Last post by Vikkii - Yesterday at 11:24:39 AMI've been burned before by networks with shady terms or super slow payments. Now I want to focus only on trusted platforms that actually support affiliates and don't waste time with middlemen. How do you even start filtering these networks? There are just so many out there with flashy promises and zero actual value.

Last post by CCarl - Yesterday at 10:16:12 AM130 Unlawful Executive Orders In Under 100 Days . . And Counting
"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force." — Ayn Rand
Read John Whitehead's full commentary here; https://www.rutherford.org/publications_resources/john_whiteheads_commentary/how_a_president_becomes_a_dictator_by_executive_order
130 executive orders in under 100 days.
Sweeping powers claimed in the name of "security" and "efficiency."
One President acting as lawmaker, enforcer, and judge.
No debate. No oversight. No limits.
This is how the Constitution dies—not with a coup, but with a pen. The Unitary Executive Theory is no longer a theory—it's the architecture of a dictatorship in motion.
Where past Presidents have used executive orders, decrees, memorandums, proclamations, national security directives and legislative signing statements to circumvent Congress or sidestep the rule of law, President Trump is using executive orders to advance his "unitary executive theory" of governance, which is a thinly disguised excuse for a government by fiat. In other words, these executive orders are the mechanism by which we finally arrive at a full-blown dictatorship.
We are at Ayn Rand's rule by brute force.

Last post by alexx - April 29, 2025, 05:52:45 AMЗнайома проблема — вже не раз ловив себе на тому, що витрачаю більше часу на оновлення та технічні налаштування, ніж на саму гру. Як альтернатива, можеш звернути увагу на платформу https://casino-online.co.ua/casino/slotor/ — вона повністю працює в браузері, нічого не треба встановлювати, і водночас виглядає цілком сучасно. Є підтримка мобільних пристроїв, швидке завантаження сторінок, інтерфейс не перевантажений — загалом усе інтуїтивно і зручно. Для тих, хто не хоче возитися з програмами — це дуже слушний варіант.

Last post by Vikkii - April 29, 2025, 05:41:09 AMХто стикався з тим, що хочеться просто зайти й пограти, але більшість сервісів або змушують ставити якісь додатки, або взагалі працюють криво на телефоні? Чи є щось більш просте, але нормальне за функціоналом?
