To say nothing of SpaceX being unable to foot the bill for a defence budget regardless.

If this woman is telling the truth, then it was rape- she said no(in fact told him that before she showed up at her house) and never changed her mind.

He wouldn’t be a Republican. His whole schtick is being very progressive.

Normal blue collar guys aren’t casually raping people.

Is this the same here and gone?
This woman made a few bad choices(having a previous hookup with platner). Then afterwards he invited himself over and she told him not to come. She unwisely didnt lock the door so he just let himself in. Then she told him to stop while he grabbed her and tried to mount her. If that’s not rape, what is?

Why do you think Bourdain’s suicide had a specific catalyst? By all accounts he struggled with mental illness, lived a lifestyle that doesn’t exactly root people in their lives, and it could easily have just been his unlucky break; no doubt he’d been close to suicide before.

Bosnians in my experience are only nominally followers of mohammed; they drink vodka, eat bacon, gamble, listen to pop music, dress their daughters in skinny jeans, never go to mosque, etc- actually less religious than serbs or croats. Not the kind of mussulmen who would particularly desire extra grace from CPS.

The YFZ raid was a dud on the claim of physical abuse of children, but most of the elders did get convicted for statutory- and polygamous muslims marrying teenagers would almost certainly get in just as much trouble. Mohammedans get a weird double standard in the progressive press but it's unclear that they actually get treated better by CPS.

The Catholic church verifies miracles on a regular basis and provides evidence using modern technology. You may think this evidence is insufficient to prove a miracle(because you need to accept the existence of God), but it hasn't stopped happening. Improving medical technology has not ended miraculous healings. Many holy relics are at least not provable as false.
The same can be said, by the way, for UFOs. Cell phone videos of the sorts of things that UFOs would claim would turn up on cell phone videos are in fact turning up.

Post-camera miracle claims are a dime a dozen; you can choose to believe that they aren’t sufficient evidence but they are there.
Similarly ufo reports are basically the same thing even with improving technology.

The difference between superstitio and religio goes both ways. Nonreligious people can believe in, and regularly do believe in, ghosts, animism, astrology, voodoo, etc.

Trump loves the USA winning, but he probably loves even more that world cup tourists love America. They love our restaurants, our dance halls, our wings and ranch dressing, bucees and the sheer scale. There are regular human interest stories on cable news about fans from abroad falling in love with America(and drinking all the beer in Boston) in addition to the usual aides printing out tweets for him to peruse.

Being a cook sucks- the pay is bad, the hours are maximally terrible, and the working conditions are usually awful, and it's stressful and you're surrounded by felons and have to be bilingual. But there's lots of jobs which do not take a grindset to get into for moderately smart people which are totally fine; you can be a teacher or accountant or cop or work in most trades and make a decent living for a manageable work life balance- and America has lots of second chances if your kids have the same parents and you don't do drugs or commit violent crimes. Not getting into Jane street isn't a consignment to working in a sweatshop.

The six twelves people mostly signed up for it for the opportunity to make more money, usually in jobs that would be tough to replace even if they might be unpopular in certain circles(oil extraction in particular likes this schedule). No one really finds this schedule controversial- those guys almost always volunteered for it. I think he's referring to the oriental grindset of overstudying to boost test scores above what IQ would predict.

Has it mutated in Russia or Sub-Saharan Africa or other countries where it just runs rampant?

Liberia literally isn't ruled by America-descended blacks; it was overthrown by a cannibal warlord named 'General Butt Naked' who left a power vacuum for the usual pack of savages.

The confederate flag in practice is mostly about pride in the White Southern identity(and White Southerners are an ethnic group whose culture is extraordinarily popular; the obesogenic food, sports, country music, lake culture... liberal comedians tell jokes about how much fun the whole thing is. One of the reasons Trump is able to win is because the secular version of this culture has a good time so reliably and it appeals to the common people). I don't dispute that blacks genuinely have a (understandably)negative reaction, but the white liberal elite mostly just doesn't like their cultural enemies; there won't be a symbol of White Southern culture which isn't controversial for that reason.

9-9-6 is a punishing work schedule and America maintaining a high standard of living without it is worth prioritizing, but is it really that bad? I don't believe techworkers are working Saturdays a lot. I know there are people working six twelves(which is what normie americans would call it, although for FIFO roughnecks and the like who probably make up the majority of such workers it's more likely to be 7-7 M-Sat). I know techworkers work some unusual hours but is it really normal to work more than about fifty hours a week?

It's interesting that Trump is clearly pro-America-getting-into-soccer- and as an MLS fan(and rooting for a team that has three players for the national team), I have to sympathize- even though being into soccer is my least red tribe trait(no, speaking French doesn't count, it's Cajun French and not metropolitan), Trump liking it makes up for retarded Iran adventurism in my book.
My take, in this case, is that just because FIFA is used to accepting their bribes in grocery bags full of euros hand-delivered to their hotel rooms by expensive prostitutes, does not mean they aren't capable of long term planning. The US is a great growth market for them- lots and lots of disposable income(in an extremely strong currency) with a population that loves sports, has ties all over the world, makes a great host, has advertisers who will pay dearly, etc. Mild corruption is Tuesday and they've been trying to get the USA into footballing for a long time. It should've been a yellow card anyways.

Didn't Argentina retain wealthy after they had plenty of industrialization, and a succession of economically illiterate buffoons in the rose house destroyed any semblance of fiscal or macroeconomic sanity until that was no longer true, and then they had a national reorganization process which lost a war, and then they had hyperinflation?

It was a renegotiation in bad faith already. The settlement before destroying the confederate monuments had been mostly uncontroversial in the sense of few paying much attention to it.
Zohran Mamdani thought is an electoral winner when it has a uniquely talented politician leading it and it's running in a deep blue progressive city. The squad loses badly elsewise.
