Tldr Israeli right doesn't like having to rely on a foreign ally for protection and wants US aid to be cut so that they can work on indigenous projects that fits them better and aren't under threat of changing opinion.

It's not about money.

It's about them using American resources/military assets to rile more shit up in the middle east.

The way these people (neocons) captured out national response after 9/11 is really depressing to reflect on. At the moment of 9/11, the entire country was unified, racism was solved, the world had our back, anything could have happened. And the worst people in the country used it as an opportunity to kick off the Great Decline.*

* Obviously things weren't totally rosy and we had other problems like being off the gold standard and the looming housing collapse, but still.
That’s why it is important to understand who you are voting for. Who would be in their cabinet should they win an election?

George W. Bush was an empty vessel. The neocons made sure to pair him with Dick Cheney who essentially controlled the administration whilst doing the bidding of the lousy jews. GW Bush’s administration was rife with jews. The utterly pointless (for the US) Iraq War was engineered by a cabal of jews inside (and outside) of the Bush administration because Saddam Hussein was paying off the families of suicide bombers in Palestine.
 
The most dangerous thing about pot is that it has the ability to make you think that it's not a drug and that you're not addicted until it turns you into a fucking junkie retard.
The most insufferable fucking people that I've ever been around are those permanently stoned weed brahs who are so stupid they make you do that thing where you sigh and put your thumb and forefinger on the bridge of your nose.
Its the same with junk food. It makes you fatter and lazier. Worst still it is actually the leading cause of death in our country. When will it be outlawed. I need to see people's door kicked down at 3am because of a cheeseburger!

>65 billion in foreign aid no thank you? Israel is thriving
>What do I need 100 billion for? I am fine
>250 billion? I simply couldn’t
>okay I’ll be back for the trillion you owe me tomorrow goyim
 
Meanwhile, the RIFs case out in California continues to drag on (reductions in force, firings of government employees during/because of the shutdown, with the extremely-well-funded unions suing the Trump administration). Today, both sides filed a joint status update as ordered...

1762993814384.png
And while it is not a lengthy document, it still manages to cram plenty of the same union bitching into the relatively-brief filing. "The agencies are lying, they are hiding RIFs, they are misconstruing the court's orders," yadda yadda. Evidently the defendants (the numerous government agencies) have promised to file a buttload of additional declarations today (so far, they have not) to assuage some of the unions' concerns. Regardless of what they will file or have already filed, the unions remain adamant that the defendant agencies are continuing to hide RIFs information that they have supposedly been planning, discussing, thinking about, and/or fantasizing about in their hot tubs in violation of the Clinton-appointed lady judge's orders. The defendants blithely insist that whatever they're going to file today, November 12, should clear up any concerns. They're supposed to have yet another hearing on Friday.

As far as I've been able to determine, there has still been no movement to request a stay of any of the orders or the injunction in this case to a higher court. I don't know why. Are they just dragging their heels hoping the government will re-open making this whole discussion moot? Or are they afraid because of the massive influence of the unions, they won't get a desirable result?
Late last night in the RIFs case (unions suing the government over reductions in force during the shutdown), defendants (the Trump admin) followed through on their promise to submit further declarations (thirty-nine separate attachments to their filing). However, they also submit that the case should essentially be over since Trump ended the shutdown last night:

It remains to be seen how the plaintiffs (the unions) and the judge (owned by the unions) will respond. Likely they will insist on dragging the case out as long as possible regardless, because as I pointed out earlier in this thread, those provisions of the amended CR seem to allow for RIFs to start happening again at the end of January after all. And the unions have plenty of money to burn, so why not? 🤷‍♂️

I support legal weed for a multitude of reasons, mainly that the damage caused by keeping a relatively benign recreational drug illegal is worse than the damage of having it be legal. Cartels and gangs thrived off illegal weed, giving people felonies for it was imo too harsh a punishment (depending on the situation), and criminalization did stifle scientific research on the plant itself.
However, we never considered that it may have been too much to ask people to act like responsible adults in literally any aspect of their hedonist lives.
I’d rather smoke than drink as it’s less harmful overall, but we need to actually enforce the laws we have around alcohol on weed. No public use, no public intoxication, no driving high, no reselling to teens. Just follow basic fucking rules for once in your life, I know it’s hard for certain demographics but at least fucking try.
 
You know the thing that bothers me the most about the loony left calling people nazis at every turn isn't the fact that I hate niggers and kikes so in a way it's kind of true, it's the fact that my great grandpa actually went over and killed the shit out of nazis in between surviving a great depression and banging kids into my great grandma. Yet these people trivialize world war II heroes and the holocaust because they are literally so unoriginal they don't know how to make up another fucking metaphor.
And because these people are so Un-American they never bring up the absolute hellfire we brought down upon our enemies after they had wronged us. They do not sing the praises of all those hillbillies and country boys running wild against the krauts and confusing the shit out of them with their organized chaos backed up by overwhelming artillery power, air superiority, and tanks that were designed to be good enough.
 
The melty in the trump thread is absolutely brilliant

Pages and pages of subhumans trying to cope. It's really like a miniature reddit cesspool.

''Ok those emails don't prove what we want and we already know that Virginia giuffre said he did nothing to her but now that she's dead maybe it was false all along? ''

Those are *chefs kiss* tier copes
Yup. I'm STILL collecting neg-rates from the seething morons in that retard zoo.
It's HILARIOUS!

Not a single civilization has been able to figure this out. The West got the closest.

So hilarious that you felt the need to post about it?
 
Cartels and gangs thrived off illegal weed
They thrive off of legal weed too. There is cartel activity in the forests of California, weed smuggling out of legal states, and dispensaries owned by cartels all over the place pushing out non-cartel shops.

I don't have much of an opinion one way or the other (have lived in states where it's legal, have lived in states where it's not, spent a few years doing it a fair amount, a few years partaking once a month, and now none at all) and wouldn't care if it's outlawed (it's illegal in my current state anyway) but this is the same logic for legalizing prostitution.

That having it illegal encourages sex trafficking. Except that in places where it was legalized, sex trafficking went up - not down.

If something is profitable, criminals will exploit it. Whether it's drugs, sex, or gambling. Whether it's legal or not. The only thing legalizing it does is let them hide their criminal exploitation behind a veil of "legal" behavior.

If you still want it legalized, fine, but this argument is an extremely flimsy one and just doesn't work the way you think it does in reality.

There's a solution to this: just fucking kill them. It works wonders for Singapore and Indonesia overall. Blowing up their boats in international waters seems to do wonders too. You know it's working because garbage parasite nations like Columbia and the UK are bitching about it. We spend billions of dollars defending the "rights" of worthless shitskin foreigners that should be executed by firing squad as our society crawls into outright decay.

my point isn't about if weed should or shouldn't be legal

the reality is it was for the past seven years, and in The GOP Clean Spending Bill That Doesn't Change Anything (one of the only gop messaging successes) was hidden a measure to outlaw it
from anything I've seen this kicks in JUST around midterms next year

whether or not stinky weed makes individuals sad personally is irrelevant
this is not going to go over well with anybody that the GOP just killed thousands of employing, tax paying, businesses , and they hid it in the "clean" bill only makes it that much worse for them
