@debunkdafunk @johnkonrad The USA tax payer basically funds all of NATO. That is money coming out of my paycheck so Europe can provide insane amount of social benefits while shitting on us. Americans can shit on Trump. He is ours to shit on. You can, but expect us to take it personal

@CWayneIII @Lance91111 @johnkonrad I'm amazed you are trying to justify breaking up NATO over a blow up version of Trump. He's a devisive political character. Do you expect everyone to like him? Is his skin that thin?

“It will hurt America’s economy too” Dear Europe: Most Americans love you. Most Americans don’t care how you govern yourselves. Most Americans (especially the center and left) don’t even care that our taxes pay for your security. I warned a year or two ago that Americans will shrug off insults for years and just roll our eyes…. until we don’t. That’s how the American psyche works. We don’t care until we do. Then we all get pissed off at once and do something irrational. I don’t know why. It just is. The entire left and big portions of the right aren’t pleased that we hit Iran. Many would agree with the points you’re making. But at the end of the day, we are Americans. We will give you a long leash, but when it runs out, we jerk the chain back hard. NOBODY wants the Strait of Hormuz to remain shut. Nobody, or at least very few, want Europeans to suffer a massive energy crisis. But frankly, we are fed up with the rhetoric. And if you don’t think we’ll cut off our nose to spite our face, you don’t know Americans at all. You can push and jeer and mock and scorn us for years, even decades. But when Americans snap, it will happen quickly and without warning. And we are very close to the breaking point.

@debunkdafunk @Lance91111 @johnkonrad Maybe calling our elected president who got the popular vote a toddler. That insults all Americans who voted for him. You carried bizarre looking blowup models of Trump when he visited Europe. We helped with our blood for a century to help Europe and you shit on us

@Lance91111 @johnkonrad When have Europeans trashed you? Wh j we told you no to taking the land of an ally? When we said it was wrong to invade a sovereign nation just because Israel told you to? When we reminded you that NATO isn't Trump's personal war machine? Be specific, if you can.

@philthatremains @FoggyMoment @mattxiv If Trump acted like Lincoln, there would be many people in jail including many in media, anti-war protesters, etc. Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus. If Trump acted like Lincoln, he’d have shut down CNN

@FoggyMoment @mattxiv if you believe this is a gotcha you’re far too historically illiterate to engage with.

and this is why education is important because the republican party under donald trump and the republican party under abraham lincoln are two very different things

@DaleStarkA10 @philthatremains Re-engine them like the AF is doing with the B52. Cheap solution to keep them running for decades

@philthatremains With new engines you could keep them flying for a long time. The jets were relatively recently rewinged and have a lot of life left in them.

@eds8010504 @WBTVSteveO @trwsenti Don’t live in expensive cities. Tons of great jobs in cheaper areas of the country

@WBTVSteveO @trwsenti Rents are ridiculously high this days . In a not so nice neighborhood in NYC - $2000 for one bedroom in a basement. Each situation it is different. We cannot generalize. The bottom line everything added makes the living a struggle.

$65,000/year sounds great until you do the maths. $14,300 federal tax $4,970 state tax $4,973 FICA $18,000 rent $7,200 car + insurance $6,000 food $1,800 phone + wifi $2,400 utilities Left over: $5,357/year. That's $446/month to "build your future."

@Bitcoin_Teddy Eggs aren’t $10 and rent isn’t $3200. We can agree Gen Z has it harder without lying about the situation.

Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.” No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay $3200 for rent and $10 for eggs. You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.

@vinyarddennis97 @aking1023 @jakeshieldsajj @SpencerHakimian Not everything and every decision is Israel. Iran has killed hundreds of Americans in the last 50 years. Taking out Iran has been generally popular in the USA on both parties.

@aking1023 @jakeshieldsajj @SpencerHakimian The kind who wants Americans to live for America, not die for Israel.

I have a serious question. Explain it to me like I’m 5. The U.S. Navy isn’t able to eliminate Iran’s ability to complete blockade a 10 mile wide strait? You’re telling me that anybody with access to a couple hundred unmanned drones and a few dozen sea mines can outmatch the entire US Navy?

@michaelhitack I am English and Scottish ethnicity with a dash of German. My question is with the Norman invasion of England, there is a lot of French mixed in the English also so why isn’t it in Tier 1?

Ethnic Hierarchy: Tier 1 English, German, Irish, Scottish, Nordic Tier 2 Polish, French, Serbian, Russian, Lithuanian, Northern Italian, Croatian Tier 3 Latvian, Estonian, Romanian Tier 4 Southern Italian Tier 5 Spanish

@odinslament @CoreyJMahler I was very surprised by that honestly.

@CoreyJMahler Goerring higher than Speer by such a margin is fascinating

A reminder: These are their scores after being sleep deprived, endlessly interrogated, and tortured. The leadership of the Third Reich was filled with literal geniuses.

