American Politics 4.0 - Orangeyou Glad He’s Back?

[puffnstuff]

Just a nationwide military quick reaction force...nothing to see here...no Epstein files around for sure...

Yesterdays EO
The D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force established in Executive Order 14252 of March 27, 2025 (Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful), shall establish an online portal for Americans with law enforcement or other relevant backgrounds and experience to apply to join Federal law enforcement entities to support the policy goals described in Executive Order 14333. Each law enforcement agency that is a member of the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force, as well as other relevant components of the Department of Justice as the Attorney General determines, shall further, subject to the availability of appropriations and applicable law, immediately create and begin training, manning, hiring, and equipping a specialized unit that is dedicated to ensuring public safety and order in the Nation’s capital that can be deployed whenever the circumstances necessitate, and that could be deployed, subject to applicable law, in other cities where public safety and order has been lost.
(
(ii) The Secretary of Defense shall immediately begin ensuring that each State’s Army National Guard and Air National Guard are resourced, trained, organized, and available to assist Federal, State, and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety and order whenever the circumstances necessitate, as appropriate under law. In coordination with the respective adjutants general, the Secretary of Defense shall designate an appropriate number of each State’s trained National Guard members to be reasonably available for rapid mobilization for such purposes. In addition, the Secretary of Defense shall ensure the availability of a standing National Guard quick reaction force that shall be resourced, trained, and available for rapid nationwide deployment.

And why does he weirdly jam the word beautiful into so many things?

I mean why even try distracting from the Epstein files? Every non-cult person knows he's already in it and that he was a kid diddler. This was known in the 90s and 00s.

The cult is so loyal that even if there was absolute 100% irrefutable concrete evidence he raped and abused girls, they will not waver and will continue to support him.

They are absolutely committed to him personally. NO MATTER WHAT.

Just take a boo at r/conservative.

I follow this stuff pretty closely, and I can’t think of a single hedge fund, investment bank, or any other source I would consider reputable that has called for an imminent catastrophic implosion. In fact, virtually every investment firm/bank has recently raised their end of year targets for the market.

The question remains, though, if we’re on the verge of collapse, what does that mean? Two weeks, two months, two years? Although I wouldn’t call two years ‘on the verge’. And what is catastrophic implosion? 40%? 50%?

On the verge of catastrophic implosion is something I’d expect to see in the YouTube comment section.

I'd agree that AI's downfall is being sensationalized. Like any other new technology, there will be bumps and roadblocks as it matures. I wouldn't bet against AI.

The biggest reason to not bet against AI is that it appeals to the stupidest people alive and they've embraced it wholeheartedly.

[kermitology]

AI as a tech is definitely going to continue, but the multi-billion dollar investments are the thing that is going to pop. The returns aren't coming, LLM performance is stagnating, GPT-5 was a flop.

I bet there are a lot of MAGAs that are secretly hoping the Epstein stuff is true. They'll just use it as an excuse to lower the age of consent to 12 (or get rid of consent altogether). In their eyes, Trump is infallible and sets the standard for acceptable conduct.

[Barnet Flame]

There's a standard for acceptable conduct?

When I started typing that out, I meant it as a flippant comment. In the short time it took me, I came to the realisation that I don't think there are standards any longer. At least not in the USA or amongst Maple Maga and their equivalent here in the UK.

He literally just has to say something stupid like, “it was a different time then” and his followers will all nod in agreement and forget about it.

I've said it before and I will say it again.

Trump could rape his underage supporters daughters and they'd just jerk off to it.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Considering the end game is a Christian Theocracy, yeah I would imagine child rape is something a majority of them support and want to see a return to lower, or even no, age of consent.

Yeah. Interesting that a New Testament ‘religion’ wants to live according to the Old Testament.

[CroFlames]

Agreed, and so that's why I wonder about all the consternation about the Epstein files. Released or not, we know he's in them. Released or not, nothing will change.

[Maritime Q-Scout]

As much as you might think MAGA being ok with Epstien is close... I honestly don't think we're far off of Trump being able to ban firearms and MAGA being ok with it.

We're not quite there yet, but we're closer than you think.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Won't be an outright ban, just white Christians will be the only ones allowed to have them.

SD Senate voted to maintain child marriage (Feb 2025)

Many kings in the Bible had hundreds of concubines and took virgin brides.

Especially in the King Donald version of the Bible.
