You can't trust the CPC at face value with shit like this

NIGGAS been saying China was on the verge of collapse since Bush was in office. It's a joke to the Chinese. Now explain why china hasn't collapsed yet when people were saying it would back in 2017

I just remembered, didn't Trump say he was going to make some announcement about the 2020 election on Monday? Did I miss that?

I was waiting for that too, he said he was gonna prove how their was election fraud or something.

I guess the announcement never happened? Perhaps there was no evidence of the 2020 election being rigged.

Good.

Wait, did Miley NOT get hit by Biden’s fucking blanket pardon wand? Because in that case he might legitimately be fucked here. Like, that would be pretty damned good, I’m just shocked if that is the case, I would’ve figured if Fauci got his insanely blanket pardon so would Miley.

You see, the assistance was always there. They just withheld it from them. That's what makes it 100x more loathsome.

He did, so I dunno how that's gonna work out. Let's wait and see how it unfolds - because if they can convict Milley, then it's game over for Fauci & Co.

Seems like the easiest way to get yourself mindbroken by people making Nazi/MAGA edits of your dogshit character model.

Can I just thank everyone in this thread for doing such a good job aggregating news? For a very long time one of my best friends has exclusively used /pol/ for news, and the doomer bullshit he sends me every day makes me appreciate how well informed all of you are.

Ah yes the old get mad at the majority of potential customers gambit. Great to see this business savvy anime pfp is so forthcoming with the secrets to their success.

Brings the "how do you like my garbage truck" to another level.
Trump is overflowing with meme magic this first month, praise kek.

Maybe somebody with military experience can explain, but does a blanket pardon cover courts martial and UCMJ?

This shit makes MATI. I hope the next 4 years shows us Trump smashing all these fucking swamp creatures underfoot. The last administration allowing innocent Americans to suffer for petty political reasons is a fucking travesty. May those fuckers get tossed into the deepest depths of the eternal lake of fire.

Might actually work out for them they're a male vtuber they are most likely courting faggots and the woman who masturbate to them well mostly the latter but you get the point.

Milley's pardon is federal, does not include military court.

Again, all these shady dealings and retarded spending should make you livid in the first place - Biden, the Dems and all his cronies were wasting the American taxpayer money on bankrolling condoms for Gaza, bankrolling Ukraine and 1000000000000 other things we don't know about (yet). If this DOGE dept is truly efficient, in the upcoming months they'll uncover the NASTIEST loopholes for funnelling taxpayer money you can think of.

Each of these will make you realize just how MUCH money was wasted on anything BUT the American taxpayer

People in this thread praise JD Vance, but knew little about him until Trump picked him for VP.

JD Vance wrote a bestselling memoir in 2016 detailing his entire life

Yes. Less than 1 million people likely read his book before he was selected for VP.
2016 was at the time he joined Peter Theil's circle of influence and power. Also at that time JD Vance called Trump an "idiot" and "reprehensible" and compared Trump to Hitler.

which was turned into a major movie directed by Ron Howard and nominated for two academy awards.

The film released Nov 2020 election season in a limited theatrical run with negative reviews (which lowers viewership). The film released exactly 2 years before his Ohio Senate run. I'm sure some people in Ohio watched the film in 2022 to learn more about who they might vote for.
According to Variety the day after Vance was selected for VP the film was viewed 163,836 times. 1,179% more than the day before (≈12,809), when he was merely just being considered.
If each day 12,809 new people watched the film for the 6 months leading up to his VP selection 2.3 million people would have watched the film. I believe this is an overestimation, because it is more likely the view numbers ramped up as rumor grew.

Put together the book and film were consumed by roughly 3 million people. Optimistically you can presume the 4 million people who voted in the Ohio Senate race were informed about him. That optimistically combines to 7 million people if you ignore double/triple counting the book/film/OH voters.
Of the 150 million voters (or 200 million eligible voters) how many knew more than "a little" about JD Vance before he was selected for VP? 5% of people?
Hell, how many of the 200 million eligible voters knew more than "a little" about him on election day?

RFK Jr "came out of nowhere" in the 2024 cycle.

No he fucking didn't. He has had a long public career and was being considered for positions back in the Obama administration.

If you asked people in 2021 who would be running for President, how many would list RFK Jr? His announcement to run was not an obvious foregone conclusion.
Before he announced his run for president, what percentage of 200 million Americans knew RFK Jr's political stances or that he would be a possible choice for president in the next election?
That is what in mean by "come out of nowhere"

Right now. What percentage of people in America know who George P. Bush is? Sure, they would guess Bush family, but would they know much else? How many would predict a presidential run by him in 2028? Is it an obvious foregone conclusion that he will run for president in 2028?

I have a feeling you are classifying people as unknown dark horses just because you personally hadn't heard of them in the news before.

Wrong. I am a politics wonk.

Extrajudicially give the Taliban military equipment.

Extrajudicially give the Taliban military equipment.

And communicate with the People’s Liberation Army behind Trump’s back

To be fair, this is a problem in all large organisations, and the remote work bludgers are the same retards who float around making smalltalk all day and take 2hr lunches when they do attend. I am very MATI at retards acting like office attendance mandates are in any way beneficial (they aren't, and if anyone had good proof they were, the jew media would be proclaiming it from on-high). Right now the driving force behind the push back to in-office work is equal parts slimy corpo trickery to keep their holdings in corporate real-estate firms and city foot-traffic dependent businesses viable, retard managerial types who can't handle not being able to loom over their peons and micromanage them, and spiteful boomers who hate that modern tech means the average suit can save god knows how much time and money by not having to commute to their wage cage.

He's done more in a week than many presidents do in a year, and he's done it so casually that he's out playing fucking golf and enjoying it. Its like watching a broken ass Speedrun, Trumps found all the sequence breaks and he's just speedrunning everything he wants and blitzing to total domination before the first levels been flushed from memory.

USA2025 - Un-fucking the Country - 22.5x Executive Orders (Commentated)

Rate me autistic or break out the big thinky emojis, but any seemingly groundbreaking works coming out of mainland China should be taken with a ton of salt. You can't trust the CPC at face value with shit like this.

Generally good advice, however as someone currently working in AI and doing big ol literature reviews, a fair amount of what the chinks are publishing is actually pretty well written. Also, unlike other fields, replication is a lot more straightforward for the foundational stuff that LLMs rely on. I still agree you shouldn't take anything the chinks say at face value, but I am not surprised this kind of breakthrough came from them.

Half these youtubers couldn't even tell you what an allele is.

My goto for those types is calling them trisomy-21 niggas and seeing if they have to jump on google to figure out why they're offended.

Illegal immigrants will be replaced by legal immigrants.

Which in itself is a huge improvement. To know who is actually in your country, to have them pay taxes, to be able to kick out ones you don't want back to their own country and prevent them returning. And to be able to quality control. Do people think there are no good South Americans? Of course there are - loads. Fun people, easy going and smart. Lots of them stay in South America. As Trump said, "they're not sending their best". Why would they? There's a huge difference between a talented immigrant who wants to work and integrate and a country emptying its prisons and sending them North.

Few of us are hardline against all immigration in total. Cutting down on illegal immigration already has huge benefits and it is also the basis for being able to have rational immigration policies in the future. You can't do that with uncontrolled illegal immigration.
