Wow. For once he didn't take a year to gauge the way the wind is blowing and realign his views accordingly.
Zelensky was put into power by the CIA.
As usual, you have a point. But it's not Ukrainian women who voted for this war: it's American women and British women and French women. They would probably jump for joy if all the Ukrainian women who've fled to their countries and are currently competing for their male breadwinners were all deported back home to get slaughtered.
Drafting women will not result in fewer men getting killed.
Musk and Thiel are doing so, yes. The increasing faction in the establishment who are moving away from the previous narrative and quietly backing Trump are doing so as a means of appeasement. They are increasingly resigned to the fact that the post-national, WEF world they wanted to build is not going to happen, and so they're trying to cling onto their positions of influence by realigning with the side they think is going to supplant that ideology. It's very cynical, but that doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing if it means things improve for ordinary people.
Woke was a vector of attack that failed, and it's become so toxic that all of the corporate and globalist forces that were previously pushing it are now toning it down or abandoning it. The diehard believers who've made it their identity will never abandon it, but they will also never again have the power that they had at its peak. The left is about power. Woke was a means of gaining and holding power, but now it can't be used for that so they've moved on.
Right-wing spaces now are obsessing about woke much more than the establishment left is. The mainstream left-wing political parties, the left-wing media, the corporates: they're having completely different conversations now to the ones that reactionary Twitter accounts are telling you they're having. Just look at the recent non-event that was Pride month now that all of the big corporations have suddenly decided to tone down their virtue-signalling.
I certainly don't want the Peter Thiel ancap future either, but a civil war between the elites is the best thing for the rest of us, because it's the only opportunity we'll get to claim a bigger slice of the pie for ourselves.
Putting the woke away doesn't mean the nightmare is ending. We're just moving on to the next chapter.
The elite is not a monolith, especially not now when we're undergoing a paradigm shift. Societal change only ever occurs through a revolution of the elites, not a popular revolution. Trump, Musk, Thiel and others like them represent the faction of the elite who oppose the WEF neoliberal establishment, and the amount of support their ideas now have means more and more of the old guard are realizing that they can't put the genie back in the bottle.
Once again, this is normal female behavior. Women's default assumption is that they are entitled to men's resources, especially if that man is a father or husband/ex husband. It's not cultural: it's biological. When the money runs out, they rush back to the magic money tree. It's the age-old saying about family finances: her money is her money, but his money is their money, and that doesn't stop being true when she kicks him out of the house.
Even before these events, there was more and more evidence that the establishment actually wants Trump this time around. Not because he's "their guy," necessarily, but because the Musk/Thiel side of the elite have been gaining traction arguing that there has to be some appeasement to populism before ordinary people's resentment boils over.
I'm no fan of Hollywood, but this isn't Hollywood's fault. Women are just like this.
They have in fact killed the metal.
No it's just a supposedly "based" come-from-nowhere who's married to an Indian and was previously a never-Trump Hillary supporter until his sudden change of heart.
They could try again in a different jurisdiction, but even replacing Smith would take weeks at least, because they would need to come up with a different procedure to nominate a new Special Prosecutor that they could try to argue is constitutional.
The whole thing could take months, and they would he even more insane ro reindict in October. The documents case is done.
It won't matter. They would be insane to refile, and they would need to replace Jack Smith before they even considered it.
Misquotes can go to defamation, and he is obviously a public figure so that hurdle is already moot, but that's different from incitement.
Court precedents have set the bar for incitement very high. There has to be evidence of a forseeable possibility that someone might actually act on your words. Even just saying "I wish someone would shoot that guy" is probably protected speech if there's no way you can forsee that somebody will actually act on your statement.
Hanlon's Razor usually falls apart because the answer is almost always both.
You know who had one job? The Secret Service. How the fuck did this faggot get onto a rooftop at a Trump rally carrying a gun?
If people like Musk were waiting for proof that Trump isn't the establishment candidate this time around, they just got it.
Over on reddit the lefty political subs are already insisting this was staged and fake. Doesn't matter to them that there were 50 000 live witnesses. Dev will be right there with them, refusing to accept reality.
Not necessarily. The fact is that prosecutors and cops pull this kind of shit all the time. The real outrage here is the question of how many people have been in Alec Baldwin's position but didn't have his profile and couldn't afford the high-powered attorneys who are knowledgeable enough to pounce on this kind of impropriety? How many of those people were, unlike Baldwin, actually innocent, but were railroaded anyway by a justice system that lets police and prosecutors get away with routinely violating the law in order to secure a conviction?
Do you mean for hackers or for the companies? Punishing hackers will only work if you can find them and actually get them in a jurisdiction where you can bring charges. As for the companies, the only way to ensure total data security is to use encryption for which not even the company itself has a backdoor, which governments don't want them doing for reasons we're all aware of.
Not a bad thought, but the real question is, why would Obama do that when he's already running the administration?
Strangely enough, after insisting that she wouldn't be attending, Nicky Haley suddenly changed her mind a few days before the convention and announced she was going.
I wonder what she thought would be different.
