I'm clearly some kind of autistic but even when I was in 5th grade I was able to understand that human nature will be self-defeating to the goals of socialism or communism. Maybe that's because since I was young I worked with animals, assisted with projects where we built things, and had a dad who made a leisure activity of fucking with Indian telemarketers when they called him.

Anyways, the writing has been on the wall about how the left was whipping itself into an iconoclastic fanaticism since before I hit middle school. I want to say "I told you so" to people who would disagree with my worldview in Bush's second term but would agree with me now but it does no good to berate someone for having the scales fall from their eyes so that they can behold the obvious.
Conservative was always the most pragmatic approach to life to me. In life, there are have and have nots, there are people who shouldn't be given the benefits and entitlements as someone else who is inferior. If you let the floodgates open, those people will just consume and destroy your work.

Modern leftism tries to ignore these uncomfortable truths by lying to you and saying you can be a "good person" if you let all your borders open, give welfare to all, and let them take over your city. Its a nice idea for everyone to have unlimited gibs and resources, but impossible in practice. Eventually this toxic morality runs into reality and it all falls apart.
 
What, did you think Machiavellian schemers were doing it because they care about the poor and marginalized out of the goodness of their hearts?

Leftists love criminals and undesirables because they are excellent disposable shock troops.
With leftists you always have to wonder if they're doing something harmful out of spite, stupidity, or criminal intent. Often times all three. As for the homeless thing, it always did rub me as something criminal, glad to see my instincts are right sometimes.
 
I am not young, but this is not like ANYTHING I have ever seen in my lifetime. The way Trump is taking it all in and asking questions to understand better and bringing forward angles to get more insight is unlike any politician I have seen.
it's like he actually wants to get a good picture of what the whole situation is, instead of just pussyfooting around.
Call me optimistic but I think he actually cares
The chain of events that led to today are pretty insane. The 2020 election theft, the lawfare, the assassination attempts, the media dishonesty, it is almost like the left deliberately did everything they could to make Trump just drop all pretense and take the gloves off to fix as much as he can, and fuck what anyone says or does because he isn't afraid of anything now.
To address these collectively, I do think President Trump genuinely cares about the US and wants to what he can to help improve the country. Also, I think his business side is what drives him to get a good picture or feel for what's happening around him - just like a good business exec who adapts to what customers want or expect from a company's products/services. I think this may be why he had the Antifa panel; who better to explain how Antifa is a violent group and not just "an idea" than those who have been on the receiving end of Antifa's violence?

I've also observed what @Samuel Fuller has: Ever since President Trump won his second term, he's taken the gloves off and metaphorically said, "Screw it, I'm gonna do as much as I can this term and not care what anyone else thinks."

Every charity learned from the March of Dimes' mistake. Never SOLVE the problem.
When I took intro sociology in college, our instructor used the March of Dimes as the textbook example of bureaucratic inertia. Sadly, a lot of the Democratic sponsored gibs - especially those first implemented during COVID (free school lunches for all, maximum ACA subsidies for everyone on ObamaCare, etc.) are current-year examples that may never go away if those behind them have their way.

He declared them a domestic terrorist organization, a few weeks ago. That's why you didn't see much movement. You can't really do much to a domestic terrorist organization because we have the first amendment here and that guarantees freedom of association. While it's a useful tool to shift priorities and resources, It's almost completely lacking in teeth.

Designating them as a foreign terrorist organization is a whole 'nother ballgame.
To add on to this, for those who may not understand the separation of powers in this country: the executive branch (what the President is the head of) was designed to have very little power with domestic affair, but extreme powers when it comes to foreign affairs (when dealing with foreign nations there's not much use for factionalism or decentralized command).

Obviously, this has changed, with the President acting increasingly as de-facto head of domestic and foreign policy due to the useless deadlocks that plague the legislative branch (who are supposed to handle domestic affairs along with the judicial branch to a degree) but any time Trump is in office the uniparty uses all the roadblocks at their disposal to protect themselves.

That's why Trump in both terms got way more shit done when it came to foreign affairs than domestic.
 
If the neoliberals controlling the justice system in New York City would convict Donald Trump on 34 felony charges of not really anything, what would they do to an actual criminal? If the criminal shares their ideology, nothing:

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has declined to prosecute a woman who left a pro-life activist bloodied during a street interview in New York City earlier this year, according to attorneys from the Thomas More Society.

