In other news

In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there are important, interesting or just plain weird things happening out there and a group of people can find these better than one.

I thought I would test with a thread for linking general news articles about "other news" and discussion. Perhaps it goes into the abyss that is page 2 and beyond, but it is worth a try.

Some guidelines:
- Try to find the "clean link", so that links to the news site directly and not a social media site. Avoid "amp-links" (google).
- Write some cliff notes on what it is about, especially if it is a video.
- It's not an excuse to make outlandish claims via proxy or link extremist content.
- If it's an editorial or opinion piece, it is polite to mark it as such.
- Note the language if it is not in English.
- There is no demand that such things be posted here, if you think a piece merits its own thread, then make one.

If I were to start shoehorning every single thing I think wrong is politics and the world today into "this is core MAGA", "MAGA did this", "this is MAGA's fault", "some conservative 100 years ago said this so it's MAGA", would you even bother reading my posts?

if you were right yes, except for the fact MAGA is being defined as a big deviation from conservativism, so you can't use the 100 years ago





BREAKING NEWS: A FEMA whistleblower revealed that a FEMA contractor visited an elderly disabled veteran’s home and suggested removing Trump campaign materials, claiming FEMA supervisors view Trump supporters as domestic terrorists.

I was called crazy 4 years ago when I was warning people about this DS puppet agency. I predict they will be dismantled by March/April (they're a compromised and controlled deep State army in disguise, corrupt af).


Was is the function of DS in general and how would you quantifying a person being in the DS ?

Getting paid and doing nothing in return qualifies you to be an agent of the DS ?

Well, when the "bad" side keeps getting called fascists and nazis, things like this will happen.

She's been dealt with. Truth will prevail in time.

I know it’s a rhetorical question, but what links any of this conduct to a deep state?

Is it partisan? Sure. Are you blowing it out of proportion? Absolutely. But you really think the deep state is composed of FEMA workers afraid of getting accosted by MAGA idiots while doing their jobs. And is the deep state so poor that they can’t put people on the payroll, they make them contractors to save money?

To be fair, people have been calling you crazy longer than four years, I don’t see the correlation or causation,

The deep state by their own admission is first and foremost civil servants. Ie employees of public agencies with a political agenda , that can have power to affect the lives of citizens even if unelected.

Then according the the conspiracy theorists like PB there are other "grey entities" somewhere and so on that make up the deepstate.

But that civil servants can have a political agenda and act upon it regardless of what elected politicians want isn't a conspiracy theory.

Is this some sort of club? Do they have meetings?

So much for the best evidence rule. Thanks, Luciom for answering as a fact what someone else thinks. Again,

It's called "the republican party" and they often meet yes.

Trump does define the deep state as civil servants having personal political agendas as i did above

It's in the political platform of the trump campaign. The part about PB is written by him everywhere in this forum.


JFC, I don’t need to you further explain a possible source of Playbigs thinking. I want to see if Playbig can’t qualify his version of facts. I get this is a public forum but don’t think I care what you think PB thinks.

This is a news flash thread please take the drama to the Trump 2nd term prediction threads.

Yeah, jjou!



BREAKING: Senator Rand Paul warns Donald Trump against using the military to deport illegal immigrants, cautioning that deploying the army in U.S. cities sends a terrible message both to the world and to American citizens.


PB wants multiple threads he can spread his uncontested lies.


I doubt it.

Elon has really messed up twitter by things like making all the blue check replies to a tweet appear first, so the replies are usually dreck. A lot of the best stuff was in the replies.

You can debate how to handle stuff like Holocaust denial. Seems many advertisers don't like it being allowed.

However, one thing I like about the platform is seeing people of all types express all types of views.

There is an audience echo chambers, but I think it's limited.


Elon should buy this Blue Sky thing

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/agenda47/ag...

Everyone has a personal political agenda. So I guess government should employ no one except those who don't know **** about ****. That makes sense.

This is just another nonsense scary monster that Trump sold to the more stupid of the nation. It worked. He got elected again in spite of how awful he is and J6 and pussy grabbing and his fake marriage and family and everything. But it doesn't mean it's an actual thing. People can do their jobs.

I guess all the "uuuhhh we don't want to be displayed near neonazis comments" thing was just cover for a political choice (which might or might not have violates antitrust laws given the coordination between companies)

Major brands like Disney, IBM and Warner Bros resume ads on X after year-long boycott – What's driving their comeback?

Ofc they spent far less for now that before the boycott but guess what, now that Musk won the elections they don't care about neonazi comments anymore

Simply put, all people with any kind of actual power should go under the spoil system.

No one should stay as a permanent unelected power holder of any kind excehpt for judges (and judges only because the constitution says so, it isn't necessarily the best option).

Everyone has a political agenda which is why everyone in government should be fireable at will by elected officials

I definitely agree 100% my brother, thanks for helping these ppl out, they shouldn't be reading things I post about it's way too far out there for them but it's not their fault they were just a lot easier for the DS to program (such as hating the most liberating president in world history and calling him "orange man"... u can't make this **** up).

passa un bella vie
