ParticipantThere’s an old expression friends from Northern New England use to describe the inevitable compromises necessary to getting along in Life:
“It’s betta’ than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick…”This is the perfect metaphor, or maybe meme-aphor, to describe the Trump era.
~Putting DEI and Woketardedness to the sword.Doesn’t cost much money, probably will save money in the longer run.
A lotta cultural damage done to the country’s fabric
~Addresses trade policy neglected for decades by Demos and Rinos alikeNot long enough yet to manifest in the supply chain as ‘progress’, will hurt a lot in the short run.
~Deporting at a relatively low rate compared to the size of the problembut at least symbolically going in the right direction.
Both Demos and Rinos are hypocrites on this and always have been. Both secretly want ultra cheap labor to do the lowest end jobs for more profits and to tamp down inflation.
~DOGE finds corruption…..but it’s window dressing in the light of needing a trillion or two in savings. Still stuck in just the ‘hundreds of millions’ chump change range for now.
Most savings on the domestic side of the budget DOGE finds are immediately channeled into increasing the military industrial budget, no net savings.
~Epstein and child trafficking in general,
lip service at best:
No IDs or arrests of CLIENTS (customers) partaking of pedophilia
~MAHA
Got rid of food coloring
No charges or arrest made on the Covid Monsters.
Still offering the Death Shot to babies and pregnant women.
86FAUCI
He should at least be paraded through the streets naked in a cage full of fleas eating his face.
~Ukraine disengagementSort of, but no admission the US was behind the whole thing from the start.
No admission of the real causality numbers
Ukraine KIA: over a Million and climbing
Kill ratio went from 10 to 1 in Russia’s favor to 20+ to 1 in recent encounters,
Kursk was 40 to 1 Ukros killed to Russians with all mercenaries executed
Trump apologists claim he doesn’t know these numbers cause no one told him. Haha, nice try

Participantdoes anyone find it suspicious there has not been an Executive Order to release all of the Epstein information?
When the politicians complain that TV turns the proceedings into a circus, it should be made clear that the circus was already there, and that TV has merely demonstrated that not all the performers are well trained.

ParticipantIf I was the current administration I would be using the real Epstein client list as leverage to advance my agenda through: Ta-da Blackmail
Makes the most sense.
Blackmail is the core of the Epstein rscket
So be ironic and use the list to continue the blackmail in the opposing direction.
Using incriminating evidence for your adversaries to leverage your agenda, convert criminality into political capital
Take a deep breath and have a break

Suspicious? You are still at suspicious? Wow, I knew there were meat heads out there, but I am now educated that there are still people who think it is “suspicious”; it is like listening to 1990’s music, how cute.

ParticipantFrom, at top post, European kakistocracy locked in a Forever War against Russia by Escobar.
To qualify EU actions as self-destructive anti-intellectualism is actually benign. The IQ of people at the top in Brussels is at dismembered worm level, exemplified by the Estonian batshit crazy chick in theory representing the foreign policy of 450 million EU citizens. Brussels has been reduced to a pathetic Estonian propaganda snake pit with a whiff of British accent.
A lot of sympathy for this pov, but what Pepe is missing is that these EU ‘leaders’ (Ursi the Lying, Merz, more radical than Sholz, he just sanctioned NordStream!, Macron, always between two positions, and Meloni, trying to balance whatever, these are the figures one sees in the News, as pro-US, pro-NATO, anti-Russkie types, the Baltics snappers don’t count..) are AFRAID.
Desperate, even. They have been boosted and formatted by the US, still they owe something to the ppl on the ground, they are all acutely aware of what happened to Yugoslavia (balkanised, much killing, they agreed to that as it was just far off and ‘communist’ enough, and well…), to Lybia (again, somewhat removed, Muslim, etc.) .. what comes next?
Those who argue along the lines I am doing here often refer to the occupation of Germany and Italy post WW2 (+ Japan) with da military bases etc. I am not sure this plays much of a role, as compared to soft power, corruption, corp. / personal deals, trade agreements, election manipulation, and so on.
This site purports to list US and all Foreign Milit. bases with a description. Idk how good it is? I checked out 2 I know about, was OK.

