i'm sure a lot of lefties are just rolling with it to countersignal but its pretty funny that some of them genuinely believe the allegations and think moore should have stepped down. when the democratic party has run multiple child rapists in elections this year. ed murray anyone? he raped something like 8 crack addicted teenage boys in the 80's while working as a social worker, and his own cousin, and they ran him until his own cousin went on tv. the democratic party had no issue running with that guy. there was another one like that too. weird there hasn't been a lot of moral panic about those allegations, which have actually been proven true, from the left.

hell i don't believe in taking unfounded allegations as truth myself, but if we're going to say allegations against people like moore should be taken at face value to be "on the safe side" why aren't leftists alarmed that over 75% of the people being named in metoo allegations are jewish democrats? and the rest male feminist democrats? that's not bullshit either, if you look at the list of people accused its totally true.

some of these #metoo's are really dope though. i know a few random celeb accusers and as far as i'm aware they're all telling the truth. the #metoo thing is definitely a more grassroots, genuine thing. the moore+allred thing has more been the democratic party's way of capitalizing on it.

Humanity is pretty sad actually. It either dismisses stuff as the fault of the victim, and allows women to be gang raped and murdered and blames them for wearing skimpy clothes, or goes to the other extreme and believes every claim without any analysis whatsoever. Or just plays politics as sport and each case is judged by how it helps their own side. Pathetic.

many people are incapable of evaluating individual issues on their own merits, so they instead consult the schedule of principles furnished by their ideology, that mode of belief which demands the least of them. those who are capable still generally consult ideology, because they have neither the time nor energy to invest in uncovering truths which in the context of their lives as governed by petrified intellect is meaningless.

Aparently the speakership is cursed:

Despite several landmark legislative wins this year, and a better-than-expected relationship with President Donald Trump, Ryan has made it known to some of his closest confidants that this will be his final term as speaker. He consults a small crew of family, friends and staff for career advice, and is always cautious not to telegraph his political maneuvers. But the expectation of his impending departure has escaped the hushed confines of Ryan’s inner circle and permeated the upper-most echelons of the GOP. In recent interviews with three dozen people who know the speaker—fellow lawmakers, congressional and administration aides, conservative intellectuals and Republican lobbyists—not a single person believed Ryan will stay in Congress past 2018.

...

The speaker can't afford to admit he’s a lame duck—his fundraising capacity and deal-making leverage would be vastly diminished, making the House all the more difficult to govern. When asked at the end of a Thursday morning press conference if he was leaving soon, Ryan shot a quick “no” over his shoulder as he walked out of the room.

Farewell jackass. I'll always remember you as the biggest sell out in D.C. The kid that grew up with welfare that wants to cut everyone else's.

comparitivly the use of minerals mined to make batteries to post on social media #metoo is about a thousand pounds per square inch more of a footprint than nvidia cards.

Libs love to fly too, thats about 10thousand pounds per square inch more.

Oh yea and the prius, manufactured all over the globe, shiped to LA, may make the coastline there more blue, but it also makes the world more blue thanks to rising ocean levels.

You name it, libs eat up climate change causes.

meanwhile conservs till the land locally and use a flip phone their cuck hipster kid who moved to the coast sent them 13 years ago.

Agreed. Trump seems hell bent on a war, and I've no idea why.

Because it might get him re-elected and possibly let him get more accomplishments under his belt. Trump wants to claim an impressive legacy more than anything. He wants to be a good war-time president if he gets the chance. I do think he is going out of his way itching for a fight -- but is smart enough not to do it too obviously.

[Xaanka]

I don't know what usenet is. What's the difference?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet


its massive, you could drop the entirety of twitter onto it today and it wouldn't even make a dent.

the only reason it's not viable right now, today as a replacement for the WWW is its organisational structure. with usenet you would search by topics, so say, you would search and see every post from every person in the world about "soccer"

all you'd really have to do is make a modern client/frontend for usenet, and it could replace imageboards today. make it search by user instead of topic and it could replace facebook/twitter. it's much much much more resilient to censorship.

[JurisDictum]

Democrat Andrea Ramsey gets the distinction of being the first female to be ousted for sexual harassment (yep it was a male...I'm going to guess some young married cute guy).

I would like this guy's identity. Those laws aren't for people like him. They are for fragile women. Not little pussies like this that use laws designed to protect women for a settlement. He deserves to be humiliated for it -- and sure hope the police were condensing and rude as well.

[Xaanka]

unless we're limiting it to just politics, i think the lesbian #metoo with that girl from the voice was first

[mickmoranis]

I cant wait till 2030+ when the psychological stress women put on men is the big to do on social media and women lose their jobs for putting unfair expectations on males to perform and be successful while simultaneously manipulating them for sex whenever the female wants it from whomever they chose at the time while still expecting all men to cater to them at every turn, in case they may be interested but not so much that it can be used it against the male to harass or disempower them.

