You’re saying it’s false advertising?

Nah, bro, no need. I didn't post it to flame you, just to show people where they can get the doc if they are interested in reading it further.

People read “fire nation sympathizer” and imagine they’re about to get invaded. You scared him into double posting, lol.

It’s a trap!

PS: takei rents out his account because if he doesn’t, they’ll withhold the secret aids meds

PPS: I’m seeing announcements that we have a trade deal with India

I cannot fucking believe that most news outlets are still talking about the Abrego Garcia case, "Signalgate," and how This Judge Will Take Down Trump For Sure This Time (We Promise). We were definitely spoiled the first few months of Trump.

the original damage came from the aftermath of the 1999 WTO summit in Seattle. That sparked a wave of venture capital using outsourcing as a free money hack.

Off the China topic, but this has made me remember something. That summit triggered large scale protests that were organised by a lot of the same groups that organise leftist protests now, student groups, NGOs, Anarchist and Marxist groups, unions, lefty-Christians, etc. It was the start of a large 'anti-globalization movement.'

And I think, it'd be a pretty safe bet that there were people at that protest, who were also involved in the pussy hat march, BLM, current Tesla protests and other similar protests in the last decade. But yet, most of Trump's economic and even diplomatic policies, are anti-globalist. At what point exactly did the goals of activists do a complete 180? Was it after Occupy? I've heard that theory a lot, but I've never really believed it, as I've never really believed that Occupy would have achieved anything. But the interests of activist groups, really seem to be the literal opposite of what they campaigned for 25 years ago.

I only watch about 1 in 10 JRE episodes, so I'm not sure about how ad filled they normally are.

Since a few months ago, he's been adding one or two shortish (45-60 seconds or so, plus legal disclaimers when necessary) ads at the beginning of most episodes; one about 5 minutes in, and the second one a bit later. Their placing is obnoxious as hell, literally in the middle of conversations, but that's about it. Lex Fridman's model of having a single, skippable block of ads in the first few minutes is much better in my opinion.

The alternative is talking about literally anything else. Even with this gayops from the media, Trump is more popular than he's ever been and more popular than most presidents. I heard he's even got a higher approval rating than King Negro himself, Saint Obama the Witless (PBUH).

They do NOT want to talk about how things are getting better for average Americans or how Trump is winning the trade war handily, how even China has kneeled, et cetera.

The fine details that were missed by critics is just how connected and influential America is; even if the citizens are going a little crazy.

Yeah but in this case, they’re talking about how chemistry turns petroleum products into polymers, and how China shot it’s foot off by making plastic unaffordable for Chinese factories to produce plastic shit even if they found alternative markets to sell it in

@HTTP Error 404 I thought we weren’t allowing China to kneel yet. Trump demanded xi himself negotiate, no proxies allowed

He’s really twisting the knife. Xi wont be able to make a deal that keeps his power base together. The factional pressure is going to be crazy. Xi just won’t agree to put himself in a position of that much responsibility

Trump knows about face culture so he’s pissing in Xi’s, evidencing my theory that this is about war more than even economics. Trump wants xi gone

obviously nothing "Maryland Dad" illegal criminal feels like

The media picked Floyd, a professional drug addict / woman beater, to deify for 2 years.

Picking terrible subjects and forcing the public to love them is part of the humiliation ritual.

Or closed and shut cases don’t generate as much traffic.

One of the two.
 
If a Judge gives an illegal some time to voluntarily deport themselves, and the deadline falls on a holiday or the weekend, SCOTUS says that the deadline is extended to the next following work day (unsurprising, as that's how FRCP works in regard to other deadlines too)
