You’re too demoralized to discuss how wrong things are and try to work out novel solutions so we should organize into hugboxes and echo chambers and pretend we’re winning? Claiming victory while things continue to decline? You’re such a faggot lmao
Sammich is right: you're a fucking sperg.
Why does the leg dox include thigh? Seems kinda gay
Because he's an idiot.
 
The mass deportations crowd is probably only what… A third of the base? Don’t forget how many Hispanics voted Trump.

If you present it in the right way and massage the message right, yeah: Many who voted Trump would vote for Mamdani candidate.
(See also former Obama voting Trump voters.)

Instead of “Mass deportations!” You do: “Respect our borders! But a pathway to work permits for law abiding, hardworking migrants!”

And as for all the previous cringe “we’re all colonizers!” You just flip the script and start talking about wages and prices. “Fox News may care about a ten year old tweet… But I care about a fair America with decent wages and kicking out the billionaires and elites who’ve been lying and stealing for decades blah blah”.

“But they won’t buy it!”

Oh yes they will. All the pussygrabbing and other sound bytes never stopped Trump, a NYC billionaire himself, because folks hoped he would shake things up.

You know what DID make a lot of folks go Hey WTF? The Epstein list.

Since Trump cucked out, they’ll go for another non-system candidate.
Hispanics are more often than not anti illegal immigration you dipshit.
 
FEMA to require states use terrorism prevention funds for migrant arrests

WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) - The Federal Emergency Management Agency will require states to spend part of their federal terrorism prevention funds on helping the Trump administration arrest migrants, as part of the U.S. president's transformation of the agency.

This is latest example of the Trump administration tying its goal to arrest migrants to federal funding for states.

States must spend at least 10% of their funds from the Homeland Security Grant Program on enforcing immigration laws “against all inadmissible and removable aliens,” according to an agency announcement. They can use it for tasks that support President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration, including to construct detention facilities or set up partnerships between police officers and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to the post.

States have until Aug. 11 to apply for their portion of $373.3 million, according to the post.

Congress established the Homeland Security Grant Program before Trump took office to help states prepare for and respond to terrorist attacks. All 50 states receive the funds annually. In the past, they have used the money to buy security cameras, firefighting foam equipment and computers, among other needs, according to statements from state officials.

Reuters asked the White House press office whether Congress intended the funds be spent on migrant arrests. The office referred Reuters to FEMA.

Anybody who still believes in any secret depopulation conspiracies after living through COVID when they chose to bankrupt the globe to keep already-dying 80yo's alive one more month is an imbecile.
But it's more fun to LARP as potentially one of the few survivors after a government extinction program fails and spend the last 5 years of my life living out my dreams as a totally bad ass freedom operative saving America one white woman's womb at a time.
 
Pam Bondi has filed official misconduct complaint against Judge Boasberg, he's the dude trying to hold Trump in contempt for not "turning those planes around" when he ordered it.

Bondi submits that Boasberg contacted Cheif Justice Roberts and tried to sway him in regards to the ruling the SCOTUS put out which if true is completely verboten.

I wonder if Roberts will cover for Boasberg, they obviously know each other privately somehow if Boasberg is able to just call up Roberts whenever he wants, or will he throw Boasberg under the buss.

Lets see where, if anywhere, this goes.

 
Elon Musk is getting rid of this stupid distinction at his companies:

Not sure how I feel about this.
Idk about SpaceX, but from a lot of the companies I see, a "Researcher" is a senior to very-senior level role that typically focuses on discovering vulnerabilities, potential new implementation, data analysis, etc.
A lot of time in engineering is spent on designing, implementing, testing, and maintaining things that are pretty much understood. To put it simply, most of engineering is doing things engineers already know how to do, at least in my experience.
There's not often much time to experiment outside of a few pre-determined solutions, and a lot of that comes down to tweaking the chosen solution to fit expectations. Most solutions aren't made by the engineers that use them, they are bought or licensed because it's just waaaay easier to make them work.

Researchers on the other hand from my understanding have the luxury to actually experiment and look for alternative solutions since their deliverables aren't based on profit but instead are based on results and data collection.
