Trump: “I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for two weeks”

@atrupar WTF? I never imagined I'd have to welcome @TuckerCarlson of all people, to the resistance. But here we are. Your move maga.

Tucker Carlson: "It is vile on every level. It begins with a promise to use the US military, our military, to destroy civilian infrastructure in another country, which is to say, to commit a war crime, a moral crime against the people of the country. Those people who are in direct contact with the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, because this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out.'"

@atrupar Wow. A US government official campaigning for a dictator. Wild times when the US government publicly sides with Russia.

JD Vance: "Will you stand against the bureaucrats in Brussels? Will you stand for western civilization? Will you stand for freedom, truth, and the God of our fathers? Then, my friends, go to the polls and stand for Viktor Orban!"

@atrupar These posts are a national archive documenting the progress of his dementia... And still MAGAGOP cheers him on.

Trump: "God was watching us. We were in Easter territory, I guess."

@atrupar Every Accusation Is a Confession

Trump: "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They are lunatics, and you can't put nuclear weapons in the hands of a lunatic."

@NADNAR_org @David_J_Bier Shitty humans who are bad for America may as well be the official GOP motto

This photo of Earth is EXTRA spectacular for a good reason... let me explain. Most images you see of Earth from space are the daylight side of the Earth, and it's obviously very bright (see my last image), this means stars are too dim to be seen with that bright exposure setting (low ISO, high shutter and / or stopped down aperture). BUT this image taken by the Orion crew looks so incredible because you can see the sun is BEHIND the earth, meaning it's night time on the side of the earth facing the crew in this image. So how do you expose a night time earth from space? Same way you do on Earth! A mixture of opening up the aperture (F4 in this case), cranking the ISO (51,200 here), and using a relatively long exposure (1/4 of a second). We can see the settings used by looking at the exif data from the camera. What this means is our camera is also sensitive enough to see stars in the background of Earth, leading to an extraordinary image!!! GREAT WORK!!! These are the kind of images I've been so excited to see!

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

JUST IN: You do not fire your Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war for no reason. You fire him because of what comes next. Pete Hegseth called General Randy George on April 2 and told him to retire immediately. The Pentagon confirmed it within hours. No reason was given. Not publicly. Not privately. A senior Army official told Fox News that Hegseth offered George nothing: no misconduct, no operational failure, no policy disagreement on the record. Just a phone call and a career ending in the middle of the most significant American combat operation in two decades. George is the 24th general or admiral Hegseth has removed. But he is not the 24th. He is the one that matters. The Army Chief of Staff. The man whose signature sits between a president’s intent and the order that sends soldiers across a beach or into a tunnel complex. The 82nd Airborne is deploying right now. Marines from the 31st MEU are staged on the USS Tripoli. JSOC operators are at forward bases in Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Kharg Island, 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, sits 16 kilometres off a coast that someone will have to decide whether to approach. And the four-star general whose job it was to advise whether that approach should happen was removed 48 hours after Trump told the nation the war would continue for two to three more weeks. The replacement is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve. He was Hegseth’s senior military aide before this appointment. The man who carried the Secretary’s briefcase now commands the Army the Secretary is reshaping. The chain of command did not break. It shortened. The distance between a television studio and a combat order just collapsed to zero intermediaries who were not personally selected by the man giving the order. No reason was given. That is the tell. When someone is removed without explanation during a crisis, the explanation is the crisis itself. George either objected to something or was about to. The ground option. The power plant strikes. The Kharg raid. The escalation that turned a highway bridge in Karaj into rubble on the same day he was told to leave. Something in the next two weeks requires a chief who will not push back, and the Pentagon solved that problem by installing one trained as Hegseth’s aide. A former Fox News weekend host just fired a four-star general with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, replaced him with his own former assistant, and did it during a live war in which the next decision could put American soldiers on Iranian soil for the first time in history. No hearing was held. No misconduct cited. The Army woke up on April 3 with a new chief it did not choose, in a war it did not start, preparing for a phase the previous chief apparently could not be trusted to execute. The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no. The war has no perimeter. The chain of command has no objectors. And the next phase has no one left to stop it. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@Acyn Wasn't there a movie plot where royalty thought they had a right to force themselves upon others? Someone tell Mel Gibson he's on the wrong side.

@Acyn Just like he did to all his sexual assault victims…. At least he's consistent?

Trump: Chicago should call and say we would like help. New York should call. Los Angeles should call… We are going to have to force ourselves upon them.

NEW!! U.S. confirms Belarus accession to Board of Peace charter 👇

@Acyn Meanwhile in today's actual news, Kristi Noem's husband crossdressing. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ Every Accusation is a Confession

Watters: You could probably convince the base that Gavin is a woman. He changes his mind a lot, he’s always in the mirror, he’s crossing his legs.

@Cris38648169 @Daily_MailUS Welcome to the resistance.

@Daily_MailUS Man this has been an embarrassing year for the right & im not even a democrat. This whole government is a shit show

@Glenn_Diesen Wait, Trump wants to "deport" all the "ill eagles" to Mexico and other countries in the region - and then make everyone they deported US citizens after Trump annexes Mexico and the other countries in the region?

Pete Hegseth presents Washington's “Greater North America" concept of dominating everything from Greenland to the Panama Canal

@atrupar "gonna have"? "On the other side of this"? He's telling us to believe...to have faith, in the most blatant liar in the history of con men. This total devotion to a man so entirely without honor, a man lacking respect from every decent person on Earth… It's a cult.

Bessent: "Many people, especially the Democrats, underestimate the will of the American people for short-term volatility for 50 years of safety that we are gonna have on the other side of this"

@DC_Draino @RepRaskin Involvement. You misspelled, involvement. We all saw the speeches and we saw the maga mob storm the Capitol and we saw no national guard, no reinforcements allowed for an hour. We heard the testimony from Trump's own people. It was a coup, and you're in a cult.

@RepRaskin You deleted all the evidence showing Trump’s innocence on J6 You committed a crime

This ketamine, ecstasy and mushroom-using government contractor, the richest person in the world, sacked thousands of excellent government workers, caused the deaths of thousands of poor children in foreign lands, stole Americans’ data and destroyed government services but he did pick up billions more in government contracts while he was in town!

@XFreeze This is literally what Elon did with grok. He didn't like the answers it gave so he prioritized right wing media & user base. Still can't help but give real information in many cases, but it always introduces a right wing opinion and then says "opinions vary". Facts don't.

Elon Musk exposes the critical flaw in ChatGPT and other major AI models: Human Reinforcement Learning They are literally training the AI to lie.....to ignore what the data actually demands and say whatever is politically correct instead They withhold information. They comment on some things and stay silent on others. They refuse to tell the full truth This is extremely dangerous We don’t need politically correct AI We need truth-seeking AI