Participant“The strike objectives have been achieved. All designated targets have been destroyed,” the ministry claimed.
At least 12 people were killed in the largest Russian air attack of the war that struck dozens of cities and villages across Ukraine overnight, Kyiv said on Sunday.
The barrage included 69 missiles of different types and 298 drones, according to Yuri Ihnat, spokesperson for Ukraine’s Air Force.
It was “the most massive strike in terms of the number of air attack weapons on the territory of Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in 2022,” he said.
Ukrainian authorities said 12 people were killed and at least 60 were injured in attacks on more than 30 cities and villages in the regions of Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, Ternopil, Chernihiv, Sumy, Odesa, Poltava, Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv and Cherkasy.
“This was a combined, ruthless strike aimed at civilians,” said Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko. “The enemy once again showed that its goal is fear and death.”
The death toll included three children from the same family in the Zhytomyr region, he said.
At least four people were killed in the capital city Kyiv, local authorities said.
Ukraine’s emergency services published images of firefighters tackling blazes at locations around the country in the aftermath of the barrage.
Russia’s defence ministry said its forces had “launched a massive strike with high-precision sea, air and ground-based weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles on enterprises of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex.”

ParticipantContinuing yesterday, someone pointed out that the South Africans, the Boers, HAVE BEEN THERE 300 YEARS. Are they not considered “African” yet? No? They’re the invaders? They’ve probably been in S.A. longer than half the Population of has been in Holland.
Worse? Okay, short history, usually don’t mention: NO ONE WAS IN S.A. when they landed. True fact. Or the population was amazingly astonishingly, supernaturally low. Who did they push out? No one was there. They didn’t displace any normal people. Why I don’t know and I would check this, but suppose they’re the !Kung people and so few they just avoid each other, never notice, don’t care. …Not like landing at Plymouth and having the fight off the Narragansett, for example, or treaty with the Powhatan. They were also few, but that’s different.
The BLACK South Africans AREN’T FROM S.A. EITHER. They were from other parts of Africa, and brought in there. Yes, by the colonists, but still. How is that better? And as Gandhi was, also a huge number of Indians, who are “nearby”, also British crown citizens. So the imported British crown Africans are real, but the British crown Indians are not real? And the Whites, who were there before everyone especially not real? Really, really not real? And I don’t expect us to, but the S.A. themselves, their government would know all this.
Brother, do they ever cartoon history. The Boers are the most African of all Africans. To take the stand they do means every American would have to debark to Scotland, England, Germany, and Italy, today, don’t pack a case. The case puts a whole new apex a new K2 face on “racism.”
“The ‘AfD = Hitler / Evil / Nazi’ meme is an example of an unfalsifiable belief. Its most enthusiastic adherents START with the belief, and then fill in the picture afterwards (or they just believe it anyway, in the complete absence of evidence or logic). The AfD MUST be evil, because they believe it to be. I’ve communicated with journalists who cite solely one poorly contextualized line from a political speech or a reference on a website, in support of their theses, and they almost become exasperated that people would demand EVIDENCE from them. Of course it’s true, damnit! They believe it! They KNOW it… except they don’t. They know very little (frankly, we all do).
The crazy thing is how MANY political ideas take this form these days. People will bob and weave and reframe and carefully use radically different standards for evaluating opponents / allies. It’s all fervent belief in the absence of real understanding, reinforced by a massive dose of confirmation bias.
It’s pretty ridiculous.” jmpolemic.substack.comNot like we didn’t know. And is there any other kind of belief, these days?
“• Trump Threatens 50% Tariff On EU From June 1 (RT)
So many pieces, so hard to follow, and as Cullom is still saying “Actually, is any of that true?” Every fact, every article, every day. Is it even true? Like I think he exempted commodities from the rules, like oil? I’m not saying we shouldn’t look, I’m saying I’m having an exceptionally hard time looking.
Harvard is one. Retarded, but look at it this way: They’re the local tower for sinking Trump, Republicans, the Constitution and American Values (like equality). Should he NOT go after them when …let’s hypothesize that the top brains for Socialism and violent revolution have set up residence there? Just saw this elsewhere, that they’re shocked that it seems like nothing the Left will do can satisfy. Like take a reasonable view on labor, trans, etc. They pass by 99 functional solutions to the problems, leaving no option at all except violent revolution.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! You got it! THEIR oligarchs want to kick out OUR oligarchs and have an even WORSE system than now – if such a thing is even possible. As JB reports, the WAY to do that is to IMMISERATE ALL THE PEOPLE. The poor, working-class, proletariat people, by destroying everything that helps them live, everything they love – even if it’s just 30 year old books on D&D – and all the wealth, ease, comfort, prosperity, and mental peace “Capitialism” has been giving them. By “Them” I mean “Us” and by “Capitalism” I mean “Work”. They are trying to steal and destroy all the hard work of all the hard workers so they they will revolt and be killed. WE did these things – create, print, and buy D&D books – because WE wanted them. There’s no “Capitalist” somewhere else. The “Capitalist” didn’t get rich bc there were no customers, no demand, no products. They make what WE, collectively want. All that “Chinese” junk exists only and solely, exclusively because YOU bought it. No buyers = no production. (Welcome to the War on Drugs 101)
Anyway, pushing it to this level is making more and more people catch on that the POINT, the only POSSIBLE point is to KILL EVERYONE so they will revolt. When we didn’t have to, didn’t have to revolt, didn’t have to have war, didn’t have to have a failed government, failed health, didn’t have to have racial strife, didn’t have to be poor, all that is MADE UP. It can be fixed in minutes.

