The first version was relying on a bad support apparatus and was generally a buggy launch. Version 2.0 is a much faster version that doesn't seem to be using as much old, legacy architecture. He also seems to not be making as many bone headed statements. Much better message discipline. His recent Gaza statements seem to be the exception. I still wonder what he is thinking with that one.

Stargrunt6 Posted February 8 Posted February 8 The L on the Hollywood sign isn't big enough to model what the DNC has gone through. If they were smart they would hard reset and rebrand or schism.

Lapham: Books what might be the most disturbing out of all of this is that trump might be a gifted sociopath and understands all of that that on such an intuitive and natural level that it comes naturally to him- he would experience low stress and anxiety in these kinds of situations where everyone else is caught off guard and do not know how to read or handle these situations; high level students of daoism also understand these improv concepts but usually without the motivation to actually seek gains or game anyone- other than to enjoy the improv act in and of itself and get good at it which is not only its own reward but is good practice for life's uncertain wrinkles there are several materials already written on why careers in politics, acting, news media, law enforcement and legal services are attractive to people who score higher on sociopathic traits- if there is such a thing here is kamala harris for example actually breaking character and donning different personas depending on her audience - pure manipulation albeit in a different style than trump's you saw obama do it, the clintons, george bush jr, biden etc
Sinistar Posted February 8 Posted February 8 (edited) when you look at human society it is all one big put on mass media facilitates it in such a way where public perceptions and opinions are literally manufactured and manipulated by these conscious decisions by CBS or NBC or whatever the corporate mainstream media has shown itself to be little more than tabloid mixed with careful chosen images and scenes which are designed to manipulate public ideas any film director understands that entirely stanley kubric was a known perfectionist- always looking for the perfect camera angles, scene arrangements, score, subtle placement of props and characters to achieve subconscious effects in the mind of the audience but broadcast media which is supposed to be trusted with the public welfare has been getting away with behaving the way it has for so long take a look for example when television was new and producers and writers were figuring this stuff out early commercials were minimal and they kind of sold the product on its merits or as much could be done in under 30 seconds in the modern era the ad has all kinds of manipulative and suggestive theme music, maybe animations and performing cartoons and graphics overlays, the product is almost secondary- the medium itself is what is enticing viewers much in a similar way the music industry produces music which is mixed and engineered in the studio and hence why recorded music does not sound like the live performance because it is so over produced the news media has shown itself to consciously and deliberately alter stories or omit them entirely beyond superficial edits for time and clarity like CBS claims hence why there has been a large audience migration to independent broadcasters and content creators because the corporate media cannot be trusted Edited February 8 by Sinistar
urbanoid Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Unfathomably based https://nypost.com/2025/02/07/us-news/trump-orders-freeze-of-aid-to-south-africa-citing-countrys-land-expropriation-law/ Quote President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday formalizing his announcement earlier this week that he’ll freeze assistance to South Africa for a law aiming to address some of the wrongs of South Africa’s racist apartheid era — a law the White House says amounts to discrimination against the country’s white minority. “As long as South Africa continues to support bad actors on the world stage and allows violent attacks on innocent disfavored minority farmers, the United States will stop aid and assistance to the country,” the White House said in a summary of the order. The White House said Trump is also going to announce a program to resettle white South African farmers and their families as refugees.
Murph Posted February 8 Posted February 8 While the whites treated the colored and blacks poorly, the blacks are doing the exact same thing, so South Africa just exchanged one Apartheid regime for another.

Ivanhoe Posted February 9 Posted February 9 https://thepostmillennial.com/criminal-investigation-into-james-okeefe-over-ashley-biden-diary-dropped-by-doj Quote The Department of Justice has dropped its investigation into journalist James O’Keefe regarding the Ashley Biden diary case, concluding the probe without additional criminal charges. O’Keefe announced the development, citing a letter from the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) to Judge Analisa Torres. The letter stated that the grand jury investigation tied to the case was now closed. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office has officially closed its investigation into the FBI raid related to the Ashley Biden diary case,” O’Keefe posted on X. Weird how investigative journalists are getting un-oppressed in the second Trumpening.

Medicare waste is nothing new. I posted back in '20 linking to an article highlighting how back in '15 they had estimates around 10% of the funding for Medicare is waste/fraud/abuse (meaning this likely continued on through Trump's first term). What's comically naive are a lot of these responses celebrating what Elon is doing and believing he actually knows what he's talking about. I just pointed out how he was talking out of his ass in regards to some Lutheran aid organzations. You all really think just a few days of access to some of these databases and it's that easy to highlight what and where the fraud is?
