[Dammit Mandrake!]

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.

I think that comic is over 30 years old.

It’s fair to place my life above content.

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

Kids these days.

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

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.

"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 Ugly One]

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.

 

[Friend of Dorothy Parker]

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.

more important voices are also speaking out

So it was an American helicopter

Really gets that noggin joggin'.

We've already talked about the autopen at length in this thread, it was pretty much all confirmed already, none of us doubted it because it was obviously true.

I'd still question the authenticity of it. Especially if it held more Democrat names than Republican, which is what a lot of the administration is implying whenever they talk about it. And that makes me question government even more.

 

[Made In Wales]

Oh well, the Banks like Trump over his new Crypto speech.

Can't all be bad then.

Maybe, if the list had nothing but Democrats. But Trump ran on transparency with Epstein and everything in government really, he hadn't given us a reason to doubt it. Trump has only given me personally a reason to be skeptical of him last week trying to cover it up. Call me optimistic but I didn't really believe that Trump's administration would try to frame any Democrats because it isn't necessary to frame them when they are blatant criminals, and Trump's own actions show that he doesn't really want to actually hurt the Democrat party anyway.

 

[Keezy Deez]

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

Everything is political, but yet nothing is political, the old Kissinger's Dog thought experiment.

 

[Turkey Beef]

A neoliberal thought he would go up against Border Czar Tom Homan, interrupting him at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa Saturday night. He held up a photoshopped picture of Homan with MS-13 tattoos and asked, “Are you an MS-13 member?”

The shitlib asked for it. Homan gave it to him:
https://xcancel.com/RedWave_Press/status/1944169951331594742

This must have left some bruise:

“They’ve got morons like this all over the country. This guy wouldn’t know what it’s like to serve this nation. This guy ain’t got the balls to be an ICE officer. He hasn’t got the balls to be a Border Patrol agent. This guy lives in his mother’s basement. The only thing that surprises me is you don’t have purple hair and a nose ring. Get out of here you loser.”

Afterward, the libshit returned to the polyamorous cubicle in his mom’s basement, where he sought solace in rimming, fisting and double fisting, and afterwards seething and malding about Mean Daddy Homan in the Trump Enslavement Syndrome thread.
