You knew it was going to be bad when even Trump's people were like... ehh better not

Not in terms of doing it, as they're all child rapists. The fact that he's probably going to get busted for it is what keeps them away

Sounds like the statute of limitations already expired on it as a sex crime... something Democrats wanted to remove limitations on but Republicans, for obvious reasons, need to keep extremely limited.

I wonder if Gaetz went to any of Diddy's parties.

"ain't no party like a Diddy party!"

I have a feeling that Trump went to Diddy's parties in the past.

Trump called Diddy "a good friend of mine" in a video.

He was friends with Epstein and Diddy but no way did he engage in sexual activity even tho he is unable to avoid it in any other scenarios and has a healthy disregard for women in general. Yes sir that’s the story and he’s sticking to it.

So this piece of Orange trash is once again trash talking about us (along with Greenland and Panama), and a bunch of people in my social media feed -- mostly people with Canadian citizenship / PR status -- are sharing his comments like it is worthy of the July 4 celebrations:

Quote:
if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World."
I wonder what they would really feel like if the provinces where they live in join the United States, and they start realizing the social benefits that the Canadian federal and provincial govs have been providing them with are no long there...

A bunch of maga influencers who are against imagration got blocked on x. They can't buy a blue check mark anymore. One of them is Laura Loomer.

Laura Loomer (aka Jigsaw) is really spitting facts on Elon - really got me nodding along in agreement which was not on my 2024-2044 bingo card (I expect I'll become a conspiracy theorist hard right activist in my old age).

The cons have been attacking the school system for decades and now they have a shortage of educated people. You see all these memes of someone with a degree making 40k a year and someone in trades making 100k plus. Alot of brainwashed cons thinking education is a waste of money.

Cheeto’s to do list on Day 1 of his presidency:

https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2024...n-promises-dg/


Close the US-Mexico border

Begin what Trump says will be “the largest deportation program in American history”

Expedite permits for drilling and fracking
Roll back environmental regulations

Pardon people convicted of crimes related to the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol

Sign an executive order that would cut federal funding for any school “pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content onto the lives of our children.”

Roll back President Joe Biden’s electric vehicle policies

Enact tariffs on goods coming in from Mexico, Canada and China

The Republicans ultimate goal is to ram through voucher programs as a means to essentially strangle out funding to public schools, the piece of shit Greg Abbott here in Texas is making that his primary agenda next year:

https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11...chers-funding/

In Texas some of their cities rank in the top 5 nationally for least literate:

https://time.com/9549/the-5-least-li...es-in-america/

It's a travesty how these Republicans believe in stifling funding for public institutions, the above is an example of those results, I've actually been quite surprised by the lack of education in this state from my anecdotal observations through benign conversations.

Sure countries in Europe have higher taxes, yet on average people can fluently speak 2-4 different languages. A robust public education system is paramount to the future of any advanced civilization, it's frankly disgusting you have people running government with the short sighted mentality of only enriching themselves in the present, and fuck the future entirely.

Lmao, so Elon has basically turned the racist MAGA crowd upside down and in full meltdown mode with his pro-immigrant stance. Even Trump came out today supporting H1B visas. MAGA is starting to realize they got trolled by the biggest troll of them all. The funniest part? They actually thought the richest person in the world was a closet Nazi.

Instead, he played everyone, including Trump, and gained control of the country. Now he’s set to do the same with the UK and Germany by backing the far-right and securing a stronghold in Europe and the EU. It's comedy gold.

At this point, Elon is unstoppable. He's got too much money, too much power, and if he can win an election somewhere in the EU, it's literally game over. He'll loosen whatever regulations in the US to benefit himself and his companies, do the same with the EU, and use this power in the West to gain favours with China.

What's interesting is that the hardcore MAGA loyalist, like Steve Bannon, had already called out Elon and warned the movement that he was a leftist planted within it. I believe Steve Bannon went after him today, but at this stage, it's too late. Trump isn't running again and could care less about MAGA and the rednecks who voted for him. For Trump this time around it's about making money for himself, his family and friends.

I hope German voters will do the right thing and keep AfD at bay. I feel like the (non-far right) German legislators have their minds and hearts in the right place, but they have become deeply unpopular among a good portion of the German public.

If the German Bundestag can manage to stave off the AfD in February, I wonder if they'll try anything to mess with Elon Musk at his Gigafactory Berlin? At this point, Musk has basically become a foreign interference at the German election. It would almost make sense for Germany to get back at Musk and Tesla for the sake of (their) national security.

Likely the biggest reason.

Trump 2.0 definitely has less energy than when he first ran for president. It’s likely due to his age, as he’s 78 now, but also because being president is far from glamorous. The thing about Trump is he's always been more effective as a showman, rallying crowds, selling gold sneakers, and positioning himself as the underdog fighting against the establishment. That role fits his personality far better than the daily grind of being president.

Does anyone know why Trump's inauguration is also on the same day as Martin Luther King Day? January 20th.

MLK Day is a day to remember and honour that civil rights leader. An important day for African Americans.

Is Cheeto going to use inflammatory language to say something about "the blacks?" Hmmm.

He likes to use MLK sometimes as if he was buddies with him when saying derogatory things about black people…. Like MLK wouldn’t be proud of them or that they’ll never be great like he was.

But when he talks to white people MLK doesn’t exist.
