She’s hot though.

I’d honestly probably forgive the Epstein fuck up, if we got a leak of Bondi in a bathing suit.

Bondi will be a strong contender for the gooner vote in ‘28 along with Tulsi.
I don't know about that chief, I can't say I'm much into grandmas in the process of ghoulification. (Seriously though, apparently Bondi is 59-turning-60 but she looks like she's at least 10 years older than that, maybe it's the stress of covering up Epstein's underage sex slave ring. The better-known photo of her not looking like a ghoul was from the start of her Florida AG days, and that's something like ~15 years behind her now.)

ICBW, but I think the Feds generally defer to state laws regarding marijuana

Which is why you always have to pay in cash, the Feds have a genuine interest in investigating the tax fraud and money laundering implications that come with an active cash-only industry. They bust illegal gambling houses / clubs in my area every month, I imagine it's a big headache from headshops as well.

The states meanwhile are collecting taxes off of these businesses. Eventually this is gonna come to a head as the fed is gonna want those billions in taxes. I think the federal government would be a lot more reasonable about the taxes. They need to be high but not so high it drives people to go back to black market.

Trump jokes about taking away Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship:

Seriously though, my entire life growing up to now, I've never heard a good thing regarding Rosie O'Donnell. Not in media, not in news, not from anybody. I think she was even in a movie once? But yea, it's like nobody wants this bitch around, ever.

The thing is, i don't even know wtf she even does. It's like she just exists.
 

A





Karen Bass wins: Trump can no longer enforce Immigration Law in LA.

We are one ruling closer to a Federal Judge ruling Immigration Law and deportations can no longer be enforced in the US period, and that all immigrants must be given amnesty.

This is where we are. Total Lawfare to stop Trump's agenda and change the laws of the US.
Federal Agents have authority everywhere. Send ICE in and if any local hippie cops fuck with them send in the U.S Marshalls to arrest them for obstruction.

The most I remember her doing was making people confused about whether Terk was a boy or a girl in Tarzan.
 
Bondi was the one that claimed she had the list on her desk, she later claimed she never said list (she did, video was shown) and meant evidence of crimes, which she clarified later was just child porn that epstein had downloaded from the internet.
She was also the Florida AG when Epstein skated the first time, and was the one who pushed to ruin ZimmZamm's life because he had the audacity to defend himself from a crazed nigger. I hope she gets torn apart by dogs, personally.
 
Serious question: if Indians and Mexicans worked for ICE and CBP, would you be fine with them staying?
Legal mexicans? I'd be reasonable and say sure. Illegal mexicans, hell no, i'd assume they'd be way way more likely to divulge information to their illegal friends. Indians? god no, I was pretty okay with them a couple years ago but I had no idea how harmful they were. It bothers me sometimes, but I really do hate those jeets now. They all need to go, and it makes me furious that dirty son of a bitch vivek looks like he's gonna be governor of ohio. It also makes me second guess JD vance for being married to one. Between that and him being so close to Thiel, I really do distrust him. I hope i'm wrong about him, and I probably am.
 
Should be 130%. I want europoors to fucking suffer.

The thing with these tariffs are it's difficult to find the exact exclusions. With the Chinese tariffs stuff like computer components were excluded (no massive leap in graphics cards or CPUs for instance) even prior to the deal because he knew that'd take the biggest hit; it almost feels like you can tell what'll get excluded or not depending on preceding executive orders or what's getting excluded but it's difficult to find out what.

Behind machinery and cars, America's largest imports from Europe are pharmaceuticals. Now, you would think this would result in a large bump in prices, however in April Trump signed an executive order lowering their prices, maybe to pre-emptively tackle possible rising healthcare costs as a result of these tariffs? He's also expressed strong sentiments about bringing auto manufacturing back to the US, hence why he's taken no action on that front, hoping factories will drift back to the US.

The only info I could find on what a possible deal with the EU would look like is 10% but with spirits and aircraft parts excluded, but everything else still getting tariff'd. That was in April however, so maybe the deal on the table behind closed doors isn't as lenient.

I don't get it. If this is the level of professionalism we expect from a first-world country, we are doomed. Please rationalize to me the point of this sort of posting. Also rationalize to me why Trump backtracking to the Epstein files is a good thing despite his assurance of government corruption being exposed to the wild. If not, you're just as bad as me with Hillary Clinton.
 
I think this is why people need to be more accepting of legitimate criticisms of Trump.
Legitimate criticism of Trump: "Pam Bondi should not have run her mouth about 'Epstein files on her desk' just to look good for the camera. This is now a minor shitshow and an entirely unforced error."
Doomer blackpill bullshit: "If Trump can't release all the Epstein information, there was no reason to even vote for him! Besides, everyone knows he's about to issue an executive order directing ICE to stop rounding up illegals in order to help his farmer buddies, and another one to lift the cap on H-1bs to infinity to help his buddy, Elon Musk. Not to mention his MIGA foreign policy! Iran could be our best friend if he wasn't CUCKING to ISRAEL. This administration has been a total bust. Feel stupid for falling for it again yet, dummy?"

She was a big standup comic in the 80s/90s in that Seinfeld observational humor "whoa, Twinkies, amirite?" era. Ellen Degeneris was alright back then too; being able to come out of the closet killed any sense of humor either of them had because they stopped being comedians and just became lesbians. Judy Gold too at a lesser level, but pretty much any woman then who wanted to be a touring comic was a closeted lesbian.
 
Of all the hundred photos, that one is perfect. The flag. Trump’s arm matching the crane arm that supported it. His bodyguards ducking for cover or standing startled while he rises, bloodied but fearless, and heedless of further danger, urges his followers: fight. Fight. FIGHT!
Call me a emotional faggot, or whatever, but I still get chills when i watch that video. I always mostly supported trump, but I thought these "anointed by god" people were cultist and goofy; two things happened then and there. He showed the world what sort of man he was, that he wasn't some tv show character, he was a fighter, and he would tell his would be killer "FUCK YOU, YOU CANNOT BOW ME, YOU GOTTA KILL ME TO STOP ME". He showed he was protected by the hand of God, how can you watch that and not come to the conclusion he damn near given the divine right to rule, how can he lose the election.
 
I don't get it.

And we love you.

As for rationalizing the behavior, here it is, short and sweet: Behavior rewarded is behavior repeated. This kind of behavior is what people cheer for. What they tune in for. And what they vote for.
We are never, ever, ever going back to the Old Ways. The days of the polite fiction and "held to a higher standard" and "respect the office" and all that jazz. Every election is going to be a damn meme war and every administration is going to be staffed by shitposters.

The problem is both sides of this issue just want le epic own and they want it right now. No one wants to wait and see where the next 3 years takes us. Everyone wants to be the person that always knew trump was going to win or fail . No one wants to be the person that was wrong
 
My part of Kiwi Land is one where cities are allowing the maximum allowable number of pot shops to open ASAP. There are so many in close proximity to each other in the big cities and suburbs that the supply is too high and going rate had dropped like 30% in the past year - making it almost impossible for small operators to make a profit. When they can't stay open, their only options are to liquidate or hope a bigger operation absorbs them because pot shops can't file for bankruptcy due to marijuana still being illegal at the federal level. All this is notwithstanding the random pot smells that waft, linger, and smell worse than a dead skunk.
People legit thought that legalizing pot would mean brown people stop getting arrested for slinging dope, when it actually just means consolidation of the cannabis business into large, international corporations, and the brown people just find other crimes to commit.
