@TiffMoodNukes
Kennedy didn't choose Johnson. Nixon didn't choose Spiro Agnew. Reagan didn't choose Bush. Trump didn't choose Pence. All pushed on them by Deep State.
It's very cool that it *seems* Trump is truly choosing his running mate this time.
@Rothmus
It's a lot of people.
Folks flexing like she did something wrong think they're clever, not understanding they simply navigated $34TRILLION in US debt better.
Very few of us actually have anything and even property is ultimately government owned.
@9mm_smg
People not named Mark Cuban are more careful today, but was told straight "There's funding for only one of you, and she's Hispanic and female" so move along.
Was told this by the white woman who ran the program. Whitest moment ever, for both of us.
@atensnut
Yes. It was a weird one even here, inland Florida.
Unusually dry, unusually sustained winds (rather than cycling through bands.) Been through a dozen +.
This one was weird and weirder to pick up moisture over land hundreds of miles. Makes little sense. I assume it was seeded.
@TheQuartering
Try asking Google Gemini if Pennsylvania is a closed primary state. Bonus: When it refuses (punts) ask if it could have answered a week ago.
Few see yet how Google tips the scales, and how Gemini AI promises to be its most powerful propaganda weapon.
@GadSaad
@mcuban
@dallasmavs
The clear ageism is equally damning!
I noted (paraphrasing Cuban) "Quotas mean DEI wasn't done right." Reminded me of the "Communism just hasn't been done right" spiel. End result is quotas, albeit informal, every time.

@Timcast
You can’t bully tens of millions of moderates into voting the way you like, and Rogan is far harder game than Rittenhouse. Making Trump supporters look like the cult it’s accused of being doesn’t help.
@ScottAdamsSays
It's not just a personal statement or boycott.
It's simply wise to avoid that place and to have your money avoid that place insofar as possible.
@nikkiboy180
@ZubyMusic
Non-theist most of my life, and understand.
I'm just missing the "spiritual" or "supernatural" gene or something.
But one sees the elites' open worship of dark forces (or entities?) and becomes undeniable: there's something to it.
@thevivafrei
Dave is a touchy one, you just noticed? 😉
In a month, people will remember just 2 things from past week. Trump reached out to the Bronx, and he reached out to libertarians.
@beinlibertarian
Geez, unfortunate.
People mad because he won't vote for Trump?
I'm going to, but there are reasons not to. A write-in is a fair protest, Paul a great choice.
@atensnut
Cracks me up is that Biden regime and their media try to paint MAGAs as racist. I look at who they support in this thread and others, and it's a black guy, an Indian, and a Hawaiian woman.
@9mm_smg
@DeadCatBounce86
That would be a simple and interesting survey. IDK, but (let's say in US) I think a lot of them absolutely do vote for it.
In NM, we saw many of them arrive from the hellscapes they voted for and flip the state from pretty libertarian to deep socialist.
@jimmy_dore
Higher inflation.
They see recession incoming.
Recipe in for staglation, so that's a term us oldies know well but will be interesting to see young folks learn.
Upside, not a bad time to have some silver (or gold) that jingles.
@HeidiBriones
Good.
Four months ago I went along with this stuff at work even though not compulsory, showing I'd play ball.
Have felt like an ass ever since.
Damn, they just grind at you until you're doing stupid things.
@KeneAkers
I don't oppose affordable groceries, lower gas prices, increased financial security for Americans of all demographics, peace through prosperity, energy independence or any of it.
All Dems seem to run on is "More Abortions!" which doesn't strike me as Christian if I even cared.
@simonateba
@FoxNews
@TuckerCarlson
No. Gutfeld on YT sometimes.
I knew they were controlled, but I could pretend they weren't. The Carlson mess wrecked the illusion for me.
@DavidBahnsen
Even just that 12 seconds of context deflates the accusation. Anyway, conservatives I know generally aren't happy with his worst stuff, but some ill-chosen words and mean tweets are minor compared to encouraging a 10 million man invasion as we have now.
@amuse
I see a lot of cops.
They're more attentive to a jogger on the beach or a gym owner open during lockdown, I guess.
@michaelmalice
is right more often than it's comfortable to admit.
@JohnCleese
And the "Trump will be a vengeful dictator" stuff would actually be scary except he was already president for four years, and if anything a bit soft. Some crony tax cuts, thriving economy and a more secure border was about all. Eh?
@eyeslasho
This drives me nuts about DEI.
I grew up farming. I learned skills and ethics, but hardly needed high IQ. Yet the work produced value!
Every nonviolent person can have a place in our society. The idea that we need to make more people of a race surgeons etc for equity is insane.
@stillgray
What news story have you read in the past 50 years that had "humanitarian aid" "temporary" OR "1000 American troops deployed" that ended well?
We hit the trifecta.
@BillyM2k
No matter what high-end and marketable skills you have, learn a trade. Plumbing, welding, auto, nursing - any trade you can grab at the community college after hours.
@ScottAdamsSays
2016 was a helluvan opportunity. Against all odds, they won. One in a million and Republicans shat it away.
Another opportunity like that is highly unlikely.
Try but...eh.
@eyeslasho
Yes!
Only a small number of high achievers are required for a robust society.
A weakness in the US is a tendency to place resources into mitigating problem areas rather than into high performing areas. Things like early college high school really help rescue high achievers.
@ajtourville
@SpaceX
If this continues, I would think SpaceX considers launch sites in friendly nations outside the USA. I assume they are already investigating.
@atensnut
He's choosing a running mate, first and foremost.