But multiple former female employees recount that Richardson's behavior began to feel like a violation when he spoke of their bodies. He had a special interest in female grooming, they say. He would notice when their nails were not up to his standards, and pay for them to get manicures. Multiple female employees recalled to SI that Richardson asked them if he could personally shave their legs.

Richardson was also known for what multiple women call the “seatbelt maneuver.” He would invite female employees out to lunch, and in keeping with his reputation as a self-styled gentleman, he would open the car door for his guests. Once they were seated, however, he would insist on fastening their seatbelt for them, reaching across their lap and brushing his hand across their breasts before putting the belt in the clasp.

Very interesting read on The Age of Outrage (https://www.city-journal.org/html/age-outrage-15608.html). Its a written lecture by a Manhattan Institute fellow -- which is a left-leaning think tank.

It's essentially a moderately conservative argument. The problem is Gen X fucked up how they were running colleges (because of over-the-top Boomer professors). We need to fix this by affirming our free-speech values and telling BLM kids to stop interrupting classes and events now and again. Also SJW Degrees are BS (he implies they don't teach as well compared to traditional subjects).

It's amazing how much escapes the author -- a Yale graduate specializing in social and moral psychology. He identifies the problem with identity politics dividing people. Similiar to Lormin. But like Lormin -- he naively believes this is all some mistake we are going to fix.

No. The money and credibility given to divisive groups will continue to pour in. Because the elites don't want us all to come together and have a big koom-by-ya moment so we tax the rich. That's exactly their fear. And those of us who are not conservatives at heart understand this.

Change must earth shattering and fundamental. Society must be turned on its head (at least temporarily). The people need a sense of justice again.

[Raavak]

Society always seems to have "come to Jesus" moments caused by some strife where everything gets "real". Great Depression, massive war, plagues. Then in the generations that follow life gets easier and things get "out of wack" with lots of illogical beliefs and the kids believe fairy tales are real. Then "boom" something again happens to slam reality in everyone's face.

There's a lot of lunacy going on right now. We've been here before. History says there will be a correction.

its funny how the left constantly brought up "fall of rome! fall of rome! its happening here!" but then they go and smoke weed and do coke at night clubs all night and now are into pegging and transgendreism but dont see the connections between progressive social behavior and caligula.

[Raavak]

Fascists (i.e. progressives) always come around in times like this. Joe Blow hard worker lets his guard down and the left builds political power. It happened with the Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans. It happened more recently in and after the "roaring 20's". Seems to be happening again right now.

Scary honest truth. When shit does hit the fan and the going gets rough... snowflakes toughen up or die.

Right now they are loud, annoying, and preachy. Complaining how evil companies wrested the power of the government to censor internet data. About how we need to let guys with dresses carry rifles in war. They are armchair warriors throwing out words on the Internet. But when the "correction" happens self-righteous ideals and safe spaces make way for the people just trying to survive in a hard world. Pajama Boy vanishes because he is weak physically, mentally, and knows nothing useful for a society rebuilding itself. A society that doesn't have the spare resources to feed and cloth a useless person.

You know what caused the Romain Empire to fall? They didn't change anything. They got lazy, conservative, and the rich completely fleeced the lower orders instead of meeting the challenges of the day. What happened to Rome, Japan, the fucking Mayans. This is what happened to China before Mao came along and saved their damn country. The elites had no personal motivation to change anything despite that the society was decaying.

If you're interested in Roman history, read empires of faith by Peter sarris I believe. By the way, the eastern Roman Empire fell after basil II because of the same thing. The urban wealthy class of Constantinople took all the money from the citizen farmers in Anatolia who had been, for 400 years, fighting Muslims to a fucking standstill. For probably a 2-5% gain in profits, the major senatorial families destroyed the means by which the people on the border sustained themselves and thus the empire. Also, Basil II conquering Armenia, the major source of crack imperial soldiers for the past 1000 years, didn't help

On NPR they are still pretending their is no man behind the curtain. "Let's hope the authorities stay vigilant over these potentially problematic mergers."

Jesus Fucking Christ

They hold no punches when it came to pointing out how fucked up the conservative parties in Europe are. Some guy assured us all they were mostly ugly racists that have "improved their marketing" to seem like they only care about immigration.

https://www.politico.com/interactives/2017/obama-hezbollah-drug-trafficking-investigation/


In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States, according to a POLITICO investigation.

