Most of that is pretty funny, I can't even tell if that was made by someone who is seething or who has very high and funny expectations.

I don't either but I can feel my abs from laughing this hard.

President Trump and evil nazi Elon Musk are considering sending everybody $5000 checks as an apology for all the fraud they've found in government.

Holy inflation

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

yea alright couple dirt hills in Illinois, big whoop, the Romans build aqueducts while Jesus was doubling fish and they have DIRT MOUNDS

People continued to use Roman aqueducts. When people abandon sites, they end up looking like uninteresting dirt mounts until someone decides to start digging - e.g. Gobekli Tepe.

There's native restaurants, I've seen them. The real reason is because featherhead food really isn't that good outside navajo tacos. Nobody wakes up in the morning like "I could really go for some succotash today!"

Aeons ago when I was in college, I worked for a catering company that did a lot of student events. One of the events I worked was for the Indigenous People Student Union or something, and they had a buffet of traditional food. Typically we would descend on the buffet leftovers after dinner was served, but even broke college students didn’t want anything to do with the succotash and nondescript braised meat product. The frybread would have been okay if it had had even an ounce of seasoning, but it was the most bland fried food I’ve ever eaten in my life.

I don't know about this one, fixing the government wasting money problem by spending a bunch of money seems like it might not be the best idea. I thought the covid checks were a dumb idea too and was one of the people getting pointed at and being told, "Haha money printers go burrrrrr". Then massive inflation happened.

 

[The best and greatest]

your going to get me started...

>the worlds best spawn point
>ethnically homogeneous within the continental united states
>absolutely NO external threats for thousands of years
>amazing geography, mild weather (comparatively and mostly)
>Incredibly rich in fauna and wildlife
>No written word, no permanent structures, honestly very little permanent "civilization" behind some mud huts in the California deserts and constantly infighting among themselves for no real reasons

I have so little time for the plight of the "natives" that arent even native to this CONTINENT and in fact migrated from Russia 12,000 years ago

I want them to have happy healthy good American lives, just so sick of this "stolen land" shit, there was a fight, they lost, like 78 times.

The first peoples in north America were also globally among the last to develop agriculture and didn't have access to beasts of burden the same way the old world did
South Americans had llamas at least, but even so most everything to do with labor in the new world revolved entirely around human labor. Another big reason for their lack of development is the continent being isolated from the rest of the world, meaning much like sub-Saharan Africa ideas and technologies couldn't spread through trade or contact with other cultures.

Really for all talk of having a baller 'spawn point' the new world is pretty gimped without horses or oxen.

Holy inflation

They need to do this they were wasting our money on dumb shit I can do that myself thank you very much.

Alright thats a valid line of thinking but I think that would make it like 12,000 years plus civilization, so it would be the same as giving credit to the Egyptians for the pyramids

If those mounds are in fact 12,000 years old that just helps reinforce my point that the people we know of that existed there had even LESS to claim they left behind

The govt is funded by taxes, them sending it back to the taxpayers would be the opposite of spending it. Bad word choice.

I expected Trump to start dropping hard truth tweets after he got his full cabinet in just to avoid any senators being gay, but he must know his bullying has completely worked. Or maybe they vote against Kash in protest and he just does a recess appointment and then docs the FBI on them ala Mendez.

I’d also love to see the final breakdown of firings in the government to see the % of men and women fired. I have a feeling it will be 80/20 women like it’s a Silicon Valley TikTok video.

 

[Thomas Talus]

why the fuck would voter purges, challenges, and ballot rejections be random? also, they don't ever go into why a voter might have had their ballot rejected, they just say that nigs had a 400% higher chance and leave it at that. obviously if they explain why, every single person in the country would understand it's because nigs are 400% more likely to fuck up their ballot or voter registration in some way.

Also that "400% higher rejection rate" study is based on... a heavily Democratic state.

I don't know about this one

I think in this case, the money has already been considered spent. It’s just being reallocated to the proper parties (the people). The money was already printed.

But this way it won’t be spent to fund condoms in Palestine to prevent those brown fucks from breeding while they rape.

Inflation is inevitable for many reasons, I'm more forgiving of this blatant bribe knowing that it's going to get bad regardless.

I suppose if congress isn't going to fix and just remove their stupid funding it than this is the best way to get it back. Personally I think I should get more of it and everyone else should get less. I'll come up with a moral reason for that later.

Holy inflation

I highly doubt it would increase inflation, especially since the money is already in circulation, just being redirected.

This isn't the place to discuss archaeology but there were permanent Native American settlements in North America. The Hopi did this in the middle of a shitty desert, the Iroquois dominated the northeast for centuries, and the Comanche were such assholes that - as @SpergioLeonne remarked - people still hate them. Many of their sites were outright destroyed when the tribes were conquered.

That would add up if they saved 1.5T which I don't think they've come close to.

 

[Getting Tard Comed Jr]

5k to every American does raise the inflation antenna. However where would that money go otherwise if it exists already? There are congressmen who will try and spend those "savings" on bullshit, so maybe it is best it goes to "the people". Probably would be better to pay down the debt.

 

[The Last Stand]

Another great American TV sitcom to check out is Get Smart. It's written by Mel Brooks and it stars a foxy Barbara Feldon as Agent 99.

@The Last Stand, if you aren't into that beautiful starlet then I will lose all respect for you.

Oooh, it's a parody show. I love parodies.

Okay, that's funny as hell.



Pretty funny.

Fry bread is good with cinamon sugar. Kinda like a churro.
