Quote:Originally posted by second: “Five inspector generals that were looking into Elon Musk’s companies were fired by the Trump-Musk administration,” said Texas Representative Greg Casar. “These inspector generals, who are independent, protected by law; they are the people that find the waste, fraud, and abuse … fired because they were looking into Elon Musk.” “You know what Elon Musk doesn’t seem to be looking into?” Casar continued. “His own contracts.” “Just last year, Elon Musk was promised $3 billion from close to 100 contracts with the federal government,” Casar said, highlighting the discrepancy that seniors who rely on Social Security are dependent upon $65 a day from the government. “We’re not looking into Elon Musk’s $8 million a day. This subcommittee chaired by Marjorie Taylor Greene and the House Republicans is looking into your grandmother’s $65 a day.”

The president was asked during a press conference if he would direct agencies to study the impact these tariffs would have on prices in the U.S. “No, there’s nothing to study,” Trump replied. “It’s gonna go well.” “The United States is going to become a very very strong economic, economically, country,” he added. It was reminiscent of his repeated claims in 2020 that COVID-19 was just “going to go away.”

Quote: The point is that food became abundant and cheap (see the word cheap) when the labor input approached zero. The same is true for the manufacturing of any item. To make the item cheap enough to satisfy the most gluttonous consumer means the labor input to make the item has to approach zero.

Signym, you don't understand manufacturing. Nor farming... It's a waste of time exchanging barbs with a halfwit. Here is where your logic goes haywire Quote: The point is that food became abundant and cheap (see the word cheap) when the labor input approached zero. The same is true for the manufacturing of any item. To make the item cheap enough to satisfy the most gluttonous consumer means the labor input to make the item has to approach zero. Follow your logic to its conclusion: By eliminating labor from everything - services and intellectual work as well as farming and manufacturing... you have made it cheap to produce everything (in reality, the cost of production goes to zero, but the capitalist will never give away anything for free). But at that point, nobody has any money to buy. So, aside from increasing profits for the owners, how does reducing labor benefit everyone else?

Quote: ...former colleagues of the terminated “G-men” say this narrative is backward. FBI officials, past and present, have marshaled significant evidence via whistleblower complaints and testimony indicating that several terminated leaders routinely used their offices for partisan purposes. These include allegations that at least two of the fired officials, Jeffrey Veltri and Dena Perkins, manipulated the security clearance review process to personally and professionally punish conservatives, COVID-19 vaccine skeptics, and Jan. 6 whistleblowers who reported suspected bureau malfeasance, and retaliated against those who came to the whistleblowers’ defense. A third, Timothy Dunham, is also alleged to have improperly suspended security clearances. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) read numerous accounts of alleged misconduct perpetrated by these and other officials into the record this morning as the committee considered the nomination of Kash Patel for FBI Director. One subordinate of the three terminated individuals, a former supervisory special agent in the Security Division, “SecD,” from which Veltri and Perkins hailed, and whom Dunham oversaw, told the committee: I witnessed abuses committed against multiple employees by FBI senior leaders, particularly by Jeff Veltri and Dena Perkins. I also saw SecD retaliate against five of its own employees for protesting these unlawful practices. Because I spoke out against these abuses, Perkins and Timothy Dunham suspended my security clearance, costing me my job and continuing employment, totaling approximately $700,000 in lost wages and retirement benefits. Another former FBI official, Marcus Allen, told the committee that Veltri and Perkins “caused the suspension of my security clearance because I questioned whether the FBI Director was truthful to Congress and whether the FBI was obeying the law and Constitution in the January 6, 2021 investigations.” What followed left “financial and emotional damage to me and my family will never be completely restored.” A third, Special Agent Garret O’Boyle, who has been indefinitely suspended without pay for well over two years in alleged retaliation for whistleblowing, told the committee that Veltri, Perkins, Dunham, and other leadership up to Christopher Wray, are responsible for what happened to me and my family. Ensuring that they no longer work at the FBI is not retribution; it’s responsible leadership.”[ì4] ----------- "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." - Henry Kissinger AMERICANS SUPPORT AMERICA

Because I never forgot. I never had an opportunity to forget because my alignment was always in direct opposition of The Power. Trump 1.0 was 4 years of also being aligned directly against The Power. Trump 2.0 does not appear to be, at least right now. And, quite frankly, after the last 8 years, the complete lack of pushback and the immediate defanging of the Legacy Media and Democratic Party dumbfounds me. I'm not somebody who is easily shocked, but this has been a very shocking Presidency so far, to say the least. Trump is not what you should be fearing. If you're going to fear anything right now, it's the lack of push back that you should fear. You should at least be questioning that. I know I do every day.