The campaign, dubbed Project Cassandra, was launched in 2008 after the Drug Enforcement Administration amassed evidence that Hezbollah had transformed itself from a Middle East-focused military and political organization into an international crime syndicate that some investigators believed was collecting $1 billion a year from drug and weapons trafficking, money laundering and other criminal activities.

Over the next eight years, agents working out of a top-secret DEA facility in Chantilly, Virginia, used wiretaps, undercover operations and informants to map Hezbollah’s illicit networks, with the help of 30 U.S. and foreign security agencies.

They followed cocaine shipments, some from Latin America to West Africa and on to Europe and the Middle East, and others through Venezuela and Mexico to the United States. They tracked the river of dirty cash as it was laundered by, among other tactics, buying American used cars and shipping them to Africa. And with the help of some key cooperating witnesses, the agents traced the conspiracy, they believed, to the innermost circle of Hezbollah and its state sponsors in Iran.

But as Project Cassandra reached higher into the hierarchy of the conspiracy, Obama administration officials threw an increasingly insurmountable series of roadblocks in its way, according to interviews with dozens of participants who in many cases spoke for the first time about events shrouded in secrecy, and a review of government documents and court records. When Project Cassandra leaders sought approval for some significant investigations, prosecutions, arrests and financial sanctions, officials at the Justice and Treasury departments delayed, hindered or rejected their requests.

The Justice Department declined requests by Project Cassandra and other authorities to file criminal charges against major players such as Hezbollah’s high-profile envoy to Iran, a Lebanese bank that allegedly laundered billions in alleged drug profits, and a central player in a U.S.-based cell of the Iranian paramilitary Quds force. And the State Department rejected requests to lure high-value targets to countries where they could be arrested.

I read that yesterday and thought "Why would the DEA be spearheading a investigation into a group that politically sensitive?" This is a bit out of their jurisdiction IMO.

The DEA is an annoying bureaucracy we will someday have to retool to do something useful. Probably just managing drugs in international conflicts would be the best use for them.

I just thought it was interesting the term "fake news" has been used and in existence since at least 1894.

I should have known ventriloquism was at work when Trump the muppet spoke such a phrase. He could never come up with something original.

***Hey you never know, perhaps the phrase "humbug news" will be resurrected too.

[mickmoranis]

who's more of a muppet? The guy saying that there is fake news or the entire liberal party saying that it's a myth?

Even liberals understand fake news exists.

Newsflash: Trump also uses fake news. Conservatives also use fake news.

Fake news isn't something liberals created. As you can see by that cartoon, fake news actually has been recognized and even called as such since 1894.

did I post an example of how CNN prints fake news?

yes

are you and other libtards (which you sound like are you libtarded now?) trying to defend CNN by having petty arguments about trump instead of acknowledging that CNN Is fake news?

yes

does me saying CNN is fake news, mean I am saying fox news is not fake news?

nope

CNN is a piece of shit right now. It's actually pathetic.

NY Times and WaPo are also historically Fake News.

big surprise: media magnates have deep ties to govt and are actively used as propaganda mills.

Ultimately, this is why I think NN's end is going to be worse than when it was in the hands of govt. It's easier to obfuscate backroom dealings to suppress info and free speech than if the government was doing it publicly.

net nutrality did not protect websites or internet service providers from limiting free speech. twitter bans people based on speech all the time. its totally within all of their rights to ban any type of speech.

the reason they dont, mostly, is because we have capitalism and if they did people would just outright stop using the service, specifically if they went all "authoritarian" with their choices of what to ban or throttle or whatever.

However the goverment, if they do that, as the FCC demonstrated... if the majority public opinion is contrary to theirs, it means nothing to them and they will just ban/throttle whatever the feel like at the time.

All it takes is a libcuck al frankin to be in the white house that thinks somethign stupid like, "you know what piracy should be illegal and the best way to prevent it is to block all access to websites that are suspected of supporting piracy"

then no matter what you want, you aint getting access to that.

no there has never, ever, EVER been an example of a goverement that didnt take away its citizens rights... and as we progress into a world where both the base and the party elete agree on limiting our freedom, giving the goverment the power to do so is a fools errand that will ultimately end with the rights of your children, or even you, taken from you.

1) i don't browse reddit
2) asking for a little evidence to better understand your views has triggered you? Seek help dude.
3) I still don't understand why you think NN on a state wide basis will be better. On the whole, I'm pro-state govt over los federales and I am honestly hoping to hear an alternative opinion on the matter since so much of pro NN stinks of emotional reactionary propaganda.
4) please take a breath and work on writing more coherently. It's hard to do anything more than ignore your posts when they are literally streams of wrong-assumptions and vilifications against the government party you do not agree with. You're being just as a bad as a retarded SJW, and that makes me sad.

