FYI, these guys are the ones all the Rothschild conspiracy theorists are talking about when they say "Jews control the world, man1111". They hold somewhere around 6.5 trillion in managed assets and investments....and a big chunk of it are in companies that are destroying the environment. They make Google and Amazon look like small potatoes in regards to overall influence on government and the private sector. Pretty crazy.

Mike Pence speaking at West Point commencement

Quote:

“It is a virtual certainty that you will fight on a battlefield for America at some point in your life,” Pence said. “You will lead soldiers in combat. It will happen. Some of you may even be called upon to serve in this hemisphere.”

Pence spoke as the U.S. plans to send another 1,500 troops to the Middle East to counter what the Trump administration describes as threats from Iran; as the longest war in U.S. history churns on in Afghanistan; and as Washington considers its options amid political upheaval in Venezuela. The administration is also depending more heavily on the military to deter migrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico.

Pence did not serve in the military but noted that his late father served with the Army in the Korean War.

“And as I stand before you today here at West Point I can’t help but think that First Lt. Edward J. Pence, looking down from glory, is finally impressed with his third son,” Pence said. “So thank you for the honor.”

Where’s the presidential candidate who’s really calling to stop this ****?!

the point of all of Trump's appointments as far as the bureaucratic offices is primarily to do nothing

REO, Oreo, whatever

Meanwhile HUD is allowing homeless shelters to turn away people for being trans.

Also in many areas shelters and food banks are run by Jesus freaks and the local police shutdown non-religious attempts to provide charity. And if you don’t think it’s like that you don’t know. Making sure religion has a monopoly on charity is a mainstay in the south.

Sometimes I wonder what Nixon or FDR's tweets would have been like. Probably not as lulzy as Trump's.

I know it's a vacuous anti-comedy statement but still just imagine Hitler's tweets. Because no matter how lame an idea that is to postulate, the reality would still make Hitler somehow 10x as famous.

Or maybe he would’ve been just another sad troll and never risen to power.

Bruh. Do you really think Hitler wouldn't know how to wield social networking? If Donald Trump had been chancellor of Germany back when computers didn't exist do you think anybody would guess at his online accomplishments? Bro, Hitler's tweets would have been lit.

Yeah do you see how this is vacuous anti-comedy? My point still stands though.
