Everything is political. Are you a double-folder or a triple-folder? I'm sure if there's anyone who could make it a political hot topic, it's US Politics General 2. Me? I'm above all of it. No folds for me, please.

Fold for normal bowel movements. If it's loose, you gotta crumple or it's gonna drip.

Is this why my fucking cell service is shit all the time now? Used to I could drive all the way home from work on the phone, now I can't talk for well over half the journey and I can't even keep a youtube video or audio stream buffered. With my phone reporting 4 bars of service.

This is probably due to the move away from the old, well propagating 3G and lower connections and moving everything to 4G LTE/5G. An example would be CDMA on Verizon was an analog signal, while everything now is a digital signal over the data connection, so it's more susceptible to places having spotty signal and roaming tower to tower as you drive doesn't seem to work as well on Voice over LTE.

There was never a time when Irish and Italians weren't considered white. They were just disdained by other white people, like Poles in Britain.

Hispanics who are white were always considered white, or "I Love Lucy" would have been a TV show about an interracial romance, and there weren't any of those.

The trajectory of American whiteness isn't toward inclusion but opportunistic denial. "I'm not white, I'm [whatever the law prefers]." Jews are next. They're getting their own set of laws now, like the spics got from Nixon.

Italians, Spaniards and all the other Mediterranean nations were considered not to be white going all the way back to the Moorish invasions.

Irish were not considered to be non-white, they were just considered to be undesirable, deficient whites.

Meh. Suitably late and behind the Chinese as always.

(It was first seen last year I think? As the private phone of Huawei’s CEO. Because if you can’t get to use next years gadgets, what the f is the point of being a tech CEO.)

At least we will get some nifty gadgets, phones and robots under the future benevolent CCP rule. Also: No trannies and homos. And DEF no jeets either!

muh leds

She would have broken through them like a killer in dead by daylight

Imagine being a witness to kino content and NOT FUCKING FILMING IT FOR YOUR KIWIFRENS.

I have been waiting so, so long for a chance to share this here:

P.S. Scott Adams is a faggot and a troll and I would neither have sex with him nor cure his cancer were I able.

1. At least half of if not most of our Founding Fathers were against slavery and wanted it abolished as they recognized the hypocrisy of fighting to be free from being British slaves while they themselves had slaves, even ones who owned slaves themselves, but they recognized that it wasn't a feasible thing to do in their position at the time and it would have to wait for a later date in the future to effectively tackle that issue and it eventually was taken care of obviously.

2. Restricting voting rights to people who were land owners wasn't such a crazy thing as it only allows people with real skin in the game to vote and face consequences for their votes.

3. The Presidency wasn't created to trick Americans into thinking we had a King, George Washington reminded the people constantly that there will never be Kings or crowns in America. Certain people wanted him to be the King but he always refused and shut these talks down immediately.

I thought Scott Adams was supposed to be mega based or something from all the dicksucking I see conservatives giving him, but this comic makes him seem like he doesn't know what he's talking about.

If she was 50 pounds lighter I would have risked it. It’s fair to place my life above content.

Fwiw there was an urban yoof filming so I will be patrolling worldstar to see if he uploaded it

No it isn't. I went riot touring in 2020.

Imagine promising us live chimpout footage, updating us on it live, only to cuck out and not record it.

Disappointing as fuck.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Marc Veasey (D-TX) are pushing for the epstein files to be public.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) announced Saturday he plans to introduce an amendment requiring a House vote on making the Epstein files fully public. The measure is intended to compel Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to bring the issue to the floor, forcing lawmakers to take a public position on the transparency initiative tied to Epstein’s network.

Why are the Epstein files still hidden? Who are the rich & powerful being protected?

On Tuesday, I'm introducing an amendment to force a vote demanding the FULL Epstein files be released to the public. The Speaker must call a vote & put every Congress member on record.

— Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) July 13, 2025

"Why are the Epstein files still hidden? Who are the rich & powerful being protected?” Khanna asked in his announcement.

Rep. Marc Veasey (D-TX) has also joined the push, announcing Saturday that he intends to introduce a parallel resolution aimed at securing the release of the documents.

“Either [Trump] and his acolytes fueled the rumors of the significance of these Epstein files to help his campaign, or something is there!” Veasey said. “That’s why on Monday, I’ll introduce a resolution demanding the Trump Administration release all files related to the Epstein case. Put up or shut up!”

Of course, the Democrats are seeking the release of the documents to fracture the MAGA movement. If not, Democrats would have pushed for the release during President Joe Biden's tenure.

Was this all a 5d underwater checkers move by Trump to get the dems to push for the unsealing of the Epstein files? Probably not. But you do you, if it helps you sleep at night.

For fucks sake man people claimed there was a tape of Trump having a piss gangbang with two hookers on top of Obamas bed, you don't think they'd instantly jump on the most extreme form of blackmail in existence?

