Emmanuel Shroud

I’ll meet you on the other side mom.

@PolymarketSport Oh that boy is cooooked lol

🚨BREAKING: Someone named “leeeroyjenkins” just put $8.6M on Belgium to WIN their match vs Egypt today This pays out $13,142,257.58 on Polymarket

@Gordo_C24 @FTFonFS1 @DaxMcCarty11 Also I’d like to add players like Balogun? One of the top scorers in France last year. We have quality at the goal scoring position. You know France who hosts the best team in Europe at the moment? Yeah.

@FTFonFS1 @DaxMcCarty11 You beat one team and suddenly you think you can get to the semi-finals of the World Cup... You've won eight games since 1930. I understand patronism and I understand being a fan This is being delusional

.@DaxMcCarty11 says Friday’s win changed his expectation for USMNT: “I thought Quarterfinal run, now I’m thinking Semi-Final run and anything could happen beyond that. This was, in the first half, the 2nd-best half the USMNT has ever played in a World Cup.”

@Gordo_C24 @FTFonFS1 @DaxMcCarty11 Also, I’d like to point out that this American team has 14-17 players playing in the top 5 leagues. Many of them starting. That ranks about 8th in the WORLD. They should make the quarterfinal and it’s not crazy to say semi-final especially given they’re at home.

@Gordo_C24 @FTFonFS1 @DaxMcCarty11 Paraguay beat Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina in qualifying bro. They’re a good team. More importantly they’re a defensive team that doesn’t leak goals. They gave up the second least amount of goals in SA. We didn’t just beat them . We dominated them in a historic fashion.

The UK arrests people for retweets and memes

@TheDefiantGhost Too bad Hancock is a new age nutter

Graham Hancock just dropped a devastating blow to mainstream archaeology with the Great Pyramid of Giza. “It’s a 6 million ton monument… more than 2 million individual blocks of stone.” “The Great Pyramid is aligned within 3/60ths of a single degree to true north… on a 6 million ton monument.” “It sits almost exactly on latitude 30 which is 1/3rd of the way between the north pole and the equator.” “And it incorporates the dimensions of the earth on a scale of 1 to 43,200 in its own dimensions.” “So if you take the height of the Great Pyramid and multiply it by 43,200… you get the polar radius of the earth. Measure the base perimeter of the Great Pyramid… multiply it by the same factor, 43,200, and you get the equatorial circumference of the Earth.” “Archaeologists know this. They say it’s a coincidence, total coincidence, just by chance.” “However, I could agree with them actually if the scale was not 1 to 43,200. But the fact that it’s 1 to 43,200 changes everything because that belongs to a sequence of numbers that is found in ancient mythology all around the world… multiples of the number 72… derive from… the precession of the equinoxes.”

@YourAnonNews Yeah…someone is getting hurt after that. No one is going to shoot my baby girl without me going full John Wick.

FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey. His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive. A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it. 20+ officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex. And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child. No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing. The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage. Like it never happened. If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel? Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.

@PolymarketSport THEY DREW LOL. Bro lost 1m

🚨BREAKING: Someone just put $1M on Spain to WIN their match vs Cape Verde today This pays out is $1,085,943.48 on Polymarket

@AntiDemokrat_ @RanTeeThree Very true. Historically, when a government swings too far left or right you typically get a reversion. Almost like physics. Equal and opposite force.

@RanTeeThree @EmmanuelShroud "The real geniuses are the smart people in power who weaponized free speech to push their agenda. The difference? Idiots like Starmer are too dumb to control the masses with it. All he knows is censorship. This will backfire.

It’s important to know that the social media ban for under 16s is not a ban for under 16s. It is a ban on *selected* social media for EVERYONE. Until you identify yourself.

@BobHicks_ @RanTeeThree My point is more specific: modern campaign finance, lobbying , and post-office revolving-door influence ie. private money shaping policy and access. Those are different mechanisms than ‘public money being used for public benefits,’ even if both relate to incentives in democracy.

@EmmanuelShroud @RanTeeThree “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.” ~Alexis de Tocqueville

@BobHicks_ @RanTeeThree That’s a similar idea, but it’s still not really the same thing I’m talking about. Tocqueville is describing how democratic incentives can lead to expanded state spending to win political support

@BobHicks_ @RanTeeThree True. But again, that misses the point. The problem isn’t that Congress is being paid a salary. It’s the salary they get outside of conventional means as well as campaign finance.

@EmmanuelShroud @RanTeeThree Also: Benjamin Franklin did argue at the 1787 Constitutional Convention that public office should not be paid, fearing it would only attract those seeking profit.

@BobHicks_ @RanTeeThree Also, that quote isn’t really about modern “money in politics” or lobbying in the way people use it today. It’s a general warning about voters responding to incentives in a democracy, not a prediction of PACs, campaign finance, or corporate lobbying

@EmmanuelShroud @RanTeeThree They did: "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury." (attributed to Ben Franklin)

@BobHicks_ @RanTeeThree There’s no evidence he actually said that.

@n0n0tagain @RanTeeThree Once you give the government or anyone broad power to decide that, it can get used against legitimate criticism too. Most legal systems draw the line at direct threats or incitement to violence, not just offense or disagreement.

@RanTeeThree @EmmanuelShroud Nobody should have the right to freedom of speech if it offends, intimates, or puts someone in danger. Why would you want to?

@n0n0tagain @RanTeeThree Free speech isn’t really about protecting the stuff everyone agrees with, it’s about protecting speech even when it’s uncomfortable or offensive. The hard part is that ‘offensive’ and ‘dangerous’ can be really subjective.

@BobHicks_ @RanTeeThree True. Too bad they didn’t foresee money in politics.

@RanTeeThree @EmmanuelShroud They had a more realistic assessment of human nature.

@NixonPunished @RanTeeThree England already had a lot of these ideas in tradition (speech, trial rights, petitioning, etc.), but they weren’t strongly protected against Parliament and could be overridden by ordinary law. The U.S. Bill of Rights took those same ideas and made them hard constitutional limits

@RanTeeThree @EmmanuelShroud It was inspired by a parliament very similar to the current one and by the English common law principles they violated in the 1750s-1770s. Don’t forget that before we were Americans, we were British rebelling against the Crown over tyranny.

@NixonPunished @RanTeeThree Agreed.

@_UserEx_ @RanTeeThree It’s both parties

@EmmanuelShroud @RanTeeThree We also have problems with democrats trying to run around our constitution, using the other western countries to deny our rights. This is going to become a hot topic when the next democrat is in the White House.
