[“Token” the Neigermiester]

The old-school religious right was completely counterproductive because its goal was always to grift, not to move culture in any real way. Some guy with a billowy hairdo going on TV and telling little old ladies that Pokemon was teaching devil worship to children so they would send him their social security checks. They were prescient on some things, like gay indoctrination in schools, but it was almost accidental and for everything they were right about there were many things they were pants-on-head retarded about.

The side-effect of this is that many kids growing up had their D&D books or video games taken away and burned by their parents who took one of the aforementioned morons seriously, and many more kids knew someone who this happened to. This bred in them a ferocious hatred for anything identified as "religious" or "traditional" and they filled the void with the dogmas of Reddit atheism and LGBTBBQ. The grifters didn't offer them a reason to adhere to Christianity or traditional American culture, just threats and fearmongering about the devil hiding under every rock.

Throw shit at the wall constantly, and you’ll catch dysentery.

 

[The Ugly One]

Your first point is fair - no one asked them to do that. I don't think Brits do that to impress the US, I think they do it because their government is infested with academic Marxist technocrats.

No, because "BIPOC reclaiming the Scottish highlands" makes zero sense in the context of Britain. There were never any niggers in Scotland to be kept out of the highlands, so there's nothing for niggers to "reclaim." The fundamental divides in Britain are class, not race. That's why Marxism in Britain found its natural home in the class divide right from the beginning. There weren't any niggers in the UK to feel bad about oppressing, so no Marxian social justice movement could center on them. The problem was that the 1960s Civil Rights movement in America revolved almost entirely around race, and the British worship America. But you can't be a cool anti-racist civil rights activist if there aren't any niggers around for people to be racist to. So Britain brought niggers to the UK solely so they could fight racism like liberals in America do, and their left wing dumped class politics to focus entirely on racial politics simply because they felt it would make them more like America.

This is a very good abridging of what happened, yes. I don't think I was old enough to get D&D books taken away, and thank fuck my family wasn't crazy enough to do stuff like that. I actually got to have FUN growing up. Your post has made me realize the cyclical nature of time always has one group that needs to ruin the fun for everyone else, then they get mocked and replaced by someone new trying to ruin everyone's fun after people wise up. The problem is how loud they're doing it and how quickly people notice.

You vill NOT say ze N-Word. You vill NOT call fat women unattractive. And you VILL call ze vhite men sexist and evil.

I have officially closed twitter.

fuck the left. fuck joe biden. fuck kamala. fuck illegal migrants. fuck niggers. fuck foreign aid. fuck their wars. fuck taxes. fuck the government. you do not hate them enough

 

[The Last Stand]

You know what? I think Rittenhouse was a stupid kid who took a gun to a riot zone. I genuinely believe that he should have stayed home.

Why was there a "riot zone" to begin with? You mean to tell me a 17 year old has more personal agency than the "adults" around him, yet he was punished for it? The whole thing should not had happened to begin with.

 

[The Nothingness]

the middle east was pretty much a 1st world country in the 70s I hear. How much you wanna bet jews played a part in their downfall?

R: “What do you have to say about what’s going on in North Carolina, with Hurricane Helene ravaging towns and communities?”

Repub: “Well it’s a tragedy, I’ve met with those people and it’s sad and we have to look out for them… but look what’s going on in Israel. Israel is being hit with barrages of missiles from Iran…”

Real conversation on the news.

It really grinds my gears when the same conservative personalities who point the amount money we give to other countries make excuses for Israel because "they're fighting our enemies!" or some bullshit.

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

No, because "BIPOC reclaiming the Scottish highlands" makes zero sense in the context of Britain.

It makes perfect sense if you're dealing with grifters trying to make money and gain political power. Also academics who want to rise through the ranks. It's a classic marketing technique of introducing a problem to people that they didn't know they had.

The fundamental divides in Britain are class, not race. That's why Marxism in Britain found its natural home in the class divide right from the beginning.

I will concede this. Class politics are far more entrenched in British politics than American, and it's pretty tough for Americans to grasp this concept because it is so alien to us.

But you can't be a cool anti-racist civil rights activist if there aren't any niggers around for people to be racist to. So Britain brought niggers to the UK solely so they could fight racism like liberals in America do, and their left wing dumped class politics to focus entirely on racial politics simply because they felt it would make them more like America.