[mickmoranis]

2) well the gov did put peopel in concentration camps just 60 years ago if they were japanese. Also they try to take away rights all the time because theyre afraid of guns etc. There are many examples of the freedom of americans being limited by goverment overreech.. taking your shoes off at the airport for the TSA is another example etc (one proven to not help anyone mind you) There's a lot of examples. And even if there werent, the point is protecting future generations from an over reaching goverment is the entire modus of the states right/libertarian constatitionalists. Just like it was for the folks the penned the constitution.

3) On a stat level they do not have the power to control the entire country, a state can be supper fucked up (take south carolina for example) and one state over it can be an beutiful place with a booming economy (north)

The country was built on the premice that states would manage shit like this, not the feds. Because states are smaller and easier to manage, rather than the entire country.

Hell NN isnt even goign to be a problem for most libcucks because you live in cities with lots of options for isp's... while the states with smaller pop's are the ones that will suffer the most. Ironically they dont realy care though... and that is just an anecdotal thought.

4. I will never work on writing coherently, writing incoherently is what gets me off and my right.

I am not vilifying a goverment party, Im simply stating a fact: the left is activly trying to change and limit free speech laws, even bernie sanders tried to pass legislation to limit it last year, and hes the smartest guy they got.

I am simply stating a fact. The left wants to limit free speech and the "evil demigog authoritarian nazi trump" happened to be the guy who appointed the guy who ensured that no government apparatus would have the ability to do that. That should make you think.

[skarlorn]

The Left definitely has done some nasty things. I think their entire rhetoric against Trump is some of the worst sensationalism I've seen out of the American people.

But let's not forget the entire McCarthy era government impingement on freedoms (Republican led). You had people losing jobs and going to jail because they had different political views than the administration. Surely you know this? Red Scare and Lavender Scare set the precedent for us losing a lot of our rights, even to this day. It was a precursor to the Patriot Act (woops another right-wing liberties rape-fest)

It's irresponsible to only blame the Left for reducing personal liberty and free speech. Under the guise of "protecting ur freedum", the Republican party repeatedly implemented strategies that discourage free speech and foster paranoia. Right-wing paradigm also loves to reduce civil-liberties and marginalize people under the guise of "my freedom means u cain't do freedom how u want it."

Yes, Left-Wing is guilty, too, but here's the problem with your stance:

Ur basically just saying you prefer the way the GoP limits your freedom of speech and civil liberties. Which is fine. That's the entire purpose of contemporary government, to shape and limit freedom for the good of the people it serves (theoretically). But your argument that it's only the Left does this is equally sensationalist and occluded as left-wingers out there who read a CNN article and then scream about how evil the new tax bill is. Basically what I'm saying is you're the equivalent to a SJW girl in san francisco who has never had to work a day in her life and practices yoga and then goes home to smoke weed and bitch about how evil the republican party is, but for the right. Get better.

PS u are constantly vilifying the left and casting aspersions on liberals with the way you write. Obviously you know that the sector of the left who smokes weed and does coke is only a fraction of the party at large. And obviously you know that people on the right smoke weed and do coke... right? Or are you just an alt-right shill who screeches about the degeneration of society b/c filthy liberals are doing ass-fucking and would support measures to limit their freedom to choose sexual partners while having a melt-down that the left wants to limit ur ability to do hate speech?

:)

[mickmoranis]

dont get hung up on me hating on the left. The same way I shouldnt get triggered by you asking for more detail, so were both in teh wrong here.

But seriously, I hate the left, i hate the modern left so much, the republicans are just as bad BUT I dont hate them as much, because theyre bad in the way that someones old mean racist grandpa is bad..

the left however is supposed to be the YIN to this yang... its the light vs dark, day vs night, right vs wrong.

Its the balance that makes the world spin. But right now the left has lost control, and we have TWO bad sides in a TWO party system.

I hate the left because they used to fight for the good, but now they fight for the "other bad"

and we need someone to fight for the good.

Now, here we have libertarian constatutionalists... they are not the right OR the left. They simply do not believe in sharing their wealth with others, and so people on the left think they are conservative.

They do not believe in corperate control, they believe states should sort it out. They do not believe in no taxes, they believe states should work it out.

There is a lack of "belief" in that party, there is only one thing. That states should work out like 90% of what the feds are controlling.

If you had libertarian ideology driving one half of the political spectrum, something like 75% of the country would probubly have state funded healthcare. But instead the left (a globliast jihad party) has provided 0 people with healthcare and refuses to while digging its heels in the sand about it until they get their way.. just like the right does about its bullshit.

But again, dont mistake me vilifying the left with me glorifying the right.

