Before you get too upset, just know that this asshole is getting hammered for taking this absurd stance.
How the fuck can someone with Ukrainian and Palestinian flags mock the pain of Riley’s family and not have their fucking brain implode with hypocrisy so dense it forms a singularity?
 
Anyone else think Trump's plan to clean up the cities is not a publicity stunt or just civic duty but an attempt to weaken Democrat funding by weakening organised crime in their cities.
An unintended boon rather than an actual conscious goal, I would assume.

Trump is a bull in a china shop, not a mastermind. He's very impulsive and has a knack for landing on his feet and getting what he wants in the end, so here's hoping.

By nature having the capital not be a democratic cesspit will weaken the Liberals, as the people who work for the government and live there will be forced to acknowledge that it is possible to have a safe and orderly place when you stop pushing horrible agendas. Whether or not that lesson will stick is a different question, but if they find themselves suddenly able to find a place to live that's a short commute from work but is still a safe community, they may be forced to ask themselves if everything CNN says is really true or not

I really believe that you would have to be naive to think that any politician would target the kind of organized crime that funds politics. And it certainly isn't the kind of crime that can be dislodged by national guardsmen. Only a body with broad investigatory powers such as the FBI could do it.

You attack organized crimes from both levels. You get some of your best detectives to find and track the head honochos but then you institute a no tolerance policy for the foot soldiers as well. And clearing out the drug dens hurts their bottom line real fast.

What I meant to imply is that the street level stuff is the least important and relevant of all potential black money pools. You could get rid of all of that, and make the cities perfectly safe. But after that, you would have to continue following the money. And I doubt that path would take a politician who values his life in a direction that he would want to be going down. I am somewhat of a Richard Nixon fan but even I admit that some of the ways in which he procured his 'war chest' was shady. 50 years later and not much has changed!

America is the central node in which cash flows in exchange for influence. From my outsider perspective DC is set up in such a way as to perfectly convert cash to influence. To begin with, consider the lobbying groups of all stripes. And the Super PACs. Then you have a bunch of smaller schemes. Think for instance USAID, the revolving door for corporate executives in the regulatory state and the cash-for-ambassadorship schemes that go on. Ontop of that, you have situations where foreigners invest hugely in American companies as a backdoor to American influence. For an example look into Saudi Influence in CitiGroup. Wikileaks leaked something proving the extent of citygroup influence into the Obama presidency. There is SO MUCH money flowing IN to the American political system every day its difficult to fathom. It would be impossible to clean this up without complete campaign financing reform. Like hell they will...

Then we should also consider the organized crime element, which was the whole point of your post. The mafia does drug dealing and pimping for sure. And its probably good money. But thats a subsidiary enterprise to the real gold rush. Leveraging union connections to take over legitimate business areas. They did this with 'waste management' and 'construction'. Local authorities do from time to time step in to curb this when the mafia goes too far but all that means is that the mob guys have to become even more legitimate. Authorities have said that the mob has shrunk in recent years but what if it only looks like that because now they are almost identical to legitimate businessmen. And there is a reason why this doesn't go away. The mob allows the glowies and the deep state to use this black money as a slush fund to pay for things that congress would not be thrilled to discover in review. Think of the anti Castro Cubans or the colour revolutions. If you tried to investigate this you would be dead within a day
 
He just offended the boss by joking about politics.

The best policy regarding work and politics is not to talk politics there. When I'm on the clock, politics doesn't exist
Hell, that’s half the reason I’m on KF. It’s anonymous. I once had to sign some BS social media contract with my company. I’m not even sure how legal that is, but I’m not going to bother with a lawyer. With my luck I’ll end up with a Rekieta and not a Hardship Hardin.

Anyway, I’m not sure that person is telling the whole truth, or any truth for that matter. Who has to turn in uniforms? Usually those are taken out of your first paycheck. Are there jobs where they provide you with some used uniforms that they just keep in the back and they may or may not be your size? Never heard of that.
 
I think the biggest losers of power hypothetically moving from Trump to Vance will be Europe.

I don't think the euroboomers really comprehend just how much negative sentiment surrounds europe for American millennials and zoomers. Baby boomers in America have a kind of innate fondness for Europe that is almost entirely absent in the under-50s and there's a lot of assumptions about the trans-Atlantic relationship that are going to immediately come into dispute for a millennial president.

Europe has been irrelevant in the world stage for close to 2 decades now and is accelerating. It's only value is as a consumer market and that use dies once the consumers are suddenly unable to consume due to not producing anything and being taxed to high hell. Something will definitely break in the next 10 years in Europe unless they stop being snotty faggots and start learning the Trump lessoms, but I know how unlikely that is. "At least we aren't like borish Americans" is the suicidal anthem here.
Aaaah, a nice cup of FAFO to put a pep in my step!

The three victims of the Indian immigrant truck driver who made an illegal U-turn across a Florida highway earlier this month have been identified as Haitian immigrants, according to officials.

The driver Herby Dufresne, 30, and passengers Faniola Joseph, 27, and Rodrigue Dor, 53, all Haitian immigrants, were in their minivan when it plowed into the side of an 18-wheeler driven by Harjinder Singh, an immigrant from India, on Aug. 12, the Miami Herald reported.


At the time of the fatal accident, all three men were on the way to Indiana, where Dor relocated after failing to secure work in Miami, a friend told the outlet.



All's well that ends well
Thank god nothing of value was lost but where the hell did the mother and 2 children thing come from then?
 
Don't mind me, just posting this here for posterity. Endorsing a candidate that wants to prevent similar tragedies is a big "sieg heil" moment apparently.
Mike Collins is a good candidate. I'm curious who they get to replace him in the house however.

It's one of the most famous statues in the world and I somehow never noticed the baby riding a dolphin before.
The grandeur of Caesar has that effect.
 
Colour me surprised that this isn't actually a requirement. You'd think subsidised housing would rightfully require proof of citizenship to actually qualify,

So when California had prop 187 that basically said "to get services we will varify citizenship" it was defeated by lawfare.

Namely that immigration is a federal matter, and needs to be handled by the feds not the states.

Human Urban development is handles section 8 but doesnt administer the voucers directly. The funds are given to public housing agencies.

for example the agency that handles housing hatian niggers in spring field oh is called the spring field metropliantian housing authority.

vs say

New York City housing authority.

The courts have ruled that such agencies cant do such reviews. Its a federal matter.
 
AI has neither state nor memory. It can't "develop" anything.
It's seriously like magic to some people. Thinking it can develope a morality is the same technological understanding as that first season Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode where they download a demon from the interwebz.

I use it in software development and in an inteligent world, it would replace all the shit indians in tech. It will do what I tell it without ever telling me "no" or without any opposition (yes Saar, of course Saar), a good amount of times it will do something completely unrelated if not outright lie and I have to treat it like if it was retarded. Difference is that AI gives me a response in minutes instead of the days/weeks a pajeet gives, so definitely an improvement from that lens.
