platner was working for eric prince as recently as 2018.
during that same time they were also working w/project veritas on infiltrating liberal institutions
“grown in a lab” theory looking more and more likely

will there be any followup to this fascinating story by the president of the united states that a friend of his sent him a check for $130 million dollars and the president is going to give the money to the military because i for one am fascinated about the details tbh
Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

It's very clear that unlimited wealth causes brain damage. That's not an exaggeration.
It's similar to other unnatural human conditions like solitary confinement (which is widely understood to cause mental deterioration) and other types of sensory deprivation.

Centrism is a hell of a take these days.
We aren't talking about "How should we split this tax revenue between infrastructure and services" anymore, we're talking about "Should this class of people have less rights and privileges than this other class of people."

An element of fascism is a kind of upside down where the meanest, most rapacious, and least virtuous of society are loosed to bully and abuse people who genuinely uphold civic ideals of service and sacrifice.
Public service isn’t what the system is about. It’s about conditioning the national body.

Something that gives me some small comfort today is the number of Nazi party members that killed themselves at the end of the war (and continually thereafter) because they couldn't carry the burden of their antisocial thoughts and actions even when they escaped justice.

A recent large deportation flight to Southeast Asia likely cost around $1.5 million to operate, to give you some sense of how expensive these are.
of about 55 hours. At a reported cost per hour of $28k the cost will be conservatively over $1.5 mill in operating costs to deport slightly over 100 people based on unofficial reports. But we can’t afford SNAP.

and to be clear, i was very clear in asking "can i use stripe for purchases of LGBT content" and both times, different operators have told me that Stripe does not support such transactions
