In terms of investment the EU has realised it has to stop having infrastructure tied in with American companies, that will be permanent but its going to take about 5-10 years

Allow me to suggest moving faster than that.

Weapons and defence already started and will increase every year, what i mean is:
All energy, water, electrical, medical etc have quietly been told no more azure, google cloud or AWS. We got a consultation and it was "when can you have extracted non eu services"

I suspect the more innertia or pushback businesses provide, the more aggressive the eu level legislation on this stuff will be.

They dont just want defence independence, they want everything down to Mastercard out of Europe within a decade

Wise.

An RFP for a Made-in-Canada drone communications system has crossed my desk, and although there's no NDA, it's obviously intended as a proof-of-concept for military use.  Somebody in the chain of procurement has been spooked by something.

Movement away from the American sphere is in progress everywhere, both overt and otherwise.  How tangled up we still are when the Anschluss commences, remains to be seen.

I don't yet believe an Anschluss is inevitable, but I'm a hopelessly naive optimist.

An Anschluss implies at least the appearance of a referendum.  That's not going to happen.

Also, and trust me on this, you can't build weapons fast enough.

But it is also worth mentioning that frontage equations require 81 infantry divisions to MINIMALLY garrison Canada.  We have 12.

That all sounds like you are assuming Bill wasn't availing of the services on pedo island

If anyone was, he was.

Things that got said at work today:

Billy:  "Maybe he wasn't walking on water.  Maybe he was just standing on a whale."

Lauren:  "I'm not judging you, boss.  I am just asking HOW you headbang to Taylor Swift's Ophelia.*

Hamish:  "I have 99 problems.  And each of those problems has 99 sub-problems.  And all of THOSE have 99 sub-problems."  It's sub-problems all the way down."



* She was in fact judging me.  I could see it in her eyes.

Yeah its grim that american politics is playing out in tweets.

Not as grim as foreign policy playing out on Truth Social.   

[if]

It has permanently damaged the US reputation worldwide, you are not seen as an ally or partner any more  just a vague threat and the EU is making active moves to remove all US IT infrastructure from businesses and utilities

BEST case, this damage lasts a generation or two.  And that's if we start flying right and STAY flying right consistently.

We get another MAGA in office and I will agree that the damage will be permanent.

However, accelerationists who can not bring themselves to vote for someone who is clearly the lesser of two evils lack the pragmatism required to make right, but unpleasant choices. I believe it's misplaced optimism to count on them to save anyone, including themselves, from anything.

This.

This is what I was just saying.

[The Democrat James Carville thinks is worth watching in 2028 will surprise you]

November 7th, 2028 is  a long way off, and a lot is going to happen between now and the U.S. Presidential Election. But, at the time of this posting, I think James Carville knows what he's talking about:

The Democrat James Carville thinks is worth watching in 2028 will surprise you

"Carville says Kamala Harris 'has no chance' in 2028 Democratic primary"

As per this article:

"Asked about whether he could see Harris as the party's standard-bearer in 2028, Carville responded, "She has no chance."

Harris replaced then-President Joe Biden as the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee after Biden dropped his bid in July of that year, a month after a disastrous debate performance against Trump. Harris ended up losing the general election to Trump, who narrowly swept all seven key battleground states.

"No Democrat wants anything to do with anybody that had anything to do with 2024," Carville emphasized, as he reasoned why Harris couldn't win the 2028 nomination. He also questioned whether Harris, the nation's first female and first Black vice president, had the ability to energize the Black community if she launched another White House run.

Carville said that the Democrats' mantra heading into 2028 is "just win," and argued that "if we nominate two white males, nobody's going to give a s---.""

And, I couldn't agree more.

The candidate's race and gender matter a lot less than their positions.  If we nominate Newsom and Buttigeig they'll repeat Harris' losing strategy of attempting to pursue GOP voters while ignoring progressives and the left.  At this point a candidate that campaigns on cutting off Israel, and dismantling ICE can win, one that supports genocide and retaining the American Gestapo isn't going to be able to out fascist Vance, or whoever the GOP puts up, but they will be able to alienate a huge portion of their base.

