@Cobalt7474 @Ryansmithaz @RpsAgainstTrump This is how the left exists.
They just assume everyone who isn't a commie is a Russian bot.
It's their only go-to. It let's them invalidate your opinion while having a made up excuse to not engage with any counter arguments.
Dumbest f**king creatures, I tell ya.

NYT: In a final twist, after the weapons officer was rescued, two transport planes meant to evacuate the team got stuck at a remote base in Iran. Commanders flew in three replacement aircraft and destroyed the disabled planes to prevent them from falling into Iranian hands

Shiloh is lying of course. The table he is referencing is applications, not people.
Imagine being so foolish as to think anyone would just overlook 400,000 duplicate registrations.
The narrative is so much more important than the truth with guys like this.
Shiloh Marx@Shilohmarx
Governor Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) won Arizona by 17,117 votes in 2022. Arizona had 434,088 duplicate registrations.

@JarJarBinx21774 @Kortirionandon @Garrett_Archer Imagine being so confident about something you’re so wrong about. Sharpies register just fine. No state in the nation takes 5 months to certify an election.
English
@Kortirionandon @Garrett_Archer She’s deserves to be ship out of the country. No sharpie registerers, it’s fraud fraud fraud. Talking 5 months to certify an election is fraud.

@JamesTowle007 @Garrett_Archer If that were true, which likely isn’t, the second the first ballot is voted the second ballot is canceled

@Garrett_Archer Also, I know people in California that have had multiple ballots sent to them, this bothers me.

Oregon is 💯 ballot by mail we are about 90%

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elections officials in Oregon and Arizona are first to pledge legal challenges to new Trump voting order.

It’s hard to tell whether hypocrisy or incompetence will be the lasting legacy of the Trump 2.0 administration.

🚨Do you understand the irony of what just happened.. the FBI spent two years investigating Hillary Clinton for using a personal email for government work.. it dominated every news cycle.. it decided an election.. "lock her up.." the man they put in charge of the FBI.. just got his personal email hacked by Iran.. the DOJ confirmed it.. Iran-linked group "Handala" breached FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email and got his data.. think about the timing.. America has fired 850 Tomahawk missiles at Iran this month.. spent billions.. and Iran didn't fire back with a missile.. they walked through the front door of the FBI.. and here's what nobody wants to say out loud.. the FBI Director was using a personal email in the first place.. the same thing the FBI called a national security threat when Hillary did it.. the agency that decides what's a crime.. doesn't follow its own rules.. The rules only apply until you're the one making them.

@Whichwayisup5 @leovatf @BasedMikeLee Confirmed with county election official that yes it could be considered a new registration.
English
@Ryansmithaz @leovatf @BasedMikeLee Yeah, wasn’t hard. Not considered a new registration, they use the dorm to update any information changes. Address, political party, name, etc. all which can be done online or through the mail. No additional fee.
English
@Whichwayisup5 @leovatf @BasedMikeLee Yeah that’s what I said. I haven’t looked at the elections manual, but if there is any vagueness in the manual, a county recorder may interpret the change as a new registration under the SAVE Act.
English
@Whichwayisup5 @leovatf @BasedMikeLee In Arizona, you don’t submit a change of address form, you literally fill out the same registration form as if you are registering for the first time. It’s just processed on the back end. But who’s to say a county recorder won’t consider that as a new registration?
English
@Ryansmithaz @leovatf @BasedMikeLee It’s not “only to vote”. If you move within the state lines you submit a change of address form. A new registration is not required. Moving outside state lines it would be required bc voting reg is specific to the state. Just like a drivers license, employment records etc.
English
@Whichwayisup5 @leovatf @BasedMikeLee Depends on how you define registration… Some states consider change of addresses or party as a registration action. If that’s the case, I am a lifelong Arizona but registered 10 or so times.
English
@leovatf @BasedMikeLee She is wrong. Citizenship proof is needed when you first “register” to vote. Once established citizenship documentation is not required bc you showed proof during “registration”.
Answer this: How many times have you registered to vote in your life?

