Let’s be honest about what we’re watching here. 🇺🇸 330 million people, the country that put men on the moon, defeated the Nazis is now sitting on its sofa watching its president post crayon drawings of Venezuela with an American flag on it. At least the Russians who oppose Putin have a reasonable excuse not to speak up. Siberia is cold and windows are tall. At least North Koreans can point to the very real possibility of their entire extended family being relocated to a concrete box with no heating. These are legitimate barriers to civic engagement. What’s America’s excuse? You can vote. You can protest. You can run for office. Nobody is sending you to a gulag. The worst thing that happens is someone calls you a name on Truth Social. And yet, there you all sit, 330 million of you, watching a man who cannot spell “Venezuela” claim it as American territory, while nodding along like this is a completely normal thing for a head of state to do. No dictator in modern history has done more damage to the prestige of a country’s highest office than this man, and he’s done it entirely voluntarily, with access to the full resources of the American government, and a communications team that apparently just lets him post whatever falls out of his head before breakfast. Kim Jong-un, for all his considerable faults, has never once posted a map with a flag on it and called it foreign policy. Think about that. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@Housedad3 @Steven_Swinford If, say, 85% of voters chose leave then we'd be justified in demanding a "harder" Brexit. In this instance, we've got exactly what the nation voted for.

@Housedad3 @Steven_Swinford The problem is we DO have a Brexit that fits the will of the people. However anyone chooses to massage the figures, barely more than half of the voters wanted out. So we have a Brexit that tries to suit both sides and sits in a sort of no mans land.

Keir Starmer says that Nigel Farage is a 'grifter and a chancer' who 'took us for a ride' on Brexit and then walked away 'I want to remind you what Nigel Farage said about Brexit. 'He said it would make us richer. Wrong. It made us poorer. 'He said it would reduce migration. Wrong. Migration went through the roof. 'He said it would make us more secure. Wrong again. 'He just fled the scene and now he will talk about almost anything other the consequences of what they delivered. He is not just a grifter, he's a chancer'

@tandemar Kieran is to gaming history what Harold Shipman was to medicine. Manipulative, deceitful,in it purely for their own gain, and utter, utter bastards. At least Shipman put in some hard graft to reach that point I suppose.

A "gaming historian" should be impartial, open-minded and have no bias whatsoever. Hawken here shows how truly stupid he is. Yes, I know preference is a thing, but....

@LauraLoomer Someone's got to represent the US abroad, that isn't a complete embarrassment to the nation.

Why is Barack Hussein Obama meeting with world leaders while President Trump is in office? This is a coup.

@tandemar Did he say they own the *Jane Pond* name? Hard to tell what he's going on about when he sounds bunged up all the time.

Looks like Kieren along with many sites has got the wrong end of the stick. Never let facts get in the way of a good story. Danjaq own the Bond IP? That's not what it says here. thejamesbonddossier.com/news/london-op…

@WhiteHouse This aged like milk. Literally front page news right now.....

The Strait of Hormuz is COMPLETELY OPEN AND READY FOR BUSINESS!

@nicksortor Almost like NATO is a defensive organisation, not an army for hire 🤔

🚨 LMAO! President Trump says NATO just called him offering to help with the Strait of Hormuz — MINUTES AFTER he and the Iranians announced its full reopening And President Trump told them to GET LOST 🤣 What a USELESS organization “Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would need some help. I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL. They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger!”

@MehekCooke ... conveniently avoiding the fact that it was Trump that caused the waterway to be closed in the first place 😂

Every foreign policy genius who spent a decade collecting paychecks to tell us Iran was untouchable just watched a real estate developer from Queens reopen the waterway that moves a third of the world's oil. The credential class should be embarrassed into silence.

@WhiteHouse Is he gone? 😮

A GREAT DAY FOR THE WORLD!

