigned someone to go find a young, politically engaged woman of color. Perhaps a few were proposed, perhaps only one. For whatever reasons, the female version of Gorlock was nominated. Perhaps a couple of the less retarded committee members gave each other uncomfortable looks, but they knew that saying something meant sacrificing their jobs. And thus everyone agreed that having a fat ogre talk about abortion constantly is the way to reach young men.
The commie struggle snuggle truly never gets old. Ever. Can't just make a decision, have to ask a committee. That's how we get Gorlok.
He says it's been altered but he isn't denying it either. Nigga, you a gay faggot that takes BBC
 
An Indian VC claimed that Vance told her that America will not stop importing "highly gifted and talented" Indians:

JD and Usha Vance hosted by Indian-origin venture capitalist in Silicon Valley​

TOI World Desk / TIMESOFINDIA.COM / Updated: May 29, 2025, 07:11 IST

Vice President JD Vance's recent meeting with Indian-origin venture capitalist Asha Jadeja Motwani has drawn attention amid ongoing debates over the H-1B visa program. The meeting, which included Vance's wife, Usha Vance, took place during a family gathering where immigration policies were discussed.

Asha Jadeja Motwani is a venture capitalist in Silicon Valley with investments in over 100 tech startups. She posted a photo with JD Vance and wrote about their family gathering, in which she said she raised the issue of immigration.Usha Vance accompanied the vice president and Motwani said both of them are "humble to a fault". "JD took endless questions from about a dozen of us around the dining table and answered them patiently. I had concerns about immigration policies, and wanted to be reassured that America will not lose highly gifted and talented immigrants from foreign countries -- top brains of the world. He gets an A+" the venture capitalist wrote."

Many of us on the table had been Democrats, just like him, for over 30 years. Our departure from the Democratic Party to the center right had many resonances," Motwani said, adding that she gifted a two-inch statue of Lord Ganesha to JD and Usha.

"They loved it, and Usha told me that her older son actually wanted one...three if us hit it off beautifully for some reason," the post read.

The meeting comes amid a fresh row over H-1B programs after the USCIS released that they cleared over 120,000 H-1B visas for 2026. US tech workers complained that they are losing jobs because of the low-pay hiring that the companies make through the H-1B programs. Meanwhile, Walmart announced 1500 job cuts in tech roles triggering the row further.

We need 100 million new highly skilled workers Chud. At least you scraped the bottom of the barrel and deported the Home Depot parking lot. Make Aryans Great Again. white men simply don’t want to work anymore, they sit at home all day playing video games and watch YouTube while suckling federal healthcare’s teat. Pull yourself up by the bootstraps and get a job.

I would also like to know. My assumption is cheating by sending stuff out through other nations.
If Trump's telling the truth (he has to be — it's truth social!) then the stuff I rambled about in a completely different thread pertaining to fuel came true.

The BBC have an article out. The vague terms of the deal were:
Both the US and China confirmed they would reduce tariffs imposed on each other's imports earlier this month, following talks in Switzerland.

The deal involved both nations cancelling some tariffs altogether and suspending others for 90 days by 14 May.
There's the broad "everything" tariff but the "cancelling" may as well equate to exemptions. In the UK trade deal beef from the US was exempt up to 20000 tons (or KG?) before the tariff applied subsequently so maybe the Chinese failed to add some more exemptions, fail to decrease the tariff on some goods as promised, or even raised individual item tariffs on some items? The big one might be ICs since they're what China is reliant on exporting to make bank from trade so if they end up importing ICs instead it'd fuck them up.
 
I just learnt about property taxes.
No state is exempt from them, and if you own land or property you have to pay something like 2.5% annual tax on it (determined by market value) or else it gets foreclosed on by the government. It might be a pedantic interpretation and so the question itself might be dumb, but doesn't that mean no American actually owns their own land/property, since property tax acts essentially like "rent" to the government that you must pay?

Supreme Court allows Trump to revoke legal status of 500,000 immigrants​

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Trump administration to revoke temporary legal status granted to more than 500,000 immigrants by the Biden administration.

The court granted an emergency application filed by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that ends the Biden program that gave 532,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela permission to temporarily live and work in the United States.


The brief order noted that liberal justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.

Jackson wrote that the court had failed to take into account "the devastating consequences of allowing the government to precipitously upend the lives and livelihoods of nearly half a million noncitizens while their legal claims are pending."

The administration was contesting a ruling by Massachusetts-based U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, who ruled the administration could not sweep away each person’s status without an individualized determination.

Starting in 2022, then-Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas granted what is called parole for two years to people from the affected countries in part to alleviate the surge of immigrants arriving in the U.S.-Mexico border.

The policy, known as the CHNV parole programs, allowed immigrants who passed a security check and who had a sponsor in the United States who could provide housing, to enter the country and stay.

Solicitor General D. John Sauer said in court papers that Talwani did not have authority to rule on the issue, with Noem given authority to make her decision under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act.

The same law gave Mayorkas the discretion to allow the affected immigrants to enter and stay in the country. The Department of Homeland Security said in October 2024 that each person's parole would not be extended once their two-year approval period expired.

Noem's move to unwind the Biden action was challenged in court by individuals who would be affected as well as the Haitian Bridge Alliance, an immigrant rights group.

Their lawyers wrote in court papers that if the Trump administration action is upheld, all the parolees will immediately "become undocumented, legally employable, and subject to mass expulsion."

They noted that Talwani's decision did not prevent Noem from ending the program, only that the government could not immediately rescind the status of the people already enrolled via a single sweeping order.

The dispute is one of dozens of cases in which the Trump administration has complained about lower court judges blocking its policies even as President Donald Trump has sought to aggressively expand the power of the presidency without the authorization of Congress.
 
So, on Tuesday, right after Trump said he was cutting grants and funding to Harvard, they revoked the tenure | A of a business professor and fired her over academic dishonesty. This dishonesty was falsifying data in several of her studies published between 2012 and 2020. Strangely enough, her research focus was on honesty and ethical behavior. She had been on unpaid leave since 2023.

Turns out, right before the investigation into her studies started in 2021, she was pulling in a salary of over $1 million | A.

This is the type of person Harvard wants to bring into the US from overseas, albeit now they're swarthier than even this Italian fraud.
 
My favorite stupid conspiracy theory is that stupid conspiracy theories are themselves a conspiracy, with a whole wing of the CIA dedicated to crafting conspiracy theories and seeding them in the population via obscure forums and shitty websites for the express purpose of making conspiracy theorists look stupid.
I really do think flat earthers are the governments pet retard conspiracy theorists.

What do you think Qanon was then? It seems Qanon was a deep state diversion operation.
 
Did middle school release for summer break already?
A shocking number of people in their 30s (and not just the melanated) have no idea that property taxes even exist. This is largely down the the public education system, Boomer fail parenting and the outcome of having families (mostly single parent) that are 3rd+ generation renters.

This ignorance is also a probable key driver of the psychotic hatred of "greedy" landlords and suburban homeowners.
