  1. I assume he's also cutting congressionally allocated aid as well. Because ya know, he's the king
  2. Sooooo POTUS is threatening Zelensky now https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14457063/trump-zelensky-ukraine-russia-peace.html Trump said he would give an update on the minerals deal during his speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night. And he hinted Zelensky might not survive long if he continued to make demands ahead of a peace deal. 'It should not be that hard a deal to make,' he said. 'It could be made very fast. Now, maybe somebody doesn't want to make a deal, and if somebody doesn't want to make a deal, I think that person won't be around very long. That person will not be listened to very long.'
  3. Just wait till adcom hears about this Edit: lulz found the source for Spankys opinion - 10 hour old faux news headline
  4. Can you link me to it? Every 2025 forecast I'm finding was published in 2024 I would impressed if they put one out at all this year, now that they've shut down the modeling team and terminated their lease on the location that integrated their radar equipment https://www.axios.com/2025/03/03/doge-noaa-weather-building-leases-trump The building houses the National Weather Service's National Centers for Environmental Prediction, or NCEP, which includes the Environmental Modeling Center. It opened in 2012 and has about 268,000 square feet of space. The modeling center runs the computer models used in day-to-day weather forecasting, and ensures that weather data correctly goes into these models and that they are operating correctly. The NOAA employee told Axios the cancellations — along with recent layoffs, early retirements, and travel and hiring limitations — point to an effort to dismantle the agency.
  5. I mean, you're not very far off at this point. Ya know, ignoring the fascists taking over your government probably isn't the best course of action. That's like not going to the doctor so you never have to face your cancer diagnosis.
  6. if anyone is following along on the Star Trek timeline things are a little out of order, the Bell Riots are a little behind schedule and we're way behind for the Eugenics Wars, but I'll be goddamned if we aren't checking the boxes. @atomheartbevo knows what I'm talking about
  7. So kind of wild catch (from this reddit post) between last week's episode and a visit to the Eternity Wing.... They're dressing Gemma as different Eagan women in the different rooms I have a guess as to who might be represented in "Cold Harbor"
  8. hmmmmm, it's almost like he's trying to induce an economic crisis so that he can more effectively consolodate power. Every fascist takeover needs a good economic crunch to really motivate the populism, and thank goodness for American ingenuity, he made his own!
  9. Well most of them do, it's just that it's scooped up by the crypto oligarchs
  10. I don't think so - but the university is actively suppressing one form of speech while welcoming its opposite. That is not freedom of speech either. Crackpots always come to campus - there's a wealth of young brilliant minds to evangelize to your cause. But the people putting on this conference are no kidding, mask-off eugenicists. Jordan Lasker describes himself as a "scientific racist" (quoted from the linked Guardian article). Why is he welcomed to campus to say that one race is superior to another, while any mention of diversity and equality is banned from campus?
  11. Genuinely, I think much of his insane, erratic, and uncoordinated behavior is an artifact of his ketamine abuse
  12. Moving my reply to the appropriate thread.... What the hell are you talking about? Do a surlysearch for "trump derangement syndrome" and find the multitudes of MAGAS that call surly home slinging it to rebut every (now validated) fear. And the right may not be singular in thought, but it is absolutely singular in voice. Once the popular narrative is out, it is blasting across every frequency, platform, blog, channel, and propagandist. The republicans MADE trans rights a voting issue when the democrats weren't campaigning on it. They did it through having a singular voice of thought. You and I seem to be living in very different realities.
  13. Not sure if anyone else clicked through, but uhhhh what the fuck that's on University of Texas campus at the AT&T center. Between UT over-complying with SB17, and now welcoming eugenicists onto campus.... Jesus fucking christ. Banning discussions of race and equity, while hosting racial pseudoscience. What starts here changes the world.
  14. HISD Superintendent is a fraud https://www.texasobserver.org/mike-miles-third-future-schools-midland-classes/
  15. In the past when we brought up "vryano" and other russian disinformation techniques there was a derogatory "derangement syndrome" that would be hurled as an insult. Now who's laughing? The fucking russians are. It's shocking how readily so much of our citizenry is accepting straight up bullshit as truth, simply because "I don't pay attention to politics" or "the news is all lying anyways". Putin's firehose of falsehoods has been extremely effective when wrapped up in and kissing an American flag
  16. Someone made good money insider trading on that info. https://cointelegraph.com/news/trader-banks-nearly-7-million-from-trumps-crypto-reserve-announcement
  17. Glad that comeuppance still happens for shitbags.
  18. Oh actually, I know why this woman is being held for nearly a month for no goddamn reason. Otay Mesa detention center where she now is being held is a privately owned, for-profit ICE facility https://www.corecivic.com/facilities/otay-mesa-detention-center Silly me, the cruelty is for profit! That makes much more sense now.
  19. lmfao Stephanie R Lovins is about to get a world of shit if that goes wide on the internet. What a dumb cunt. Can't even scribble her name off of both receipts.
  20. Not deportation (yet), but dominance and cruelty to be sure https://www.kpbs.org/news/border-immigration/2025/02/28/german-tourist-held-indefinitely-in-san-diego-area-immigrant-detention-facility ICE and CBP are starting to dissapear non-citizens into their custody for weeks at a time. Seemingly just because they can. This poor woman is STILL in custody of ICE, who has been held more than two weeks past her return flight home to Berlin.
  21. This is the ultiamte expression of "fuck you I got mine". Any sort of empathy or social awareness is scorned, and they laser-focus on their grievances over reality.
  22. It wasn't discomfort about laughing. His monologue was just was missing jokes and humor. There were some great sketches though, really hot and cold episode imo

    Another aspect of the cruelty and inhumanity towards trans people: the prison systems are starting moves towards force transwomen into mens prisons. They're taking away their chest bindings for transmen and forcing them to dress femininely. At this point, medical care is still happening, but this is how it starts. This guy Deviant Ollam is a security researcher, pen tester, and a redteamer for physical and digital security. He's up to date on the goings-on of the prison system.
  24. my MIL that's a CPA and executive for a F500 nearly fell for this shit over the weekend. She's fallen for 4-figure scams on facebook before too. I really don't understand what it is about facebook that makes boomers just turn their fucking brains off. It's like, if one of their friends posts it then they just turn off their critical thinking and okeydoke whatever the fuck is being repeated over and over. It's exactly how we got into this mess.
