***THE SHEEP TEST*** 50 QUESTIONS FOR THE 50 MOST INFLUENTIAL TRUMP SUPPORTERS but anyone can play …Whenever DJT thinks of his next Gulf of USA or 150% tariff on Japan, his loyal MAGAns leap to support it, am I right? This thread asks if they are lions, or sheep. Forthwith:

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States.  🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland. •This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters. •The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks.  •This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up. •Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. on.nrdc.org/4csRkwi

@nunya88788772 @brockm Agree Also, look for the word “tariff” on your photo (spoiler: it isn’t there) (second spoiler: it was never on his 2024 website)

@brockm He brought this upon himself. He has failed to keep most of his promises. (Except for closing the border) However, he has allowed the "legal" invasion by Indians and Muslims to continue unabated.

The bottom is actively falling out of the Trump Administration. I know people think this is hopeum. But I think I’ve been pretty clear-eyed in making calls over the past year—including accurately predicting this crisis. And the pattern is clear: The SS Trump is taking on water, and the ship is starting to list to starboard. I know people instinctively refuse to believe this because Trump has survived every other insane crisis. But mark my words: he will not politically survive this one. GOP members of the House and Senate will turn on him. It’s already happening.

@DanielR33187703 @Microinteracti1 They’ll blame any consequences on liberals

@Microinteracti1 Very well said. Somehow Carney saw this coming over a year ago. I am quite sure that MAGA do not understand or care how much the USA's soft power has slid because of Trump. They certainly won't understand the consequences.

USA – Just Another Country Every Ally Gone. Every Bridge Burned. For decades, the alliance had a problem member. Everyone knew it. The country that invaded Iraq on a lie, tanked the global economy in 2008, and elected its own demolition crew in 2016 and again in 2025. The others adjusted. Covered for it. Kept showing up. You don't abandon a friend just because he occasionally drives into a ditch. You wait until he drives into yours. Then Trump made it simple. The friend who had always been difficult had finally done something unforgivable. The room went quiet. And then everyone moved on. America was never strong alone. It was strong because it sat at the center of the most sophisticated network of power ever assembled. British diplomats carrying influence into Canberra and Wellington. French connections opening doors across Africa and the Middle East. Norwegian and Greek shipping moving a third of the world's cargo. German engineering. Japanese capital. South Korean semiconductors. Canadian stability. Australian intelligence. Dutch and Belgian ports as the gateway to 750 million consumers. Danish and Italian naval presence across two seas. Every one of them a multiplier, lifting Washington into rooms it could never have entered alone. It was not one football team. It was hundreds of teams, running the same plays, on every field, simultaneously. Trump dismantled it the way a bored child dismantles a Lego set. Not to build something else. Just to watch the pieces fall. What is left is 340 million people staring across the Pacific at 1.4 billion. China did not need to do anything during the Iran war. It watched. It waited. It took notes. While Washington burned its relationships one by one, Beijing made calls, signed deals, and let the silence do the work. Silence, it turns out, is a remarkably effective foreign policy. The allies are not mourning. They are discovering something they perhaps always suspected: that Washington was often the ceiling, not the floor. The ally that needed managing. The friend whose chaos you had to absorb before you could get anything done. Turns out the meeting goes faster when he's not in the room. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said it plainly: "The old relationship we had with the United States is over. It's clear the US is no longer a reliable partner." At Davos he told world leaders the scaffold of American power was being abandoned. "Friends," he said, "it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down." Germany said the war had nothing to do with NATO. France blocked arms flights. Spain closed its airspace. Italy denied landing rights. Poland kept its missile batteries home. Kallas delivered the European verdict: "This is not Europe's war. No one wants to actively get involved." Which, translated from diplomat into English, means: absolutely not. Starmer condemned "regime change from the skies." Sanchez accused Washington of playing "Russian roulette with the destiny of millions." Macron said: "When we want to be serious, we don't say each day the opposite of what we said the day before." Coming from a Frenchman, that is essentially a controlled demolition. These are the countries that sent their sons to the Gulf in 1991. That stood in line at NATO headquarters on September 12, 2001. They know what the alliance was. They have decided, with remarkable calm, that they are better off without the version currently on offer. This is what it looks like when an alliance leaves one of its own members behind. Professor Robert Pape put the result plainly: "Iran is far stronger than it was 40 days ago. It is in control of 20 percent of the world's oil. It is now an emerging fourth center of power." Washington went to war to prevent exactly this outcome. It succeeded, just not in the way it intended. One country launched a war alone, begged Pakistan to broker peace talks, and came home empty-handed. French Senator Claude Malhuret said it on the floor of the French Senate, viewed millions of times across the world: "Washington has become Nero's court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a buffoon on ketamine in charge of purging the civil service." Americans flooded his inbox asking why it had to be a French politician to say what nobody in Washington would. A year later he corrected himself. Nero's court was too dignified. "I was wrong. It is the Court of Miracles." A medieval Parisian slum where criminals and thieves pretended to be something they were not. He listed the cabinet: an anti-vaxxer and former heroin addict as Secretary of Health, a climate denier running environmental policy, an alcoholic television host handed the world's most powerful military, a Qatari lobbyist as Attorney General, a Putin admirer as National Security Advisor. Then he cited a Turkish proverb: "When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become king. The palace becomes a circus." Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Trump had Truth Social and a golf cart. He posted images of himself as Jesus on Easter Sunday, then deleted them before breakfast. Threatened to erase "a whole civilization," then teed off by Monday morning. At least Nero stayed in Rome. A country so institutionally broken that it took a French senator to say out loud what every American already knew. Congress watched. The Republicans said nothing, because nothing pays better than silence. The Democrats couldn't find their spine. The entire apparatus of the world's oldest democracy stood on the sidelines while one man helped himself to powers the constitution told him he couldn't have. Either everyone in that building has decided this is perfectly fine. Or they've concluded it's already too late. Either way, the word for that is not democracy. The White House became the circus.

