There are some real dumb motherfuckers in the DT thread that genuinely seem to think Trump is pausing aide to Ukraine because he wants Russia to lose.
But even if he wants them to win, did you see what Obama said about them in 2012?

Correct. If you were to give anyone with any expertise in wildfires a map of these areas pre-development, and said "now, build me a neighborhood that isn't vulnerable to wildfire," the FIRST thing they'd tell you is "that can't be done." If you dialed back your request to "okay, build me a neighborhood that is defensible and much less likely to all burn up in a wildfire," then the #1 and #2 moves would be lower density and firebreaks. Then some things with lesser returns, like no wooden fences and sealed attics, and a higher density of hydrants fed by larger water storage. And regular vegetation management activities and budget (to maintain firebreaks and limit fuel in areas that aren't firebreaks).
Shit can be done. None of it makes anything mother nature-proof. But those things can mitigate the harm. But then, those things are incompatible with 1) supplier demand for profit, and 2) consumer demand for more houses in the nice neighborhood. And, they cost money.
We don't do planning.
Just reacting and fingerpointing. Those are our things.
You're not wrong in principle, but in Altadena, we're talking neighborhoods that were over 100 years old. This wasn't some recent, ill-advised development.

So all current events presented via text only? Do you have anything to add, or a point to discuss, about the content of the video? Or just yelling at clouds to get off your lawn?
Go back to CR or Reddit, and stop shitting in this thread.
I did. But since you've reengaged, I'll respond.
This thread has seen a constant stream of criticism of the Biden admin. A few posts up, people are posting that Trump will be better for Ukraine than Biden. That seems to be fine with you. Only when someone pushes back on that do we hear "GO BACK TO THE CR."
If the mods want to make this Ukraine thread the place to criticize the Dems and the CR thread the place to attack the GOP, so be it. But I've not heard that yet.

Before we fully re-write history, remember what the current president's first predecessor repeatedly said about Russia and what was done 11 years ago that got the current ball rolling. Not really a firm leg to stand on.

Yet you're still looking around wondering how we got here and i could see it coming for miles away. I typically vote 3rd party because they all suck, but actually didn't this time. From your tone i bet you wouldn't believe who i voted for either. The left will either learn to pay a little attention to those "conservative corners" or continue ignoring them and we all can just take the giant L. But hey at least some of yall can feel vindicated in behaving like the ones you so despise.
Is ignoring corners worse than calling Democrats "pedophiles, enemies of the state, and un-American?"

Before we fully rewrite history, let's remember that it was the GOP who loudly, and repeatedly criticized military aid to Ukraine.
Your future savior also publicly proclaimed that "Russia can do what they want" in the region.

I do appreciate the whataboutism attempts to find “accidental” salutes by the other political party, because all it does is highlight how forceful and unquestionable Elon’s was.

Very nice of God to save that one Christian when like 5,000 other Christian families had their house burn down.

Of course
do you know what the JAfD is?
A Jewish division of an antisemitic extremist group in Germany.
Imagine that!
https://scholarship.claremont.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1187&context=urceu
The Nazi party had Jewish members.
Does that mean the Nazis were not Anti-Semitic?

The problem is we have many people here who truly believe that MUCH of what the Nazi's supported is good for the US too - ban on Muslims, purge enemies of the state, consolidate power in one central figure, nationalism, removal of undesirables from society - but because it has the Nazi label they understandably and reflexively push back when you call it what it is. They too have gone their whole lives hating Nazis and what they stand for based on our involvement in WWII. Good vs evil, etc. Sucks to find out that you actually have a lot more in common with those guys than you might have thought. So it makes sense when they protest that their team is called Nazis.

The video is propaganda only without the audio. Like I said, context, which the audio gives. The video looks like a Nazi salute. When you listen and watch the speech you get context that makes the video insignificant.
What about his vocal support for the AFD? Here's what he said about the AFD: "Only AfD can save Germany, end of story, and people really need to get behind AfD, and otherwise things are going to get very, very much worse in Germany.”
QuoteFrom the ADL:
Björn Höcke, leader of the AfD party in the state of Thuringia, has twice been fined by a German court for using a banned Nazi slogan. The phrase, “Everything for Germany” (“Alles für Deutschland”) was a slogan of the Nazi stormtroopers and engraved on their daggers.
In a 2017 speech to the AfD youth wing, Höcke bemoaned German’s culture of remembrance of the Holocaust, saying, “We Germans, our people, are the only people in the world who planted a monument of shame in the middle of our national capital.” He called for Germany to stop atoning for Nazi crimes and make a "180-degree turn" in how it remembers its past.
Alexander Gauland, an AfD co-founder, former party leader, and current Member of Parliament, has engaged in Holocaust trivialization on several occasions. In a 2018 speech to the AfD youth wing, he said, “Hitler and the Nazis are just a speck of bird poop in more than 1,000 years of successful German history.” Gauland also said in 2017 that Germans should be “proud of the achievements of German soldiers in two world wars.”
AfD leaders have also threatened to deport German citizens of non-ethnic-German heritage.
In its 2017 election manifesto, AfD asserted that the presence of Muslims in Germany was a threat to the country: “Islam does not belong in Germany. The AfD sees the spread of Islam and the presence of over 5 million Muslims, whose numbers are constantly growing, as a great danger to our state, our society and our system of values.”[2]
AfD members were exposed as participants in a November 2023 secret meeting of far-right extremists in Potsdam, including Austrian neo-Nazi Martin Sellner, who discussed a mass deportation plan for foreigners and "non-assimilated" Germans, as part of AfD’s strategy should it be elected to govern Germany.
Following the exposure of the secret meeting, AfD politicians initially denied participating, but just weeks later began actively campaigning with the slogan, “remigration,” which was the term used at the meeting for the mass deportation plan.
So the guy who thinks the above is swell is giving a carbon copy Nazi salute at a political speech. Had he done that in Germany, he'd have been arrested.

Are you an anti-semite?
You don't share the same position as the ADL?
https://x.com/ADL/status/1881474892022919403
are you saying that if I disagree with the ADL, then I'm anti-Semitic? What would happen if Musk did that in Germany? He'd be arrested of course. Does that make Germany anti-Semitic?
-
I will say, watching grown men sink further and further as they defend the indefensible does come with its own bit of humor.
Just now, Longhornlove said:I saw the video and entire speech of Musk with the sound on. My point is context matters of course except for those that it doesn't fit their purpose.
uh huh.
and your position after watching the Musk video is that he was doing what?

Yeah there would definitely be some short term financial pain when CA leaves. Primarily from the cost of building a giant wall on the eastern border to keep out the dumb fucking Americans
