It's beautiful seeing MSM get shit on for.victim blaming the national guards. Anyway, I wonder if Malenia Trump's doing alright since I haven't heard from her this term. Idk it's just that i felt she was unfairly treated during the first term for the crime of just being married to him and doing naked modeling and having and accent despite said people championing being inclusive. And there's the whole "she's being abused for not being public" despite ridiculing her.
 
We make turkey at many times throughout the year, maybe JD just has a skill issue because his momma was too strung out to learn how to cook and his wife...well, the less said about that, the better. I'm sure she makes a good dal.

PS, JD: People made turkeys at other times of year a lot, when we could still have one-income large families. It's a bird big enough to feed a big group, but it takes hours in the oven. You can't do one when you come home from work at 5:30, the way you can do a roast chicken in an hour. Doesn't work to make a turkey in a two-income household, except on a weekend day when you've decided to take hours of your precious weekend time to cook a bird.

But we do it all the time, because we live a life centered around our home and family, and there are plenty of children to eat at the meal and then later, the leftovers. You don't even need to do anything all that fancy. Even when it's a bit dry, the gravy fixes all and it's some of the best gravy there is.
Used to be a Sunday dinner meal, which is why it became traditional iirc. @JambledUpWords knows more about it.

Also Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am thankful for the parasocial relationship we all have on this thread, and hope everyone had a loving day with family and friends! :feels:
 
Happy Thanksgiving all, especially for our friends at the CIA.

I can think of at least two families who are not thankful for the CIA today.


Wajahat Ali: "You wanna blame Afghans for this? Then deport all whites. They're mass kiIIers."

Those whiteys sound dangerous. I think we should make some sort of preserve in North America and Europe where the violent whites can stay. The brownoids can all live in peace in the other continents.
 
bondi is fuckign useless, so many mistakes from that bitch just not going after who she should be going after. actblue alone would be a game changer, but i feel like the scotus is going to hand down a win on the race based voting districts.
Bondi and Patel seem to be in a constant competition to be the worst member of the administration
 
So did anyone have politics brought up at their Thanksgiving dinner? I had to restrain myself as one of my host brought up the ICE arrests being a "disgrace" to the country, the FBI Director and DHS Secretary using government planes for unofficial reasons (suddenly they care about what their taxpayer dollars are being spent on) some Orthodox church that young men are joining because it's anti-feminist and anti-transgender (along with saying "manosphere" unironically), and how the Saudis will sell the US fighter jets they are getting to the Chinese or use them in more 9/11-style attacks.

She and Vance's wife were at Camp Lejeune recently to celebrate Veteran's Day.
 
This is why Trump and other Republicans should cut her loose. She's a liability, and if she stayed I could see her melting down and voting against Republicans just to own Trump for reasons.

Already Democrats are considering the idea of taking the House before 2026 if a series of votes all go correct for them, the first of which is coming up next week with a representative from TN leaving early and a bunch of money poured into the district to try to flip a +20 seat. The race looks close though even with pollsters still favoring Republicans, and that vote not going to flip means that they won't get a majority. I'm not sure if Tennessee is extremely worrying or just Democrat hopium.
Full on hopium, as long as Repubs go out and vote. Which for a special election might be an issue.
 
Just wanted to share the 100 year chart of the Dow Jones, within those 100 years 2 world wars, a great depression and recsion, 9/11 and countless conflicts came and went

But the line went up...

"How bad can it possibly be?
How bad can I be?
Im just building the economy
How bad can I be?
Just look at me petting this puppy
How bad can I be?
A portion of proceeds goes to charity
How bad can I be?
How bad could I possibly be? Lets see!

All the customers are buying!
How bad can we be?
And the moneys multiplying!
How bad can we be?
And the PR people are lying!
How bad can we be?
And the Lawyers are denying!
How bad can we be?

WHO CARES IF A FEW PEONS ARE DYING?"

Have a great Thanksgiving Kiwis, hug your people tight and tell them how much they mean to you, we dont get enough opportunitys to do that.
I'd have gone with War Pigs but you do you.
 
My theory: AI will get reined in once it hits employment numbers too much, thus nuking its investment value. I do think we are on a crash course either way in the next 5 years. If not sooner.
The issue is that AI, or more specifically the hype around AI, is essentially the only thing propping up the market. But we're already starting to see the plateau of its increase, and hitting bottlenecks due to power, data, processing, and bandwidth constraints. The technology is neat, but apart from making some jobs easier and less tedious, it's not going to be able to do literally everything. The AI market is also full of scams, and there are some big boys playing the scam game who are only allowed to continue to do so because shining a light on them would crash the economy (looking at you Sam Altman).

Shit's already fraying. I see it all crashing in May/June of next year, because the mindset will be "it's all going to shit anyway, so we might as well use it to get our guys elected." They could probably keep the economy afloat through next year if so desired, but it's fucked in the next year or two regardless.

Edit: I forgot to mention employment. AI is not affecting employment. Any jobs "lost" to AI are either shipped overseas, or the company "realizes they made a mistake" and hires again, but this time it's all through visas. Very few instances of actual job loss have happened, and in every case the company has attempted to hire back the original employees because they realize some retard sold them hopes and dreams and not an actual employee replacement mechanism.
 
Full on hopium, as long as Repubs go out and vote. Which for a special election might be an issue.
The fact that it's gotten so much attention and it's still a red district doesn't mean a quick victory. The closest example I can think of is either purple states or the Roy Moore election, which was extremely effective and still was less than a +2 win.

Not to mention political. Democrats are sperging over Trumps AI memes, slop, jeetspam and brainrot thats proliferating the internet. Socially, its negativity affecting the way people interact and communicate with each other, indeed job hunts these days are just AI vs AI.

With the affordability crisis, power price increases due to data centers will be on the table for the midterms. Government subsidies for AI will be an unpopular position. That alone may stop it in its tracks. AI may be worth it if workers were seeing significant increase wages, but they are seeing few financial downstream benefits from this and all of the social slop.

This is all before companies see any ROI too.
I see it all crashing in May/June of next year,
I would agree with this. I predict a 40% chance of depression wipeout in the next 3 years.
