He is an easy target to attack. Why is the Trump Administration inviting someone connected to Russia disinformation campaigns? This will be the line in the MSM and on social media

I don't think you need to play respectability politics 100% of the time, but it does make things easier to deal with.
I have talked with some borderline-TDS relatives and defended the inclusion of new media and shake up of how media is included. I am not going to defend Tim Pool being invited for the simple reason that it is retarded to invite anyone linked to Russia, convicted or not, while the story is still relatively recent.
Lauren Chen was the one who actually played ball with them, hence she disappeared.

If there was anything related to that, that Timmy could get fucked with, he would’ve been fucked before trump got into office

So ?

Do you honestly think the media sperging on beanie man would actually move the needle in any meaningful way ?
 
This thread sure attracts a lot of low IQ schizos like this Macintosh fellow.

I miss John Badman with his trade war doom and stock loss porn.
 
This is the one thing I hoped RFK would do in his position. ITT and others, Kiwis have discussed the negative impact these artificial days have on people. So, I'm happy to see the news these are being phased out - hopefully once and for all.

It will be a good day when my student loans are finally paid off. I can imagine lots of people just didn't resume payment when they unpaused student loans. Bad move, at least petition for a deferment or something lol
I don't think most people realize lenders/creditors don't want to deal with people going into default on any sort of loan to the point that a number of them are willing to work with people having a legitimate hardship that prevents them making the full monthly payment. Whether its a deferment, extended payment terms, etc. there are plenty of options available.

Unfortunately, everyone got too accustomed to the COVID era when student loans were paused and extra unemployment gibs were the norm. They were so excited at both that they refused to prepare for the day those would be discontinued. Now, they're all pikachu-faced at being told it's time to start paying back the money they borrowed as per their promissory notes. It's part of the bigger trend where nobody wants to honor or respect their commitments.

I'm not complaining about this post, but it just reminded how great it would be if we as Americans never had to know what ethnic group X was doing to group Y in country Z where the names are pure Scrabble nonsense like "Rohingya...." we shouldn't have to be burdened with this kind of knowledge, nor arbitrate who did or didn't commit a genocide etc... so tired of third world affairs
George Washington talked all the fucking time about how much he hated foreign affairs and that he envisioned the US as a country that doesn't need their influence and shouldn't worry about what other countries are doing. Completely self reliant. There are literally hundreds of quotes of Washington talking about this but possibly his most famous and to the point quote is "History and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican Government." It drives me so crazy that George Washington, the man himself, laid out almost every kind of threat that America will face in the future and how easily these things can destroy America and no one listened to him, it went in one ear and out the other to most people and hundreds of years later all the things Washington warned about were 100% correct.

No, it doesn't actually matter and I know he was not found guilty of anything. But it is going to be another round of screeching from leftist media that will be very annoying.
I am just saying that it would have been very easy to pick someone else who does not have such history. Yes, it is not fair, but inviting him is simply dumb. I don't think this will be a major story, just pointing out as an example of how the Trump administration keeps making their own life more difficult for no reason at all

Do you think this is a good idea? Would you have chosen him or someone else?
 
Another thing: unsourced infographics will be mocked.
Unless they’re hand drawn and funny

@Soggy paper straw i don’t feel like that’s going to have the efficacy going forward. The more people understand trumps posture towards China, the more his overtures to Russia look like what they are, which is attempts to fracture the Chinese axis.

That’s understandable, isn’t it? The hump to get over is the left stopping schilling for China. I don’t think THAT is a position any more popular than putting male trannies in female prisons

Fucks like Jamie Raskin, trying to talk out of both sides of their mouths, are going to be increasingly frantic as shit falls apart

Your point is well taken but you are assigning Tim Pool a bit too much importance. They may go after him as you say and make those attacks. But it will be a battle of inches in a war of miles.
 
Let's Go Brandon
