Can anyone pin-point the exact moment where everything in society just got substantially worse?

@APompliano Yes territorial expansion through nationalistic aggression has always worked out long term

The reason that Greenland is so controversial is that it ultimately pits globalists against nationalists. You either believe America should do what is in the best interest of America or you believe America should sacrifice its economy, national defense, and population at times for the greater good. There is no simple answer to complex problems. But this difference of viewpoints between globalists and nationalists are going to drive debate in many policies decisions over the next few years.

@Wendsiedlung @lymanstoneky I don’t know what this has to do with what I said, or why it threatens me. I’m saying Euro nations will make use of their new military age males for the purpose of defending themselves. What do you take issue with?

This is what many Americans don’t seem to get. STATES HAVE THEIR OWN LOGIC European state institutions will JUMP at the chance to have morally approved bodybags from American aggression. It will galvanize state institutions. Europe cannot defend Greenland but the price of taking it can be the end of a secure Atlantic.

Boys, is growing old with a woman you love a bad deal?

@SlawomirDebski Have they tried offering him personally 20 billion dollars in an untaxed bank account?

For European decision-makers searching for answers, I would offer three unglamorous recommendations. First, calm the emotions. Strong feelings may be cathartic, but they have never been a reliable guide to prudent statecraft. Strategy begins where outrage ends. Governments that allow themselves to be carried by the emotional weather of the moment usually discover - too late - that they have confused performance with policy. Second, ask a simple but uncomfortable question: what is the long-term objective? The future does not end with Donald Trump’s presidency. There is an era after Trump, and decisions taken today should preserve room for manoeuvre for both sides in that post-Trump world, rather than foreclose it. The temptation to score immediate political points is understandable; the cost is often strategic rigidity later on. Third, Europe must respond. Trump will not reverse course if he can continue moving forward without paying a price. If the community of the free world is to mean anything - and someone, at least, should still care about that - it must be costly to undermine it. Deterrence, even in politics, rests less on declarations than on consequences. Here, too, restraint matters. Costs are best imposed quietly, without enthusiasm, and without public displays of moral bodybuilding. History suggests that the most effective responses are rarely the loudest ones. They are the ones that endure, long after the noise has faded.

@sleepy_node @IsaacKing314 @GarrettPetersen No the shift isn’t a change of positions, it’s a shift of the line. The push is figurative

@IsaacKing314 @GarrettPetersen Anytime someone claims to have been pushed away from a political side, I assume they are mentally fragile, with few strongly held positions. It’s fascinating to see them arrive at contrived conclusions that frame their drift as principled and not simply reactive

Oh no, I am experiencing this right now.

@fr_Khamenei Tu quoque mother fucker, tu quoque

Le président des États-Unis, qui juge le monde entier avec arrogance, devrait savoir que les dirigeants arrogants du monde, tels que Pharaon, Nemrod, Mohammad Reza [Pahlavi] et d’autres, ont connu leur chute au moment même où leur orgueil était à son comble. Lui aussi tombera.

@MELANIATRUMP Looks really funny

MELANIA, the film, exclusively in theaters worldwide on January 30th, 2026.

@NoContextHumans Don’t need the TV or second pillow

Men be honest, is this enough?

Kat Dennings says Marvel Studios “did scan me.” “So to be honest, they could put me in anything they want at this point. Who knows! I’m in the system.”

@GigglingGanon The point he’s trying to make is that voting was constrained to white landowning men, but he actually fails to make the point and instead comes off just as beta and screeching as her. Anyone with debate experience knows his intention is to disrupt the argument and make her quit

This guy shows exactly how to handle this liberal Karen during a debate.

In Wayward Pines the Duffers wrote the episodes revealing that the show had been a lie. #conformitygate

@ArynneWexler @nickshirleyy I want to understand, mechanically, how the fraud works. We need some former Soviet bloc Americans to read through the relevant laws and policies and figure out what the game is

Think about how the worst part of this video from @nickshirleyy’s exposé isn’t even how badly beaten this woman’s face is Not all cultures are equal

@IterIntellectus The real question is why didn’t DOGE find this? Massive fraud in a political opponent’s state committed by foreigners? And DOGE just didn’t notice the $10B spending line?

> news of somali stealing $10B of tax payer money > “mmm, why are people suddenly upset at somali? I don’t understand”

Curve has been building like madmen over there

@kirawontmiss Queens and kings are on the wrong squares

Snoop Dogg posted this picture on facebook with Eminem and 50 Cent on Facebook👀

@jack Try creating shareholder value though

the act of creation is the only thing that justifies existence

@greenytrades Hodl preaching and experience selling and it mooning immediately

Why do so many people in Crypto fail to take profits?

Honestly valuing dot com companies by eyeballs was correct. It just needed about 12 years for the economics to catch up.
