A handy object lesson for those who refuse to believe Israel and its stooges can really be so hypocritical as to blithely say the opposite of what their bosses really want. https://x.com/AmazingZoltan/status/1842335994353537460 1842335994353537460 It's called a psyop, kids.

There's no mousetrap like a hunter/seeker mousetrap with non-artificial intelligence and a highly sensitive sensory array. They're decorative, too. And affectionate.

I'd rather ask what makes you presume I haven't. Especially when I have a multiple page thread full of my speculation on that very subject on this very site. What's more, I think mine makes more sense. It's based on historical precedent -- a number of them, but particularly the Biennio Rosso, which brought Mussolini to power.

Mice? HA! We hve Dot the Destroyer. She was a minuscule kitten and we thought she might not live. We loved her healthy and she is the scariest hunter on the planet. She's an assassin. Shen she was maybe three months old and less than two pounds, she'd come home with barn rats nearly as large as she. She brings home mice and rats every single day and dumps them either in the kitchen or the master.

We're over a year. The birds provide eggs. We are LOUSY with deer, so I could fill the freezer with venison if I were so inclined, which I am not. I will wait for doomsday for that. We have about 150 square feet of pantry and it is full, if a mite chaotic in terms of actually finding what you seek. But if you have to go a year, you know things are way bad and all our lives will then have become very different.

I can still go all night until she begs... Oh wait, wrong thread. Sorry.

Reminds me. I have several rifles I need to sight in - an AR10, a .338 bolt gun, a pair of 17 HMRs, my 338 Spectre (AR), and I need to reconfirm the zero on my M1A match rifle. So much to do, so little time. And I need to build the fookin' greenhouse.

And now ask yourself why. Consider that as stupid as lefties tend to be, functionally speaking, they are nonetheless very clever and crafty. I had a neighbor whose daughter had been poisoned with chlordane dust - long story. Lisa was functionally retarded, but boy oh God was she ever slick. She was unable to tell time, but she could machinate and manipulate and get what she wanted. Thus we find it with lefties in general, Democrats in specific to this discussion. They are functional retards who are adept and scheming and fucking around. My suspicion is that the Democrats know they are in a corner in a very broad sense. Everything they have worked toward has failed wildly. Whether they believe in their own bullshit remains a matter of speculation. But either they do, or everything we see is a put on for the sake of peddling a deeper evil. The results remain the same. In their case, the results have been and stand to become further disastrous. They see this. They see that we the great majority are becoming significantly perturbed by it all and that if thing come to a head with Democrats at the helm, we may not be particularly kind to them. Being the filthy cowards that they are, not to mention pragmatists who are hell bent to have their vision realized, they understand that when this thing flies apart as it eventually must, they do not want to be in the position for blame to reach them. And so they put the most absurd stooge imaginable up for candidacy, along with another nitwit as her running mate. In the meanwhile, the current administration goes pedal to the metal to sow as much wild insanity as is possible just in time for Trump to inherit an utter disasterland. I'd suspect the thinking is that the Democrats see themselves as standing at the corner of "You're Fucked" and "We're Gonna Have Our Pound of Flesh". They are now strategically retreating to avoid plausible culpability. But that's not all. Buy in the next five minutes and receive a double whammy! The whammy here, to the considered benefit of the left will be that Democrats, having lost, will be able to wail, moan, and gnash their teeth most noisily over Trump. They can assume the role of victim, something at which they hold some non-trivial experience and expertise. They will almost certainly claim election interference and fraud, and will say Trump stole the election, wholly ignoring their previous howlings of "conspiracy theories" and "election interference" when Trump made the same assertions in 2020. And ANYTHING that goes wrong, regardless of how inconsequential and irrelevant can be blown out of proportion (sky's falling) and pinned on Trump. Now get this twist. Imagine that rather than flipping votes for Harris, they actually do so for Trump, guaranteeing his win. Not only do the Democrats dodge the bullet, they then have the opportunity to go on the offensive by suddenly getting all religious and shit over "election integrity". "We've conducted an exhaustive forensic investigation of the election results and have found at least twenty five million falsified ballots, every last one in favor of Donald Trump. This could be used as impeachment material. It could be used to gin up anger, rage, and ultimately violence on several fronts. It would certainly be used to put a spotlight on Trump, call is integrity into question, and perhaps see him off to Gitmo for a tribunal and the rope. I put NOTHING past Themme, Democrat OR Republican, the latter of whom have plenty to fear from a second Trump administration if the Donald is to be taken at his word regarding draining the swamp. Thousands, perhaps far more, stand to go to prison and I daresay that a great raft stand to face the gallows, as they ought.

Commerce and trade in limited quantities is good. But when you start trading for things that you should (as a responsible adult, and/or nation) be producing yourself, that's when it starts doing more harm than good. If you inherit a fully functional corn farm from your grandparents, it would be extremely irresponsible to sell off the farm, spend your cash on hookers and coke, and then take on debt so you can afford corn to feed yourself with. That is what we have done as a nation, and that is what modern trade has taken the form of.