Those wheels you’re looking at are 0.75 millimeters thick. That’s half the thickness of a US dime. Each one was carved from a single block of aluminum, and NASA sent six of them to Mars knowing they’d eventually shred.
Curiosity was built for a 2-year mission. It landed in August 2012, and by December that year NASA had already extended the mission indefinitely. Thirteen years and 35.5 kilometers later, the rover is still going, but the wheels started cracking just 14 months in. The damage came faster than anyone at JPL predicted. Sharp embedded rocks were punching straight through the skin between the treads.
So NASA assembled a Wheel Wear Tiger Team (a crisis problem-solving tradition that goes back to Apollo 13) and got to work. In 2017, they uploaded a traction control algorithm from Earth that adjusts each wheel’s speed in real time based on the terrain, reducing force on the front wheels by 20%. They rerouted the rover to softer ground and started driving backward when possible, because pulling wheels over rocks produces less force than pushing them into rocks.
The wildest part: if enough treads snap off, Curiosity is designed to find a sharp rock on Mars and use it to deliberately rip out the damaged inner section of its own wheel. JPL tested this on a replica rover and found Curiosity can keep driving on just the outer third. They predict this won’t be needed until around 2034.
Every 1,000 meters, the rover pulls over and uses the camera on its robotic arm to photograph its own wheels so engineers on Earth can count every crack. Each wheel also has tiny holes that spell “JPL” in Morse code, which Curiosity uses to measure distance by photographing its own tracks in the dirt.
These photos directly changed the next rover. When NASA built Perseverance, engineers 3D-printed about 70 different tread designs before landing on 48 curved treads instead of Curiosity’s 24, with thicker skin. They tested the new wheels over 60 kilometers and got zero damage by Curiosity’s original failure definition. “A boring graph with no data on it,” as one JPL engineer put it.
A $2.5 billion machine doing self-surgery with rocks on another planet because the mission outlasted its design by 6x.

@Barstool_Sotey @kpottermn I work at an airport. Most airports use automated applications that ping cell phones to get an average time… Very few use actual real time updates because technology like that is very very expensive, and it’s very rare that we are faced with huge swings in times like this
English
@kpottermn Why can you go to the TSA or airport specific sites to find none of this to be real? Honest question……

Some of the worst TSA lines I’ve seen at major airports across the country on Sunday morning as the shutdown enters a sixth week.

I wonder if we can just get our administration to float really stupid ideas on Twitter. That way, when real experts-or even people with basic common sense-point out how stupid that idea is, then they can save us all from said stupidity.

Iranian oil has been sanctioned for many years. The 140 million barrels he is referring to are part of the "dark fleet" that has been shipping Iranian oil to Asia (mainly China) for years. Iran gets money for oil, and China buys it at a discount. So, this oil already exists in the world market. It doesn't matter who buys it, or under what scheme (sanctioned through a dark fleet or legitimate open market sale), as a barrel sold anywhere, for whatever reason, adds to world supply. To emphasize, these barrels are already part of the world supply. These barrels are not randomly floating in a tanker on some ocean (for years?), waiting for sanctions to be lifted before they can be sold and offloaded. By allowing oil to be unsanctioned, all Bessent is doing is allowing Iranian oil to be sold to places like Japan or South Korea. In other words, all he did was raise the price of Iranian oil because they now have more bidders. He just made Iran wealthier and did nothing for the price of crude oil.

Super believable that this South African living in Thailand loves America so much he’s made its politics his life.
Americans are being played by foreign agents and bots and we know it, but yet still somehow allow it.

@BarakRavid Can't you read. The money from the sale of the won't be going to Iran.

I’m always curious after appearances like this… Does their press secretary pat them on the back and tell them they did a great job, or are they honest and let them know that they looked like a complete buffoon a national television?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
COLLINS: Some people might say, why would you ease sanctions on a country that the US is currently at war with? REP. SCOTT PERRY: Do you think Iran is getting the check for that oil and get the money? COLLINS: Yes. That's what's happening

After President Trump claimed to reporters twice today that he had recently spoken to a former president who praised his actions in Iran, saying: “I wish I did what you did.” Aides to all four living presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have issued statements to CNN, saying there is no record of any communications between them and President Trump.

I completely support ending monetization on here immediately, and so should others. The combination of monetization, AI Slop, and Boomer Slop Facebook Style Posts are ruining the experience
A good idea in concept that needs to be scrapped immediately to save this place
Matt Walsh@MattWalshBlog
If they aren’t going to end the monetization program here, which I think they should, then at the very least they need to significantly raise the standard for who can monetize. The whole point of “revenue sharing” is that the people driving revenue should get a piece of it. But most of these engagement farmers and slop merchants aren’t really driving revenue. Nobody is coming to X to read their stuff. If it happens to pop up in your feed, maybe you interact with it. But their content is totally interchangeable. Just mindless filler. The more you incentivize and reward that kind of content, the more of it you get. They need to come up with a way to incentivize actual high quality content. If they can’t, the whole program should be scrapped.

This moment from February 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead. Perhaps he should have listened.
Zelenskyy: First of all, during the war, everybody has problems, even you. But you have nice ocean and don't feel now. But you will feel it in the future. God bless –
Trump: You don't know that. You don't know that. Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel.
Zelenskyy: I'm not telling you. I am answering on these questions.
Trump: Because you're in no position to dictate that.
Vance: That's exactly what you're doing.
Trump: You are in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good.
