Despite being a barely-literate negro who speaks in ebonics, an actual DEI hire, a Democrat, a police-defunder, and defender of pedos (see his tweet honoring the legacy of Joseph Rosenbaum), even Redditards on r/nyc hate his guts.
Something about the absolutely inevitable decline from the competency crisis of pretending blacks are the same as any other race just seems to keep hitting jew york and san franshitsco and other shitholes.
They really do deserve it, which is very satisfying and encouraging.
 
I do recall the US military regularly going behind Trump's back, to the extent of lying about how many troops they had in places Trump ordered them pulled out. There was clear discussion between the mic and Ukraine at times.
So, we have officers refusing to deploy the National Guard to DC to prevent a potential riot, because the Establishment wanted an Insurrection they could use to permanently shut down MAGA. Officers are lying to Trump about deployed forces. They're going behind his back to deal with a foreign power.

Clearly, I am taking crazy pills (or need to start taking my crazy pills), because I must have hallucinated that Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the US Constitution said:
US Constitution Article II Section 2 Clause 1 dijo:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States
Further, I must have simply imagined that in the military, you follow every legal order given to you by your commander, and if you fail to do so, you will be punished, up to and including being dishonorably kicked out of the military.

Oh, wait, that's right, I forgot. This is Clown World, not a mildly sensible world.

In a mildly sensible world, those officers would be stripped of their commission, and dishonorably discharged for going behind their commander's back. However, because this is Clown World, they will receive no punishment for their actions.

Honestly, Trump should do a purge of the officer corps of everyone who engaged in fuckery to undermine his efforts during his previous term.

This is probably part of why the Establishment is gearing up for war. If we find ourselves in a hot war, the armed forces are going to need officers, and that will make it harder for trump to purge those who have violated their oaths to the Constitution.
Apparently they are lying to Kamala too given she said "we don't have anyone deployed" during the debate.
I remember that. Yeah, the officer corps is rotten with oath breakers. Is it fedposting to say I hope those oath breakers come to decorate lampposts alongside journalists?

The word of the day is "holistically".
One credit I will give to Kamala's campaign: She is expanding some people's vocabulary.

A funny thought comes to me. Do you think that somewhere out there, there is an English major watching one of Kamala's interviews with one of her Words of the Day, screaming at YouTube or his TV, "That's not what that word means, you vacuous bint!"?

I will give you another Word of the Day: Solipsism

From the Latin words solus (meaning "alone") and ipse (meaning "self), Solipsim is the philosophical position that only one's own mind and experiences can be real, anything outside of that is uncertain at best. To tie this back to the intelligence-insulting opinion piece linked above, the author puts her solipsism on full display. Because she, personally, has never personally dealt with violent immigrants who can't integrate, they don't exist. The claims of others about immigrants are also false, because those other people probably also don't exist. Only those things which align with her experiences can be true.

This whole thing about Kamala working at McDonald's. My natural response would be "And is that relevant to being Vice President? In what way do the skills translate?"

It's an indictment of the electorate that her working at McDonald's would even matter to them.

She thought I was being dramatic. He won, the very next morning I called a real estate agent to list my house. Within two months I was out of NYC and in a new house. Sadly, I noticed my old house has been listed so the guy who bought it is trying to get out now also.
Out of curiosity, was the house going for less than you sold it for or more? Was it a house that could be renovated and flipped? Just wondering if you turned out to be right about the value tanking or not being able to sell it in the future.

If it was at least a Starbucks then it could show that she managed to get some sort of literature/arts degree.

Tho come to think of it, in Canada all of the fast food places have Indians for their entire staff.

It's to prove she is one of you, she is a canadate that understands your "hopes and dreams". She is a visionary that will "not go back" and instead will go "forward". Like you she brings Joy™️ whenever she goes to the gas station to get delicious Doritos™️. And if she isn't like you don't worry, she is the latest in a long line of shape shifting lizard people. Black, Indian middle or working class, Kamala™️ will become like you*

*Assuming you are part of a voting block she needs to court.

Oh, I know why. And that's my reason for saying its an indictment of the electorate. Who thinks "What I want in someone going in to negotiate with other world leaders is someone who knows how long to keep the fries under" ? One of us? They misunderstand the role of the US president. They're not in charge of domestic policies - or weren't until Obama normalised rule by Executive Order. I don't think I would make a good Head of State. So why do I want someone I think is like me to me fill that role?

