You make the mistake of believing that Trump tries to maintain a coherent narrative like the rest of us.

That's not how Trump works: he says anything at anytime, and doesn't care about contradicting himself or being fact-checked or anything. What matters to him is the instant soundbite. And the more soundbites, the better - what his fatass friend Steve Bannon calls "Flooding the zone with shit" so that nobody has enough time and energy to follow up on anything Trump says.

Trump has been doing this for decades. This has nothing to do with dementia and everything to do with his particular brand of shameless populism aimed at his simple-minded voter base who only care about the instant soundbites.

The teacher is the one who's confused here. The kid is entirely correct.

You know who else ran unlisted trains of deportees - or listed under some euphemistic name like "special train" or "resettlement to the east"? Can you guess?

Hint: if ICE feels the need to conceal what they're doing, it's because they know what they're doing is not right. Just like the SS.

He's really proud of having undergone - and aced, according to him - two cognitive tests in one year. But he totally fails to see that this many such tests at such short intervals is a clear sign that his doctors are worried he's actively going gaga.

Not to mention, acing a cognitive test is about as difficult as acing a patellar reflex test: it's not a sign that you're smart, it's just proof that your noggin' is still working correctly at a basic level.

Normally I would agree. But in this instance, the very fact that Jenner is trans and voluntarily having her face eaten by leopards is at the core of the issue. So you can't really tiptoe around the subject in this instance. She's totally doing this to herself.

I left the US 24 years ago. I saw all this coming when Dubya shat out the USA Patriot Act.

The US has been a fascist country for decades. Just ask any Gitmo detainee... Now it's official.

She's luckier than VIvian Wilson I guess.

God I’m enjoying his downfall

Why? He's a fucking pedo who's going to enjoy free housing for the rest of his life. All he lost is pointless titles and a bit of dignity - as if he had any dignity left to spare.

I'll enjoy his downfall when he gets questioned by the police, put on trial and thrown in jail.

That's not quite what she said: she basically said she openly believes in batshit religious nonsense, and as such would have no trouble believing unknown phenomena are figures appearing in her batshit beliefs.

The keyword in all of this is batshit. How she won an election, I'll never know.

I don't think soldiers and war-related events qualify for a nomination for a Darwin Award.

War is just sad and terrible. There's no good lesson, chuckle or schadenfreude to be derived from videos like this.

Just wait until they find out Jesus was a jew...

It would be more entertaining if you posted that on the tankie instances.

Except he doesn't give a fuck. Haven't you noticed?

For better or worse, China is on the verge of making American silicon completely irrelevant. I know that because I'm posting this on an ARM64 laptop rocking a Rockchip compute module and it's plenty adequate enough for most people's everyday needs.

Therefore, whatever Trump has in mind to artificially maintain the US' lead will soon be completely ineffective. Worse, the more he tries to restrict access to US technology, the faster China will develop its own equivalent and the sooner it will catch up. And hopefully, at some point, the European countries will get off their collective ass and start catching up too.

The US is on the fast track to losing this war and a lot of others. This is a country in terminal decline.

I owe my entire life to piracy.

I learned all I know on pirated software, and all the jobs that I've ever held are entirely attributable to it.

Did I shaft the software vendors I pirated the software of? Absolutely. But! I'm also very well paid and I pay a lot of taxes thanks to my ill-gotten skills. So overall, I contributed to society as a whole orders of magnitude more than I stole from the individual software vendors.

Of course, I recognize that this sort of logic is self-serving and leaves the software vendors I shafted without any money. But... just sayin'. There's more than one face to this coin.

As for media - music, movies and such, I've almost never purchased any. I bought a few LPs as a kid before my parents bought me a cassette player (and more importantly, recorder). After that, I never ever paid a single dime for any media I've ever consumed. Never. And I still don't.

I make no apology for this: it's theft pure and simple. The only weak justification I can offer is that if I tried to purchase music or movies, it would be inconvenient to procure, DRM'ed, force shit I don't want to watch down my throat, like those stupid unskippable FBI warnings on DVDs, and the pirated versions of mp3s and movies are much more user-friendly and resistant to time and deprecation. But at the end of the day, I fully admit that I'm a shameless freeloader.

The only thing I pay for religiously is books. No particular reason why I respect writers more than musicians or film directors... It's just like that. I want writers to get paid.

You mean New America, surely.

Is he requesting the Nazi gold?

I’ll note that it’s illegal for ICE to deny access to congressmembers when they make these no-notice visits.

Silly bunny... ICE isn't bound by any laws or by the Constitution since Trump turned it into his private SS-like paramilitary force.

It really isn't.

If Trump really did deport tens of millions of migrants this way, like he promised he would, it would bankrupt the country. Fortunately, it's another one of his promises that will never materialize.
