has the culture war shifted so much that it's now the left wing's turn to whinge about "imagine if the OTHER side did this thing"? feels bad when that's your best argument for shielding how stupid and weak your side has become, huh

It's wild because I am a Republican and I understand the need for a restricted, but functional, federal government. Crying that everything is woke as an excuse for gutting integral national defense programs is a relatively new phenomenon.

I also think that EU politicians are a lot closer to Russia than the public likes to think - e.g. all the energy they happily bought from Russia for years. The only reason the EU stopped buying LNG and other energy from Russia is because of US-backed sanctions.

I disagree with this part. Russia isn't le big bad that it's made out to be and I question if it ever was le big bad and not a psyop for infinity-funding of Operation-paperclip Nazis to experiment on the American people. (MK Ultra for one, popular example).

Biden pushed the sanctions on Russian energy to sell US energy to Europe at a marked-up price. Guess where the proceeds went? Ukraine. It's the same playbook as Iran-Contra.
Proof of this can be found in the UK where our PM Liz Truss - a Trump fan, was ousted after 40-or-so days because she was going to make Britain energy independent and help Europe with cutting ties to American LNG. The international markets were manipulated to make her look unpopular - combined with a media campaign to call her a lettuce, and she was gone.
How is that proof? Our current government lick the balls of the EU and paki elite, supported Kamala by sending 100s of labour members to the US and have ruined our economy WORSE than Truss. Yet they're still in power.

TL;DR - Russian energy sanctions benefited Russia. America (Biden+globohomo+wefaggots) fucked around to make extra money from Europe to help fund the war in Ukraine, which gave America the excuse to keep the gas flowing and the war going.

Right, an integral nuclear stockpile program.... that didn't exist during the cold war and hasn't accomplished it's stated mission in 25 years. Clearly axing this is a threat to our democracy

Yeah, I'm sure the several hundred employees they fired are all trannies.

NIH plans to slash support for indirect research costs, sending shockwaves through science​

My older colleagues in scientific community are dead scared of indirect costs cuts, which are costs not related to a project (the janitor, security cost, utilities, salaries); some departments are dependent on a lot of indirect costs (biochemistry is ~55%, chemistry too).

I know the Don likes to leverage before negotiating, but I'm concerned about I pursuing doctorate in genetics soon. With how liberal the biology department can be (they love their DEI initiatives), how screwed am I?

About the Romanian election that was canceled because of 'Russian intereference'. Vance then said that if a democracy can't survive an ad campaing from a foreign nation then it isn't a good/stable democracy.

holy fuck he's dropping truthnukes harder than what hit japan

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

It’s like, looking and seeing how much money we actually spent in a globohomo themed attempt at self cucking, now we’re like “if I give you shit, you’re just going to use the money you could’ve spent on it to attempt to cuck your own citizens and put them further at odds with our policy goals”

That's a meme-ish way of putting it, but yes. There's also the problem I see which is that EU countries are starting to "go their own way," to so speak, while getting security guarantees from the US. The US is not going to spend all this money assuring military protection for countries that do not want to align with our values and interests. Germany is free to pursue policies of mass immigration, banning opposition parties, and cancelling elections, but they should not expect any support from the US if they choose that path.

If the Europeans lose US military protection, they are truly on their own and they know deep down they're fucked if that happens; it means austerity. No more free healthcare, no more free education, and no more free lunch. They think they're scared of right-wing political opposition, but what they really should be afraid of are all the people who've known nothing but creature comforts calling for their heads when they have to pay to see a doctor. All that's left at that point is for the Russians to send the tanks in like they did Ukraine.

The schools can save tens of millions by shuttering all their DEI offices and firing the useless administrative bloat. If they still need money after doing that, then they can start whining.

Trump has fired a warning shot via his new AG Bondi

He's challenging a old'ish ruling (Humphrey's v Exector 1935) that forbids him from firing certain leaders of certain regulatory commissions. Mostly the FTC, because the Democratic DC judges are leaning heavily on this old ruling to stop Trump from getting rid of any heads of regulatory bodies.

If your into civic law this is a big deal, basically back in 1935 a circuit court created a president that certain members of certain bodies are not under the President nor the Senate so neither body can fire them. This judge basically created a "4th" branch of government that was both quasi-judicial and quasi-legislative. Which was ignored for almost a century (because it was a fucking retarded ruling) until a activist Democratic judges dragged it out of the crypts to use against Trump.

This mostly has to due with Trump firing a Special Council named Hampton Dellinger (a Biden appointee) from his position. To which Dellinger sued Trump on Monday saying the PotUS has no power over his role and cites this retarded 1935 ruling. To which the local DC circuit judge was more then overjoyed to agree and slap a restraining order on Trump as well as ordering him to re-enstate Dellinger.

So this morning Pam Bondi sent a letter to the Senate saying the DoJ will challenging this ruling in the SCotUS as the PotUS as head of the government has power over any appointee no matter which department he/she works for.

TLDR: so faggot who got fired by Trump dug up some crusty old ruling and the lefty judge in DC said OK you bet! Let's put a restraining order on Trump now to stop him. Then Trump's new AG said lol fuck no, that ruling is stupid and old as fuck so we are going to bring it to the SCotUS for a final ruling.

warning much heavy legalese inside but if you want an actual detail breakdown this faggot does that.
