Fuck me. I went under the bathroom to twin a joist and the corner sill plate is totally gone. I can see straight through the siding to the outside.

It's bad folks.

I had a post removed today for using the word "spook" in reference to government agents, a common usage that I see around the site, because it is a racial slur, although ive never seen it used with that intent (not that it matters), and it only gets removed maybe 10% of the time. In order to be consistent and not offend any comrades I would propose adding it to the word filter so its removal will be uniform and not open to mod interpretation.

Imagine the crumbliest crackers to ever crack but they’re well meaning liberals, who have expressed interest in learning more about diversity and inclusion. You are tasked with helping open their eyes to the racism they are immersed in and benefit from without scaring them out the gate with the specter of communism. This would be accomplished with regular meetings, probably once a month in frequency. Reading is ideal but we all know nobody does the reading. What films or documentaries are a good place to start that help open the door but are palatable to libs? Stuff like 13th

Op is 2023, this one is 2021

Now the question is do you take the man’s words at face value?

I struggle to see how you can call a unified coalition of armed groups fighting to depose the government “gang members”

Who the heck knows what’s going on here but the rhetoric speaks for itself, and CIA arming and funding of opposition militias would definitely not be unheard of.

I don’t know anything about the last pres who got assassinated before Henry (who is resigning today) took over in an “interim” capacity 3 or 4 years ago…

There is more to this story for sure imo, this is one to watch

Does anyone have good news sources? I am pretty wary of swallowing the state department line that this is all due to “gang violence”… particularly given how racially coded that language is, and when I read into the stories it says they’re mostly attacking government and police buildings. I see embassy personnel are being airlifted. Mainly trying to figure out who are the factions/what is going on

IMO: Sleepy Joe looked about as good as he could up there. His brain left his body a couple of times but nothing that couldn’t be papered over, no McConnell freezes etc.

Overall the speech was the same liberal pablum we’ve been receiving for the last 20 years. He cited Reagan positively lol.

Biggest flop imo was he went hard right on the border, at one point calling for the president to have the ability to shut the border down if the number of migrants gets too large. At one point he talked about some girl who was killed by “an illegal.” Very bad look overall.

He also called for a two state solution which I guess has been the official policy or whatever for a while now. They’re going to build a temporary pier to land aid in Gaza. Time will tell how that goes. It will take a few weeks to build, many will starve by then, and there still need to be roads etc for aid to actually reach people.

Other topics covered that I can remember is a bunch of Lucy football shit; banning assault rifles and high capacity magazines, lowering prescription drug prices, protecting roe, raising the minimum wage and increasing taxes on the wealthy and corporations— you know, all the type of shit the dems could have done while in full control of the government but didn’t because manchin or the parliamentarian or whatever the fuck.

At any rate I think what he needed was to go out there and talk for an hour without having his brain leak out of his ears. Mission accomplished.

Whats your take?

Have you tried bombing civilians? I hear that is a good way to get money