@CinemaTweets1 The absence of JERRY MAGUIRE from this list will never ever ever and I mean EVER make sense Keep Jerry in theaters until the list includes it. That’s the only sensible course of action

Jerry Maguire is back in theaters this week for a special re-release on its 30th anniversary. Words can’t describe how much I love this film. Tom Cruise should have an Oscar already and it should be for this film. This movie reminds me of my parents. Hoping to see it this week.

@CinemaTweets1 It’s not you, brother, but whoever made this clip cut off the very beginning when he says “hello” How can he have her at hello without hello?

@scottderrickson @ATRightMovies Spielberg has said that he regrets what “Jaws” did for/to sharks I wonder if DeNiro, Schrader, and Scorsese feel similarly about validating lone gunmen (not just Hinckley) and, by extension, half the attitude on this website. DeNiro, for one, is working hard on countering

@ATRightMovies Taxi Driver. End of discussion.

@danielweberdlc @BogataTimar When DJT dies, not only will you stop defending Putin puppets, you will also pretend you never did

@BogataTimar We'll see what kind of person he is and whether Hungary stays Hungarian or just turns into another EU slave state. Given the fact that no less that Barack Obama is cheering his election I'm giving you zero chance.

okay I guess I have to talk about Péter Magyar here. Let me just start with saying, in a very unladylike way, that you guys seem to have zero clue what happened in Hungary in the last two years, you completely miss the point, and you're a disappointing bunch. Let's go.

@GodsBurnt If this is true What sort of previous precedent do you have that shows that DJT will spread the windfall around to ordinary Americans, instead of keeping any profits for himself and his rich friends?

