It’s not JUST Epstein.

Trump won by a slim majority because he gathered a vast coalition of folks who were fed the fuck up with the system.

Aside from GOP voters and immigration hawks, it includes disaffected Republicans, Democrats and independents.

They voted Trump because he was seen as a non-system candidate. Actual change maker.

The more Trump does RINO/system politician shit like bombing other countries, sending weapons and money abroad, ignore issues like Epstein, the more likely they are to go: Fuck this shit, Trump is just like the rest of them.

It’s really that simple.
This is why leftists have won consistently against the right this century in the West. Not only are conservatives consistently playing defense and not going for the win, the populist faction crashes out if it doesn’t go perfectly. In contrast the left believes it’s a long march so they just need a few Ws to keep them motivated.

The system intentionally tries to demotivate young men and conservatives because they don’t want them to vote while simultaneously building a network that encourages their favored serfs to vote and organize. Unfortunately even with the wins the right has had, it isn’t as organized as it needs to be. (Again a large part of this was the lawfare waged by Obama).

Despite this weakness I’m optimistic. There’s a palpable momentum shift. We just need to build on the good.

I don't know exactly what the game is, but it is definitely a game.

He's definitely screwing with someone, there's no reason to assume it's about tricking you personally.
 
we can't just catapult people over the border wall
Not with quitter talk like that!

I told my uncle at the DHS that we use some of that ICE funding to build the largest trebuchet,that the laws of physics would allow, and chuck them towards the sun. Then sum lanky nerd from NASA SatNav told us that they would really prefer if a bunch of human sized objects didn't suddenly start littering LEO.

I would unironically support the removal of illegals and criminals via trebuchet, it would be very funny.

Throwing illegals into the sun is dumb, you're polluting the greatest source of energy that sustains complex life on Earth.

They're better off deflecting incoming asteroids or comets. :smug:

I think that's exactly the issue, it's not an air quality thing. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, but it's not toxic or anything. In fact, it's what plants crave!
We've actually been running at historic lows of CO2 in the atmosphere. I believe we got down to the 220ppms in the 40s and 50s. At below 160ppm the plants suffocate and everything dies. We're in the 400s now and it's driving massive amount of greening and record crop yields and such because CO2 is plant food. For reference, a greenhouse's ideal CO2 range is 1200ppm. It's a tiny part of our atmospheric mix and a weak greenhouse gas.

CO2 shouldn't be so worrisome if it was dumped slowly and progressively, giving plants and ecosystems to adapt without causing mayor damage to human settlements. And it doesn't last if plants are allowed to grow and capture it.

What keeps me nervous are the other greenhouse gases, specially methane. Not only methane is around four times stronger, methane isn't easily decomposed by organisms with chlorophyll, staying on the atmosphere for much longer. And there are massive pockets of it under permafrost and the seafloor, waiting to be released.

Methane makes up 0.000179% of the atmophere by volume, 0.000099% by mass and is less than 2ppm. I'm super worried about Methane.

IDk if this has been posted but guess what breaking news, French are being gay

Not a great surprise, France has pretty consistently been in favor of a Palestinian state existing even before they started flooding their streets with ragheads & shitskins. Though ironically they also used to be Israel's primary patron, way bigger than the US originally (they were the ones who helped most actively with Israel's nuclear program IIRC), from the initial independence war up until about the 60s.

Imagine worrying about a fucking gas in the air. Imagine that occupying one second of your brain.
