@elonmusk Judges can’t enforce rulings unilaterally The House impeaches, not the Senate 67 Senators are needed to convict. Who let this South African muskrat into tue halls of government without the most basic lesson in American government

English

Elon Musk@elonmusk·19 Mar

This is a judicial coup. We need 60 senators to impeach the judges and restore rule of the people.

Charlie Kirk@charliekirk11

Now, a district court judge ordering the US military to continue enlisting mentally delusional transgender troops is justifying her ruling by quoting the musical Hamilton. We either have a presidency or we have a rule by 677 gavel-wielding dictators. The Supreme Court must put these judges in place.

@DC_Draino Lmao yes. There’s a great many things you’ve missed but that’s been through willful ignorance. Buckle up, Buttercup. Same swamp, different toadstools.

How did DOGE go from “let’s cut wasteful government spending” to “here’s why we need to import more immigrants” almost overnight? Did I miss something?!

“People in Korea are scared. And we’re scared of North Korea — but we’re more scared about China. China has been our problem for 5,000 years. And America’s stance is very important to us because it’s directly related to our survival. A lot of Koreans think we need our own indigenous nuclear capability.” —Lt. Gen. (ret) Chun In-Bum, Republic of Korea Army, on @IndoPacPodcast w/ @GordianKnotRay

@BryceMLipscomb @RandPaul You’re kidding right? Almost all economic activity occurring between 1920 and 1928 caused the greatest depression the world has ever seen. And yes, tariffs were a major factor in that.

English

Bryce M. Lipscomb@BryceMLipscomb·19 Eyl

Warren G. Harding & Calvin Coolidge would be devastated that a Republican brought this bill before the floor. The greatest economic time period in American history 1920 to 1928, America had the most tariffs on goods and materials coming into the United States. You are my favorite Senator, but I feel you’re off on this particular issue.

@mfa_russia @RussianEmbassy @RusEmbIndia @EmbassyofRussia @_AfricanUnion @russembkenya @RusEmbNigeria @Rus_Emb_Sudan @Rusembegypt Russia is still a major colonial power, or are we to believe Russia was always its current size/demographic makeup?

MFA Russia 🇷🇺@mfa_russia·14 May

🇬🇧 Britain was once a major colonial power, whose expansion relied on exploiting the natural resources of the lands under its control, exporting their cultural assets and the slave trade. 📖 A reminder on British colonialism: t.me/MFARussia/15857

Jokes aside, I have not seen many Russian tanks moving around in the last couple of months. Have I missed it?

Thomas C. Theiner@noclador

Four russian tanks drive into a minefield and get knocked out. Fifth russian tank drives right into the last untouched spot of the minefield... and hits a mine. To the russian tank trainers: Never change your training. It's perfect.

@RT_com The Spartans were banned from the Olympic Games for breaking their treaty with the Athenians after the Peloponnesian War, so there’s clearly a precedent that spans centuries.

@FlyFrontier Why you gonna charge a family $50 so the children can sit with their parents on a flight that’s only half full? How can you call yourself a “budget” airline when you charge the customer for EVERY step of the way? It feels rather inhumane.
