Disney Moves More Than 2,000 Jobs OUT Of California And TO Florida Citing Florida's Pro-Business Policies

Donald says

First, in the middle of the night, an appellate court reinstated the CDC''s ban on cruise ships that DeSantis recently got overturned in court.

The schedules have not changed: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-ships/cruise-schedule

DeSantis continues WINNING!

Hey, just got a third "ignore" today.

Grammar is not my strong suite

Lol, nor spelling, but we are glad you are here. You make a lot of good points.

Soros is a moron, China printed money and built Ghost Metropolitan Cities that could house 3 million people, and let them sit vacant and rot away.
This was going on, while the world was having the global financial collapse. Obama nor the Fed chiefs at the time, never said a word about it.
China has to keep building something, anything, it's the only way they can print money to appear solvent. The minute they run out of projects, and money to print for them. They will contract back to the Stone Ages.

When I visited last there was huge struggle to buy a house in shanghai.
I think they built houses at wrong places where there are no jobs.
Also Govt decide who can be domiciled in tier-1 cities. One country two systems.

Again, let people cruise. This virus isn't and won't wipe out humanity. The reaction will be by a long shot worse. Let people choose to do what they want. Granny can stay home and so can you. It's a fucking broken record at this point. What if I don't care if I die from Covid? How about I get to choose how I want to live? Novel concept just like this virus I suppose.

I think he realized the jig was up and bailed. CIA troll farms aren't paid to play cat and mouse with people who know what's up.
They are looking for people that they can manipulate with 12 FBI agents to get one text post agreeing to kidnap someone or shoot up a place.
He thought he was going to rile us up, and we would threaten him, or he was hoping that his CIA fake news links was going to open dialog with a CNN cartoon depiction of an average Trump supporter. Yes they honestly believe every word that comes out of Joy Reid, and Jim Costa's mouth about Trump and his supporters.

Fallopia says

I know most folks here cling to the belief that Trump didn't lose, but the facts just don't bear that out.

Oh come on.

Biden would have to have been the most popular presidential candidate in all of US history winning the largest percentage of eligible voters, and at the same time have won the least percentage of counties in all of history.

We're not fucking stupid.

But notice, there's nobody running around, looting stores, burning down city blocks, and murdering people. We're used to this shit.

Patrick says

Ah, so Fallopia is indeed a paid troll who was hired to cast doubt on the overwhelming and obvious evidence of election fraud.

I guessed right!

You can troll for a while @Fallopia, but not for very long. Sorry, it's my site, and your deliberate distortion of reality out of TDS is not worthy of respect by anyone.

Don't kick him off!

People have to recognize what a propagandist is, and that they do, indeed, exist.

Shit the worst thing is that people tell you "the government wouldn't do that!" - show them that they do. Demonstrate it.

Feed out that rope. It's not hard to demonstrate somebody is full of shit, on a site where nearly everybody is logical, honest, and speaks their mind and explains their reasoning. This is one of the sites I think that is done often. Let a few propagandists in.

@Fallopia Come back! Shit down my throat please.

Are you a professional PR person, or are you a dupe? You can always use Brave, and use the Tor feature of us to write back. I'm intensely curious if the propagandists are having less effect, or if the dupes are shrinking. You can use https://www.mailinator.com to create a fake email account - that's what I've done.

Also, if you want privacy, I'd recommend not using a phone, and using a virtual machine. If you're under contract with an organization, you should assume your computer is bugged. As an engineer, I can see packets flying by on my virtual machine, encrypted, no idea what information is being passed, but when I'm at work, I know I'm monitored.

You can pick up https://tails.boum.org/ - that allows you to flash a USB drive and boot up under Linux, where (in theory) communication is anonymous. Basically it is, because if they expose it's not anonymous people will stop using it. You'll need to setup your BIOS to boot off from USB or stop the boot up sequence (F10, F11, F12) to select it.

I've talked to a few people who claimed to be PR professionals. No way I could tell if they were being honest in that, but I could tell they were lying in their standard postings. Amazingly, none of them could understand reasoning, logic, or historical examples but in direct one on one conversation, they suddenly were reasonable and reasoning...