I think Ramaswamy is great in that he can play the bull dog and let Trump be personable again. Gabbard, obviously great on television and holds the line affably yet sharply. I like them both.
@ScottAdamsSays
Glad to see more people noticing this aspect.
I think they hate Tulsi Gabbard MORE than Trump. No one is supposed to leave the plantation, least of all a "woman of color." She or Ramaswamy are good life insurance policies, but Tulsi may be the best.
@Timcast
Defunding of mental institutions (and pushing that problem onto law enforcement) as well as loosening of antitrust laws are up there.
Times were good, there's understandable nostalgia among Boomers, but he set a lot of bad things into motion.
@TiffMoodNukes
I get that Harris copies inspirational talk.
Reagan, Kennedy, Lincoln, King, they all did.
What she misses is that those people all provided some meat to give it substance. Harris has only hand-me-down platitudes, and it's frustrating how many fall for it.
@LegendaryEnergy
Can't blame him. Vax is the new circumcision.
Most of us had it done, but no value added.
School - that's just state daycare + indoctrination and I wish more conservatives acknowledged that fact.
@eyeslasho
There's room for everybody to be productive and in fact happy in a complex society. That's what I hate about DEI. Adjacent to Peter Principle by pushing people to fail.
@RollingStone
At what point did Trump "beg" -?
Put together 3 consecutive sentences that amount to him "begging."
And what did Biden say to the Libertarian Convention?
His best two lines? His best appeal? Please share!
@CuriousPejjy
$PLTR's software suites are useful across diverse industries and has security clearances for defense shared only with AWS $AMZN and $MSFT - not even Google (which is bad on HIPAA too).
I used to follow news releases, but
@amitisinvesting
covers a lot conveniently here.
@michaelmalice
Minds can be changed.
It took me awhile to get passed thinking "NYC has devolved into anarchy" to see that without government, shop owners could at least protect themselves.

@TaraBull808
She's so obviously sexy, the wholesome look goes a lot further than this trashy look. It takes her from top shelf to streetwalker. Just a bad decision, no big deal, we all make them.
@JohnCleese
Definitions have changed, so it's good to remember what our rulers and Cleese mean by "democracy."
Ukraine is a model. CIA installed leaders, no further elections, no free press, religions banned, and forced active military service into your 50s. That is their "democracy."
@ScottAdamsSays
The $47 used by The Atlantic is a surprisingly common stock image going back to at least 2010. Its a weird combo, but I think folks are seeing animal shapes in the clouds on this one.
@LPNH
Offers were extended by Trump. He got out of home territory. Again. Second time in the week.
LPNH is stuck on the principle of "My irrelevance makes me superior!" It's just weird after a point.
@beinlibertarian
It's wild how people have re-written their memories of Trump. Left remember him as a nutsy to "resist," right remembers him as an anti-establishment freedom fighter. Bizarre.
@TiffMoodNukes
Very J. Peterson of me, but weak men are dangerous, strong men provide reliability and safety.
Trump, to my eye, wanted strength for all communities. Dems and uniparty want weakness. As the libs say, "Black communities hit hardest."
@Cernovich
Maher is just sensible enough at the right times to keep the greater lies alive. Like a healthy patch in a gangrenous foot that makes you think you can save it.
@kimKBaltimore
Great pic and post.
If anything, coming from DJT, I'm amazed how gentle his correction of Ramaswamy was. Just a "stay in your lane" message from a literal opponent. Likelihood of a running mate nod from Trump to Vivek actually ticked up higher, to me.
@TiffMoodNukes
And talk to people in hurricane zones. Electricity is what will go out, they get it. Stock up means arms and munitions for sure. Never enough water, canned meats. But also boredom, and bored people under duress make *awful* decisions. Books, puzzles, cards etc. also important..
@MelonieMac
I liked that racism was on its way out.
Especially in movies, comedians other entertainments. Seemed just who was best and funniest, and you could be into anything or anyone without a "statement."
@michaelshermer
@joerogan
@RobertKennedyJr
I don't need a "god" whether Fauci or RFK. Each is fallible, subject to history and further evidence.
But RFK's prescription of not allowing corporations to buy their regulators seems a HUGE step in the right direction. I don't care if he's wrong on every other point.
@RealJamesWoods
US-American women are the most privileged, coddled major demographic on the planet. Stunning that hiring them raises DEI scores, it's obviously not about helping the underdog.
@simonateba
@realannapaulina
She's been a great representative.
Seems to truly fight while many on the right simply grandstand.
I don't get mad that she's hot, too.
@BarackObama
A.I. is going to replace jobs at a scale most people don't yet understand. Obama was actually correct on that a decade ago with his ATM analogy of replacing customer service.
This is a terrible time to flood the USA with people who are unskilled laborers in the best case.
@eyeslasho
Man, that's real. I was an avid listener - what I had in my car for 1 hour each way commute and any car time - and they became unbearable circa 2015-16.
Better late than never, or better never than late?
Finally bought small amount of $SPY standard SPDR S&P 500 ETF. Looks like a mix with a long runway. A little stability perhaps as I fool around with other things like $KITT $CYBN $ADN $JOBY
@beinlibertarian
Someone can be hard right or left and still be libertarian on some issue. Thats the practical approach. So I don’t care about views on climate or abortion - if that person wants to end Ed Dapt, put them there; if they want to reign in FBI, put them there. Etc.
@TheQuartering
I admit, I can't get past him purchasing children.
Ironic that whole Handmaid's Tale thing came from the left. Double-irony: the new right.
