What's more reddit-tier than totally unnecessary drama?

Let's change it to fruitpox.

Nothing will ever be as funny as "People of Color" = good, but "Colored People" = racist.

Look at her. She's the banana now.

Well this was a close shave for Don. He's probably sitting in his barber's chair right now thinking he's got away with the whole hair-brained scheme. He must be thinking that if he just trims down his social media posting for a while and keeps things close-cropped, the whole controversy will just fade away.

So how come they only decided to steal it in 2020 and not 2024?

If you actually bothered to read what I wrote above, you will see that I already addressed this straw man.

The US, just like every other consequential country that has even a semblance of free and fair elections is a target of low-level election manipulation efforts from hostile foreign powers. No rational person would even attempt to deny, for example, that China, which is a key ally and benefactor of the Venezuelan regime, has routinely attempted to manipulate American elections in their favor to one degree or another. The extent to which these efforts are even successful is irrelevant: the attempt itself makes those efforts a threat to American national security.

However, just as with your flippant dismissal of the overwhelming evidence that Venezuela was being used as a drug trafficking route into the United States, you refuse to accept any evidence at all that the Venezuelan regime posed an immediate and ongoing national security threat to the US, because your disproportionate, totally irrational anger at Trump's decision to decapitate that regime can only be justified if you continue to insist on believing that he did so without any provocation whatsoever.

So there's no point in continuing to discuss this with you.

All I said was that there's evidence that software used by a Venezuelan company with connections to the regime, whose machines were almost certainly used to rig elections in Venezuela, was also present in American voting machines. I'm not alleging that Venezuela is solely responsible for rigging the 2020 election, or even that they had any hand in it at all. I am saying that it looks like members of the Venezuelan regime at least tangentially participated in tampering with previous US elections, to one extent or another.

She was made President because Maduro made her his Vice President. If she was aware of, or in any way involved in Venezuelan tampering with US elections, you can bet Maduro was too.

Here's a rabbit hole for you.

Delcy Rodriguez's brother Jorge used to be Venezuela's Vice President. Before that, he was a behind-the-scenes power broker in the Chavez administration, including a stint as the President of the National Electoral Council, during which time he was in a long-term romantic relationship with the sister of Raul José Anzola. Anzola was one of the founders of a company called Smartmatic, which manufactures voting machines and programs vote tallying software. Thanks to Rodriguez, they had an exclusive contract with the Chavez government in the 2000s that meant their voting machines were the ones that were used to tally votes in two consecutive Presidential elections that Chavez "won" in landslide results.

Anzola later died in a plane crash in 2008, three years after Smartmatic branched out into the United States and bought Sequoia Voting Systems. Alarm bells were raised in Washington about foreign ownership of a major US voting machine firm, and Smartmatic were forced to "sell" Sequoia in 2007, but when another US company tried to buy Sequoia in 2008, around the time of Anzola's death, it was discovered that Sequoia was still using software in their voting machines that was owned and administered by Smartmatic. Those voting machines were actively being used to count votes in US elections.

Guess which company did end up acquiring Sequoia? I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with Dominion.

All true, and all of it driven by a fundamental insecurity, lack of self-awareness and lack of a core identity. This is what drives a woman's overwhelming need to feel like she's in control of her surroundings, often vicariously through a powerful man, which is the reason for the real fundamental political reality of women: the fact that whether they're on the left or the right, they are always the most enthusiastic supporters of authoritarianism, despotism and centralization of power.

Men, on the other hand, are much more self-reliant and inclined towards liberty as a driving political force because we are much more likely to have a core sense of our own identity that thrives on competition rather than consensus, and doesn't rely on a solipsistic need to have our own feelings and desires reflected back at us by absolutely everybody else around us.

It's more that women are driven by a need for social approval over anything else. Even "motherly instinct" takes a back seat to the desire for plaudence and good vibes from their friend groups and from the overarching societal power structures, as evidenced by the fact that they will absolutely throw their own children under the bus if they voice the wrong opinions, or put them on puberty blockers and encourage them to mutilate themselves just to earn brownie points from the other girls in their yoga class. For as long as leftism has institutional power behind it, women will continue to virtue signal to its tenets.

This might be one of the biggest woke own goals we've ever seen, and it's glorious.

Sidney Watson, Britney Venti, Melonie Mac . . . even Candace Owens. Scratch the surface of every Conservathot who was getting passed around at the conventions and this is what's underneath.

Not the state. Just the Twin Cities.

Kein Scheiße

I think pretty much everyone on here knows I'm not on the Israel-is-behind-everything-bad-ever train.

That said, are these our only two options, or can we have one where Israel and the United States are not right next to each other?

I see you're already working on ways to sell this to the Danish government.

I guess Trump, or his advisors, figure that either there's too much Chinese influence in EU institutions to make the Danes a reliable partner, or that it's just easier with the US in exclusive control.

For the record, I'm not advocating for a forcible annexation of Greenland. I think it would be extremely stupid to deploy the US military against a NATO ally, if he actually is serious about doing that. But I can see why he wants it.

It's about securing US control of the northwest passage sea route and preventing China and Russia from gaining control of it. Alaska at one end and Greenland at the other with maritime boundaries extending 200km away from any land mass effectively makes both the entrance and the exit to any artic sea route exclusive US territory, so the Navy can have a presence there without needing anybody else's permission.

This is what happens when you put your dick in crazy.

A mother's love is unconditional A mother will mutilate her child and ruin his entire life as an act of revenge against his father.

Literally "you're not getting another one."

There was a time when Imp was not so crazy, and in that time, I say again: he was right.

In terms of subs, they are somewhat comparable, but not in terms of actual minutes watched. How many of those D+ subscribers barely use it, or are just using it as a babysitter while they make dinner? Netflix is absolutely dominating Disney in terms of the actual watch hours.

Paramount wanted WB so badly because that much original IP under one banner might have been enough to make their streaming service a viable competitor for Netflix, which is the same reason Netflix worked so hard to stop it happening. Now, they're going to remain the only game in town, and that means they don't have to give a shit about the quality of their content: just the volume.

Netflix is the worst. Even with all the Saudi and Blackrock money backing them up, Paramount would have needed WB properties to attract an audience in order to sustain them. Netflix is printing money just by being Netflix. They'll be able to get five times the watch minutes for all this woke trash just by having it on their service because normies are too lazy to look for alternatives.
