A police state has unlimited resources to impose control
And of course we have the money sitting around to pay people to spend insane amount of hours digging through this kind of thing. FFS!!!

He's saying white people can't achieve a high percentile score because the better educated immigrants bust the curve.
immigrants score the lowest on tests, but they also take all our jobs, while at the same time taking all the welfare and buying all the homes
Stephen Miller: "If you subtract immigration out of test scores, all of the sudden our test scores skyrocket"

This is a pretty stunning admission, he doesn't appear to know how group insurance works. Toyota/GM don't buy insurance, employers of that size are self-funded. They pay United or Aetna for admin services, but they pay for the actual health care themselves (with some catastrophic/stop-loss coverage)
Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

I have very specific needs. Tonight the only thing that would get me in my car and on the road right now would be a plate of pierogi.
Sauerkraut in two and maybe one potato and cheese, with sour cream and fried onions. Three pierogies on a plate. That is all I ask.
Pierogies for the people!

an example of starting to believe your own bullshit. does anyone think being a drug smuggler is a "fight"? It's a business. they're so deep into this "narco-terrorist" language they're thinking these are some kind of hardened cocaine ideologues. theyre all eager to join Mar a Lago.
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Your perception has been distorted by the unreality of the internet. You think all of this is just performance, a mirage that doesn’t matter, and underneath it all things are basically normal. It’s the opposite: normality is the mirage and actual events are almost incomprehensibly abnormal.
It's actually not one of the lowest points in US history social media just has convinced you it is
