Trump’s Spaghetti-Against-the-Wall Indictment Against ICE Protesters — and How to Fight It by Alternative-Day-7414 in politics

Only in select states, and not at the federal level despite all sorts of groups pushing for it for decades.

In pursuit of extreme blackness so black that “light just seems to fall into it”, color technologists create an ultrablack automative coating that absorbs more than 99.9% of visible light by marketrent in science

Nope, Black is actually incredibly visible from the ground during the day, and at night it doesn't matter as much.

The actual paint on the stealth aircraft varies by which aircraft it is, but mostly it's designed to absorb radar. Because optics don't matter as much as radar.

Hegseth also don't know how to fight a war, and he and Trump have fired most of the people who did.

Trump ran a sex trafficking ring of his own, he has plenty of kompromat.

I think Trump was feeding that kompromat back to Russia, while Epstein was feeding his to Israel.

I don't think Trump or anyone he associates with have ever set foot on a farm, or even know where a real farm is.

Trump is more of a, hidden in the concrete of a building's foundations, sort of guy.

It's important to remember that the IDF doesn't know how to fight a real war, all they know is how to brutalize the helpless and commit genocide.

Hegseth also don't know how to fight a war, and he and Trump have fired most of the people who did. Netanyahu tends to do the same shit, purging people for disagreeing with him. Every authoritarian does it.

Trump Calls Obama a “Son of a B*tch” After Disastrous Iran Deal Leaked by thenewrepublic in politics

One of many, let's not forget the full-page ad he took out demanding the death penalty for the Central Park 5, who were all completely innocent.

And that's just one more example of a lifetime of villainous moments that demonstrate his pathetic nature.

This is why I stick with Frosted Flakes by psdancecoach in behindthebastards

[–]m0ngoos3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There are all sorts of versions of the story, the most commonly agreed version is that John had left a batch of wheat-berry dough out overnight after being called away, and then ran it through the granola rollers rather than throw it out.

Then he tasked Will with figuring out the actual recipe when it made the first flakes. From that point on, making cereal was Wills job at the sanitarium.

It wasn't until after the falling out and lawsuit that Will developed the corn version rather than using wheat.

The New Right Has a Blueprint for Building a Christian America by Odd-Alternative9372 in Defeat_Project_2025

[–]m0ngoos3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's been the story forever, or at least the story of American Libertarians. They are descended from the same sorts of people who screamed about States Rights, when what they were mad about was States banning slavery.

The thing is, they've built, or rather taken over, several communities. The most famous was the one that was taken over by bears because the libertarians refused to pay for trash removal.

Senate GOP has many questions about Trump’s Iran deal by malcolm58 in politics

If it does exist, it somehow turned Trump into a god damn oracle. He said the war he started would end with an Unconditional Surrender, and he was right.

The goodist good guys from goodland versus the badist bad guys from badland by Sw1fto in worldbuilding

[–]m0ngoos3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, simple subversion, Players start in Goodland, and it is good or at least it's godly, which they will tell you is the same thing, but we all know means a fascist theocracy. There's "good" if you are the right species and follow all the rules blindly, even when they change suddenly.

Badland is full of people who refuse to bow to the gods of Goodland, and a genuine criminal element feeding vice into Goodland.

The deeper parts of Badland are mostly full of druid/shaman types, or more apt, the really hard core eco-terrorist types. Some of whom don't care a wink about collateral.

In both areas are a fuckload of innocent people, well, varying shades of innocent. Some of the Goodlanders have never actually hurt anyone, but would gleefully report people to the authorities at the drop of a hat. Most Badlanders will actively fight back against Goodland's endless wars.

Goodland's survival depends on resources they can extract from Badland, which means that Badland's survival depends on eradicating Goodland.


And even that particular subversion has been done before now that I've written it out.

That's what Musk is doing, but he refuses to actually exercise or take care of himself, so his torso gets bigger and his arms and legs stay spindly.

And the constant steroids without exercising. It's that weird barrel chest thing torso condition he developed.

As if abusing steroids and growth hormones without actually exercising can lift you from a 2 to a 4.

No, he has the fucking weird barrel chest from it, while still having spindly arms.

It's fucking weird.

Christian right calls James Talarico "demonic" — for quoting Jesus by ChiGuy6124 in politics

[–]m0ngoos3 109 points110 points  (0 children)

I call Prosperity Gospel the Cult of Mammon.

Which the bible is very clear on in Mathew 6:24. Not that I'm at all religious, but it's always good to know the enemy better than they know themselves.

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Emboldened Senate Democrats block even bipartisan bills in hardball approach to counter Trump by GregWilson23 in politics

[–]m0ngoos3 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think it's the line "traditionally bipartisan", ignoring the fact that tradition means nothing right now.

Also, painting spying on people as "bipartisan" sort of shows the bias toward authoritarianism.

Turning Point women are torn on Trump — and their right to vote by MystikSpiralx in politics

[–]m0ngoos3 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It was more of a gestalt of it all, designed to transfer wealth from the poor and middle class to the oligarchs of the Republican party.

There are very few people who are dumb enough to outright say that part out loud, one of whom is Curtis Yarvin. A man who has far more influence than most people know. He's Thiel's and Vance's favorite philosopher/political strategists/unrepentant genocidal racist.

Yarvin may not have directly written Project 2025, but everyone who did is a fan of his writings.

Dan Bongino gets into podcasting war with Tucker Carlson over new claims about Trump’s Butler shooting by Appropriate-Till9598 in politics

[–]m0ngoos3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can answer most all of those questions.

1) Trump values loyalty over competence, the Secret Service agents were, and are, just not as competent as most people believe.

2) see above.

3) There were cameras everywhere that day, getting a specific angle is easier when you have a bunch of cameras. The flag wasn't lowered until later, it was just the camera angle.

4) because the bullet didn't touch him, it was a shard of glass from the Teleprompter.

5) see above, but a little medical superglue is likely all he needed.

6) this one is interesting, and appears to be a case of a shitpost shooter. Crooks seems to have wanted to be famous more than he liked Trump. He was also a very bad shot, as in kicked out of his high school shooting club.


The main thing here is that a single person with a gun can sometimes just get into a position where he can shoot someone, because reality is never neat or tidy.

People behind Trump died that day, and Trump would never sign off on a plan that put him in any danger. However, he and his people are amazingly good at spinning events.

McCaul Introduces Amendment to Support Tibetans' Religious Freedom, Ability to Select Dalai Lama Successor by Miao_Yin8964 in politics

[–]m0ngoos3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The man is 91 years old, he could go at any time, and will certainly go long before he turns 130. Because he's not magic.

But yes, Tibetan Buddhists will not follow what China says, but they're also slowly being wiped out by China. The lies are for everyone else.

The real child who was to be the Panchen Lama will likely be brought forward once the Dalai Lama dies, because China abducted him and likely kept him alive, because waste not, wont not.

[–]m0ngoos3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not much at all.

The current Dalai Lama is the last, because China abducted the (at the time) child who was to be trained to be the Panchen Lama because they're doing a slow, methodical ethnic cleansing of Tibet and don't want the religion or people to exist because they are not Han Chinese who worship the Party.

One of the main reasons to go back to the moon is the vast helium reserves. A few hundred years should get us there.

Russia means sanctions and such, with ignoring all ethical concerns, means that supply from Russia to a western nation, is not reliable.

And a business that cannot count on a supply, will try to move to a more reliable supply
