    Trump Investigations Thread

    One sign that would convince me that Trump is actually serious about draining the Swamp if he gets back on the Presidential Porcelain Throne? If he appoints Ron Paul as Treasury Secretary with full authorization to End The Federal Reserve. Defanging the Fed would force the Congress to actually...

    The Coming Far Right Backlash

    History, English, Mathematics. I went to a high school in the main city of a rural county in Washington state and was taking 'college track' courses. Which meant I actually had to take math past algebra and geometry (even the 'trades track' had to take those since the blue collar world...

    Trump Investigations Thread

    The political elites think if they jail Trump that will 'discredit' him with his supporters. What the Swamp doesn't realize is that Trump's supporters knew all along that he very probably wouldn't be able to keep his promises. That wasn't why his supporters go so gung-ho for Trump. They...

    The Coming Far Right Backlash

    At this point, with the continuing failure of the education system (lots of reasons for the growing imbecility of the US in particular stem from the cliff of declining standards, ie, what were my high school textbooks of the 1990s are advanced college texts today and those were considered to be...

    "Woke" Franchises

    I have a theory that the increasingly strident and violent tendencies currently emerging in the 'Wokeness' and Alphabet Acronym activists is being stoked to be the conflict/distraction dujour by the banking/governing elites against the governed. As the debt based monetary system continues to...

    "Woke" Franchises

    We need to start calling out evil as evil to its face, because that is what is behind post-modern 'woke' movement. Old fashioned whiff of sulfur about it Evil. Because big money backs it to the hilt. That is why writers and creators should only retain copyright until they die, because all...

    Why was Europe, and Britain in particular, so relatively "chill" about the ascension of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte to power?

    It helped that Napoleon III came to power after the revolutions of 1830 and 1848. So since the last time a Napoleon was in charge of France, there had been two Bourbon kings (one deathly ill and elderly and his successor a spendthrift incompetent), a third Bourbon who had modest success only to...

    "Woke" Franchises

    As for liberating intellectual IP? There's no way to raise enough money, because some deep pockets private equity firms can out raise the hoi polloi. Remember these firms tend to be in the hands of the families that own the banks that own the various central banks of the world. The more...

    "Woke" Franchises

    Look not for salvation or even salvaging from the Big Media companies, the convergence is complete and they only want to increase their ESG scores. Because the woketivists spewing this garbage are destroying what we use to enjoy are getting rewarded for it. Not from us the consuming public...

    "Woke" Franchises

    My personal theory as to the sheer vitriol of wokeness in the franchises is due to a hatred of the Good, the Beautiful and the True. This impulse to destroy stories that either portrayed or hell, even just mentioned virtue as a concept, can be explained by taking a look at the proponents of...

    Personally I would assume a good part of it consisted of some woke zealots from SV, since they are heavily pushing that culture at SB now.

    Warhammer Warhammer General discussion thread: Now with 100% more Space Marines

    Well, the Toxic Soup I remember facing with considerable dismay consisted of IIRC at least 8 max units of Imperial Guard with max heavy weapons teams and commissars, then added Saint Celestine and her entourage for additional command point generation, a unit of 3 Leman Russ tanks, plus three...

    Warhammer Warhammer General discussion thread: Now with 100% more Space Marines

    Besides the fact that the AsMil is a part of making SuperSoup and all those Command Point generators make the AsMil shooting phase be that turn one or two erasure of the enemy army? They can almost out gunline a Tau army at this point.