However I love trump and if he asked me to kill people I would.

This is great. And that's why I think the alt-right is valuable, because they call the left out on the shit the left die-hards have been blinded to. The trick has simply been cajoling you into communicating this message in a coherent way without hyper-aggressive phraseology that only serves to upset the selfsame people who desperately need a history lesson and fact-check.

And you almost did it, too :-)

Finally, you can't pitch into rhetoric plagued by verbal abuse and name-calling and then just be like "oh don't mind that LOL."

Here's an adhominem attack: if you can't see why that communication style is destructive rather than constructive, and merely a reactionary fall-back to pique the ire of your enemy so you can point and say "Hah youre just as bad as I am so you're WORSE," then you are worse than an idiot. You are a blind LOSER.

Private roads are usually drive ways for the rural homes. Lots of county roads are neglected because there is no money from the tax base due to low population. Cagle takes care of the basics which is all a government really should do.

The President’s Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, maintained that his department had run the numbers and had shown that the tax bill would pay for itself. It appears that he lied, not so much about the result of the Treasury’s study but about the existence of the study itself: the Times reported last month that the analysis had not been done.

But yea... Trump is a real champion for the middle class.

[mickmoranis]

https://i.imgur.com/tepMoj6.png

[AzzarTheGod]

https://i.imgur.com/tepMoj6.png

This is only 50% satire. Its a tax cut and it does benefit the middle class.

Of course smaller sized middle class businesses (5-10 million in profits/year) will see the largest relief. This is because businesses between 2-10 million were getting absolutely murdered by taxes, with no incentive to hire. That is the problem. You had this HUGE tax burden on smaller businesses for no reason, while the big dogs are over in Ireland and Holland paying a flat 15% while technically being an American founded company.

Businesses over 25 million in revenue, well they didn't really need a tax cut but are getting one anyway. That is one of the missteps of the bill.

Anyway, the bill does what Trump said he was going to do. There is no sense for the left to hate on it. The only thing they should be voicing strong dissent for is not taxing passive income over 100 million dollars, and not raising the capital gains tax and/or changing the definition of capital gains. P.S. draft federal regulations on hedge funds please. stop giving these overnight billionaires a place to make money disappear and we'll be a lot richer as a whole.

he's right though. the 2008 crash happened before obama was even elected.

[JurisDictum]

Context:

It used to be that Bernie Sanders was an ideological lone ranger in the Senate. Now, a whole host of potential presidential hopefuls are racing to represent the liberal grass roots on their issues of the day — and pulling the Democratic Party’s center of gravity further to the left.

The trend was apparent throughout the fall among the half-dozen Democratic senators drawing the loudest buzz for 2020 — aside from Sanders (I-Vt.), the group includes Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.).

New left rising.

hypothetical question here: what if aesthetically pleasing, functional vagina nipples have to be installed into genes before birth? does you're little boy get them or nah? doesn't denying your little boy vagina nipples constitute overriding his consent anyway and so you should just decide based on what you think is most aesthetically sound?

followup for the no's: what if they come discounted in a modification package that reduces incidence of cancer and MS by 99% and it would save U a year salary on those health packages?

tertiary for holdouts: what if the don of the zaibatsu requires u submit you're baby boy to nipple mod and circumcision to get the health mods installed at all? could vanilla boys with 100 yr lifespans win in the marketplace vs semi-immortal, sexually unfrustrated cyborgs or would U merely be damning your natty child to poverty and loneliness?

please answer question by question as they apply.

[skarlorn]

Just to get clear. The vaginal nipple mods are activate on demand, but impossible to activate if I don't put them into my boy?

[hyejin]

the functionality of the vagina nipples is up to U. Consider it you're "dream" vagina nipple. I'm not the vagina nipple engineer. but be realistic: 1 thing it can't do is seal shut and be invisible -- visible vaginas all the time. However, the vagina nipple cannot be implanted after birth it can only be installed into the gametes before fertilization.

[Pokesan]

gotta replay ff7 this winter

thanks for reminder

[skarlorn]

Without fathoming the shape of my ideal vagina nipple I can instinctively say I would install it as an option if it were a cultural norm and would increase potential appeal of my spawn.

Otherwise I'd only opt for it if there were other benefits like free health care like in your third and second options to an extent.

It seems like an unnecessary burden to put on a baby child and if they really want a vagina nipple they should genetically engineer a solution and I'll give myself one in solidarity.

[hyejin]

i gave u something to run with and u woudlnt even answer point by point like i asked. ill have to write a whole nother post if i want to tease you into the intellectual juicy bits of the vagina nipple question.

