Please take them. Please, please, please take them all.

What they don't know is that they'll immediately be sent to Ukraine. One-way ticket probably.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has seemingly invited conservatives chafing under "neoliberal ideals" in their home countries to move to Russia, where he claimed "traditional values reign supreme," and Alex Jones suggested he might take him up on the offer.

The Russian president signed a decree offering assistance to foreigners seeking temporary residence in his country and expanding the quota approved by the nation's government and setting aside a requirement for knowing the Russian language, history and basic laws, and Jones urged his followers to consider sanctuary there.

Trump told CNN he believes Vice President Kamala Harris will be easier to beat.

I want to see a debate between a felon and a former prosecutor. If she keeps referring to him as such, he'll lose his shit. His derangement will know no bounds.

“It was never our intent that the publication of the 2000 Mules film and book would harm Mr. Andrews,” Salem said in a Friday statement.

BS. It was exactly your intent to harm him and put the fear of the mob into anyone who stood up for the truth.

In his Truth Social tirade, Mr Trump slammed the August 2022 at his Florida home and private club.

“WOW! I just came out of the Biden Witch Hunt Trial in Manhattan, the ‘Icebox,’ and was shown Reports that Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, in their Illegal and UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE.

You give your top talent what they want. The problem is that they hired a consultant to find out what that was. The consultant, knowing on which side his bread was buttered, told the board what they wanted to hear, which is, after all, why they hired a consultant instead of just asking.

Looks like a good reason to reject the bond in its entirety. It's obviously a bad faith attempt to get around the rules.

The great replacement is real, though. Whites have been replacing the indigenous people for centuries.

There was a discussion a couple of years ago around gasoline taxes and how they are supposed to pay for roadway maintenance. The question came up about EVs. There were discussions about how to include EVs in the taxation system so they would pay for their fair share of the road. One of the options was to impose a tax attached to your vehicle registration based upon the weight of the vehicle. The greater the weight, the more wear and tear it produces on the road surface. This might be one solution to the barrier problem, namely moving the extra cost to the reason for the extra cost.

It's worse than that. I'm bi, and I won't have anything to do with male or female trump supporters.

I don't know if it's just me, but I seem to have noticed a rise in interest in poly arrangements lately. I wonder if there's any kind of connection there.

RAPED, not "have sex with". A 29yo does not "have sex with" a 14yo. They RAPE or MOLEST them.

In 1995, Musk and his brother, Kimbal, started Zip2, a web software company, with US$28,000 of their father's (Errol Musk) money

Tesla Motors was incorporated in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, who financed the company until the Series A round of funding. Both men played active roles in the company's early development prior to Elon Musk's involvement.

Responding to a screenshot of a CNN headline that read, “2% of Elon Musk’s wealth could help solve world hunger, says director of UN food scarcity organization,” Musk tweeted that if the U.N. World Food Program “can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it.”

WFP director David Beasley called his bluff, and actually outlined how the organization would use the $6.6 billion. Musk, who is worth approximately $239.2 billion, never responded to Beasley.
