BREAKING: REP. DON BACON (R-NE), ONE OF THE FEW HOUSE REPUBLICANS REPRESENTING A DISTRICT KAMALA HARRIS WON AND A STAUNCH CRITIC OF TRUMP'S UKRAINE POLICY, ANNOUNCES HE WON'T SEEK RE-ELECTION IN 2026
This could be somewhat of a big deal considering that the Republicans barely control the House of Representatives currently. Every seat matters at this point.
 
Coping real hard. We aren't fencesitters either. When my generation is old enough to become politicians you'll regret your stances for better or worse.
That's what Gen-X said.

And the Boomers and Silent Gen faggots froze us out of politics to the point where we still aren't in power in most places and levels of government.

I wish you better luck than we had.
 
ok but if some state wants to mark KF as an adult site that shouldn't accessible to minors and needs an id check this ruling allows them to do
so. MtG still thinks we swatted her
you have to look at all scotus rulings through the lens of "will this fuck me and my interests?" and not "i scored an ideological goal"
This is your mind on porn. First they came for the porn. And I didn't speak up. Now they came for the Kiwi Fruit Fourm. It's ridiculous. And we would fight in court retard.
 
So I just saw somewhere that a general (current, retired, different country idk) is now saying US didn't use bunker buster bombs... What the fuck else would they have used?
i would love to see them try and say the US didn't use bunker busters, but nuclear weapons, in some kind of attempt to justify why there's tons of highly enriched uranium in fordow. that would be amazing.

GenX is politically unviable because we consider every group larger than 3 people to be a cult.

We can help in other ways.
 
Idk, about that dude, but from first hand experience screening and interviewing candidates, the group that much under ~33 right now legit think typing with their thumbs and doing everything through an app, "in the cloud" on someone else's computer constitutes technological literacy.

What's a directory structure? SQL query? Zip a file? Text formatting? Oh! I have a web app I can upload the proprietary, federally regulated information to in order to format the text!

iTunes, Netflix, Steam sales and smartphones fuckin' murdered computer literacy.
100%. I’m still an idiot and barely know anything, but I read a book recently on how you get from logic gates to modern pcs and I felt like my third eye was opened. The computer may be the single most useful and powerful thing ever invented and every retard-friendly feature you accept gives that power away. Every ad you sit through instead of blocking it, every video you want to keep that the site tries to prevent you from downloading, every bit of privacy you give away without a vpn, every file you store on someone else’s server—often paying for the privilege. Just learn a single command line program instead of relying on whatever shitty tool you can dig up on the App Store and you will see what you are missing. Every user-friendly feature is there to make you forget you own a very powerful machine and you don’t have to cede that control to anyone else.

Sorry for sperging but I’ve become really passionate about it. Computers are awesome.
 
As a lesbian, I never really understood why Civil Unions specifically had to be changed to "Marriage". To me, marriage seems more like a religious concept, and a civil union (with all the legal benefits of a marriage) is no different. Forcing the state to define "Gay Marriage" as a thing, feels like the state interfering with religion, if that makes any sense?

CS Lewis made this point in the 50s, that what the world was calling "marriage" was becoming so different from marriage in the traditional religious sense that a making a clear distinction would be better for everybody.

however, even aside from the very, very basic cultural infrastructure reasons our Western system doesn't want to create new categories of association it must respect, it's just a huge pain in the ass. it's bureacratically easier to pervert and destroy marriage, it means way less paperwork.
 
null is literally so high strung he's banning people for cheese posting and that's without a component of the biggest superpower in the world coming after his site. you're gonna give him a heart attack
All I'm saying is the farms isn't something to be pushed around. Calm your tits. Someone gave me a stupid hypothetical. I gave them the logical conclusion. I hope it doesn't happen and I don't think it would.

While you all are faffing about with the threat of communist muslim sharia takeover in New York, Bannon and Gaetz called for regime change in Israel.

thumbnail your shit

regime change in israel is a joke. who are you going to replace bibi with? Lapid is a retard, Bennet is a bigger hawk than Bibi, Gallant is a hawk, Gantz can't even hold his own party together, Smotrich/Ben Gvir are extremist hawks

this is something that sounds radical and smart to people who don't know anything about Israel, Netanyahu is the most moderate and patient player in Israel which is why he endured people calling him a pussy for 13 years for not striking Iran only to hit iran at the exact right moment
 
Jackson's dissenting opinion is even worse than thought:

View attachment 7566967
I am calling it now, she will have a nigger moment so large she will be forced to resigned. Her frequent courtroom interruptions, her wild takes that go beyond the other shitlib justices, unprofessional legal writings, and the fact other judges are calling her out. She will chimp out before Trump's term is over.