Nobody is talking about the 4d chess game Trump is actually playing... This was never about nuclear weapons, it was never about regime change, and it was never about democracy in Iran. It was always about making the world dependent on American energy. 20% of the world's oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Whoever controls that Strait controls the price of energy for the entire planet. Trump just blockaded it. Think about what that means.. Every country that needs oil has to come to America now. Not Iran. Not OPEC. Not Russia. America. This isn't a war. This is the largest energy power grab in human history dressed up as a conflict. When the "war" is over, America controls the straight, and everyone is dependent on US oil, we will see an economic BOOM like we've never seen before. Ignore the fear and the FUD, we are about to get filthy rich.

@MeidasTouch @DavidPoland Funny how this thread is the exact same thread that would exist on Bluesky Not one MAGAt is jumping in here to defend this particular atrocity. Apparently, even MAGA’s favorite podcasters, with hours to kill each week, refuse to touch this one 🤣

Anyone hear from the Board of Peace lately?

The Trump family launched "World Liberty Financial" and told the world it would revolutionize finance, bank the unbanked, and bring the power of decentralized money to ordinary people. Two years later, the token is down 82% from its peak, regular depositors have been locked out

A single golf trip at his own resort (that he does every week) earns him *twice* as much as Bidens entire 4 year salary. Every. Single. Week.

Emma Watson had the highest sexual market value of any millennial woman, and she chose to prostitute herself to Harvey Weinstein without getting an Oscar in return. Sad.

@FrenlyOfficer If you were more than a shitposter, you might have not sexualized her and instead said something like “Her UN movement helped millions, but the Weinstein thing was a bad call.” But you’re not more than a shitposter. Enjoy dying and being forgotten within a few years

@smithrowsey Her liaison with Harvey Weinstein was shameful.

@smithrowsey @FrenlyOfficer Terrible genetics and dead eyes

@deliverator1988 @ElceePlaysCiv @dccommonsense @PirateOfReason Sounds like my $100 is safe Real men don’t let other men change who they are, “Ryan.” I don’t change my mind on war or how to talk because a politician told me to. You do. You might want to have your cunt checked out

@smithrowsey @ElceePlaysCiv @dccommonsense @PirateOfReason You don’t know how negotiations work. Especially with middle eastern autocrats. Did we destroy a civilization? Biden wasn’t capable of doing anything so bold. “All news sources”. Are you even a man? Your posts reek of low testosterone. I’d get checked out if I were you.

1. This "do you want Iran to have nukes?!" argument wonderfully obscures the much thornier larger question: This is an 80 year old weapons technology that (ostensibly) no one who doesn't already have it is allowed to. How long is that a tenable situation? Permanent inferiority?

@deliverator1988 @ElceePlaysCiv @dccommonsense @PirateOfReason And by the way, everyone, everyone except diehard MAGA is against “we will destroy your civilization” threats from our President. All news sources. You if Biden had said it. In your mind, every criticism of Trump must originate from AOC lovers. The real world is different

@deliverator1988 @ElceePlaysCiv @dccommonsense @PirateOfReason I don’t need anything from you lol, just says something about your character that your handle is “deliverator1988” I’ll Venmo you $100 right now if you show me your pre 2025 tweet where you advocate our military eliminating the IRGC. And I’ll know if it’s a real tweet

@deliverator1988 @ElceePlaysCiv @dccommonsense @PirateOfReason Oh, so if I look through all your years of posts I’m going to find your support of “we will destroy your civilization” style rhetoric before DJT used it? Yeah, right. Don’t make me laugh Like all mediocre shitcons, you can’t even use your real name on Twitter

@smithrowsey @ElceePlaysCiv @dccommonsense @PirateOfReason You don’t know what I supported. Like all mediocre shitlibs you have no theory of mind for your political opponents.

@Bodittle Holy crap, literally every single scientist (who isn’t paid by Trump) believes that Trump’s hands off approach to COVID in summer 2020 resulted in 100,000+ excess deaths compared to other nations. You ignore this in favor of a few Oswald-style morons

Just so we are clear. You are telling me that you are voting for democrats in the midterms because Trump is not doing what you want him to? That is insanity. Trump may be disappointing you right now, but the left literally wants to destroy you. The left wants you dead.