I disagree with the UK importing blacks to be "cool." Black people started coming to Britain from Commonwealth countries - e.g. Jamaica and Barbados - for work. These islands had fuck all going on, so people went to the place that had jobs. Since the Brits do not have racial hangups like Americans do, they were fine with it.

Where I absolutely agree with you is that the British left then transferred American-style race politics into the UK where it never really existed, but people glommed onto it because it was trendy.

Why was there a "riot zone" to begin with? You mean to tell me a 17 year old has more personal agency than the "adults" around him, yet he was punished for it? The whole thing should not had happened to begin with.

I agree with you, but my position is that Rittenhouse would never have had any issues if he stayed home. That's it. I agree that he defended himself, I agree that the riots were fucking retarded and funded by Marxist agitators, and I think the prosecution in that case was pants-on-head retarded. It got to a point that I think Bruce Schroeder really wanted throw the case out simply because the prosecuting lawyers were fucking annoying, but knew he could not due to the politics of the case.

And regardless if the Israel had never been established or had been placed in fucking Greenland no the US and Europe were most certainly going to fuck around in the Middle East. It holds nearly 50% of the world's oil reserves. The British knew this and saw the huge opportunity, so they sent TE Lawrence over there and the rest is history because NO FUCKING WAY was Europe going to let the Turks just have all that in their domain.

The inhabitants of that region would've never been able to extract those resources and realize that wealth anyway without Western tech and know-how. Colonialism brought (drug) them out of the 10th Century whether any of them will admit it or not. That's the uncomfortable truth of the matter.

Melania Trump says she supports abortion rights, putting her at odds with the GOP​

Spoiler: Article

CHICAGO (AP) — Melania Trump revealed her support for abortion rights Thursday ahead of the release of her upcoming memoir, exposing a stark contrast with her husband, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, on the crucial election issue.

In a video posted to her X account Thursday morning, the former first lady defended women’s “individual freedoms” to do what they want with their body — a position at odds with much of the Republican Party and her own husband, who has struggled to find a consistent message on abortion while wedged between anti-abortion supporters within his base and the majority of Americans who support abortion rights.

“Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that I safeguard,” she said in the video. “Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth: individual freedom. What does ‘my body, my choice’ really mean?”

The video appears to confirm excerpts of her self-titled memoir reported by The Guardian on Wednesday.

Melania Trump has rarely publicly expressed her personal political views and has been largely absent from the campaign trail. But in her memoir, set to be released publicly next Tuesday, she argues that the decision to end a pregnancy should be left to a woman and her doctor, “free from any intervention of pressure from the government,” according to the published excerpts.

“Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body?” she wrote, according to The Guardian. “A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.”

Melania Trump writes that she has “carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life.”

These views contrast sharply with the GOP’s anti-abortion platform and with Donald Trump, who has repeatedly taken credit for appointing the three Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe v. Wade and boasted about returning the abortion question to the states. Democrats have blamed the former president for the severe deterioration of reproductive rights as abortion bans were implemented in large swaths of the country following the overturning of the landmark case, which had granted a constitutional right to abortion.

The national abortion group SBA Pro-Life America denounced the former first lady’s views on abortion, including her comments on abortion later in pregnancy, but said their “priority is to defeat Kamala Harris.”

“Women with unplanned pregnancies are crying out for more resources, not more abortions,” the organization’s president Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement to the AP. “We must have compassion for them and for babies in the womb who suffer from brutal abortions.”

Vice President Kamala Harris ' campaign noted Trump’s role in ending Roe v. Wade in a statement reacting to Melania Trump’s defense of abortion rights.

“Sadly for the women across America, Mrs. Trump’s husband firmly disagrees with her and is the reason that more than one in three American women live under a Trump Abortion Ban that threatens their health, their freedom, and their lives,” Harris campaign spokesperson Sarafina Chitika said in a statement. “Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear: If he wins in November, he will ban abortion nationwide, punish women, and restrict women’s access to reproductive health care.”

Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would veto a federal abortion ban, the first time he has explicitly said so after previously refusing to answer questions on the subject. Abortion rights advocates are skeptical, however, saying Trump cannot be trusted
not to restrict reproductive rights.

Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said the memoir is another example of “the Trumps playing voters like a fiddle.”