The whole idea of working for the intelligence agencies isn't very much James Bondish - is it? All a spy is, is a person that infiltrates a group and then betrays them. Martin Luther went through that, the anti-Vietnam war movement dealt with it, the Black Panthers dealt with it. Being a spy isn't a noble profession, it's a professional fink, a professional traitor - good or bad. Their job is to betray the people that trust them.

It is not good that people are afraid to say uncomfortable truth or blurt out their opinion without repercussions.
To be scared and hiding behind Internet to say what you feel is not a very good indication of free successful society.

Are we going to get a Communism or sharia next?
Where are ACLU morons protecting free speech as they claim?
It’s fun to be controversial as long as it doesn’t put you on pike.

Fallopia says

Why not audit Tennessee and Alabama?

I have an even better idea, let's audit my home state of Massachusetts and show why it's virtually impossible for a non-Democrat ... to win even one county.

Yeah, it's like we have all the time in the world to audit all 50 states when really, only the swing states matter.

Are you a Massahole?

Regardless, you're right. We have a corrupt election system, and the best thing for this country was for Trump to "lose". He's pulled the carpet up on so much shit. A bull in a China shop. This is the most important thing he's done, he's demonstrated, proved, how corrupt our system is. He got elected, and put up a big middle finger of "Fuck You" to the establishment that has been running this nation into the ground for at least 3 decades.

I don't even care if he's a piece of shit, or downright evil - he's done what I wanted to do for 3 decades.

richwicks says

Duh, born and raised Bostonian!

TRUMP! WILL! RETURN! AND YOU WILL WORSHIP HIM AND HIS PROGENY WHO WILL RULE AMERICA FOREVER!

ON AUGUST 13, TRUMP AND IVANKA WILL RETURN TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND DIG A BARBECUE PIT AND COOK NANCY PELOSI AND EAT HER FLESH ON TV FOR BOFFO! PAY PER VIEW

SumatraBosch says

COOK NANCY PELOSI AND EAT HER FLESH

too old, meat will be tough

Trump won by at least 14 million votes.

Everyone knows that.

On August 13, he will throw Biden from the roof of the White House and have Fauci shot in the face on national TV and shit in the wound and take control of the world again.

It says so on the pillow I just got.

Fallopia says

Or maybe I was busy with work. It's really amazing the gusto with which some folks crawl down conspiratorial rabbit holes.

Haha, if you don't realize intelligence agencies have PR thugs roaming about, you've never pointed out a war crime of Israel.

Hasbera is easy to recognize. They are surprisingly expert in the most unknown details to justify whatever stupidity Israel is doing. Strangely, they have an answer for anything, as if they are professional propagandists, because that's what they are.

I had some "house wife" following me around on youtube when I was pointing out that the collapse of WTC7 didn't make any sense, and the only publicly available finite element simulation was from from the University of Fairbanks. Suddenly "she" knew everything about SAP2000 and Abacus which are finite element simulators. All of "her" posts were deleted when I challenged her to show me anywhere, where "she" had a post about literally anything else besides 9/11 and gave her several links of me talking about dogs, farm life, technology, etc.

Some people are dupes, some people are propagandists. The difference is, dupes work for free, and they don't have a script to draw on. You're better off as a propagandist, at least you get paid to do it, rather than being tricked into doing their work.

I lived in Boston for 6 months. People are super rude, and if you dare to be polite using a blinker light on 95, you're punished for it. After 6 months of being there, even my parents were calling me an asshole, and I'm from NY State! Not suited to be a Bostonian. NYC city is filled with complete assholes, but they are nicer than a typical Boston native - no offense.

From your mouth to God's ears!

I've been to NYC a million times and the place is super hospitable. But I get the sense that everyone is nice because by visiting you've finally woken up and come to your senses and come to understand that NYC is the capital of everything for a reason. Been to Boston twice its like Rochester with a harbor. Sounded interesting when they used to have lots of race riots.

NYC the capital of everything?

