🚨BREAKING The Knights Templar Order and its ruling Council demand that this offensive and blasphemous image be removed forthwith ! We supported President Trump in 2016 and 2024 (NY Times attributed our support in 2016 to be part of his victory) However we are deeply offended by this and have no other choice but to condemn it wholeheartedly and ask for a public apology to the Christian brethren who have been deeply upset by this depiction. We respectfully remend President Trump of the Bible Scripture found in Galatians 6:7 "God will not be mocked"

@MikeCarlton01 I think Tony needs the same tests as DJT

Christ, he’s been into the onions again…🥸. Orbán was a corrupt thug, a kleptocrat and Putin puppet.

@GuntherEagleman Trump is the sick man

🚨 President Trump just posted this powerful painting on Truth Social. Trump stands radiant in a red robe, laying hands on a sick man while surrounded by American symbols, the flag, eagles, fighter jets, the Statue of Liberty, and everyday heroes.

@stevesi Apply - see if they offer you the interview

What do folks think? (name redacted because they used a real person)

@FrankLuntz 21 hours into a 21 day process the US delegation quits A bit impatient?

VP Vance says no deal has been reached with Iran after 21 hours of negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan: “We just could not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing to accept our terms.”

@Acyn 21 hours ? I thought the process was going to take 21 days !

Vance: We have not reached an agreement. They have chosen not to accept our terms.

@WhiteHouse The POTUS doesn’t understand that oil is $100 a barrel

"The Iranians don’t seem to realize they have no cards..." - President Donald J. Trump

@dmunjal @marqoz @Microinteracti1 The problem is that the current administration is not giving assurances or guarantees but actively supporting the Russians. And the Russians have broken most of their assurances and guarantees Let’s not split hairs when there’s a bad actor causing the problem

@marqoz @1stLeighton @Microinteracti1 "Assurances" not "Guarantees"

Karoline Leavitt: “They were tested and they failed.” Here’s the thing about NATO that apparently needs explaining to the most powerful government on earth: it is not a taxi. You do not ring NATO. You do not place an order. You do not specify delivery within 72 hours and then stand in the Rose Garden bewildered that nothing has turned up. NATO is a collective defence alliance built on the radical concept that its members are, in fact, members, with votes and opinions and sovereign militaries they get to deploy according to their own national interests. This is written down. It has been written down since 1949. The documents are available in English. Nobody in this administration has read them. Let’s go back to Greenland for a moment, because this is apparently where the rot set in. Trump wanted Greenland. Just wanted it. Asked if he could have it. Was told no, it belongs to Denmark, which is a NATO ally, which means the whole thing was always going to be diplomatically awkward at best and catastrophically self-defeating at worst. His response was not to reflect on this. His response was to decide that NATO was a large problem. An alliance of thirty-two nations that has kept the peace in Europe for seventy-five years was, in his assessment, getting in the way of his property acquisition. This tells you everything you need to know about how the man thinks. And it tells you everything about who he hired to think alongside him. Every serious leader in history, every CEO worth the title, every general who ever won anything, has operated on the same basic principle: hire people smarter than yourself. Steve Jobs did it. Churchill did it. Every remotely competent executive who ever ran anything of consequence understood that your job is not to be the cleverest person in the building. Your job is to find the cleverest people in the building and then get out of their way. Surround yourself with people who will tell you when you’re wrong. Who know things you don’t. Who have read the documents.Trump inverted this entirely. A cabinet selected not for expertise but for loyalty. Not for knowledge but for the willingness to perform agreement. Pete Hegseth at Defence. A communications team that announces things with confidence at a ratio entirely disconnected from understanding. An administration where the qualification for the job was, essentially, never making the man at the top feel inadequate. The outcome of this philosophy is Karoline Leavitt at a podium reading four words as though she had just solved something. Delivered with the serene confidence of someone who has never had to sit in a room and actually work out what NATO is, how it functions, why it was built, or what the word collective means in the context of collective defence. They were tested and they failed. Europe is not shaking its fist. Europe is shaking its head. Slowly. Wearily. In the way you do when you’ve explained something seventeen times and the person across the table still hasn’t got it and you’ve finally accepted that they never will. The allies are building their own defence architecture now, with people in the room who have read the documents. They stopped waiting for Washington to grow into the role some time ago. And somewhere in all of this, Greenland is still Danish. Still will be tomorrow. NATO is still an alliance of sovereign nations who get to say no. Still will be next week. And the White House is still staffed by people who find both of these facts baffling. Some things don’t change just because you haven’t understood them.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​ Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

@campbellclaret Although the other theory is that FLOTUS is getting ahead of some shocking revelations

Am I the only one to be a tad suspicious that the Iran war was started to get Epstein out of the headlines, and now they’re using Epstein to get the Iran war fiasco out of the headlines?

@Peter_Fitz @Darkdarling00 20/20 I would add Sent a Telex Accessed the internet by removing the skirting board in a Vietnamese hotel Used punched cards/cassette tape for storing computer code and data

@Darkdarling00 19

7 for me!!….I feel confident nobody Has all 20!! How many for you?🤔

They’re blatant about it now. Shameless. Vicious. Criminal.

@dmunjal @Microinteracti1 1994 Budapest Memorandum

@1stLeighton @Microinteracti1 Where was Ukraine documented?

@dmunjal @Microinteracti1 As we are finding out with Iran - if it’s not documented then it isn’t agreed. US has agreed to protect Ukraine- and has reneged

@1stLeighton @Microinteracti1 The "one inch" comment was made to Gorbachev by James Baker after the Soviet Union fell. The US committed to not expanding NATO into Eastern Europe. Which they did. This article is about Ukraine entering NATO upsetting Putin.

@dmunjal @Microinteracti1 That appears to apply to East Germany

@1stLeighton @Microinteracti1 What is your opinion on the US commitment not to expand NATO "one inch" by James Baker? I'm sure Russia hasn't been happy with the encroachment into Easter Europe over the last 20 years. Ukraine entering NATO was their last straw. reuters.com/world/europe/u…

@RUKWales Reintroducing the Laws in Wales Acts of 1535 and 1542 is a fresh start?

Plaid have kept Labour in power in Cardiff Bay for a generation. The only party offering a fresh start for Wales on May 7 is Reform.

@dmunjal @Microinteracti1 4 - when USSR collapsed Ukraine had nearly 2000 nukes. 5 - USA/UK/Russia convinced Ukraine to remove the nuclear weapons for defense guarantees and border sovereignty Summary- the USA is on the hook because they promised to have Ukraine’s back if the Russians invaded #failed

@dmunjal @Microinteracti1 1 - NATO is not involved in Ukraine- it is not a member and article 5 does not apply. 2 - Ukraine wants to join NATO- but Russia is against that- part of the tension between the two countries 3 - some NATO countries support Ukraine- but as a coalition 1/2

@RonniSalt Has PVO written a support piece yet ?

The rapist known as Bruce Lehrmann has exhausted all legal possibilities in his defamation claim He also faces court in QLD on 2 charges of rape, (trial around early Nov this year) Remember his cheer squads? Strange how quickly they've all moved on . abc.net.au/news/2026-04-0…

Algos are so so so so dumb. You click on an ad in FB Marketplace for a Coffee table And the algo thinks you're obsessed with coffee tables and have no interest in anything else, for 2 weeks. Everything becomes a coffee table It's not how humans work
