Hasan called for the murder of a Florida senator live on air. This is after he tweeted the instructions on how to make the homemade gun that killed Abe in response to IIRC the same senator. He's also had multiple Islamic terrorists on his show, and said that Jewish babies are valid targets for terrorist bombings. Standard Hasan bullshit from Buffalo Jr.

It's a temp ban, apparently, based on the error message? Hasan is fucking furious however as he doesn't believe he did anything wrong (he's already trying to gaslight claiming he was saying "death penalty" not murder) -- this is standard Hasan bullshit tricks, supposedly, whenever he's called out he gaslights and does whatever he can to obfuscate and spread bullshit about things. Since the CEO of twitch is his personal friend, and the ban was... around noon? I'm guessing someone at Twitch HQ got to explain why Hasan's allowed to say that sort of thing on Twitch to a Secret Service or FBI agent who stopped by the office this morning.

He's also super pissed the "alt-right" like Tim Pool, Asmangold, The Quartering, etc didn't go to bat to defend his free speech rights. Hasan has repeatedly used his audience to harass other streamers including mass flagging attacks, so most of them are of the opinion that he should go sit on a Christmas Tree and spin.

The only good thing is if it's a flat out 30 day ban it royally fucks Hasan, as anyone who was subbed would have to manually go to his page and re-sub. Most people don't do that. A 3 day ban is rough (any renewals on those 3 days fail), a 7 day ban is basically 25% of your monthly income vanishing and you have to re-build it, a 30 day ban would drop your income to 0, and you'd have to rebuild.

It's almost definitely a 3 day ban that will be removed after 2 days and some change.
 
24 hours and 60 pages, great
It's now named after Corporal Fred G. Benning, a WWI veteran.
its rather telling how every confederate seems to have some grandkid who loved america so much they proudly served meanwhile not a single piece of shit whining about the confederates will have grandchildren that will love this country enough to serve in the military, hell 99% of the people whining about the confederacy didn't even have grandparents that were US citizens.

Even if they're not related, it really goes to show everyone knows "classic" american names vs the names of liberals

Of course his stupid ass would try to deflect. And only a temp banned?? People get perma banned for so much less.
 
The Soviets were fucking evil and trying to whitewash them is disgusting. There is a reason people built literal hot air balloons to hop that fence.
No disagreement regarding the Soviets being evil but East Germany (and more specifically, Eric Honecker) was much more stubbornly Stalinist relative to most of the Eastern Bloc, including the USSR that had liberalized in many ways under Khrushchev. I think the German mentality is generally just broken towards arrogant totalitarianism and the current trend in German politics is just returning to the mean.
 
The only way to address the deficit is to reduce government spending, or increase taxes, both of which will reduce GDP.

This is just wrong. The government does not produce anything. Any dollar that it spends is one it has borrowed from nowhere (creating inflation) or that it has taxed from its citizens. A reduction in government spending does not reduce GDP because that dollar remains with the taxpayers who are free to spend it on whatever they wish. Increasing taxation could theoretically pay down the deficit faster, but good luck getting the government to committing to paying down the deficit instead of finding more useless NGOs to throw the money at.

This was for cloture, so it needed 60 votes to then be officially voted on. Just die on tranny hill, people will love that you're doing this than anything to "lower prices n' sheeeeeittt."

They're really doing this, huh? They're really full-sending it for the foreseeable future. Interesting, let's see how it plays out for them.


There is NO FUCKING WAY they're going to start using this rhetoric now. They're out of their goddamn MINDS. They have a lot of nerve.

Toss clocks at me if I'm late and gay on this, but supposedly Trump is gonna fuck up USPS:


r/usps and a handful of various servers run by or for that community (discord, IRC, Facebook, etc.) have been locking down for the last few hours because people are losing their shit. And also this is still sort of a rumor at this point.

So, as it happens, this turned out to be rumor and little more. Granted, it's the kind of thing Trump would want to do, so it's worth being aware of.