“As president, (Trump) made it his mission to get Roe v. Wade overturned,” she said in a statement. “Melania stood by him, never once publicly disavowing his actions until weeks before an election where our bodies are again on the ballot and they are losing voters to this issue. Read between the lines.”

Democratic strategist Brittany Crampsie called the memoir’s release a “clear attempt to appeal to more moderate voters and to moderate JD Vance’s very clearly extreme views on the issue.” But she is skeptical that the move would work in favor of Trump, saying his shifting views “have already confused voters and sowed distrust.”

Melania Trump also defends abortions later in pregnancy, asserting that “most abortions conducted during the later stages of pregnancy were the result of severe fetal abnormalities that probably would have led to the death or stillbirth of the child. Perhaps even the death of the mother.”

“These cases were extremely rare and typically occurred after several consultations between the woman and her doctor,” she writes.

These views appear diametrically opposed to her husband, who has often parroted misinformation about abortions later in pregnancy, falsely claiming that Democrats support abortion “after birth,” though infanticide is outlawed in every state.

Mary Ruth Ziegler, a law professor at the University of California, Davis School of Law who focuses on reproductive rights law and history, said it is unclear if the memoir’s release so close to the election was an attempt to help Donald Trump. But she did note that Melania Trump’s split from Trump on the issue is not uncommon historically.

There is “a pretty deep history of first ladies being more supportive of abortion rights than their husbands,” including Betty Ford, a vocal abortion rights supporter and the wife of former President Gerald Ford, Ziegler said.

Donald Trump promoted his wife’s book at a September rally in New York, calling on supporters to “go out and get her book.” It is unclear if the former president has read the book.

“Go out and buy it,” he told the crowd. “It’s great. And if she says bad things about me, I’ll call you all up, and I’ll say, ‘Don’t buy it.’”

Trump’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment Thursday about Melania Trump’s book or video.

TL;DR: Melania not only supports abortion, but she supports late term abortion and decided that now was a good time to let the world know this. Kamabla has already seized on the opportunity to exploit this information.

Not sure whether this was some bizarre strategic move to appeal to female voters, or just a bad miscalculation on Trump’s part. The last thing the campaign needs to be doing is bringing more attention to abortion.

Melania Trump allowed to have her own opinion, even if it is wrong. I don't excommunicate people over most disagreements.

I agree with you, but my position is that Rittenhouse would never have had any issues if he stayed home. That's it.

That's an easy cop-out. He was at the wrong place at the right time given horrible conditions to indirectly say: Actions have consequences. Staying home is an option, yes. But, those rioters could've "stayed home" too. The state give them no risk or consequence of their disturbances. The people are forced to "submit" lest THEY suffer consequences.

[Malodorous Merkin]

There absolutely should never be women in high risk/violence jobs like Policing and it's insanity to even suggest women firefighters.

It's as simple as that men naturally will go out of their way to protect women, and if that natural impulse conflicts with the training and situational awareness it will result in tragedy. And that's not even discussing the uncomfortable truth that they lower standards for women meaning you just have more employees who are inept at their job.

Lord have mercy on that Kim Potter who got out last year. I bet she regrets thinking she was enough of a girlboss to be on patrol.

A reminder that GI Jane, the movie that had Demi Moore in the role of the first female Navy SEAL, was released back in 1997.

27 years later, and the total number of females that have made it through BUDS training(the boot camp of NAVY SEALs training) stands at exactly ZERO.

so the CBP One app just lets illegal niggers fly in whenever they want????

From what I can tell of watching recent videos about the Border.

CBP One is designed to streamline immigration services. But is either deliberately designed shit or intentionally designed to be shit.

It has an option in the app to request entry to the US thru a Port of Entry. But for some reason they didn't set it with any location checking so you can just be in Haiti - download the app on your phone and request your spot in the queue.

Even McDonalds doesn't trigger your order till you show up on location so y'know

So a bunch of people download the app. Pay cartels stupid money to help them get to a port of entry. And you sit there till it's your turn in the queue.

If your lucky - the govt might pay for some flights but I don't think you can request that in the app.

You do need a US sponsor for even the Temporary Protection visa being doled out. The question is who is sponsoring all these immigrants?

I can go on for hours about how the gay rights movement was an op to trick gay men into destroying the concept of love for themselves after getting the right to marry (and I loathe everything about that.)

Why do you think literal Oldfags have been so bitter about the state of things and try to flee to quieter places and gated communities?