@StateDept The stupid prick still doesn't get that NATO is a defensive organisation, not an army for hire 🙄

PRESIDENT TRUMP: We spent trillions of dollars in NATO, but when I asked them to get involved in a smaller situation, they weren’t there for us. None of them. I don’t think NATO would be there for us in a larger skirmish, and therefore I think they’ve got themselves a problem.

@tatereeves As we say to the doctors that treat us in hospitals in the UK "thank you". Or as you say in Mississippi, "How the hell am I going to pay for all that, I don't have 85 thousand dollars and my insurance only covers part of that. Let me speak to my bank and try and arrange a loan"

As we say in Mississippi, “Bless Your Heart.” Or as you say in the UK, “As-Salamu Alaykum.”

@DominicMcGregor "The average person on the UK, on £50,000 is less well off than your average Mississippi swamp dweller.”.... 😂 Until they set foot in a hospital, at which point every patient would get a real lesson in the cost of living in the US.

If the UK joined the US as the 51st state. We would be the poorest state in the entire union. Mississippi which is portrayed at swamp dwelling hillbillies in majority of international media is above us. I don’t think people grasp how far we’ve fallen in real terms when it comes to GDP per capita. We’ve seen no growth for almost an entire generations. We’ve seen our productivity decrease and our tax increases. The average person on the UK, on £50,000 is less well off than your average Mississippi swamp dweller.

@HarmlessHQ The net result is the same. Ships can't navigate the Strait, the cost of oil goes up, and many economies are essentially being held to ransom. It's just happening under a different flag. It's not really the win you think it is, you're just a different type of bad guy.

You see the difference between the US and Iran. The US put in a blockade at the Strait of Hormuz and the only punishment for violating it would be capture and detaining of the erring ship. Meanwhile, at Iran's blockade, once any ship violates it, the ship would be set ablaze not minding the fact that most of these ships are civilian vessels. That was how they targeted and blew up a Thai ship for just entering the Strait. We know the good guy. We know the bad guy.

@PressSec So just to be clear... Iran blocking ships from using the Strait and so holding the world to ransom = bad, but the US blocking ships from using the Strait and so holding the world to ransom = ??? what, exactly? Is this what winning looks like?

President Trump brilliantly calls Iran’s bluff — with his own Strait of Hormuz blockade nypost.com/2026/04/12/opi…

@EricLDaugh ...and how much has Trump used his presidency to increase his personal net worth compared to other presidents? I'll wager he tops that list by a long chalk!

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump is infuriating the Democrats by CONFIRMING he takes a $0 DOLLAR salary, compared to other presidents He just loves America 🇺🇸🇺🇸

@TheBuckYouWill @katyperry So fact checking this would appear to show there's no supporting evidence to this claim. However Trump has literally paid off a porn star to keep quiet about an affair that happened right after his current wife had given birth. Your move....

HEY @KATYPERRY, REMEMBER? Remember when Donald Trump had sex with an underage student then had to leave his teaching post, make the student sign an NDA, and then pay the family nearly $3M in hush money to stay quiet? Neither do I, because that was Justin Trudeau. BUT HE’S A LIBERAL, SO IT’S FINE.

@BoLoudon Now do a list of how much those Presidents have increased their personal wealth as a direct result of being President........

Here's the total amount of taxpayer $ the past 10 Presidents took as salary: Trump: $0.00 Biden: $1.6 Million Obama: $3.2 Million W Bush: $3.2 Million Clinton: $1.6 million HW Bush: $800K Reagan: $1.6 Million Carter: $800K Ford: $500K Nixon: $1.1 Million

@tandemar Why pick on people that just want to make a few pounds? Because those people are lying, plagiarising or simply playing the victim in order to appear relevant and knowledgeable. Fortunately people like @tandemar and @codetapper see through the facade and are calling them out.

As predicted, he can't do a podcast of his own so diverts to mine in his trademark lazy-arsed Lutonesque way. "The evidence is online." "I have proved my innocence." And other cliched and woefully empty statements. #kierenhawken #jaguarbeast78