I'm from upstate NY. They are regarded as nothing more than an economic drag on the rest of the state, by absolutely everybody. They produce nothing, it's a filthy, disgusting city - as bad as SF is now, but it's been that way for at least 30 years, it's a center of crime, and they don't do anything else than financial fraud.

They are not cosmopolitan, they do not have "great food", Broadway is a joke, it's highly racist, crime is and always has been rampant, the sewer system is ancient and causes the entire city to stink (seriously, when I'm there all I can smell is that fucking sewer), and it's highly segregated, by race.

NYC is nothing but a bloodsucker on the state and the rest of the nation. If it fell into the sea tomorrow, we'd all be better off. The people that live there are so isolated and ignorant that to them, "upstate" is anywhere else in the world. It's a prison to me. I got stuck there when I was flying back to a family reunion and hung out at a bar as I waited for my cousin to finish work so we could meet up at Covewood. Ever seen the film Brazil? The air ducts at the "bar" were open, because most businesses there last 6 months, so they don't even bother to make the place look nice. It's just a place of poverty.

I can't see why anybody would select to live there. It's just a big garbage dump.

Well, I will admit, that was a big plus.

To me, Hillary Clinton was just George W. Bush in a communist dictator's uniform with some lipstick. Seriously, she had the same tailor as Mao Tse-tung.



Really - what the fuck? What a bizarre set of clothing to wear. I've never seen anything close to that being worn in the wild. She had the most bizarre tailor.

Also, she's too fat to pull that off.

is it Gay Newsome or Gavin Newsome? I'm pretty sure his gender pronouns are they/them at this point, because cuck.

....

Wow, those are pretty intense.

I agree with the sentiment expressed in the photo. We need to focus on what unties us rather than what divides us. Black, brown, democrat, republican, gay, straight and yes even Shik, Hindu. As Rodney Kong said "can't we all just get along?"

Now I'm no expert on the situation on the Indian subcontinent but I can't tell you I've met men (and women) of all faiths..some are good people, some are a-holes. Some are independent and tolerant, others are close minded and bigoted.

In truth how is your position on the Hindu faith not divisive? Clearly you have an axe to grind. Now it may well be justified. But how does it help foster the unity you claim your trying to promote?

For example I'm not particularly enamored with the Turks since they wiped out the Armenian side of my family but I can't hold it against somone just because they were born in a particular place or into a particular belief system. All I can do is try and enlighten them that a side has two stories. And yes I've done just that over the years. It may not help, but it can't hurt. Standing on a soapbox preaching "all [insert faith or race of choice] are bad!" What good does that serve?

In my experience most who are at odds with my world view have only herd one side of the story. Engage them. Talk to them civilly. Listen to their concerns. Search for points of commonality. I'm a firm believer that two people, no matter how different usually have one or two things in common. Once you have then in a place where they will listen, then you have a chance to change their mind if not their heart.

Now I fully expect you will fight me on this point, argue with me. Try to tell me all the reasons why Hindoos as you call them are bad corrupt murderous people. I respectfully reject your premise and will not engage in your divisive politics.

This. I'll never go to NYC again besides for a layover flight. And I won't leave the airport. I don't care if people are direct or moving about their day quickly, but NYC is full of a bunch of ass holes. If I were to label it, it's a big ego city. Even the losers that live there think they're successful. It's also filthy and stinks as you say rich.

The funny part is there are a lot of people that leave and go out to CA. Maybe that's part of the reason CA is going to shit. I don't know, coastal areas besides maybe GA and FL are mainly fucked up. I guess the Carolinas get a pass too. I love visiting, but couldn't live in them.

I'll take a bunch of fresh water lakes here in the midwest all day. Winter sucks, but my biggest issue with it is light, not temperature or snow. Light is an issue for everyone one in winter unless you go south though, international style. So midwest it is for me. Retirement years it will be summers/fall (hurricane season) in the midwest and Caribbean over winter/spring.

I've had some good times in NY, still like the architecture, neighborhoods like bedstuy have their own flair and you can ride your bike or walk over he brooklyn bridge. Of course all before covid. It was good for young singles but never to raise a family there. I def has fallen from grace, similar to SF. They both just need another Giuliani takeover.