New York police arrested Brianna J. Rivers, 30, in April on one count of second-degree assault after she sucker punched activist Savannah Craven Antao during a street interview on abortion. The attack was caught on camera as Craven Antao asked Rivers questions about abortion on behalf of the pro-life organization Live Action.


As Thomas More Society senior counsel Christopher Ferrera observes,
“This blatant example of selective prosecution shows a troubling disregard for equal protection, leaving peaceful pro-life advocacy exposed to intimidation and violence.”

That would be the point. In the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination, Democrat pols have been priming their base for more violence.

The refusal to prosecute certainly wasn’t for lack of evidence: https://xcancel.com/CRRJA5/status/1971405646307393602

Alvin Bragg was installed in power by George Soros, who has been getting his money’s worth. And it doesn't stop with Bragg, as the Islamoshitlib colonist Zohran Mamdani is close to being put in power.

This is reportedly one of Zohran's interns: https://xcancel.com/EYakoby/status/1972372934808547474

Assimilation is not on the agenda, especially when it comes to stopping Fifth World mobs from rioting.

So-called “pigs” selflessly rushed into the Twin Towers after the attack, only to perish in the collapse. The thanks they get is currently unfolding.

Already New York City Council political ads are produced in Arabic: https://xcancel.com/EYakoby/status/1972087324055159261

On the positive side, NYCers will no longer need money, because everything will be free. Mamdani explains shitlib economics: https://xcancel.com/iAnonPatriot/status/1975268372238770598

Money has to come from somewhere to pay for the free everything. But that’s no problem; it can be confiscated from people who work for a living instead of voting for a living.
 
With leftists you always have to wonder if they're doing something harmful out of spite, stupidity, or criminal intent.
You forgot self interest. Apart from the kickbacks from the NGOs back up to the dems and their candidates, there's also the fact that the homeless industry is owned/operated/staffed predominantly by leftists. If homelessness was solved or at least significantly reduced by effective policy how many of these jobs would be lost? How many liberal arts graduates would be forced to work real jobs, or be able to find any work at all? The leftist mutual support ecosystem must be protected, and if that means a permanent underclass and all ts associated social ills, then so be it.
 
So since there’s now a real chance this deal goes through, what the fuck is a Technocrat? My assumption is it’s a lot more boring than the wording makes it sound, but “Technocrats” is an interesting word choice for an interim government.

Trump is going to be speaking in the Knesset on Sunday.

What the fuck did Trump do to make Hamas agree to this? The IDF is still going to occupy Gaza.
I'm not saying Trump isn't a master negotiator, but what I am saying is that the last time Israel invaded Gaza was 2014, and that lasted one and a half months. The current war has lasted 16 times as long. Hamas has taken one hell of a beating, and hasn't gained much to show for it. They got to be thinking its time to call this round, and start recouping for the next one. Trump gives them an out as it were by being a "third party". Hamas hands back the remaining hostages, and bodies they have. The IDF goes back to Israel. Hamas agrees to "disarm". Once the last IDF soldier leaves, the negotiations will fall apart because at that point it'll play poorly in Israeli politics to send people back into Gaza, or so Hamas is probably thinking right now. Just my cynical take.
 
The Homeless Industrial Complex is one of the biggest grifts in US politics & for rich, generally coastal, elites. There is a network in the PNW & left coast, including major players & political dynasty families, like (Pelosi/ Newsom,) who profit off the social programs which run as a front. In CA, OR, & WA, there is a whole gang of political leaders who profit off of “harm reduction” industries as well as legal (on paper) marijuana dispensaries, including the current political leaders in Oregon & Washington (including Tina Kotek.) There’s even a name for the gang, so to speak, that currently slips my mind. Something in Spanish about weed & hands, iirc.

Anyway, most of the actual funds get funneled into liberal political channels, & the homeless & destitute continue being props for the elites. It’s a huge grift & to be fair, happens with all political persuasions, not just the left. It’s just that the so called progressives have it down to a well oiled machine right now, & being as the left, at its best, focuses on social programs to help the people, it’s right at home in their platform. It hides in plain sight. Follow the money. The PNW has been purposely turned into an open air drug market to pay for Kotek & Newsom’s champagne socialist dinner parties.
Isn't the sheer scale of the grift insane to the tune of 10 million dollars per homeless person. The liberals win i think we should just give each hobo a house and lifetime supply of drugs instead. It would be cheaper.
