Today’s motivation

@TheJeffPutnam The strait was open just one month ago. We’re giving concessions for something that we already had

Anyone surprised by this hasn’t read the Art of the Deal. “Nothing ever happens” Of course it doesn’t. Trump’s MO is and has always been to operate this way. 1. See a problem. 2. Make the most batshit crazy and outlandish threats anyone could ever think of and act like he has nothing to lose. 3. Immediately agree to negotiate as soon as it’s put on the table . Go back to ANY “thing” that’s ever come up in his presidency (either) and you’ll see this exact pattern. A business owner doesn’t want to agree to a merger with one of Trump’s companies? Trump: I’ll short the fuck out of your stock and then buy it all up for pennies. Then I’ll fire everyone and have my own people run it. Business owner: WTF? Let’s talk. Trump: I’d love to. Iran doesn’t want to open the straightening Hormuz? Trump: Fuck it. Well bomb the whole country and the drop a nuke and kill everyone in the region with a big beautiful blast and then give them all cancer for generations. Iran: WTF? Let’s talk. Trump: I’d love to. It’s the same old shit every time.

@AndrewKolvet @ZannSuz You’d shoot yourself in the leg in order to own the libs. It’s unbelievable to witness this stupidity in the wild. Embarrassing to the flag

If Democrats want to weaponize our airports against Americans to block deportations of illegals, then Republicans should strip blue state airports of their international airport designations and remove CBP so zero foreigners can enter. Fight fire with fire.

@RealSLokhova @1980srock British 😭😭😭

"Trump", whose correct title is President Trump, is not "embittered against Mueller". Don't speak of him like you speak of a scorned woman. President Trump is speaking up for the innocents, like myself, that Mueller hurt and ruined the lives of. Mueller was always a dirty cop. Like Biden was always a dirty, corrupt politician, young and old. Stop trying to make people feel sorry for an "old man" Mueller's legacy is that of corruption, waisting millions of public funds, dividing the country, and breaking the Constitution.

@MZHemingway @Shanghaibeast @BarackObama RAHHHHHHH WHERE IS CHARLIE KIRKKKKKKKK I WANT HIMMMMMM WHERE IS OUR SAINT

@BarackObama Far and away the worst and most vile presidential comment today on the man who was the titular head of a horrific operation to destroy countless lives, overturn a presidential election, and obliterate any trust whatsoever in federal government.

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

@PhlHousing Why is it illegal for him to evict people who are not consensually living on his land? It sounds like the government is enforcing itself as a defender of property rights

Camp Chloe is a homeless encampment in south philly between the Giant and the Home Depot. Its on land owned by centimillionaire Bart Blatstein who attempted an illegal eviction last week with support from the city office of homeless services.

Ukraine will you sell drones to the people fighting Iran? In exchange we will let Russia freely sell oil to fund their conquest

@JBKSchlossberg Fuck off

Today is the official launch of the FIX IT NOW petition. I'll be going across the city in a petition drive to make public housing safer, cleaner and stronger. SAY NO TO THE DEMOLITION - The Elliot Chelsea + Fulton Houses are in my neighborhood — repairs, not the wrecking ball !!

@kirstentheodos @cityaestheticss @GVSHP Literally yes

@cityaestheticss @GVSHP Yes bc there is such a major shortage of luxury units in NYC.

That thing is hideous. Can we all agree that luxury towers should not be erected on city owned land? The city wants to build a "600-ft.-tall apartment tower on city-owned land on Little West 12th Street in the Meatpacking District — which they call “Gansevoort Square” via @GVSHP

@kirstentheodos @GVSHP You will like the tower. Why should you have a right to tell the city what they can do on their own land?

@PoetofGallifrey Not coded watch his tape he is really very bad at quarterback

Why does he need to switch positions? Why can't he play QB? This is coded language.

@brianlebased @estencooke Grant took over the eastern theater and went belt to ass. “Lee lost but gracefully” is not a sign of his generalship. Lee himself acknowledged Grant as his superior at the end of the war

@BlueMax_0 @estencooke Uh...he failed all military objectives against Lee in 1864. Lee outgeneraled him, so Grant looked at his notes, said screw it, throw em into a meat grinder until it's over. There's a reason the Northern papers called Grant "the butcher."

I've actually been to Andersonville. It is quite disturbing, even in retrospect, but Federal apologists fail to tell the truth about this camp. The facts: 1. Up until 1864 prisoners were routinely "paroled" meaning they were sent home but forbidden to fight until they had been "exchanged. Grant ended this agreement. He could not defeat Robert E. Lee in the field so he chose to fight a war of attrition. 2. The South was starving by this time and hygiene was not fully understood. Men bathed, drank, and defecated in the same water supply. Rations given to POWs were the same sustaining CSA troops. The RRs were destroyed and Georgia was very far from Richmond. Priority was always given to actively fighting soldiers, but even they had to rely on food packages from home and what could be scrounged locally. 3. Unless and until Yankees are willing to acknowledge their crimes committed against Southerners in camps like Elmira and Johnson's Island, camps that were deliberately cruel because the North had plenty of food and clothing, your attack against the Confederacy is nothing more than hyperbole.

