Is Elon a Jew too? I fully understand the leftist Jew old money, but it's not everything. There's a ton of money involved, I'd say a vast majority by now, that's not Jewish. I know that old antisemitism that 'It's all the Jews' runs deep and hard though, so it's not a logical thing that can be discussed.
Jews possess a more united international front than say, some random billionaire in California and one in Russia who are simply far less likely to collude on anything.

If you read Henry Ford's book he discusses how this shocked him. He was no stranger to shrewd business practices but he had business partners in other countries. In one situation he was dealing with a Jew in one country and they were doing general business whatever about cars. Ford was doing the same in a different country. These two business partners had no knowledge of each other or prior relationship before they did business with Ford.

But they were Jews. I forget the exact details but it had to do with supplying Ford whatever to make cars. One of the Jews subverted their deal at great expense and this did not gain him any money. The opposite in fact. But it gave the other Jew great leverage in bending Ford over the barrel on the other deal. Two individual businessmen like the Californian and Russian I mentioned above are extremely unlikely to do this.
 
The system is collapsing and everyone knows it. It's not a matter of if but when. This is why alot of Zoomers are having nostalgia moments over the 2000s when everything seemed optimistic and bright. Boomers had the chance to make something and ruined it, and then call Zoomers lazy. Some of it they were right about, but a lot of it is out of touch. No sorry if Zoomers don't want to join in some protests like it's Woodstock '69
Yeah, I can tell it's not going to last forever; recently, I nearly burned through $100 within an hour on gas and food from Winn Dixie (that was with me deliberately looking for sales in the store and using my membership to get discounts). That leads into the question of what is it going to be replaced with when it eventually does collapse? All of us are going to be in big, big trouble when it does, and it wouldn't surprise me if we're in a soft depression right now. - What the US has right now cannot be fixed at this point by voting your way out of it, or by some other means that are currently in place.

EDIT: Would also like to apologize for deliberately escalating slap fights in this thread last night and making things worse by reviling people back. Not a good thing to do for more reasons than one.

Miller is a genius strategy guy and really good at pushing the MAGA agenda forward but there is no way he could be elected. He isn't very personable and doesn't give the mushy non-answers that politicians give to get elected.

After the mid terms Trump/Miller really need to start putting JDVance out there so people feel its just a continuation of the Trump administration.
I said it before and I'll say it again, JD Vance needs to leverage his constitutional power to buckbreak the Senate into supporting Trump's agenda. Remaking the Senate to support the MAGA agenda and disempower obstructive neocons and Dems would demonstrate how he'd act as a continuation of Trump if elected.
 
Check 'em.

@Crex Crex there's your answer. Official.
I wouldn't even conflate the "no kings" protests with a wet fart. A wet fart has consequences, unlike these protests that will have no lasting effects.

The "no kings" protests were not just isolated to the United States. They were supposed to be a world wide event with thousands of protests around the western world. It masqueraded itself as a multinational international peoples movement. But unlike the Summer of love 1.0 or the other riots of the past it lacked any real grass roots movements and had none of the funding. Nearly no one outside of current tinderbox flashpoints (LA in the US and some other locations) showed up, they couldn't even get something going in Chicago or New York. There's almost no international news even covering it because nothing happened in Europe.

It's such an abysmal failure of a movement that they will probably try to pretend it didn't happen/exist in 6 months. Just like the 50501 protests that were so bad they had to spin it into a long form "movement" instead of a protest because it performed so poorly.

this cannot be stressed enough. the death of infinity gibs to any pet cause a democrat wanted to fund has been a huge problem for them, and it's the reason that doge earned so much gnashing of teeth over the funding machine having rubber chickens thrown into the gears.

I agree protesting is generally pointless, especially here, but I live in a small city in the north east and thousands of people still showed up. Older on average, and kind of confused on exactly why they were there, but there nonetheless.

It really is just a social event for them.

Retired Boomers live in their bubbles as the world burns to the ground around them. But now the bubble has "popped" so to speak now that they are nervous about Social Security cuts. They must know in the back of their minds Zoomers cannot find jobs to pay for their borderline pyramid scheme anymore.

It is jews/elite. I think old white elites saw the game jews were playing and decided it was a winning one. Kind of like wiggers try to imitate nigger culture. It is still jews at the root of it. Theyre a tiny percent of the warm bodies but 99% of the influence.

Just finished watching the parade video. It was glorious. There’s also a dog on a horse.
Was not expecting to enjoy the parade but the PBS stream had the old timey announcer/historian narrating the parade it was actually pretty cool.

I'll be the first to admit, probably like 99% of us here, I was having a few beers and enjoying the parade like anyone else. Nothing wrong with it, tho it makes for a little extra energy with the boozin'.

We could all do with dialing it the fuck back a notch. Sure, call each other faggots here and there, but I'm here to talk politics and learn. Call me a faggot for it. We don't aktually don't have to down-toot everything that doesn't align perfectly with our viewpoints.

To add, we don't have to love war to acknowledge that military hardware is cool af. The US went from some backwater rural prairie-ville to the the greatest empire the world has ever seen. All in about 200 years. Not everything was pretty about that rise to power but fuck, what an accomplishment and we've done some good.