Seriously man. You need to stop. You and everyone else out there like you who is terminally online and can't keep their opinions to themselves. If you're not there to constantly remind everyone why they hate Democrats so much and Trump starts fucking up, maybe they can actually judge Trump fucking up correctly instead of coming into every situation hot off the heels of having another confrontation with some asshole and their asshole opinions 30 seconds prior. YOU ARE DOING DONALD TRUMP'S WORK FOR HIM FOR FREE. Stop it.

But then sometimes I hear them say things that I think are a fucking terrible message to tell a couple of million impressionable young men who may have been in this para-social relationship with these streamers for over a decade, and who genuinely look to these Influencers as friends and role models. Can you give us some examples?

When you're going around breaking all of the Elite's Toys like a bull in a china shop, you're bound to accidentally break something that's going to create at least a minor crisis localized to a small area... but maybe he breaks something Really Big? Or even worse yet, maybe nothing gets broken at all and things in this country really do start to improve for everyone for the first time in about 30 years. By that time, the Trump Administration could very well be sitting at or even above 60% approval. Aaaaaaaaaaaand that's when some really powerful people push this as further evidence of a "clear mandate" that everything they think is what the people want and they start trying to do some things that we shouldn't be agreeing with like putting the church back in public schools or justifying insane ramp-ups of technological survalience on all US Citizens by telling us it's for our own good and they're only using it to look for illegals (*wink, wink... nudge, nudge...) There are a lot of really fucking bad things that can come of all of this, Second. I know this. But not because of Trump. It has little to nothing to do with Trump. There's a fucking boulder that's rolling right now and it appears to be picking up speed. This DOES genuinely concern me, and it makes me question a lot of things right now. I'm actually starting to have a little bit of actual fear surrounding the furvor of it all right now, and I do hope that it normalizes and doesn't continue to pick up speed for the next 4 years straight. I don't know how far down that mountain actually goes. I'm not an avid history buff, but I'm sure that there are much better comparisons to previous fallen empires than the unimaginative and trite muh Nazi ending.

Quote:Quote:Quote: When everything was batshit and nobody who was sane had a voice, this was all fun and games. But now things are normalizing. Wrongs are being righted. And at a break neck pace that honestly terrifies me in how terrified I am about the future implications instead of reveling in it like I always thought I would be when and if it finally ever happened. Because I never forgot. I never had an opportunity to forget because my alignment was always in direct opposition of The Power. Trump 1.0 was 4 years of also being aligned directly against The Power. Trump 2.0 does not appear to be, at least right now. And, quite frankly, after the last 8 years, the complete lack of pushback and the immediate defanging of the Legacy Media and Democratic Party dumbfounds me. I'm not somebody who is easily shocked, but this has been a very shocking Presidency so far, to say the least. Trump is not what you should be fearing. If you're going to fear anything right now, it's the lack of push back that you should fear. You should at least be questioning that. I know I do every day. I agree to some extent. I expected change but not at this pace. I think it's because last time Trump was taking advice from old-time pols. This time, I believe this is coming from Elon Musk. Musk is a bright guy, but I think he's bipolar, and some of his mania- inspired ideas are pretty hare-brained. The other thing is, "the establishment" ... the blob of transnational financiers, brainless Eurocrats, DC pols, "security agencies", MIC, media, and the endless chain of grifters that the USD feeds .... were doing their best to keep things limping along. Nobody wanted to trigger "the great reset" while "the establishment" was in power. Now that Trump & Co have taken the reins, they have every interest in causing the system to implode ... if they can manage to do it while hanging on to their wealth. This is something between a revolution and a power struggle of titanic proportions. Needs thought.

Quote:Quote: But then here you come along and post more dumb legacy media TDS bullshit half a dozen times per day and make me just revel in rubbing your nose in your dogshit. And it is all dogshit. These articles are all written by the very same people you know have been lying to you for decades now and they just keep your mind focused on everything besides the stuff that is actually important. Seriously man. You need to stop. You and everyone else out there like you who is terminally online and can't keep their opinions to themselves. If you're not there to constantly remind everyone why they hate Democrats so much and Trump starts fucking up, maybe they can actually judge Trump fucking up correctly instead of coming into every situation hot off the heels of having another confrontation with some asshole and their asshole opinions 30 seconds prior. YOU ARE DOING DONALD TRUMP'S WORK FOR HIM FOR FREE. Stop it. So in addition to being the boy who cried wolf a few thousand times too many, they're also stiffening the pro- Trump crowd and making it impossible for anyone to post LEGITIMATE (i.e. realistic) concerns or disagreements?

Go back to your shrinking echo chamber and leave this conversation to the adults who've moved beyond a Hop-on-Pop reading level.
