# This Weeks Discussion Theme: [Consoom Trumpler] (https://arete.network/polls/39f7e396-11a0-4c41-9cf4-deaf34f80341/)
In this weekly we consoooooooooom Trumpler! Unless you been living in a log cabin off grid for the last two weeks you likely know Trump has been arrested. So, what did he do? They must have finally gotten him for his trips to Epstein Island? Oops, wrong guy. Wait oh it must have been for his son’s shady business deals with Ukraine and China. Dang, wrong guy again. Oh, wait, it has something to do with that corn star Hurricane Denise? Wasn’t all this nonsense settled like years ago? Who knows... Just need to crack open a few more Dylan Mulvaney Bud Lights and turn on CNN. Is there any sports ball on?
 
 
 
 
 
Discussion ideas:
 
 
 
* What is your opinion on Trumps arrest?
* Is it really campaign finance fraud or just weaponized lawfare?
* Do you think Trumps arrest have harmed his prospects for 2024 or helped?

# Previous Weeklies:
* [Master List](https://communities.win/c/ConsumeProduct/wiki/ConPro-Weekly/)

Content mirroring between [scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct](https://scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct) and [arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct](https://arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct) is now ready for an experimental test run. There are bound to be some issues starting out and changes may be reverted if anything goes catastrophically wrong.
   
I have tried my best to minimize the number of requests to the Scored API as much as possible, which means that feed updates won't happen in real time, but they should still be frequent enough to display fresh content (currently a 15 minute interval). Old posts will be updated when accessed directly or when listed on feeds.
   
I've made sure to respect content deletion and not retain deleted content, so as long as everything works as intended, content deleted by users on scored.co should become unavailable as soon as someone attempts to view it, if not prior to that through feed updates detecting discrepancies.
   
Any posts or comments you make on Arete Network's Consume Product board will be automatically crossposted to Scored by a bot account.
   
Mirrored content is by default hidden from Arete's front page, but you may choose to enable it in [your settings](https://arete.network/settings/), or turn it off entirely if you so desire.

And I for one think that’s sus. Homestead posting is *core*-ConPro. Talking about ways to consume less and make and produce more yourself. Five years ago it was this very board that gave me an uplifting and encouraging world vision in some of the darkest times in my life. It inspired me to drastically reorient my life trajectory.

Now any time someone dares to dream a little about a life they can actually be proud of a brigade of hater bitch niggas always shows up to tell them it’s pointless and not worth it. That to save the white race they should actually be reposting the same slop ai memes over and over online.

We actually used to be a place where successful young white men would share ways of finding good women. Of how to sus out people you worked with to find allies. How to break through to your parents.

Without fail, every fucking time, bitch niggas come out of the woodwork to tell you how all women are worthless, working any job is pointless, and to give up on the idea of making a better life for yourself.

Well I say fuck that. Fuck you. I dare to dream of something better. Get the fuck off my board.

I was terminated from my job in New Mexico a few months ago because I complained about safety of the production line.
I filed for unemployment and I got it. The unemployment benefits run for 6 months. I am at about month 2 currently. I am on the edge of recieving some job offers and was contemplating collecting unemployment until it ran out, even while working.
Normally, I wouldnt do this but our system is so fucked and so rigged that I dont care at this point. I am only worried about getting caught (collecting unemployment while still working). Does anyone have experience with this? I want to double dip the system. How likely are you to get caught?