We got a more credible list of progressives from the one progressive newspaper left, The Nation:

But they are still talking softly to the bourgeois wing of the party IMO. They even mentioned Joe Kennedy III...GTFO of here with that BS. Calling his gun control speech "Most Valuable House Speech," says a lot about the value of House speeches.

That's not new. Using it as a pretext for war would be a huge mistake

[AzzarTheGod]

That's not new. Using it as a pretext for war would be a huge mistake

I dont think its about going to war so much as its about social and economic pressure on the regime (I.E. getting more support for additional sanctions).

Any talk like pretext to war is just coming from Israel and their prop pieces, no one else. More specifically, the political party of Benj4min N3t@nyahu who just stole an election in order to further the deep state agenda of Israel. Yes they have a deep state too.

[AzzarTheGod]

That's not new. Using it as a pretext for war would be a huge mistake

But let's keep in mind we have opened fire on sovereign governments for far less. I.E. Qaddafi was not guilty of any crime, and guilty of no crime against his people.

We wouldn't hit Iran until it turns into a Libyan situation. The people must revolt first, then the US would begin covert operations. There will not be a frontal assault on Iran. just arming rebels, sabotaging computer systems, stoking the fire, steering the agenda (through social media) etc much in the same vein as Egypt and other Arab Spring countries.

We've been down this road before. We know the playbook.

[JurisDictum]

If we invade Iran -- we're marrying that bitch and we aren't leaving. I hope people understand this. We're talking huge expense at minimum. And we would still probably look like monsters to the Muslim world.

Big increase in terrorism likely. Almost certainly we will try to legitimize a totally corrupt regime that agrees to brutally suppress terrorism/anyone who challenges them.

its bad bad bad. It's so bad I don't think were actually going to do it. But I've been wrong about Trump before.

No way- a unified, successful, democratic Iran would be even more anti-Saudi than the current nation. The playbook for Iran would be to carve it up into smaller ethnic states to weaken any potential resistance to Israel and Saudi Arabia

I don't think an invasion or "regime change" happens though. We have generals and intelligence analysts who know Iran can mobilize literally millions of Shia devotees who will happily die for the state. In addition, some of the protesters are calling for a parliamentary democracy, some are calling for the last descendant of the Shah to be restored as monarch, but most are calling for cheaper eggs

The point is, Persians arent brain dead Arabs who say "Allahu Akbar" whilst taking up AKs to shoot up streets in a murderous orgy to topple the regime. These are protests representing discontent, not an organized revolution. The sad truth is the Iranian regime has staying power. Oh, and the second a Saudi jet flies over Iran, all of those protestors will be falling in line behind the regime, just like during the Iran-Iraq war, to defend the homeland

For my part, I'll be taking a huge dump on the entrance to a local Sunni mosque after eating nothing but pork for a week

I don't think an invasion or "regime change" happens though.


Disagree with you saying it can't happen. But the hurdles are huge. Iran is essentially a first-world country that has been held back by not participating in Western banking. Its very far from a hell hole like Libya despite what the West wants people to think. Its a great nation, under any regime.

It would be like saying we are going to invade Turkey to fix the problems in Turkey. The fact N3t@nyahu is pushing for war is definitely a factor. I think what this will amount to is some air strikes on nuclear sites. The Israel far right definitely wants to make use of this presidency while it still can. The Israeli far right is under heavy fire from that last election fraud. It amounted to a Vladimir Putin style election with the results predetermined. So this is their last chance to make an impact against Iran. They can't risk another election theft again or Israel will lose legitimacy. They have to get Iran done within the next 2-4 years. There is a finite amount of time for Neo-Con Trump and fascist n3t@nyahu to make this happen.

Partitioning ethnic states made sense in Iraq and we didn't partition Iraq either. So thats definitely not a possibility.

So apparently the Silicon Valley elite are now notorious for big sex parties. The problem with that is women are a bit disadvantaged by the dynamic.

See, rich entrepreneurs have a lot of different ways to make money. So to keep it interesting, they just let their dicks decide what to invest in. All kinds of business is decided at these sex parties.

The party scene is now so pervasive that women entrepreneurs say turning down invitations relegates them to the uncool-kids’ table. “It’s very hard to create a personal connection with a male investor, and if you succeed, they become attracted to you,” one told me. “They think you’re part of their inner circle, [and] in San Francisco that means you’re invited to some kind of orgy. I couldn’t escape it here. Not doing it was a thing.” Rather than finding it odd that she would attend a sex party, says this entrepreneur, people would be confused about her not attending. “The fact that you don’t go is weird,” the entrepreneur said, and it means being left out of important conversations. “They talk business at these parties. They do business,” she said. “They decide things.” Ultimately, this entrepreneur got so fed up that she moved herself and her start-up to New York and left Silicon Valley for good.

