@TBrown_80 that's because all of those things were understandable and fine. Kids were already paid, as well as receiving free food, free health care, free travel, free insurance, and being treated like kings on campus. What's broken is unlimited free transfers.

@Ike_Saul I honestly can;t see any other outcome but that it will get much worse

My hot take about the next few years is that decency is going to make a comeback. I don't actually think there are many Americans left who appreciate or enjoy this era we are living through; I think the indecency has been tapped. It'll just take a decent, charismatic leader.

John Krasinsky and Chris Pratt are handed two ends of a broken pool cue at CIA headquarters, whoever emerges alive gets to play the lead in the already-in-production Iran War downed pilot rescue movie

@bonchieredstate Aggressive imbeciles. They really believe that "send your own kids to fight" is a checkmate to the argument. We have volunteers who know before they volunteer that they can go to war at any time.

Trump is 80. Barron is too tall to be accepted. We have a volunteer force. We have plenty of recruits. We don’t need 80 year olds to go fight. This talking point is something only parroted by imbeciles.

@stoney16 @BizNasty2point0 that and a total lack of guts and grit and try hard that the lions had in 23-24

@BizNasty2point0 I think we need you as an ambassador. Seriously though, there is not enough talent. Larkin, Seider DeBrincat, Raymond are very good but they don’t have any real stars. It’s mostly a lack of talent

4-1 Minny. What a pathetic 40 minutes from the Red Wings. Kirill the Thrill short side cheddar. Where grandma hides the vibrator. Are the Wings dead? Coaching change? These hoes ain’t loyal. Hire Darren McCarty.

@Martinblowhard1 @pope_capitalism @JoelWBerry ignorant rely finished by pejorative, of course. I don't have to do that because we have VOLUNTEERS ready to do it. You can insult all you like but you can't make your opinion make a single ounce of sense

@GoBlueReds @pope_capitalism @JoelWBerry Fuck you. If you’re not willing to send your family to fight for Israel then sit down.

After careful consideration I have decided to root for my own country in the war

@SonnyBunch @EsotericCD they have about ten killer songs over their career

@EsotericCD "Hot Fuss" alone had like three other genuine hit singles! And that's their best album, for sure, but they had more hit singles after that. "Mr. Brightside" is definitely their biggest hit, but "Somebody Told Me" was huge. This is a crazy take. You're crazy.

The Killers really only had that One Song, but cripes what a one song to have. youtube.com/watch?v=gGdGFt…

@pope_capitalism @JoelWBerry one of the dumber critiques there is. We have an all volunteer army, every single one of whom knows when they join that they might get sent to war any day. If we had a draft you might have a point, but you don't have any

@JoelWBerry Have you sent your son to fight yet?

@HistoryBoomer total embarrassment. I agree with some of the policies but the man is un worthy

He has a 12-year-old boy’s idea of how to be president.

@bonchieredstate all of it

The attackers were Arab Palestinians. They were arrested by...the Arab Palestinian authorities in the West Bank. If they'll lie about this, what else are they lying about?

@OctopusOctave @avidseries I listed a hypothetical in Iran, and said "if." If indeed there is a victory in Iran, I gave you not an opinion, but any objective military fact. There have already been two clear cut wins, that is indisputable, so a third would make 3. If not, then cool, I don't like him anyway

@GoBlueReds @avidseries Lmao you my friend are delusional to the next level

When you consider who Trump chose for his cabinet (e.g, crackpot RFK Jr, inept pooch-snuffing Border Barbie, towering human dumpster inferno Hegseth, 3rd-tier legal mind Bondi) and who he wanted but couldn't get (like the serial sex pest and alleged trafficker Matt Gaetz), and how hundreds of people took to my replies to defend the selection of every single one of these absurdities, it's almost impossible to not entertain the thesis of a MAGA low human capital problem.

@RealTrouble_Man conversation based on ignorance, sure

They’ll try to dismiss/discredit Theo but these are the conversations being had at the dinner table across America & there’s nothing they can do to stop it.

@RobGeorge Get Smart is one of the most unfairly ignored comedies of all time. Pure gold.

Five shows to get to know me… 1. Get Smart 2. Better Off Ted 3. Person of Interest 4. In Living Color 5. Star Trek (TOS)

@scapel63acr @VodkaPundit @upstatefederlst @alexthechick 1000%. Same for Linda Hamilton in T2. No issues there either.

@VodkaPundit @upstatefederlst @alexthechick I saw Alien in 1979. We did not think it was odd for a female lead. We soldiers all knew tough women. The difference is that they did things that were reasonable for an athletic women. Today's movies have 100lb 5'4'' women beating the crap out of NFL linebackers. Not possible.

Terminator 2 would never be made today because Sarah's primary identity is being a mother and her primary motivation is protecting her son.

@HistoryBoomer Who ever said there wasn't a market for woke? Plenty of women and gays out there

Bridgerton is super woke and super popular. Deal with it, haters.

@avidseries @lhfang Meh, true sometimes but with regard to Iran, most of the things people call lies they actually have no idea are.

@lhfang Where does one even start though? Every time Trump opens his mouth, he lies.

