Ben Shapiro says the Department of Justice has put the Epstein mystery to rest—declaring there was no client list, no blackmail scheme, no shady fortune, and no murder.

According to Shapiro, Epstein didn’t make his money through nefarious means, didn’t target powerful people, and simply died by suicide.

He challenged skeptics, saying if you believe your elected officials are lying, “bring the evidence,” because he stands by Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, and Dan Bongino.

His message: It’s time to change your view on Epstein

Shapiro is the establishment. Always has been. Always will be.

s not real and everyone believing in this bullshit is fucking retarded, but trying to argue against basic bitch biology is just as moronic as genuinely believing in the Amerimutt meme.

Le 56 percent

You can always tell it's a slow news day when this thread reverts to sperging about Jews.

Yep

He most certainly fucked an underaged but above age of consent prostitute (17) who he thought was of age. It was set up explicitly to blackmail him and she likely knew it. The guy who set it up got convicted and Gaetz stepped down eventually over it before the congressional report was released.

It certainly damaged his rep tho, now i think he has some rumble channel grift or something?

Yeah totally man. It was a huge win. It doesn’t matter that the Israeli PM had to stand and apologize to other countries. That their methods of acquiring passports and hiding their agents get exposed and entire networks run up. It doesn’t matter that UAE police exposes the whole operation in a matter of days and identifies all of the agents.
They got the guy. Huuuge Mossad W!

Just ignore all the articles in the Israeli media talking about what a dire state of affairs the Mossad is in, and how it can be fixed.

Can't be helped if Mossad decides burning all agents to get one guy is worth it. Definitely seems like a retarded use of resources from my perspective, but I'm just a retard on the internet so maybe everything just seems retarded to me.

I have yet to find anyone who cares about what Ben Shapiro says who isn't an incredibly sheltered normie or over 40 years old

Holy fuck please just stop everyday with this fucking shit. He’s not going to stop doing this shilling just use the ignore button.

Anyone spending up to 20 hours at a time shilling a countries interests is either deeply autistic to the point they aren’t worth talking to or a literal shill

Have you considered that he's an admitted jew/Jewish Israeli person? He's arguing for his own interests. Refreshing, most of the posters running interference for them aren't jews or won't admit if they are. If it bothers people they should ignore or negrate and scroll by. He's far less annoying than all the "I'm so above it all and smart and disconnected" posters who flood in around major events.

Side note watching this thread see-saw between "its the jews" to "itz da joos" is entertaining and I'm picking up on patterns in the time of day when one or the other prevails.

It's funny because this was legitimately a marketing tagline for TSA PreCheck

That said I remember a few months, I forget the airport, they let all of us in the normal line go through without taking our shoes off, I wonder if that was a trial for this since I'm a frequent flyer and that's the only time flying in the United States that I didn't have to take off my shoes.

I just thought of something. I don't see "woke" going away from American culture. As with heavy surveillance from the PATRIOT Act after 9/11, it is ingrained as a way of life for a necessity for safety and security irrespective of its actual purpose. Some old man from yesteryear said something about sacrificing liberty for safety means you do not deserve either.

The state of Utah legalized online wedding ceremonies in Jan 2020. If you register with Utah and pay a fee, the state of Utah will conduct a civil wedding ceremony for you via Zoom no matter your physical location. This means that an Israeli couple who wanted to get married civilly now are able to stay inside Israel and have an online wedding ceremony that will be recognized by Israel. It essentially neutered the power of the religious courts to regulate marriage because all you have to do now is pay 200 dollars and file some paperwork.

When I was living in Morocco a girl I knew won the greencard lottery and she used the Utah marriage loophole to on paper gay marry her best friend so they could go to America together, it also made her deportation proof since it meant she would face criminal prosecution in Morocco for being gay.

Edited for accuracy.

Say what you want about /pol/ but because they spend so much time online, they often know quite a lot. A pale book worm in a library might be a nerd but they can be very knowledgeable.

Gotta love Asians who practically live at the library cramming their studies. They don’t care what people think, and their hard work is gonna pay off.

All Liberal types who want to teach kids sex all have that curly hair. Looks like Rebecca Sugar

TSA no longer is going to make you take your shoes off. I MOTHERFUCKING VOTING FOR THIS.

I'm going to have a blast.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

Calling @Dammit Mandrake!

But I don't want to be part of the thread meta. It sooooo gay!

I mean the real problem HJB is that right now it is Doomposting hours.

Coincides with Euro and Jeet hours.

It's fucking real... I can't even. How is this real life? AI is actively trying to replace me.
Well as long as it also comes for the furry artists that is fine by me.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

To be fair, most of our nukes don't work and rely upon outdated as fuck systems

You guys ever think this is what the US military wants people to think? That while there were some issues, the "weak military" angle is now something they lean into?

Because it sure feels like a psyop.

Remember to not look up the Mamilla pool massacre

 

[Nihil Jung]

The majority of the trials were about the Holocaust and atrocities against civilians, not about Nazi actions against military forces

I guess I missed the astrix beside the old adage that specified that "all" means "appropriate military targets only"

This is the whole point, you were just literally saying war can be completely unfair and doesnt need to be proportional, then quoted "all's fair in love and war" and are NOW are demanding certain decorums and rules. Nice floor routine in mental gymnastics there, Israel gets the gold!

In summation, I am saying no, there are indeed appropriate tactics, responses, rules of engagement and conventions that are viewed as appropriate. Call it pageantry, call it whatever you want. Many of them are stupid, performative etc. but they exist. Aside from them aiding in us keeping our humanity in the unhumanity of war they also aid in seeing the enemy as human in victory and more importantly in defeat. To ignore them is to court disaster. Stay winning.

YES! Good point I haven't heard anyone else say. Like, the Afghan withdrawal seemed intentionally screwy and maxxed to give the impression we're idiots. I still wonder exactly where all the weapons went.

I think we spent about one trillion dollars updating the nuclear triad during the Obama administration.
