New EO includes possibility to institutionalize homeless fentdroids - I think this is a good idea.

The point of outlawing putting petrol in drink bottles is to keep people from poisiong themselves. Ever seen someone take a drink from a mountain dew bottle filled with pesticide? Not pretty (they were ok after having their stomach pumped)

Get a real man's safety gas can!

EPA

The EPA is a bureaucratic monstrosity that makes the lives of everyone, especially business owners and farmers, miserable. Though created as an agency to safeguard the environment, it has become inherently anti-human, weeping over dead grass as Americans suffer under the legal and financial weight of endless regulations. It alone has caused irreversible damage to agricultural industries.

keep people from poisiong themselves

Fuck you this is America I have the right to poison myself! Retards not killing themselves is why we live in clown world now.

The original Nazi jerry can still remains one of the most underappreciated feats of German engineering. Quick to fill, quick to use, easy to store, minimal leakage. Maybe Null can start collecting them along with reichsmarks.

It alone has caused irreversible damage to agricultural industries.

The EPA's problem is they pretty much solved all the real problems in the 1990s. After that they had to keep inventing new rules and bullshit to justify their continued existence.
Where I grew up the river used to change different neon colors depending on what the factories up stream where making. General Electric was dumping PCB loaded transformer oil in to the storm drains that ended up in the river. The city had a fully combined sewer system that just dumped raw sewage in to the river every time it rained. The rocks where black and not even vegetation grew on the riverbanks.
Now 30 years later the river is alive. People fish and boat in it again. That is something real that the EPA did that actually made peoples lives better.
Now they are making retarded gas cans and trying to regulate cow farts.

Maybe is was the factory closing down that fixed the river? Transformers aren't made in the US anymore.

Drug dealers sell addictive poisons which inevitably kill people, resulting in countless deaths from overdose and medical complications across the United States. They peddle slow suicide through pleasure. I could care less about their welfare.

Drug dealers are usually addicts themselves. The evil dealer who hangs outside schools to hand out free samples is a cartoonish fabrication and not real life.

In fact, I would rejoice at the prospect of making drug dealing an offense punishable by death.

Hey now: Purdue and Teva may be scumbags, but they have rights just like anyone else.

I’ve seen drugs erode people, including those who didn’t even take them. I have no sympathy for the deaths of criminals who actively destroy homes and lives.

Even if you don’t care about the lives of users (which would of course raise a very obvious point: Why care if they use at all?) you should care about how many of tax payers money are wasted on this.

And for the record, automatic death sentences for drug dealing would cost even more than locking them up for decades.

And it of course wouldn’t help beyond satisfying some weird sadistic tendency. China and Singapore regularly sentence drug dealers to death. And still deal with drug smuggling and selling.

i bought my first gas can recently and I thought for sure I was just completely fucking retarded, but then I discovered that no the EPA fucked that up too during my travels.

You can buy non retarded lids/spouts on eBay for them. I swear the EPA compliant ones get worse every year.

Spent more money fixing the damn thing then I paid for it that is for damn sure. Its enough to make a man buy a Subaru goddammit.

But do they have entire tent cities in every town filled with zombies stealing everything in sight?

The worst thing about the south Park stuff is they committed the cardinal sin, ignoring the most important rule of making fun of trump: You have to actually be funny.

I've listened to plenty of people making fun of Trump. People who like him, people who don't like him, people who support him, and people who don't. I laugh routinely even if it's clearly meant to be a jab because they don't like him.

It's not even hard. There's plenty to make fun of, he's a bombastic guy. But he's also recognizable, and has a very identifiable personality.

He has a big ego, he loves bawdy gold shit, he makes weird statements, he does a ton of cameos, he loves models, he goes off on people who get on his bad side, he comes up with funny/juvenile nicknames for people who annoy him, he has a distinct speaking style, he oozes New York.
There is so much material it's like comedy easy mode.

Yet despite all that they go for... he has a small dick and some rehashed situation from years ago? You could swap out Trump with literally anyone else and it would be the same exact joke. It's criminally unfunny. They do nothing with it. There's nothing uniquely Trump about it so why even mention him at all?

Waste of fucking air time. Pisses me off. If you're going to make fun of Trump please for the love of God at least be funny.

I think the idea isn’t so much that they’re making actual jokes, it’s that they’re essentially trolling Trump, and his ensuing spergout IS the point, at least theoretically.

Southpark still pissing off Republicans all these years later.

 

[SITHRAK!]

I think it's a stretch to say Trump promised it "incessantly", but releasing the Epstein list was one of Trump's campaign promises. Not just from Trump, but from JD Vance, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, and Pam Bondi

I could be wrong. I’d be happy to be proven wrong. As I’ve stated in many other posts I think his handling of this issue was incredibly ham-fisted and it’s done considerable damage to him and the Republicans.

So, I’m asking for specific examples where Trump clearly and unambiguously stated, as part of his campaign, that he would release the Epstein files if elected.

I keep being told it was an election promise by a dozen or more posters here, and when I ask them to show me where, I get equivocation, bluster, ad homs, half-truths and lies.

It’s really simple. Anyone claiming that Trump made the files’ release a core promise needs to show their working. Burden of proof and all that.

"who watches southpark after the YEARS of unfunny Randy weed farm"

The "Tegrity Farms arc was absolute shit. Although Randy thinking he's Lorde was fucking kino.

Season 18 was the last I could take of South Park. When they started doing the PC Principal and Garrison as Trump shit it just didn't feel right anymore, felt like their heart wasn't in the show anymore. I wish they just ended it there.

At least Stick of Truth is still good.

As a man, you're not allowed to. Only lesbians drive Subarus.

Lesbians primarily drive Outbacks, Foresters are typically middle aged folks with 2-3 kids. So he could theoretically get one