I think the rumor, which it always was, was he had two hookers piss on a bed obama slept in. And it was in Russia? So that's why Trump was Putin's cocksleave.

I’m honestly 50/50 on whether the deep state got to Trump, or if he’s just a retard and started over promising.

The answer is probably both.

The trajectory of American whiteness isn't toward inclusion but opportunistic denial. "I'm not white, I'm [whatever the law prefers]." Jews are next. They're getting their own set of laws now, like the spics got from Nixon.

The law considers spics to be white. You can be spic-white or spic-black. Indios aren't recognized at all.

That is just totally brutal. Texas has been shifting purple for a while and it's clear that they're a prime target for ethnic cleansing and replacement. Yet Texan boomers are either too senile or race egalitarian to do anything at all about it.
Whenever the gauntlet has been thrown down and people subhumans are crashing out in some blue shithole killing and robbing people always say "Oh yeah? Try that in Texas!"
Fuckers actually do "try that in Texas" and nothing happens. RIP to the Lone Star state.

Texas was only ever 70% white non-Hispanic, from inception in 1850. That was down to 50% in 2000 and dipped below half 20 years ago. But it took 150 years to drop a relative 20%, but only 25 more to drop another relative 11.3%. I think it just got away from them, and 1.5 centuries of interdependence with Mexico/ Mexicans and generations of American-born Hispanics made it hard to make a popular case against it.

Hispanics who are white were always considered white, or "I Love Lucy" would have been a TV show about an interracial romance, and there weren't any of those.

I Love Lucy was considered groundbreaking at the time for exactly that reason. But it was softened somewhat because a) Desi Arnaz was Cuban, as was Ricky Ricardo, who were (and still are, largely) seen differently than other Latins/Hispanics; b) they were actually married irl, so a bit different; and c) it was funny and immensely popular.

Didn't the US used to consider Hispanics and Whites to be the same in their census data? I recall that the separation of the two was one of the reasons why the white pop seemed to drop quickly in terms of percentage.

Hispanic/Latino was and is deemed an ethnicity, not a race. Separate question on the Census, and the answer to it is either Hispanic/ Latino or Not Hispanic/ Latino. That's been around since 1980. Race was determined by government through the 1960 census, after which (1970) it became self-identified (some are still assigned, though; see below).

Beginning in 2000, you could select more than one race. What changed recently was adding "some other race"* to the white, black, asian, hawaiian/pacific islander, American Indian or Alaska native options. Also note that Middle Eastern/ North African is categorized as white, though there's also now a question on MENA specifically.

There are also now questions with

write-in areas [for sub-groups] on the questionnaire and the tabulation of detailed Some Other Race responses. These improvements allowed us to provide counts for groups that did not receive data from the race question in previous censuses.

As a result, detailed data are now available for 104 White groups (Dutch, Lebanese, etc.), 62 Black or African American groups (Congolese, Grenadian, etc.) and 22 Some Other Race groups (Brazilian, Belizean, etc.).

https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2023/09/2020-census-dhc-a-race-overview.html

* From census.gov:

The three largest non-Hispanic SOR groups (excluding Multiracial and Multiethnic responses) were Brazilian, Guyanese, and Cabo Verdean. Each of these three groups were concentrated in the Northeast region of the United States and Florida.

The vast majority of race responses (90.8%) that are classified as Some Other Race were from people who were classified as Hispanic in the ethnicity question (45.3 million out of the 49.9 million who identified as Some Other Race alone or in combination).

SOR categorization is a process that excludes write-in terms like "Irish" that can be classified under/ assigned to a race category, but includes write-in terms like "multiracial," etc. (same link as the one at the top of this footnote)

See. This is the main thing that people don't seem to think about. Even if a list WAS released, how do we actually know it's genuine, and not just a list of people Trump's been feuding with since 2016? The Democrats could release a version of the list and it'd be filled with nothing but MAGA. Literally nothing can be trusted.

This is Trump's own fault. If Pam Bondi had released all the files as they said they would in all the phases then I most likely would have absolutely believed it. After the shit Trump has said last week though? I don't know if I'll ever believe any files they put out again.

 

[Nihil Jung]

Ive looked this up and can't find anything about it, can you provide a source for that

Looking back into it, it was apparently owned by DynCorp (serial military contractor sex traffickers) and shared its tail number with an American military plane? I remember either WeveReadTheDocuments or maybe Titus Frost claiming it was Israeli owned.

 

[Margo Martindale]

Genuinely how did nick get any followers? He hasn’t grown up an still acts like an immature teen. Like how the hell was this guy seen as anything but a wimp?

Trust fund baby with too much time and money

Yes, it's from 1992, proving that he has always been a faggot troll.
