I believe they know generally that natives vote Republican more often

I was actually suprised at this, especially once I saw how many of them voted for the orange man. Why though? I would think they would have an ironclad relationship with the dems, and the whole stolen land thing would stroke egos .could it be because of their casino businesses?

The US is not crowded, there is tons of space and underutilized real estate within current settled areas.

Nobody sane wants everywhere that currently doesn't fit the description, to turn into an urban bughive.

Which is what you're saying-without-saying here, in case anyone doesn't understand what 'underutilized real estate within current settled areas means', it means tenements. Row-housing if you're lucky where you can barely fit between your 'house' and your neighbor's 'house'.

Government of Pakistan Recommends President Donald J. Trump for 2026 Nobel Peace Prize

The Government of Pakistan has decided to formally recommend President Donald J. Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis.

The international community bore witness to unprovoked and unlawful Indian aggression, which constituted a grave violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, resulting in the tragic loss of innocent lives, including women, children, and the elderly. In exercising its fundamental right to self-defense, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyanum Marsoos—a measured, resolute, and precise military response, carefully executed to re-establish deterrence and defend its territorial integrity while consciously avoiding civilian harm.

At a moment of heightened regional turbulence, President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation, ultimately securing a ceasefire and averting a broader conflict between the two nuclear states that would have had catastrophic consequences for millions of people in the region and beyond. This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker and his commitment to conflict resolution through dialogue.

The Government of Pakistan also acknowledges and greatly admires President Trump’s sincere offers to help resolve the longstanding dispute of Jammu and Kashmir between India and Pakistan—an issue that lies at the heart of regional instability. Durable peace in South Asia would remain elusive until the implementation of United Nations Security Council resolutions concerning Jammu and Kashmir.

President Trump’s leadership during the 2025 Pakistan India crisis manifestly showcases the continuation of his legacy of pragmatic diplomacy and effective peace-building. Pakistan remains hopeful that his earnest efforts will continue to contribute towards regional and global stability, particularly in the context of ongoing crises in the Middle East, including the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Gaza and the deteriorating escalation involving Iran.

You compliment a country once...

There are two guys. One shouts "Hey fucker - how's it going you dipshit?". The other man comes up to you pats you on the head, gives you a sweetie and says "I'll care for you."

Which man do you instinctively want to get the fuck away from you the most?

"Groups like this interfere with ICE's ability to keep communities safe."

Then make an example out of them.

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Google and Meta analytics already know everything about you.

If you use the internet, PRISM can find out who you are. 5 Eyes Governments also outsource search requests to each other, so that they don’t even have to use warrants.

The Wild West ended years ago.

If they're officially government officials now rather than independent contractors, then we may have more legal remorse to stop government spying on us. I don't think that's actually going to happen, but in theory it should be easier to sue if they hold military positions and aren't private citizens.

Smug piece of shit has none of Trebek's wit or charm. He's imminently disposable -- he had a female co-host for awhile who did just fine who could easily take over his undeserved spot.


I particularly enjoyed it when he told a Daily Show "correspondent" (who was trying to do a bit on him) to go back to college to get an education.

What I liked about Trebek (among many other things) was that while he was smart and I'm sure learned a ton of trivia over the years, you could tell he respected the contestants and didn't think he was more intelligent or above them. Jennings smirks with glee when they can't answer ridiculously written questions or don't know some super esoteric speck of info that only he knows. Also--his tweets show he's a real POS.

I didn't mind Mayim Bialik as a cohost. She was a bit perky but she also gave off the vibe that she was rooting for the contestants instead of lording over them. I thought the PR line was that audiences didn't like her but I'm not so sure about that--maybe Jennings just didn't want to share.

Aaron Rogers would have been amazing.

lets hope Trump takes the remainder of these two weeks and realizes bombing Iran would be retarded

Its is interesting to see the various factions all varying for Trumps attention / influence. So far it appears Vance & Bannon are the biggest supporters of not bombing Iran (and seem to be winning).

*Eh. Fuck it. So long as there's less immigrants.

*Not American

If we get less immigrants that’s a win.

If you look at western states compared to eastern, s good chunk, if not the majority of the state is owned by the federal government. So that’s why you’ll see people in Nevada and Utah pushing this.

That’s because this neocon shit has zero (0) grass roots support outside of aging power liches, dual citizens, the political class and political science dorks.

There is a reason support for this shit evaporates you turn off the tv or get off twitter.

I almost hope we do invade Iran just so these retards can see how truly unpopular it is when midterms come around and it’s it a total wipe out

Thanks for proving that Trump supporters are uneducated.

The lib fallacy about Trump selling federal land is that it's supposedly national parks, but I don't think anyone's talking about paving over Yellowstone

It's more like "All these hundreds of miles of grazing ground in Nevada are owned by the Federal Government so all farmers there have to pay the government for grazing permits, but also the government can just say fuck you no farmers get to graze here anymore so all the farms with literally nowhere else to graze their animals are ruined, and also no one voted for this and no one can vote against this or appeal it because this is the government's own property, so you have to pay at a toll booth to go to and from your home" and Trump is saying "How about we let those farmers actually buy and own the land they live off of?"

The likelihood of all the land being bought up by BlackRock/China is another problem

Our lands should be sold to citizens for their own benefit and enrichment and not to foreigners or (((Investment Firms))). Sincerely fuck anyone who is okay with this

This narrative willfully or unwillfully ignores the fact that islamic terrorism has been ramped up because of the establishment of Israel in 1948,

What if it has more to do with the insane infusion of wealth from the oil trade activating the population than it does some tiny sliver of land with a population of 30,000 in 1948 getting Hymie'd? Pouring money on a population is like pouring gas on a fire.
