I don't know if you need a med schedule change, sleep, or both but you've been coming across as very, very strange in a thread full of very strange people. If you can't figure out how important respect is and how it relates to culture in foreign policy, you need to reflect on the prior post that already explained it, and explained it well. You've been ping ponging back and forth so much from TDS to Trump is cool that it's becoming schizo and impossible to take you seriously anymore. Which is too bad because you've had some good posts in the past.

Trump seems to be fighting to bring respect back to the US, both on our own soil and worldwide. While I don't for a single second trust any country to be an ally anymore (including Israel) it's nice to see our head of state getting some respect because in turn it's giving respect to our nation, something that's been lacking for a long, long time.
Alright boss, Ill concede you very emotion laden point, Trump making a comment about his flip flops would have been culturally insensitive (IDK why this is the first time we are pearl clutching on this) but was yelling about Zelensky dress any less "insensitive" persay?

Is it such a mindblowing concept that I evaluate each action of the admin and president individually and can disagree or agree with certain decisions in the moment irregardless of my past understandings?

"But why should you keep your head over your shoulder? Why drag about this corpse of
your memory, lest you contradict somewhat you have stated in this or that public place?
Suppose you should contradict yourself; what then? It seems to be a rule of wisdom never
to rely on your memory alone, scarcely even in acts of pure memory, but to bring the past
for judgment into the thousand-eyed present, and live ever in a new day. In your
metaphysics you have denied personality to the Deity: yet when the devout motions of the
soul come, yield to them heart and life, though they should clothe God with shape and
color. Leave your theory, as Joseph his coat in the hand of the harlot, and flee.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and
philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as
well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words,
and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every
thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then,
to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther,
and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took
flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."

I don't and would not read too much into the results of India-Pakistan from the other week. Neither side wanted to fight a war.
Yeah. I'm going to need a bit more than a multi-day skirmish between camel fuckers and cow fuckers before I would draw "it's so over" types of conclusions.
 
Just for context, he is talking about a story in which a 13 year old boy was raped by a 35 -year-old teache

This is bad, however to liken it to the same situation if the sexes were reversed does help further the retarded idea that gender is a social construct.

I also have to consider what I wanted when I was 13/14/15, and it was pretty much just me imagining and fantasizing about something roughly along these lines until I was borderline insane. I seriously doubt, if he is anything like I was, that he would suffer anything like the same psychological trauma as, say, a boy molested by a homosexual man, or a girl molested by a man, and that's assuming that you're using the word "rape" to refer to sexual acts performed against the will of the victim, rather than using it to refer to sexual acts which may have even been initiated or instigated by the victim, but the victim was not legally able to consent.

Because if it is the latter, I have to imagine that if I were, say, 14 or 15 as a high school freshman, and managed to get into the pants of an attractive female teacher in her, say, late 20s, as opposed to a female student of the same age (as was not uncommon), and then this was revealed, I would have assumed I would be in huge trouble for doing this, and would likely find it hilarious to this day that I was somehow the victim in this situation, and furthermore that people use the word "rape" to refer to what happened.

Of course people will read this and shove words into my mouth, no this is not "good", and obviously there are a range of different possible situations, most of which absolutely qualify as "horrendous". I'm merely making a point that people see this issue as being black and white, and try to shuffle "male students who intentionally got with female teachers" (and are usually expressively proud of it) into the same category as creepy male teachers who molested female students. The two are not the same thing, because gender is more than a social construct. Apples and oranges.
 
It's interesting that Ukrainian refugees and draft dodgers never got the same treatment as these Afrikanner lot.

Nooooooo! How dare you not get raped and murdered by feral niggers!

Have any of these leftist dipshits ever thought that maybe these farmers are being saved so when South Africa realizes how badly they fucked up, there will be farmers they can beg to return?
“My Dumb Ass Just” dijo:
Have any of these leftist dipshits ever thought…
Oh, never mind.
 
Imagine being a rich fuck whose line of thought is...

This place needs niggers and homeless drug addicts and dangerhair troons.

