Reminder that Mark Hamill tried to pressure his son's ex-girlfriend to abort her unborn child.

I'm hoping Bytedance/China actually challenges the tiktok law just on principle, even if it is a propaganda platform.

There needs to be wholesale replacement of all top military brass, along with federal judges and the bureaucracy. In fact no replacement, just cut the top salaried officials in all sectors. But only once we get some normal patriotic soldiers running the pentagon can we go full steam with the treason and sedition court marshals. Personally I'd be fine with him simply ordering executions in the style of George Washington, but going by the book improves the chance of cooperation.

They were raving about the "Jan 6 committee" show trial... But I'm glad that, if you believe the polling here, it's a minority.

It is annoying though how they play that shit non-stop at airports, gyms, and some office buildings.

This is the worst thing they can present to show me this guy is the most abhorrent criminal in the history of US politics?

The TDS-afflicted see him like Al Capone, with this being his tax evasion trial. He's just such a sneaky bastard he was able to weasel out of punishment for all his past evil deeds - but we'll get him this time, no matter the crime.

Even if the affair accusations were true, which I doubt for the same reasons as razorfist, non-NPCs wonder what the alleged crime is even supposed to be here. Who is the victim? "Hush money" makes it sound like he was covering up some crime, but when you look into the details it's only that he supposedly used campaign money to pay a woman to agree to not talk to the media. Surely if that's illegal it's one of those campaign finance laws that only slaps you with a fine for most people. Why would someone as wealthy as Trump need to do that, and how would you prove it? Don't candidates loan themselves money from their campaigns all the time? (looking at you Bernie)

All gains taxed at a small, flat amount.

They aren't gains until you sell them, and which point they are taxed.

Even this research itself is pointing out that most researchers of the "Incel" phenomenon don't actually ask incels for their opinion.

What does that link have to do with the other claims in your comment? I read the story but don't see the connection. I may simply be missing a key bit of background information that allows me to read between the lines.

The problem with plausible deniability is denying it is always plausible. He might throw us in front of the bus tomorrow. But then we could still say "No no, that's 4D chess - he only needs to appear to disavow us for the moment." Trust the plan. I hope you're right though. Maybe with the right meme magic we can enter your fantasy world.

That is, until a few days ago, when a video + article was put out on Zionism, a pro-Jewish ideology.

Wow calling it "an article on Zionism" is an understatement. The writer is basically rattling off a bullet point list of unsourced "9/11 was the Jews" claims. It sounds crazy and even if it's true nobody would believe it. At least not yet. This might be reaching Sandy Hook levels of danger for Infowars/AJ. Does anyone know anything about the author Greg Reese?

Everything you've noticed is spot on though. There's a shifting of the winds among the Right towards listening to ideas that were previously only palatable to George Galloway voting far-left radicals. (despite what the ADL would claim) What seemed crazy before is almost plausible, and people are becoming less worried about being called an antisemite or conspiracy theorist for raising questions about allegiances and influence networks. There's a large pro-Israel contingent (including Trump) but I think it helps that MAGA is made up of more isolationist types that don't want to be involved in foreign affairs. Also the fact that the holocaust is so far back and carries less weight now. On the contrary, the more it's brought up the more cringe it sounds. They might as well be whining about the Arch of Titus.

should be considered sabotage until proven otherwise

That's a good point. They should look into their contractors or whoever actually did the work.

Then I'll say piracy is the way to go. A moral imperative even, in some cases. However most of the time I will gladly support the developers and buy their product if it's a good game.

Naturally it's ADL bullshit but I guess they could claim Elon mentioning his unbanning amounts to an official welcome. The guy could have been unbanned without an announcement.

This happened last week but I thought Trump saying Japan is a "great country" was a nice contrast to the recent Biden-Kishida visit and Biden subsequently shitting on Japan to whimpering applause. Taro Aso was not only prime minister but led several ministries and was friends with Shinzo Abe. I must assume he also wants to build some political capital from this. Here's some video clips. No English except when Trump speaks.

Video says people called the meeting MOSHI-TORA (What if Trump) - preparing for the possibility of a Trump win. Trump is the one who invited Aso, saying Japan needs strong leaders like him to carry on the Abe legacy.

Aso himself is a guy who often gets in trouble with the media for off-the-cuff comments. Most recently he called foreign minister Yoko Kamikawa an obasan (older woman) who is "not particularly beautiful". The media being run by communists doesn't help the situation though.