I mourn the loss of a desire to have actual Leaders leading, in favour of "my buddy" leading.
 
There's something connecting Adams to the Diddy case. I'm not sure if they busted him just for this or him admitting immigrants are screwing everything up but I figure it's part of a combination of reasons they decided to actually go after him.

Then they’re retarded. Once of the first things you do in a real war is fire all the peacetime officers who have no idea how to fight an actual war and replace them with field-promoted veterans.
 
osity, was the house going for less than you sold it for or more? Was it a house that could be renovated and flipped? Just wondering if you turned out to be right about the value tanking or not being

It's actually going for more but it's not selling at all. Supposedly he listed it back in May and it's just been sitting there, which is nuts because the property moves so fast, so for it to just be sitting there for months means he's overpriced it.

The house was in great shape. I don't think he's flipping it because it doesn't make sense. I honestly believe he renovated it to stay there but things have gotten so bad maybe he just wants out.

My house was appraised at about $650k. The guy who bought it was a mexican. In fact his wife didn't speak English at all and they had to bring a translator for her. He got into a bidding war with an Asian family. At the end, he won after offering $730 for my house, which I never expected - So he definitely overpaid. After he moved in, he gutted the entire house, which was a shame because I had recently put new tile work in the 1st floor bathroom and replaced the air conditioner. He tore everything out, gutted the house, and spent about $100,000 in renovations. I know because at some point a bunch of shit of mine got shipped there when I forgot to change my address with one retailer and I had to go back to the house and he was showing me the renovations they did to the house.

None of that would make sense as a flip - he definitely redid the house because he was planning on staying,
He relisted the house in May but he listed it for like $900k, which is completely absurd. So what he's trying to do is get his money back that he paid to buy it, plus the $100k he put into it. It's not gonna happen. $650 - $700k is about right for the area my old house is in. It's his fault he overpaid when he got into the bidding war, so he was already in trouble at that point but I assume he didn't mind because he wasn't planning on moving again. I have a feeling things just got bad in the neighborhood, like I predicted, and he wants to get out.

As far as the actual value in that neighborhood, I don't know. I haven't stayed on top of anything so I don't know if the overall house value has dropped.

Also, I'm sure these numbers must sound nuts to someone in the midwest but these are normal numbers for real estate in NYC. I didn't live in a mansion or anything. It was a bog standard Queen Anne like they have all over Queens. If you ever watched Archie Bunker / All in the family, that opening with them driving down the street in Queens with the houses going by, that's exactly what my place looked like. I actually bought this place in the 90s when I did really good in music with royalties and stuff and paid about $350k for it. So in about 25-30 years the value doubled. That's how crazy real estate is in NYC. And that's with all the crime and crazy bullshit.

It's probably what she said when she applied for her jobs. "I worked at McDonalds so I'm good at taking orders". She is probably one of those people who puts literally everything in her CV. Good thing she never had to use it, I guess.

I guess both McDonald's and Vice President are jobs you can do without any education. And you have to deal with awful people all day long in both. I guess it's more alike than I realised.

@AnitaSarsleezian You spoil me with such a detailed reply. As I was reading through it three things occurred to me: 1. Smart of you to get out when you did. 2. That poor Mexican sod I hope he recovers, that sort of miscalculation can wreck your life. 3. Good immigrants suffering because of the bad ones seems to be an eternal pattern. I don't know if he's a "good" person but if he's stumped up that sort of money and done that sort of renovation I presume he must work a lot or be talented.

I think its a complete lie and she thinks she can use "worked at McDonald's" as a figure of speech for "first job". I think the right kind of person could easily do that (maybe worded slightly different), but the right kind of person would also confess when confronted about it being bs. The whole dnc has been so much about BS and lies that confessing to one might get people wondering.

Also imo it absolutely does piss people off in a stolen valor way if they worked fast food and start to imagine what kind of first job kamabla really had.
 
Had to suffer through a few Kopmala campaign ads while over with the family for the evening - is it me, or did they artificially lighten her skin for the ads? Almost looked pink-ish
 
You nailed it about Harrison Ford. On screen the guy is magic - he always comes off like he's winking right at you and you're in on the joke. On interviews? He comes off as a miserable bastard who actually hates what he does.
No, he's great.