@salimadofo Why should we subsidize the lowest earners? Shouldn’t we want a city with affluent, high paid workers who can subsequently support higher wages across the board? All this does is economically stagnate a city DESPERATELY in need of a boost. K shaped economy is a failure

A More Affordable DC is Here I’m proud to serve as the proposer of DC’s newest ballot initiative: More Affordable DC. Right now, housing costs in DC are rising far faster than wages—forcing long-time residents, families, and essential workers out of the communities they helped build. This initiative gives voters a direct way to fix that imbalance. More Affordable DC will: ✔️ Freeze rents for two years to provide immediate relief ✔️ Fix affordable housing rules so they serve DC residents earning 60% AMI or less ✔️ Stop counting wealthy suburbs like Fairfax, Loudoun, and Montgomery County in DC’s income limits ✔️ Require family-sized, permanently affordable housing on public land This is about stability, fairness, and keeping DC inclusive for every generation. Let’s connect and build together. 👉 Stay connected: bit.ly/3NNwG1r #MoreAffordableDC #HousingJustice #KeepDCAffordable #DCFamilies

@Charles07788205 @davidhogg111 Can’t wait for my taxes to pay for your seventh carnival cruise

@davidhogg111 We've been paying our taxes longer than you have been alive. In the last 14 years I've watched the property taxes on one little property I own increase by 400%. Time for your generation to start bearing the load.

I love older Americans but this is wrong. Young people will be further crushed by the debt boomers are leaving us with for decades to come. These regressive policies are detrimental to the future of young Americans and our country.

@grey4626 Strong believer in freedom of speech!

Fuck you. That flag isn’t a goddamn buffet where you pick the parts that stroke your fragile ego and spit out the rest. It’s a contract. It’s the unbroken chain of men who died face-down in foreign mud so you could flip tricks down a snowy hill and call yourself an “athlete.” You don’t get to wear it while publicly vomiting on the very nation that handed you every privilege you’ve ever known. This isn’t “nuance.” This is narcissistic betrayal dressed up as virtue. You’re not brave; you’re a coward hiding behind performative detachment because deep down you know your politics are fashionable poison that couldn’t survive five minutes under scrutiny. You crave the applause of the coastal echo chamber more than you crave loyalty to the people who actually built this country. You want to signal how “evolved” you are? Fine. Pack your shit. The second your plane touches down, revoke the passport, strip the citizenship, and ship your disloyal ass straight to Pyongyang. Let’s see how long your enlightened whining lasts when the state decides what you’re allowed to think, say, or ski. America doesn’t need athletes who treat her like an embarrassing relative they tolerate for the inheritance. We need warriors who understand that representing this nation is an honor purchased in full by better men than you. Get the fuck out. And take every last one of your enablers with you. 💀🖕🏻

@tworedjags @OpenNYForAll Apartment buildings make you Hitler / Stalin is insane, we should study your brain for fun how does this even happen to a person

Notice how it’s blue despite spreading everyone out 13 people per square mile Do you enjoy breathing polluted air in a place that lacks ecological diversity? You’re a fascist. Straight up, Hitler Stalin, those are people that liked the apartment block and dense urban planning. Environmentalists prefer spreading out density as it mitigates environmental harm. Fascist like concentrating density as it increases air pollution asthma cardiovascular diseases etc Don’t make me post about particulate pollution inside nyc subway trains… it’s literally insane they don’t have surgeon general warnings for carcinogens on your ticket stub.

New Yorkers have the lowest carbon footprints of any Americans because so many of us live in dense walkable neighborhoods and rarely drive. NYC is the greenest place to live in America. 8.5m New Yorkers moving to sprawling exurbs would be environmentally disastrous.

@JSims52 @paranoiacs I know reading is hard but good Christ calling integration woke is a special type of delusion.

@paranoiacs It's this kind of heavy-handed political sports "reportage" that has brought about the end to their sports department and the imminent closure of the paper itself. But yeah, praise away.

Shirley Povich from 1962, with the most immaculate burn ever on the Redskins vile owner George Preston Marshall, the last NFL owner to insist on an all white roster: "Jim Brown, born ineligible to play for the Redskins, integrated their end zone three times yesterday." RIP WaPo.

@suzy_redd @MomOnAMission30 Words hurt your feelings wahhhhhhhhh

There is a coffee shop in Rock Hill, SC called Flora Coffee. It has been my favorite since we first tried it a month ago and we've been back repeatedly. Sadly, this sign is now posted on their door. Let's ignore the fact that 63% of York County voted straight-ticket Republican in the 2024 election. It's not a smart business model to alienate customers in ANY city. Ah well....there are plenty of coffee shops here that WILL cater to customers who recognize this nation's sovereignty. I will give them my money.

@BWLH_ @paulspivak_ Do you think speed cameras and vigilant traffic law enforcement are a good thing?

I think of all the American kids killed in drunk driving incidents by illegal aliens, who then never returned to their classrooms across the nation. No thanks. Liam Ramos and every illegal alien must go home. Birthright citizenship must be ended retroactively.

@HolmesJosh Does this mean he should be dead?

The inevitable tail to the story of a leftist hero. Virtually always more to it.
