He (they) think it works; they think they’re moving the ball down the field.

What they don’t get is that they just look like lunatics. Some of them, like Bill Maher, know it’s the opposite: it’s a death knell.


Maher is old. He's always been a liberal, not a leftist. A rabid one. He's possibly right about 2028. But 2032? And beyond? Boomers are only getting older...

Young people are almost always liberal . Then when they get jobs, families and responsibilities they wise up and become more conservative. One good thing different now is the low T Liberal Men are turning young men more Conservative at a younger age.

The age of internet anonymity is over. Australia is about to make age verification mandatory to use the internet. That means that in order to search with Google you have to show your ID. VPNs are not allowed. Get caught using one you go to jail.

This sort of thing is going on all over the world right now with Europe deploying a similar system in the coming months. Everything you post, search, watch, download, buy, or sell is tracked by .gov databases. We used to make fun of China for this sort of thing.


There are seven main methods listed in the new regulations:
  • Photo ID checks
  • Face scanning age estimation tools
  • Credit card checks
  • Digital ID
  • Vouching by the parent of a young person
  • Using AI to guess a user's age based on the data the company already has
  • Relying on a third party that has already checked the user's age

Hey, I've been saying we're not near WW3 for three years while others were saying we are. Check out Ukraine thread. Now, for the first time since I don't know when, we've moved nuclear war assets close to an enemy (Yes, enemy.). How is that not nearing WW3 more so than before now?

Keep living in your Trump MAGA wish-it-were-true bubble vs. reality. IDGAS. I'm sticking with reality.

Oh yes, I largely support Trump's 2nd term actions. You are apparently having a problem with this.
Wow. For the past three years, you have blamed everything on Putin. Now, you act like WW3 is a threat because of Trump. See the causation problem there, Elaine?

Yep. Because in the past few years leftists have proclaimed:

Liking hot women is right wing

Working out is right wing

Eating red meat is right wing

At least you're aware of how partisan you are. Openly state you give your guy the benefit of the doubt while not doing so for the other team. How about just treating everyone the same and looking wherever the facts lead you?
The other team has now been revealed to have planted the Russian collusion. They lied about the laptop. Lied about Biden’s competence, lied about Covid origins.

And you think the people who did this should get the benefit of the doubt, and NOT be assumed to be lying all the time?

Wake your *** up, Karl.

Is Fox trying to insinuate that it's ok because the N word was shouted? Sure seems like it. Also they literally censor it. Who said it? And if it was the hard R...that still doesn't mean it was ok to do what they did


Why sure. If something makes you mad enough, you can nearly kill someone over it.

See if that works for white people.

oh, it won’t? That’s how you know we have a multi-tier system of justice based on race. This is wokism at its very core.

Key Media Coverage on Congressional FBI Files

1. The New Yorker — “Did the Feds Break the Law?” (July 1996)

This investigative article explored the legal fallout of the FBI providing sensitive background files to the Clinton White House without individual consent. It highlighted that many records—including those of congressional interns and staff—were included in the improper disclosure, and raised legal concerns under the Privacy Act of 1974

2. The Washington Post and The New York Times (June–September 1996)

Press accounts and congressional hearing summaries made clear that the White House had obtained as many as 400–900 FBI files, and some of those files pertained to congressional figures or their staff. Committee reports and media articles noted that Republican lawmakers discovered these files while probing both Travelgate and Filegate