I'm assuming Omaha isn't some pozzed dump like San Francisco.
They don't care as long as it doesn't effect their bottom line or them personally. Guaranteed Berkshire Hathaway will keep getting more kickbacks and benefits if not more than before.
"Potties/potholes," god-tier campaign memeing. No wonder he won.
Until Omaha has more potholes than ever before and the dude gets caught in bribery scandals or some gay shit. East Cleveland's a perfect example of the kind of scandals Black Mayors get into.
 
So Bluesky Democrats are sperging out over some Mayoral Race in Omaha because a democrat won and this totally proves that Drumpf is finished and people totally love troons.

Of course they'll ignore the fact that it was a low-level low-interest election that Reid Hoffman and other billionaires poured money into so they could get the Democrat over the finish line. It also so happens that Omaha is where Berkshire Hathaway is headquartered in, so very likely that Warren Buffett and/or other figures in the company were pouring money to the democrat as well.

meh it's BlandSky a ever dwindling progressive circle jerk. It's has almost no reach outside the target audience so no one really cares how crazy they get or what they say.

In fact most of the attention whore have moved back to Twitter despite swearing that they would never support Mr Nazi Man but their need for asspats outweighs any moral posturing they make.

We should consider ourselves (those of us on the right) lucky that so many of our sworn enemies are so fucking nuts they care more about getting updoots and likes then they do about actually making progress on their agenda. Imagine a world full of dedicated and motivated lefties who care about getting shit done rather then tweeting out their vague ideals and getting dem updoots and retwats.

God truly smiles upon us
 
Here's some more good news

Remember that judge that got in ICE's face and helped that illegal alien skedaddle out of the back of her courtroom?

Well she's now been officially indicted for:

on charges of concealing a person from arrest and obstruction of proceedings

She faces up to 6 years per charge and Bondi has said they will seek to hold her "accountable" which means (hopefully) more then just a slap on the wrist. With luck the Trump team will see this as an opportunity to send a message to all the activist judges who think their black robes make them untouchable.

Sentence her to the max and let her sit in a minimum security cell for 10 years as a warning to those who think just because "they're on the right side of history" the law doesn't apply to them. A lot of this shit will dry up when the Proggies realize that they can't rely on a friendly justice system to get them out of trouble while they go about their masters business. Every time they go out to "fight the system" they now have to deal with actual consequences of their actions.

Must be a terrible shock to the system for these Proggies who've had their asses covered for the last few decades to be suddenly arrested and held and OMG charged for the shit they pull.

Lol, you think female students don't intentionally get with those "creepy male teachers'? Don't fantasize about it like you did? Its the exact same situation, with the exact same negative effects.

A bit outdated of a concept, but if we're making America great again, let's make flying boats great again. Boeing probably DOES have the blueprints for this thing in cold storage somewhere.

Dogulas was still big. Lots of military contracts like the Hornet. That and they were the third wheel in the passanger jet market. It wasn't a regular merger because Boeing and Mcdonald were similar in size already. There was a lot of potential from Boeing's end. They could scoop up Dogulas's contracts, make all their military jets, all that shit, it was going to be fucking great. Nope. In came their executive suite in this massive, gigantic merger. A tale of American pride. Honestly wish that the Government had stopped it in the end. But hey, we got the Super Hornet out of it. That's neat.
The government encouraged the merger since the post cold war environment was terrible for Douglas as a primarily military contractor
 
https://youtube.com/watch?v=yuCpuHQy4RoFirst off, we'd need to repeal the civil rights act. Or just the section of it that deals with freedom of association.

Have the GOP go about, saying the civil rights act needs to be destroyed. Then wait for the outrage from the left. Then walk back to the position of "ok, we're gonna repeal just the part about the freedom of association." Art of the deal, baby.
Nah, too much of a minefield and people are ignorant of what the Civil Right's act actually involves, other than it sounds nice and important due to the name. Instead of Art of the Deal, you need to take a page from the liberal's playbook and mess around with wordgames instead. The problem with Republicans removing the civil rights act, is that people will only see what is in bold. What you need to do is write a new bill that will overwrite some of the CRA legislation under the guise of "improving" or "clarifying" it, while not directly touching the CRA bill its self.