Every day we get a new demonstrable lie about the Iran war from Trump, the Pentagon, cable news and Israeli gov accounts. It is exponentially worse than the expert class lying during COVID or 2020 race hysteria but this type of gov deception gets a pass from heterodox pundits.

@grothenburger91 @ConceptualJames That's 100% NOT what they are doing at all. If that was all, people might criticize or agree with the view and move on. Tucker literally said we could learn from sharia law. He says Russia is in better shape socially and culturally than the US. Etc etc

@ConceptualJames I really loved your work on the fake papers about trans pets, etc. But you're way over intellectualizing this stuff. We just don't want wars. We want to stop funding Israel. And we want their lobbies registered under FARA and for our supposed leaders to actually put America first

What you see almost endlessly from Tucker Carlson, "Comic" Dave Smith, Theo Von, etc., and the rest of the blackpillers amounts to a Critical America Theory. I'm not making this up. I'm explaining. Critical Theory was developed by neo-Marxist Max Horkheimer of the Frankfurt School in 1937. In an interview in 1969, Horkheimer explained what the Critical Theory is. He said (closely paraphrasing): "I developed the Critical Theory because we [Western neo-Marxists] realized we cannot articulate the good or ideal society on the terms of the existing society. What we can do is criticize those aspects of the existing society that we wish to change." In other words, a Critical Theory believes everything is so captured and corrupted by power and those who benefit from systems of power that it isn't even possible to talk about a better situation in clear terms. All that's available is criticism of why the system/society isn't better than it is. This activity has come to be known as identifying or "making visible" the various "problematics" in the existing system. A Critical Theory OF SOMETHING would focus this general mode of engagement into a particular domain. For example, a Critical Theory of Race in America would believe that racism is so endemic to a society and embedded within its systems to the benefit of whites that we cannot articulate a true "antiracist" vision on the terms available to us. All we could do is identify where "racism" manifests and criticize it for being there. We call that program "Critical Race Theory" because it is a Critical Theory of Race. What it does in practice is (1) identifies "hidden racism" in everything (criticizing those elements of the existing (racial) system they wish to change), called "identifying problematics"; (2) induces more people to think this way; nothing else. What a Critical America Theory would look like is not being able to articulate what a good or ideal America would look like on the terms of the existing America but criticizing those elements of America as it exists that we wish to change. That is, it would look for everything America isn't doing perfectly according to some ideal standard that doesn't exist, probably cannot exist, and cannot even be articulated and "make those problematics visible" in the hopes of changing the system. Leftists, including the whole of Critical Race Theory, do this endlessly. From Derrick Bell's (founder of CRT) 1970 book, Race, Racism, and American Law, forward, it is a relentless racial Critical America Theory. That's why it exported poorly and often hilariously to other countries that don't have the same law or racial history. Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States (1980) is another example, a very naked example, of a work of Critical America Theory. Specifically, this book goes through every chapter of American history, from pre-founding (Christopher Columbus) to the present (1980 at the time) and catalogues how America cheated "the people," mainly workers, indigenous, racial minorities, and women (the intersectional coalition). What I'm telling you is that the blackpillers of Podcastistan and X, etc., very notably including Tucker Carlson, are doing a socially conservative variation on Critical America Theory. Whether Carlson or "Auron MacIntyre" (nhrn) from The Blaze, the undertone of every message is plainly "you don't hate your (real) country enough" as compared against an imaginary ideal that doesn't, can't, and won't ever exist. The Blackpill Comics all do the same thing, relentlessly identifying "problematics" and alleged hidden systems of control that delegitimize the country as it actually is against a standard that isn't even real. The thing is, Critical America Theory is a Critical Theory of America. That is, it is a Critical Theory. That is, when you participate in this slop, you are taking on a critical consciousness about America. Having a critical consciousness is being WOKE, by definition (of Woke). This slop is Woke. When this Critical America Theory slop takes on a socially Leftist slant, we call it Woke Left (or just Woke). When this Critical America Theory slop takes on a socially conservative or Rightist slant, we call it Woke Right (which is just Woke too). They are both Woke. They are both toxic. They are both false enlightenment into a kind of terrible darkness, entitlement, malice, despair, hatred, and failure. Reject Critical America Theory. Love your country. It's great, and it's worth it.

@FreshMortadella @AlexBerenson oh if you mean killing most of the soldiers and leaders of a poisonous medieval regime that kills their own citizens for protesting and funds murder all over the work, yeah, the Gaza analogy works. If you're referring to the brain dead lie of so called genocide, then nope

@AlexBerenson The aim is the Gazafication of Iran. A moral stain on our nation.

I’m an Iran hawk, which is why I can’t stand how the old man has gone about this. War isn’t a video game, and going into it without even explaining to Congress, the public, or our allies our basic goals and plans is a prescription for disaster. And now disaster has come

@bonchieredstate probably already starred on a Candace show

The level of cooked conspiracy brain one has to have to believe that vaccines have a 36% death rate within a year, and somehow it's all been covered up and only this guy knows about it, is beyond comprehension. I get it. The government isn't trustworthy, but use common sense.
