Miller is a genius strategy guy and really good at pushing the MAGA agenda forward but there is no way he could be elected
Even I laugh at how villain-like he can be and I love his politics. He is exactly who we need in exactly the right role.
After the mid terms Trump/Miller really need to start putting JDVance out there so people feel it’s just a continuation of the Trump administration.
JD was picked because of his potential after Trump. I have to believe this will be the strategy.

The Dems only allow crypt keepers and mutants to run their party but MAGA is not beholden or very fond of the old “conservatives.” JD is the embodiment of that idea.
 
Showing the public the cool uniforms, gear, and toys the army gets to play with could inspire some to join up.
The vast majority of enlisted you talk to will say the grew up playing with plastic guns from when they were like 3, playing goldeneye and half life in high school, before that it was kids who grew up on star wars, etc. It's an extremely underrated part of the process.

But before video games and plastic guns and war films what got kids into weapons and war? Simple: They plated with real guns on dad's farm. Sports were also a big part of it back then though from a different angle.

the left very successfully demonized the glorification of guns for kids and "grooming" them to be fighters, but i think that messaging is falling flat now as the masses have realized that:
A: Everyone grooms kids for whatever they want them to think including slicing their own balls off and shoving toxic sludge in their guts (fast food).
B: We are not in a post violenve era like we thought we would be in the 90s.
 
Aren't these the same people who say repaying student loans is ... *checks notes* ... problematic and discriminatory for graduates who can't afford to repay them according to the loan's terms?
While the right tends to be accidentally contradictory the left its contradictory on purpose because all that matters is winning the argument.

Can we worry about what the effects of the US entering the war will be on Trump's legacy (who the fuck cares) until after we've actually entered it? FFS
I wear my bias on my sleeve but my opinion is that Israel needs the US to play good cop bad cop for now. Israel doesn't want regime change, they want a deal where Iran denuclearizes. Trump is the only path forward for that

As soon as I said this netanyahu said regime change is possible, fuck me

The left played themselves here, the kids that are capable of fighting and like firearms think of the left as faggots. Also realized that women like eunuchs as pets.
 
Wait you don't think if we get into any type of war in the Middle East it won't hurt his legacy? are you a retard? His whole thing was no more wars, that is, unless Israel needs us for Gulf War 3.0. Trump himself has a patriot act of his own called Palantir and was signed in by his "big beautiful bill" thanks to DOGE and elon for being trojan horses. If we don't get dragged into being Israel's golem, this will be his legacy alone.

Any good that Trump does will be overshadowed by him getting us into any type of war. We are already deep into the conflict on both sides. We were supposed to be out of the Middle East and even Europe but instead continued there after what, 25 years? And we are supposed to have a war with China soon, with everything stretched thin? "Trust the plan" bros when you say anything bad about Trump Cohen
it'll hurt his legacy only if there's boots on the ground
if it's just about shooting bombs and rockets and drones from a distance then nobody gives a shit
 
It cannot be overstated how minimal the progress in actual advanced aging is. Every "life extension" thing you've ever seen is a scam.
The most visceral argument against transhumanism is Bryan Johnson, a man whose neurotic scramble against aging has resulted in him looking like a debonair lesbian or an animatronic angel from a biblical theme park-- correctly sexless, obviously robotic, and unintentionally terrifying:

Clearly, Bryan has wondered away from God's light, winding up in both the uncanny and untranny valley. I can't imagine a more obvious sign of divine disapproval short of a lighting bolt.
 
BREAKING: In the past few days, Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran’s supreme leader, two US officials told Reuters.

My working theory is that Israel didn't initially want regime change but the strikes were so successful and the response so weak that they might go for it anyway
may khamenei weenie roast in a kosher barbeque. do you think that could be the logic behind them hitting one of his residences earlier on, a tacit show that they know where he lives at, but that they're not going for him right now? that was how i understood the strike when it happened, and with your insight it sounds even more accurate now.

Or...there was always plans of a regime change and Bibi's attempts at goading Trump into doing the dirty work failed. Now that they see it's possible to do it themselves, they're still pressing forward. My theory, and it's just a theory.

This is very true and hits close to home.

I was raised in a fairly left wing area (at least by 90s/2000s standards) and my parents, though great parents who I love, and with good intentions, heavily demonized guns. Columbine happenned just as i was entering kindergarten and i think that really freaked them out, and they were both raised by military families so there was probably some typical boomer hippie rebellion there. I was a hard lefty believer across the board until the mid 2010s when my first redpills started slipping in.

But I always loved guns or at least the idea of them (was too afraid to ask to be taken to a range). FPS games, movies, airsoft, the concept is just awesome, i loved war and combat in general. And for whatever reason from a young age I always understood the dynamic of: "If you are not capable of combat, you will eventually fall to somebody who is" in a way that none of my friends or family did. It was just off limits thinking to them, but i was never convinced by their arguments (which were basically non existent) . This was really the core of what led to me nooooticing.

I hate to quote hitler because i'm not a nazi and think he was a bit of a faggot but i do love the quote "when has a wolf removed his fangs because a sheep doesn't wear armor?" or whatever. That quote needs to be dropped in leaflets across the western world, just falsely attribute it to some pussy who triggers less autism like lincoln or somebody.

Anyways, i can't imagine i'm the only one with that story, there's even subreddits called 2-a leftists or whatever. They really need to figure out where they stand on that issue.

I don't know, the information coming in now keeps contradicting.

Netanyahu on the veto report: There is so much incorrect information.

National Security Council Chief Hanegbi: Reuters report that US vetoed Khamenei's assassination is a fake from the land of fakes

Love this phrasing though
 
I absolutely couldn't be bothered to follow the no kings thing, and haven't really heard anything noteworthy about it at all. Did literally anything significant come from it beyond someone in the geriatric brigade breaking a hip from being out of their rocking chair for too long?
They clapped 2 democrats for not being faggy enough, with some guy using a latex mask payday style.