You are correct that in the last 400 years it has grown exponentially. Which then arrives at my point: the trade we have today is quantitatively and qualitatively different than anything we have seen in the past. The quantity is obviously much higher and the nature is similarly much different. In the past, international economic competitive advantage was largely based on regional abundances of raw materials. Today, international economic competitive advantage is largely based on differences in labor costs. It was never historically feasible to save money on labor by getting it built 6,000 miles away and then transporting it. It is far too early to say that trade is "good" for the economy. There are scenarios where trade is provably bad for an economy.* It also depends on how you define "the economy". If your interest is the economic outcome of the world as a whole, then yes, global trade is economically a good thing. If your interest is the economic outcome of your local economy, then no, it's not quite as clear as that (as proven in the scenario). It may very well be the case that modern trade, being based on short-term differences in labor costs vs other forms of economic advantage, is overall a detriment to a local economy. Even if we do accept that trade is an overall economic good, that still does not make it however an overall net good. There are cultural, sovereignty, and security costs that come at potentially a heavy price with full global economic integration. * (Scenario referenced above is at this link: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?566808-Tariffs-Are-A-War-On-American-Consumers&p=7231881&viewfull=1#post7231881)

It gets worse as you get older. The bitching focuses on you, until you become, what once was her whole world, the man who lit up her life, and gave her butterflies in her stomach, a senile stupid old fool who has single handedly fucked up every single thing in the world.

Democrats are not trying to throw an election. They are trying to destroy a country and doing a damn good job of it. The reason they have gone so far "over the top" is they reckon they have, or are just on the cusp of having, a majority of the voting public that agree. And they are probably right, between Marxists, women and migrants, they probably have a winning combination.

Tell me it's the Jews, without telling me it's the Jews. https://x.com/i/status/1781335247436591270 1781335247436591270

The city of Portland is less than 70 percent white.

I can not accomplish anything of any great deal, until I can drill into white people's heads that they are not the bad guys, they are not the enemy, they are not the ones committing mass shootings, they should not loathe themselves, they should unite and fight for their interests. I can only do that by presenting facts of the world around us, that has committed itself to exterminating my people.

Oh, on his "...if you suspend the Constitution and appoint Me Dictator For Life" agenda. Forty More Years! Remember, before he does anything else he's got to build the FBI a yuge, beeautyful new palace before they try to shoot him again! That'll probably eat up the entirety of his first Next Four Years all by itself. I mean, we already know he will screw us all to save his own hide. SS already told us about several instances where he already did. We're going to be hearing a lot more, "The Prime Alpha Male had to do that because he was afeared of Hitlery's Suicide Squad!!" out of the Trumpscuse Brigade before we're through.

Everything is subjective without an agreed upon framework of context. 1+1=2 is not objectively true without an agreed upon context. Superficially, the context required for that is the meaning of symbols, letters. Less superficially, the context requires an agreement of what constitutes identity. This context onion can be stripped further and further until there remains no objective context; it simply is what it is because we have agreed that it is as it is and we have no further means of proving or testing it. (See: Feynman's explanation of magnetism) Similarly, a properly developed "dictionary project" absolutely could be objectively tested - within an agreed upon context. This could look similar to a programming language. Programming languages work objectively within the context for which they are defined (namely: the selected compiler, and further, the bitwise operations at a hardware level). If you were to define "law" and "crime" within a framework that allows it to be tested, then yes, it can be tested. And yes that is circular. All of scientific testing is inevitably circular - it all exists within an untestable framework that allows it be tested.

Keep it up...keep pushing.

Here's my counter point. You spend a hell of a lot more time trying to paint as negative of a picture about black people than you do actually advocating for white people in need. Look in the damn mirror. You want something done for the homeless white people in Oregan? Start advocating for the homeless white people in Oregon. Usually what you trying to pass off as "advocating for white people" is not advocating for white people but instead attacking people of other races. That's your problem. If Larry Bird said "There are a lot of white people caught up in the opioid crisis, just like there were black people strung out on crack before, therefore we need to do something about drug treatment and not act like it's just a black problem" nobody at all would have a problem with that. Even if he left out any mention of black people and just talked about all of the white people on drugs who need help, nobody would have a problem with that. But you want to pretend your shyt don't stink, act like your problem is black people, and then complain that it's not "respectable" to talk about the problems of white people. Why was it left up to me to point out that white homeless people are the ones living like they are in the third world and not the hard working, not on drugs, saving their money and fixing up dilapidated homes in Springfield Ohio Haitians? And guess what? Joe BIden deported more Haitians than Trump! https://quixote.org/biden-has-deported-nearly-as-many-haitians-in-his-first-year-as-the-last-three-presidents-combined Biden has expelled nearly as many Haitians in 12 months (20,200+) as were deported during the previous 20 years (22,000-23,000)*** under three different presidents. Indeed, Biden’s administration has likely expelled far more: In addition to these official removal numbers, another estimated 8,000 Haitians were expelled back into Mexico in September of 2021, voluntarily according to DHS Secretary Mayorkas, but in circumstances that make that characterization suspect. And no, they didn't get let back in. Compare the treatment for the Haitians with the treatment for the Ukrainians with Biden's "United For Ukraine" program. https://www.uscis.gov/ukraine

Why, yes, the Democrats really are purposely trying to lose this election.

Don't see why not. Like seniors and Medicare, they charge us so much in taxes we can't afford to also buy something that works right. But be advised...

As I understand it ending the fed is on his agenda, immediately following eliminating world hunger, ending poverty and curing cancer. Give the guy a break! He can’t do EVERYTHING all at once you know.

Forever is a long time to expect the guy to refrain from running his mouth. After all...
