Honestly...I had wondered if we had knocked out the pipeline.


While there's many reasons to ditch all the ultra PC/social justice warrior nonsense, here's the main one....

Our adversaries won't allow it in their countries because they know how destructive it is to your society/culture.

This destruction is why they use bots and troll farms to incessantly push it in the West.

Anything that is pushed by foreign countries to this extent is toxic...and it's amazing that people refuse to wake up to this problem and how damaging it really is.


Not a fan of Trump obviously but I do agree to an extent. He had that whole mad man, rogue cowboy, war monger thing going for him. It made countries think twice about doing anything. Nixon and Reagan had a similar image on the world stage.

Had someone like Reagan been president, I doubt Russia invades Ukraine.


Did you see where Zalensky wants the US to figure out how to place cluster bombs on drones?!?  18

What's next... asking us for B-52s? 16

Two Russian jets attempt to ram into a US drone to knock it out....US intentionally crashes it into the Black Sea.

This is one of those types of incidents that can potentially draw the US into a conflict.

It probably won't.....but it's dangerous shit.

Almost nobody reporting this huge news. That's the modern age for you, anything really news worthy gets buried.

The EU demands that all private and public homes shall become fully energy efficient by 2050. Zero emission. Starting in 2030 you will have to upgrade your home in the order of $ 100,000 to meet the preliminary requirements. If not the bank may be required to call in your loan, and insurance might no longer cover you. You are not allowed to rent out, and any potential sale will have to deduct the upgrade costs from the sale price. Then further upgrades will be required until the impossible target of zero emission is met.

Eventually owning your own home will be a privilege of the very rich and government officials. I'm pretty sure they are going to go for the same thing in the US.

The mask is off when it comes to the elites. No more pussyfooting around. They can be blatant with anything and nobody really cares anymore. People are simply too distracted to know or care about what's going on.

They told us a few years ago how things were going to be as we head into the 2030s....

You'll own nothing and be happy.


Life is going to become a subscription service like Netflix. Need a home, car, food, music, movies, etc?

You'll rent/subscribe.


Fast food outlets have started wheeling out such subscriptions...Smash Burger did it last year. For like 20 bucks a month you get a limited amount of burgers each month.

They're already getting us ready for another season of Trump World. He's being unbanned from social media platforms in preparation for election season.


What a world.


Trump or Desantis is the next president.

Re: Current Events Thread

I think it’s really short sighted and potentially negligently dangerous. I don’t think you’ll see Trumpers in the streets bombing police stations and burning city blocks down. But this kind of bullshit double standard nonsense is going to backfire on Democrats hard. There’s a real chance of severe economic downturn over the next year, to say nothing of increasing escalation in Ukraine with WW3 peaking over the horizon.

Do they really want to make Trump a political martyr and arrest him? For paying a porn star not to go on Anderson Cooper and talk about how his cock looked?  Compare that to any of the alleged and evidenced claims against the Biden’s or the Clinton’s, and tell me how this isn’t banana republic shit?  First an armed raid on his home, now actual arrest? 

And babbling Biden is going to overcome the momentum this is going to give Trump to capture the normal folk harmed by Democratic lock downs during COVID and the impact that’s had on the wallet and comfort of everyone in the aftermath.

All this does is disable us when China and Russia do something really bad. Who is going to support sending billions more to Ukraine and a couple hundred thousands Soldiers to defend Europe’s backyard they neglected. Gonna be a hard sell when the average person is worried about paying the bills and struggling to buy food and gas.

Biden could nip this in the bud right now by talking to people behind the scenes. Why invite the chance of riots and right wing nut jobs thinking this is 1776. It’s completely partisan and is a clear abuse of power and discretion. Republicans are already pointing out they’re letting violent felons walk on charges of real harm, and this is what they want to dedicate thousands of man hours to.

This is our new reality.

Behind the scenes, Trump is said to be excited about getting arrested. If for anything else, Biden should do everything he can to stop it.

Today's school shooter was trans.

Social media is a dumpster fire... arguments over misgendering this person and using the wrong pronouns.

Before releasing the name, they tried scrubbing all the social media platforms before anyone could see it.

When it's a "cis" white male...we hear about how the far right is destroying democracy.

What will we hear now?

Someone on Twitter summed it up nicely....


We've reached the point where we respect the pronouns of a child killer?


What a shit show.

Imagine being a man and being tricked into cutting off your own dick? The come down from that must be extremely brutal, and I probably would flip out too if it was me.

It's not often I hear one of these stories and think to myself "this guy kinda has a point", but this time I do. The school is of course the primary target since it was probably there he got groomed for trannyhood.
