America - The Official Thread

[Danoff]

Regarding Qatar Force One, this puts it pretty well into perspective of what it would take to make that plane be up to par with the current existing ones:

President Trump's Qatari 747 is a flying security disaster

: Air Force Dumb

www.theregister.com

Short version being, the cost to completely strip down, inspect, then rebuild that 747 to include all the required systems (including but not limited to: armored body and windows, EMP hardening, anti-missile defenses, secure communications, on-board medical bay, and more that we aren't told about) would be more time consuming and expensive than Boeing just building a new one from the ground up, even with their already massively delayed and over-budget timetable.

In other words Trump just wants a shiny new toy to flaunt around in, and should probably think twice about using it to visit any part of the world where shoulder-mounted rockets are easily available.

This should surprise approximately zero people (Trump included).

Nobody except him (and Qatar and their friends) benefits from Trump flying around in a plane that may not fully pass security inspection

Bill to make pornography a federal crime introduced by GOP senator

Republican Mike Lee seeks to redefine ‘obscenity’ in order to empower prosecutors to punish those who make and distribute ‘extreme’ content online

www.independent.co.uk

This is the independent, so take it with a grain of salt, but I predict two things if it passes:

1. likely the next bill is to deem LGBTQ+ content as "Pornographic" and ban it too, effectively erasing LGBTQ+ out of existance.
2. This will fail. Miserably. Either it will have no realistic way to enforce it, especially with this, so no automated removal either.

It'll probably be presented like that death penalty scenario in Florida where it's targeted at LGBTQ+ people, but it's written very broadly to the point multiple things fall under it.

However, porn is something several Christian Nationalists want gone altogether through Project 2025. Because these people are definitely not guilty of being found the biggest consumers of things against "God's" intended vanilla sex between husband and wife; BBC, Hotwife, Hentai, Furry, Strap-On, Small Dick, Transformation, Cuckold, & so forth.

Just going by the searches and my view, red states seem to be into emasculation, that very thing conservatives love to cry about happening to the modern day man.

The US is one of the world leaders in pornography production and wasn't there a big fuss about "saving" the US film industry recently?

More insane ramblings from deranged control freaks.

That guy looks like someone with a constantly erased search history.

Yep, a direct irony to how much Donny has been claiming that the US is getting "the short end of the stick" to the rest of the world. We are the largest "exporters" of pornography by far & rakes in billions each year.

A multi-billion industry will not go down with a fight, either.

And now Donald is giving the US a taste of HIS short stick. Talk about double punishment! Or maybe double penetration, while we are on the subject… 😬

I would probably wager that there are a large number of MAGA supporters that have Onlyfans accounts and are content producers. They are not going to be happy with this attempt to make them criminals and cut out their income.

Oh, absolutely. I've seen 2 creators, 1 of which was a young girl who celebrated Trump winning on her IG and then immediately deleted it because of the backlash. Another one is into hotwife/sharing content.

I'll never understand women in the industry choosing to follow a man whose supporters are quick to attack & devalue any woman showing some skin. The only amusing grace is how easy it is for them to fleece the men for thousands of dollars. Otherwise, a real leopard moment in the making.

I gather this one's legal, though, even if barely.

If he wants to use it for personal reasons, then it's not a gift to America, it's a gift to him. Nobody except him (and Qatar and their friends) benefits from Trump flying around in a plane that may not fully pass security inspection until mid 2026 at the earliest.

Well, if it's not inspected and security upgraded then we'd all benefit from him flying around in it.

 

[TexRex]

This is obviously correct.



But it's not unreasonable to still want the bitch gone.

Kristi Noem wants migrants to battle for citizenship on reality TV

Kristi Noem is now pushing for a reality show that would see immigrants compete 'for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,' DailyMail.com has learned.

She's been called 'ICE Barbie' for treating her Cabinet position like a TV production, but now Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is pushing for an actual reality show pitting immigrants against each other 'for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship'.

This is ****en sick!

I'm not kidding when I say, I feel like someone will pitch him a real The Running Man show. It just gets wilder and wilder with this presifarcey.

Perhaps moreso government, as you say, but it's a government pandering to a base that absolutely loves it. Vermin, the entire lot.

 

[McLaren]

In that case, let's have them battle for position of Homeland Security Security. I'm sure Kristi will have no problem easily losing to someone else.

 

[TexRex]

Wait, didn't Noem set the precedent that if an animal's acting up, you shoot it in a gravel pit?

Edit: Yes. Untrainable and dangerous. Not a pleasant job but it had to be done.

Welp.

The pitch comes from Rob Worsoff, a writer and producer known for Duck Dynasty, the A&E reality show about a Louisiana family and its hunting empire, and Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker.

Talk about an aptonym. He wouldn't be worse off should Noem give this Panem-styled circus maximus the green light but the rest of us would be.

Unsurprisingly, he's made his own argument against him. Normandy wasn't just Americans, but per his own words, he's dignified fellow Brits, Canadians, & multiple other countries as Americans.

Nice dog whistle with "nationhood", btw.

I almost feel bad that Gorsuch is gonna join ACB in getting accosted by Trumper vermin. Kavanaugh didn't join Gorsuch, ACB, Roberts and the liberals fully, though he did submit a concurrence which I have yet to read.

Facts. To add to this, both my grandfather and great uncle fought for the United States in WW2 and both of them were born in Germany

That's a coincidence... so were Trump's ancestors.

 

[TexRex]

Kavanaugh didn't join Gorsuch, ACB, Roberts and the liberals fully, though he did submit a concurrence which I have yet to read.

Pretty unremarkable concurrence.

Actually a full-throated agreement with the majority's position that the Trump administration's actions re: "deportation" (I don't like that they're still calling it that because deportation is simple removal from the host country and not rendition to a foreign prison) violate the Constitution. His only disagreement with the majority was on remand to lower courts to decide what actions would comply. I'm not certain what his take on that would be, but he wants the Court to decide that.

Anyway the Trump base is dumb as dirt and that he wasn't technically with the majority but on the question before the Court may mean he's spared death threats. Someone could still explain to them I guess.