@GarapatPiletera @romanhelmetguy Yeah but most Americans, probably the ones you all want to call this, don’t care at all. You think of us and we don’t think of you

@romanhelmetguy They often say "you're a tool" to refer to a fool. So I guess "you're a weapon" can be translated to something akin to "you're a BIG TOOL OF WAR YOU DINGUS"

Brits are terrible at insults now. Someone called me a “weapon,” which from context clues I gathered was intended to be demeaning, but to an American (we’re actually allowed to own weapons btw) sounds like the coolest thing ever.

@Linklevosstwins @romanhelmetguy Based on USA war games, the sooner the USA reacts, the better. The problem for China is if they want to remove USA from the area, they need kinetic attacks of USA bases in Japan and South Korea

Why would America fight a war with China and the Pacific? America will never go to war with China over Taiwan. There’s absolutely no need to and no American would support that so long as we have our own Chip fab shops stood up, which we are doing now. The first thing we’re doing when China makes a move is evacuating all of the lithography chip machines out of Taiwan…there’s absolutely no reason for an American soldier to die for Taiwanese people. So what reason do you envision America going to war with the Chinese over?

If the USA fights a war in the Pacific with China, would European countries send troops?

@rukky_nate ETFs and a Rolex

You’re given $2m. You have 20 minutes to spend it. You can’t spend it on cars, airplanes, yacht or a house. You can’t spend it on golds or diamonds either. What will you buy?

@CraigWilly06 @DrJStrategy That’s why

Why is the EU willing to risk a trade war with the United States over a self‑governing Danish colony that sits in the Western Hemisphere and is not even part of the European Union?

@AntiTrumpCanada Can’t imagine not being proud to say I’m American. Who cares who the president is

Dear Europeans, Many American tourists visiting your continent are now saying they’re from Canada, for obvious reasons. Verify by asking 3 simple questions: - What’s in poutine - What does “KD” stand for, and - At what temperature (in Celsius) do shorts become unacceptable? 🇨🇦

@MikkoPartanen1 @NomadWireless2 @JakobSkouboe China has tried to like Chinese companies building airports and mining projects. Russia is heavily militarizing the artic, not directly Greenland. Acting like this is just Trump is ridiculous

@NomadWireless2 @JakobSkouboe Do you really believe in the bullshit that Trump comes up with?

Americans: Ask yourself. How would the American people react if Denmark offered the people of Hawaii the opportunity to leave the US and become part of our much better welfare system?

@flyingfruitkno1 @paleochristcon Actually this would be the most beneficial to Americans in a long time. Venezuela is in our hemisphere and we should accept China and Russian puppets in charge. Plus they are oil rich.

@paleochristcon This war has no benefit for Americans and will destabilize the Venezuelan government, leading to more migration. The US is bombing Venezuela to take heat off the Epstein debacle, and because Israel hates the Maduro government. More war, more debt your children will have to pay

Gonna be an unpopular opinion but I am still a fan of my nation killing communists.

@Will_Tanner_1 I always wear a diver no matter the attire

Gentlemen: If you’re going to a black tie event for New Year’s Eve tonight, remember that its a faux pas to wear a watch (whether with a metal or leather band) with black tie Those who know will notice. Leave the watch at home 🥂

@TitusVeronicus @CynicalPublius @HMBohemond Casualty numbers are not a good predictor. Everyone knows the Russians /soviets just throw bodies at it. The whole argument is dumb. Many countries did a lot. The USA and Soviet’s became the world superpowers so that is why they get the credit. UK faded in relevance

The United States in WW2 fought a war on three fronts: Central Europe Southern Europe The Pacific They did this while making continuous advances, all while engaging in Lend Lease with their allies and arming rebellions in Nazi held territory. Russia likes to claim they "won" because they got in a lucky last minute sucker punch against a beaten, demoralized enemy at Berlin. But they spent the whole war on the turnbuckle while America fought three enemies one handed while buying lunch for their tag team members. The United States won World War 2. Any other opinion is midwit cope by people who get their history from the History Channel.

@SandyofCthulhu P51 or Spitfire. Both beautiful fighters. B-29 though was epic

Every man worth his salt has a favorite WW2 plane. It’s okay if it changes as you get older. What’s yours?

@YvonneMeidling1 @Katalyst_Off @JennyParker83 Nope. The general statement is correct. People are too divorce happy and worried about being “happy” than doing the right and moral thing. Outliers exist but the general statement is correct

@CWayneIII @Katalyst_Off @JennyParker83 Or, we could just agree not to make sweeping statements and take each situation on its own merit?

First Christmas after my divorce and I'm wearing the swimsuit I was never allowed to wear, how's it looking at 42?