The rich are literally making us suck their dick for money.

haha i got fired from a major online video game retailer and studio that will never release the third release of their flagship title (wink wink) because i wouldn't have weird poly-amorous sex with a bunch of gross tech dudes and their blue hair rotten crotch female companions (whores)

i gave up on the whole industry, it instantly became HYPER creepy the second i was trans.

another one that happens to be a foreign console company who's primary market is children (hint) harassed me until i quit because i went to HR about sexual harassment because i walked in on a 19 year old latino boy throwing up on a 85+ year old chinese exec's cock in the bathroom.

i could be possibly talking about some of the biggest companies in the entire industry. who knows. you'll just have to guess.

no its legitimately disgusting if you're female or trans you HAVE to participate in this weird poly-amorous drug-fueled sex orgy shit or else you get blacklisted or harassed out of your job. these are the same people loudly screeching about how our society doesn't respect women. much as it was hilarious when the entire world found out that hollywood was a cesspool of sex-addicted creeps who all happen to share the same religion, exposure of the hypocrisy of liberal policy-funding technocrats is awesome.

all the women are whores and deserve to be shamed as well though, lol @ the author trying to paint these women who just couldn't stop going to gross nerd sex orgies as victims. the only "victims" of that are people like me who chose to walk away from, got fired from, or harassed at a well paying job over it. personally i was done with dealing with gay nerd losers to begin with and i never went to school for anything i was doing but lol at some poor girl who goes to school to get into IT and gets faced with this shit.

[JurisDictum]

You know Kink.com stuff was pretty hot from the Bay Area. Now they closed down...Its like the professionals have been moved out so some nerdy tech want-to-be can try to take their place....

Being a dom that can suduce kinky sub people is a cool kids club your more or less born into. And IDK who the fuck these guys think they are to pull it off so seamlessly. It just happens to be subordinates at work all the time eh?

Just hire a hooker and get over yourself.

I blame the way the BDSM community talks about consent. Like you get them to sign a forum in a office setting and then all bets are off. Its not supposed to be a mechanical business agreement -- unless you are hiring a hooker.

I'm assuming a lot of good will on behalf of these dominator wannabe nerds. Maybe they totally get it -- but get off on the power trip of coercing those that work under them to do stuff they don't want to. This is actually more likely.

And that's why I can't agree with the Anti-Feminist article published by the NYT today (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/05/opinion/golden-globes-metoo.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fo pinion):

What happened to women’s agency? That’s what I find myself wondering as I hear story after story of adult women who helplessly acquiesce to sexual demands. I find it especially curious given that a majority of women I know have been in situations in which men have come on to them — at work or otherwise. They have routinely said, “I’m not interested” or “Get your hands off me right now.” And they’ve taken the risk that comes with it.

Or maybe -- and this is just a maybe...the guy grabbing her ass should take the risk. Not her for choosing to work there.

Maybe if the author was born into a fuck up family where her step dad molested her or something -- should have a better understanding of why standing up to certain kinds of guys is extremely difficult for certain kinds of women. Even if that is not ALL women.

But I do agree with the due process point she made....I just found this quote very left field.

[Raavak]

That's a "50 Shades of Grey"'s f'd up understanding of BDSM, not real BDSM.

[Ahldagor]

Porn actors and actresses sign a contract that puts them in that black and white position because it's a staged performance to sell a fantasy. Private bdsm stuff is consentual and requires a lot of trust between those engaging in the behavior.

Kink proly left Cali because of the mandatory condom usage for porn filming in Cali. Most consumers want to see unprotected sex, so the market dictates unprotected sex since it's a business.

Also, this whole aversion to sex and sexual dynamic in the workplace categorically is severely misguided. I'd never swap fluids for safety, but I'm far far more valuable when I have all other options open for managing the psychology of my fellow-samurai.

Working was very depressing when I had to charcoal-filter my personality. My coworkers are way happier now too and we definitely make more money with me pulling all levers available. My employees get prettier and healthier and they dress better and smile when they come to work and I don't hurt them. :o No less legitimate than the 'family business' model; it gets gross only when gross people are involved.

[JurisDictum]

So one place the Democratic elite have been getting their dumb fucking ideas (https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/08/tom-steyer-2018-midterms-327574?lo=ap_e1) on how to resist Trump -- is a billionaire hedge fund manager Tom Steyer.

The billionaire has been the biggest donor to Democrats in recent election cycles, to the tune of nearly $200 million. His national stature has grown recently with a series of straight-to-camera ads, calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. That campaign will continue, Steyer said, adding that he will be delivering copies of “Fire and Fury,” the Michael Wolff book infuriating Trump’s White House, to all congressional offices.