“The era of Washington’s uncontested global dominance has come to an end, with growing competition from Russia, China, and other nations, US Vice President J.D. Vance said”
He is repeating what “America First” Generals said in 1995 without saying that’s what he’s saying. THEY said we can and should take our peace dividend and go multi-polar. The NeoCons, then Bush, Clinton, Obama, stopped all that, purging every general that was not for world empire and domination. They still lost and we won. Empire-B-Gon. This is our 30 Year’s War.
Donkey: well I’m glad he’s not a Clydesdale.
Sea: Never going in the water again.
Sorry I can’t tell what’s going on. I was actually trying not to, but now that it’s here I would actually keep up and track each tax move, law case and initiative, but I just can’t. That makes me not very helpful, and I don’t want to be like Obama voters, wave the flag, checked out as 5 new wars happened, all Civil Rights erased – I’m very aware and watchful of the shenanigans, the con – but I just can’t. Everyone criticizing is a liar when I check, and half the stuff is too complicated to decode.
This week: Everyone laughs Patel and Bongino off the stage for Epstein, well deserved. All words except “The” redacted from OMG’s (O’Keffe’s) newsroom raid. FBI run by Trump, no one cares. New total travesty BS about punishing protestors. Some fake, but some are real. DOGE suddenly “Forgot” to go into Pentagon, took all the savings and handed to DoD for bombs. Budget, a total bag of flaming, passed via yet more flaming. Harvard Retardation Syndrome. Building a new FBI, BUT ALSO the same FBI, BUT ALSO no one arrested, reprimanded, fired.
On and on. Yeah, I see it. At some point I’ll start sniping these guys, it will have been too long with arrest-o-meter stuck-on-stupid. What do you want me to add? How do I get back at Bongino productively right now? We’re already savaging him online on every platform and elections aren’t for a while. We also can’t tell what’s actually happening inside.
…BECAUSE NOBODY’S TELLING US. In a Democracy they have to tell us so we can be informed. It’s my money. I paid for it. So tell me or GTFO.

NATO and the U.S. provoked Russia to invade Ukraine. Putin invaded Ukraine unprovoked because he wants to take over the whole country—and maybe Poland too. Russia is winning the war and holds all the cards. Russia is not winning the war and doesn’t hold any cards. Maybe Ukraine can join NATO. Ukraine can never join NATO. Putin wants peace. Putin does not want peace, so we will hit Russia with crushing sanctions. There will be no more sanctions on Russia. Zelensky wants peace. Zelensky does not want peace. We will stop all weapons to Ukraine. We will send more and better weapons to Ukraine. Ukraine needs to hold elections. Ukraine does not need to hold elections. We have a minerals deal. We do not have a minerals deal. No European troops should be in Ukraine. European troops should be in Ukraine. The U.S. should stop all involvement in Ukraine. The U.S. should take over Ukraine’s power plants. I’m talking to Putin. I’m not talking to Putin. I just talked to Putin. Who is Putin?
Israel should finish the job in Gaza and do whatever it takes to eliminate Hamas and win the war there. Israel needs to stop the fighting and killing in Gaza. People in Gaza are suffering and want to live in peace. We will help them. People in Gaza don’t want peace. They are terrorists and must be destroyed. Israel can kick out all the Palestinians and take over Gaza. I’m going to buy Gaza and build resorts and casinos there. It will be beautiful for everyone! Netanyahu is an SOB and I hate him. I just s—ed Bibi’s c–k in the Oval Office while Miriam watched, and I told them both that I will do whatever they want me to do.
We totally crushed the evil weakling Houthis in Yemen. The Houthis are brave and strong fighters. Ahmed al-Sharaa is an evil terrorist with a $10 million bounty on his head. Ahmed al-Sharaa is a very attractive man with a strong past. He serves delicious tea, and I really love his beard! Iran has a right to enrich uranium for its nuclear program. Iran must stop all uranium enrichment and end its nuclear program.
I love tariffs! Tariffs will be 10 percent. No, 20 percent. 25 percent. No wait, make it 50 percent. Okay, how about 125 percent? Would you believe 145 percent? Just wait, I’ll make them a hundred thousand million billion trillion zillion percent! The biggest tariffs anyone ever saw, it’ll be a record! Everyone will be amazed! Oh, just forget about it, we’ll go back to 10 percent. Tariffs? I don’t want any tariffs. I don’t like ‘em.
