Tulsi is a bad move for Vice President because aside from her foreign policy stances she doesn't seem to have shifted her stances ftom when she was a Democrat. People like her and RFK are best left with only the power to affect the fields where their political stances align with Trump's movement.

It's more likely that Vance picks up the 2nd most popular primary candidate assuming that he wins the primary. Right now that's most likely Marco Rubio or Ron DeSantis, but Tulsi is always a good option, particularly if either of them end up being the nominee. The Vice Presidency is only important so far as getting a future candidate out in front of the public is concerned and none of the likely front runners are old enough that they would worry about dying in office. Having a woman on the ticket isn't nearly as important for Republicans as it is for Democrats, but Tulsi does help pick up disaffected Democrat votes, and by 2028 there will be a lot of them.

Of course, she can still do that even without being a VP candidate. Tulsi may be perfectly happy with where she is now or might prefer being Secretary of State as opposed to VP. She's not the sort who lusts after power and the only reason she's in the current administration is because Clinton pulled some mean girl shit to kick her out of the Democrat party. Hillary really gutted the party chasing after her own ambitions and even now the party is still free falling from the 2024 election with now clear leadership and no one rallying around the people trying to assume that role.

Regardless if a "racial remark" was made, has anybody else noticed how the "abortion debate" in America is almost always MEN getting irate at / threatening to kill / using outright violence towards other MEN for opposing abortion?

majority of pro abortion activists are women (libral), majority of anti abortion activists are also women (christian)
but women almost never get violent so all the extreme shit (like bomb attacks on abortion clinics or these violent beatdowns posted in here) is done by men
 
By now we know how it works. Restrict gun ownership to criminals, and gun violence goes up. Colorado is a case in point. Back in 2013, Democrats exploited Sandy Hook as a pretext to declare war on the American right of self-defense:

That war included bans on “high capacity” magazines, requirements for universal background checks, fees for existing background checks, and allowing victims of gun violence to sue firearm manufacturers for the misuse of weapons.

Since then, Dems have doubled down. For example,
Most recently, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) signed a semiautomatic ban that represents “one of the most restrictive regulations ever adopted in Colorado,” according to the Colorado Sun.

The predictable consequence of this long-running campaign:
Ammoland News examined firearm homicides in the state and found there were “86 gun homicides” in 2014 and 237 in 2023.

Insanity has been defined as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” But maybe neoliberals are getting the results they want. Why else would they undermine local police and import massive numbers of criminals from the Fifth World as they disarm law-abiding citizens? Surely it can't be just due to sheer psychosis.

qrd:

On May 8, the Vatican elected Pope Leo XIV — formerly Robert Francis Prevost — the first American-born pope. With this unprecedented event came an equally unprecedented problem: the Pope is now subject to U.S. taxation on his worldwide income, thanks to America’s outdated citizenship-based tax system.

In response, lawmakers introduced the Holy Sovereignty Protection Act (H.R. 4501) to exempt Pope Leo XIV from U.S. taxation. But this raises a critical question: If the Pope deserves relief, why not the 5 million other Americans living abroad?

Meanwhile, The Residence-Based Taxation for Americans Abroad Act (H.R. 10468 ), introduced by Rep. Darin LaHood would allow Americans overseas to be taxed only on U.S.-source income, aligning our system with the rest of the world.

This might not even end up mattering. While the pope does earn a monthly salary, they can choose to give it up. The last three have, so Pope Leo might follow suit. Since their housing, food, medical, travel, etc. is all paid for by the Vatican, it's not like the pope actually needs a salary for anything. There might not be any income to tax.

But hey, if the issue being raised leads to less taxes for other Americans, that'd be pretty neat.

I decided to look around at recent crime statistics to see if it lined up with my gut feeling. It looks even worse than I thought it would be. I think between COVID lockdowns and the illegal immigration, violent crime absolutely exploded.


Rape nearly fucking DOUBLED in 2022. Dropped a lot in 2023, but is still at extremely high levels.
Aggravated assault up massively, then dropped a decent amount.
Simple assault up massively and did not drop in 2023.
Domestic violence went up by 27%, and then dropped by down in 2023.
Stranger violence though, up 33% and held pretty consistent. Wonder who those "strangers" are?

The judge trying to prevent deportations of these "people" raping and assaulting our countrymen/women is insane, fucker should be hanged.

isn't the pope also technically the head of state of vatican city, which the US recognizes as a sovereign state?
i wonder if that plays into this situation. like, is there some kind of sovereign immunity when it comes to tax law?

Two of those sets were just the same thing shot from different angles.

This woman is functionally retarded and should lose her voting rights as if she was a felon.

Really low divorce rates amongst those bleached couples, too. Life is strange.

Women are generally the ones to initiate divorce, to a black woman managing to snag even an average white man is like getting married to a greek demigod and you'd have to really fuck up bad to get her to want to give that up.

Majority of the time those who hate Israel are likely Muslims or sandniggers who hate the US too. This is a roundabout way of preventing them from entering without minorities bitching about religious discrimination and the ACLU going to bat for terrorists in court.
