  1. France's insistence on maintaining nuclear reprocessing plants is going to be a massive boon to nuclear re-armament in Europe. ... ... Wait a minute, I thought this president was supposed to help prevent nuclear war?? What gives???
  2. He just wants his congregation to see Jesus a little earlier, is all
  3. Musks personal bodyguards were deputized as Marshals during the trump transition. He has his own private police force with a state license for violence https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/politics/elon-musk-private-security-deputized-marshals-service/index.html
  4. So it really seems like Devon and Cobel were pretty familiar on the phone... Especially considering the last time they saw each other. I think Cobel is shifting to "burn it all down" mode. She was ok not getting credit for the severance procedure, but only if she got to run it. The last thing an Eagan said to her was that she "overestimated her contributions", when they in fact stole from her. She doesn't love Lumon, but she does have a weird faith in Kier Gonna be an interesting ride to finish the season
  5. Yeah they already tried to disappear the Tuskegee Airmen. Classic apartheid.
  6. Lol management consultant confirmed
  7. They don't dislike that he lies, they think he's telling the truth and just being foiled by the evil libs. It's a classic fascist technique: paint your enemy as equally inept and all powerful. When you need to be victimized to boost your base, the enemy is powerful. When you need to thump your chest and make a scene, the enemy is weak and helpless and begging to be crushed. It's called cognitive dissonance. It's a hell of a drug
  8. I think the point they're trying to make that you're overlooking is that you can't "out market" lies. Especially when they WANT to believe those lies.
  9. What are you talking about? An insider was able to 50x off of this clownfiesta!
  10. this is MBA brainrot thinking in action. You know, the kind of shit where a new asshole comes in and says "YOU'RE SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY!! WE NEED TO LOWER SG&A!!! Nevermind that the SG&A expendatures are driving a 10x in revenue for the money they're spending. It's just completely decoupled and intentionally uncritical thinking. It's how the corporate business world works, and that's what's running the show now.
  11. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/12/spacex-repeatedly-polluted-waters-in-texas-tceq-epa-found.html https://defenders.org/sites/default/files/CBBEP_Boca Chica shorebird nests losses - June 6 2024_0.pdf Turns out aerospace chemicals and a massive level of noise is really REALLY bad for wildlife. It poisons the water and literally crushes eggs with sound Fortunately for SpaceX, that pesky Clean Water Act juuuuuuust got gutted so he's probably in the clear on that. (not an expert but expert findings aren't hard to find)
  12. lmfao Drummond is now "Evil Hodor" to me. I am really interested to see what they do with the Burt story thread, and to see how deep the rabbit hole goes Really nice detail to find too, with the linkage to Operation Paperclip and how a file with a backward paperclip indicated a candidate to be recruited
  13. the description on the video says "inspiration behind the video" and it reads exactly like a prompt for a video generation LLM Either way, not a real trailer
  14. No longer sharing intel with planned and/or incoming missile attacks is absolutely directly attributable to increased deaths in Ukraine. That includes shit like timely notifications of launching equipment moving or getting set up, or attack aircraft fueling up on the apron before taking off to sling death at civilians. It doesn't take a fuckin' rocket surgeon to add two and two together. And honestly? I completely fucking disagree with respect to if it's a terrorist attack or not. There is no objective to these attacks BUT TO CAUSE TERROR in the civilian population. Would you argue that nazi germany's V-1 and V-2 weapons were not terror weapons?
  15. just in case anyone has some free hours and feel like signing folks up for cat facts...
  16. and just like that, ACB became a """DEI hire"""
  17. about that https://www.newsweek.com/us-intel-block-blamed-russian-missile-strike-americans-2040507
  18. The UK and France both are keenly aware of what happens when you give a dictator an inch. And they aren't separated by an ocean, so they can't just play fuck fuck games in their legislatures
  19. Dancing and bouncing off of $570 and change a bunch. 2 hours to go, let's see if we can get through it without another major geopolitical shift or tarrif announcement
  20. A pretty key difference is that the Gazans getting carpet bombed didn't vote for Israel to do so. If you want to make a hollow argument that they voted Hamas in the 2000s and so 20 years later they deserve what's coming to them that's a weird stand to take. Candidly, the Hamas leadership IS getting their turn of getting burned on the stove. They fucked around with the initial attacks, they're still finding out. The civilians trapped in the middle are hostages, not the consenting public. Here in America, the people fucking around and doing generations of damage were JUST put into office by the consenting public. They need to be disabused of their illusions that they're on the right path. The only way to make the scales fall from their eyes is to impose the pain on them they impose on others. It's the whole reason there's a leopards eating faces thread.
  21. This is a pretty solid description of where we're at
  22. Taking over the railroads? Now he's just playing the fascists hits.
  23. Zelensky: US Citizens in Ukraine Hotel Struck by Russia Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said U.S. citizens were among those who had checked into a hotel that was hit by a Russian strike overnight. The strike came a day after the Trump Administration paused sharing intelligence with Ukraine as it applies pressure on Kyiv over peace negotiations with Russia. "All night, a rescue operation continued in Kryvyi Rih at the site of a Russian missile strike," Zelensky posted on X. "A ballistic missile struck an ordinary hotel. Just before the attack, volunteers from a humanitarian organization—citizens of Ukraine, the United States, and the United Kingdom—had checked into the hotel. "They survived because they managed to get down from their rooms in time. Unfortunately, four people were killed in this attack. My condolences to their families and loved ones." Newsweek asked the State Department for comment outside of normal hours via its online media request form. Newsweek also emailed the Russian foreign ministry's press office for comment.
  24. He really is filling in the role of chief propagandist in a goebbels sort of way. He's specifying cultural things the Party shouldn't like, and then the Party is animated by his action to target the newly ID'd "out" groups
  25. Ukrainian refugees? Believe it or not, DEPORTED! https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-plans-revoke-legal-status-ukrainians-who-fled-us-sources-say-2025-03-06/