My preference would be for a working class patriot who wants to take down the pedophiles and the system that enabled their predation.  I haven't seen a candidate like that yet, but I'm sure there are some out there.  I know that would resonate with not only the left, and the mainstream Democrats, but also QAnon types and a lot of the folks who voted for Sanders and Trump, or Trump and Mamdani.

Mind you, it's an easy mistake to make.  The stay-at-home lefties are worthless.  They're not going to shift their arses to vote under any circumstances because nobody can be good enough for them.

They have failed to realize that voting is a strategy, not a marriage proposal.

So if you have to ignore someone - and let's be realistic, you do - you ignore the people who are too busy clutching their pearls to fill out a ballot.

Being black and Asian American is dismissing the fact that she represented "more of the same" an outsider would have had better odds

How has that "outsider" thing been working so far?   

I think I've had enough of outsiders.  The whole outsider thing is playing right into the dumbass fallacy that "Everyone else's job looks easy," and while it might help get elected, you wind up with shit like we have right now, at this moment.  Alongside shit like DOGE. 

Watching the administration having to rehire 80% of the people they fired has been nothing short of hilarious, especially since only half of the people came back.

Now I agree with cutting the deadwood (Schumer, Jeffries, etc), deciding that we need some dumb fucking dark horse populist will at best change the brand of the dumbassery.  Which accomplishes nothing at all.

If it were up to me, we'd run Mark Kelly for president and either Buttigig or AOC as VP.  I don't particularly like Mayor Pete on account of selling out his demographic for a chicken sandwich, but he would be an effective VP candidate.

Had one of those candy-gram charity things at work.

Bought one for each of my employees.

Billy:  "Thank you for being so adequate."
Lauren:  "Whatever is wrong with you works."
pRick:  "You bring premium mediocrity to the workplace."
Mike:  "Shit, I forgot you don't work here anymore."
John:  "If this team was an ocean, you'd be the bicycle."
Maggie:  "Thank you for lowering the bar."
Jose:  "Thank you for keeping the 1970s alive."
The Other One:  "What was your name again?"

And one to my boss:

"Give me some more money you bastard."

The biggest threats you should be paying attention to are not book bans, the Epstein files, or ICE intimidation tactics.

In November, a video circulated reminding members of the armed services that they must not follow illegal orders, and that they are legally obligated to refuse them under long-established precedent.

Trump responded with a meltdown. He called for hangings, branded them traitors, and demanded imprisonment.

The armed services are the government's license to enforce authority. They are not his. They are yours. They belong to the people.

Showing outrage at a military refusing the whims of a ruler, and I mean "dictator" in the textbook sense of unchecked authority, signals an intent to use that force outside the law and against the people themselves.

That is a direct challenge to the presidency as a representative office. It is the language of a ruler, not an elected servant. Your own Caesar moment.

He can pull other levers of government and flood the field with distractions, but if the authority of the people is challenged this way again, it must be shut down immediately and without ambiguity. This is not acceptable.

There is nothing wrong right now that can't be fixed with shipping containers.  My patented two step process.

But the problem is that America isn't serious about having a good time.

Does anyone still believe you're voting your way out of this shit show in the Midterms when Dems in the House have just voted again to continue ICE funding?

Nope.  We're fucked.

 

The bloated one is back, and worse than ever.

We're about to invade Greenland.  Fucking Greenland.  And Trump is going to put Stephen Miller in charge of Venezuela.

Where are the Discordians now?

 

 

I used to think this guy was ok...like Dave Letterman.
But then he started pushing his "Vax-Scene" which I originally thought was a mock.
BUT he was triple-dosed with the Clot-Shot. So obviously he was supporting it...in a "fun" way.
Supporting a fake vaccine that kills humans = ++ungood

I hereby revoke his status within Discordia.
Hail Eris...

Shut the fuck up, plague rat.