I just hope he is stupid enough to run for president himself. Which it sounds like he may be. Whenever I see some crap billionaire candidate that fancies himself a man of the people -- I'll call him Steyer.

Steyer has been playing heavily in races across the country in recent years, largely through his NextGen political group that initially was focused on climate issues. The group relaunched in 2016 with a broader mandate, not zeroing in on any one issue.

“We have taken a disastrous turn, and now we need to get back to a path to a just and prosperous future,” he said.

In other words he is full of shit and doesn't care about anything except being in power and maybe the environment. Fucking gross.

Ahh shit I didn't even realize she missed out on climate change posturing.

But as MM knows -- I was referring to wealth inequality. The party elite is desperate. They need some plutocrat-friendly nominee and soon. How else are they going to crowd out all the legitimate populist candidates?

Oprah would lose us the election likely...she would turn it into a white vs everyone else kind of deal. Her advisers probably couldn't wait to get hysterical about any criticism directed her way being racist. This would pretty much instantly turn off the non-SJW population.

Well its hard to argue shes not qualified with Trump sitting in office. She would be a strong candidate....but I have a strange feeling she would be more of a foreign policy president that doesn't do much for the economy...how much you want a bet she would just recruit the Clinton empire?

But I do think she would be a total peace dove on FP and be famous for that.

[skarlorn]

oprah is an extremely strong candidate in the zeitgeist. She WILL run and WILL be a strong contender in the Democratic primaries. Her win or loss will ultimately ride on her willingness to fuck over the people voting for her and give up her authority for the people who put her into power.

She'll definitely out-PR and out-muscle all the other female candidates, of whom there will be more than men right now, because the DNC is wrongfully thinking that they need a woman to get Trump out of office. But she WILL lose to Trump who will absolutely destroy her with his master-level bullying tactics and psychological assault.

I really hope the Democrats manage to put a more legit person up for election. I would still vote for Sanders. I'm not seeing many better options now that Kid Rock is running for Senate and the entire entertainment industry suddenly has a boner because they realize the dystopian future of Idiocracy is Now.

TBH it wasn't all corruption though. Part of it was simply people assuming Clinton would win and wanting to identify with the winner....good ol' inevitability. Elite liberals liked Clinton more than Bernie...but they still had issues with her Foreign Policy. Hence why some Neo-cons went Clinton

But more dems voted for Bernie....that's a fact.

when the super delegates and the party elite say that they have chosen their candidate, that is what put that idea into the minds of the average demacuck. So, it was manipulation. it was all a manipulation.

Also serious corruption, like in nevada, had a MAJOR affect on americas ability to see that sanders was the clear winner.

I mean obviously hillary was not a clear winner hence god emp got the win.

well lets see, Bernie had the lets make a change momentum and had all the little libs and hippies if i remember correctly they absolutely screwed him out of the primary seems like they killed some people over keeping it hush and then after taking his licks bernie went and bought a third home so hmm. then the dnc "leaks" were blamed on russia trying to get trump into office if you ask me the ellectoral college saved us from a clinton fixed election.

Didn't he lose because DNC corruption and conspiracy to make him lose?

Idk, that played into it. But even without superdelegates Bernie got wrecked in the Hispanic vote. He did shockingly bad here in Texas, and he lost Cali too. That doesn't bode well for his prospects...

You can't only win places like New Hampshire and vermont

what mattered were the white votes in the primary in NY and Cali... both manipulated basic bitches by the authority that they want telling them how to live their lives.

the Hispanics didn't go out and vote in the primary. Get real.

And now Fusion's testimony was released. Money laundering charges anyone?

The Trumpian brigade is so fucked.

i would rather disagree with a room full of white southern males at a MAGA rally than i would disagree with a room full of white hipster females at any place in san francisco

cynicism bout america is rly pre-trump

it's actually pretty ez to make it and u get a stable fief for it. your peers have been completely destroyed by alcohol, marijuana, social media which doesnt include my wisdom, and dietary missteps because they and their progenitors are inherently inferior. the system works good and the path is clear if u don't leap headlong into any obvious spike traps like marriage / drugs /etc

What if you just slowly creep into the spike traps, is the effect the same in the end? I know some pretty happy drug addicts/married folk.

happiness does not equate to becoming a member of the Lordship. I would argue that seeking happiness is a spike trap.

I hear what you're saying and have noticed this creep correlates with nonsentient pet ownership, symptomatic of fundamental moral/spiritual collapse. I won't rule out a pig experiencing pig's happiness but this sort of ugliness can only exist happily in stupefaction. I don't think that could equal real sublime human joy.
