@Acyn But that’s not at all what Trump said. Trump said he posted a picture of himself as a Red Cross worker and only the fake news could make it out to be anything else.

BAIER: I wonder as a catholic how you consider this picture which a lot of people took as the president posting a picture of himself as Jesus? VANCE: I think the president was posting a joke and, of course, he took it down because he recognized that a lot of people weren't understanding his humor in that case

@MaxAbrahms Maybe. But also we really have not had a clear, consistent (and consistent with the facts), rationale for this war and why it’s worth the sacrifice from this administration.

It’s almost impossible to win a war any more given the disgustingness of today’s information space between American grifters, social media incentives for disinformation-fueled clicks and nefarious foreign influences posing as America First.

The main takeaway from the Iran war is that American domestic politics is the greatest impediment to US military success. Our military put on a clinic but American constituencies have done everything possible to prevent a win. China is smiling watching America’s pundit imbeciles.

@briebriejoy @LibyaLiberty Why isn’t there a similar push to get republicans to stop bad and unpopular policies? The question wasn’t why were Biden/Harris protested, it was why isn’t Trump being protested?? If protest is a tool to stop bad policy, I’d expect to see plenty of protests now.

The liberal mind’s inability to grasp that protesting Dems isn’t intended to abstractly hurt them/help Republicans, but to push them to stop bad and unpopular policies like genocide, will never cease to amaze me. The tactic isn’t “make Trump win.” It’s “pressure Biden/Harris to adopt a policy that is fundamentally moral AND would make him more electable.” Harris could’ve won but she chose to prioritize Israeli apartheid.

@Acyn So by that logic, if the regime changes, peacefully or otherwise, “a whole civilization” has ended?

Hewitt: Anyone in the US who read “the civilization to be destroyed” as the whole people of Iran is acting in bad faith… So people can act in bad faith. The president didn't. He was threatening the regime. They got the message. They begged for the ceasefire.

Trump: Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

@raptorsrepublic No chance we’re beating the Knicks

4 games to go. Can the Raps finish this stretch 4-0? #WeTheNorth 📸: Petre Thomas

@Acyn Boy, we got some fucking nerve dictating what currency extortion needs to happen in.

Graham: They’re charging ships to go through the strait and they’re taking the Yuan and not the Dollar. That’s an attack on the Dollar. That needs to end.

@atrupar Ummm… how many people did we kill in showing the value we place on life?

Rep. Mike Haridopolos credits the US military for "showing the value we place on life" in Iran

@JLew1050 No chance Raps win. Shoulda taken care of business against the Kings.

Big one for the Raptors today. They're half-game up on Philly for 6th, with a game in hand. Celtics come in fully healthy, 11-2 with Tatum active and are still trying to hold off NY for 2nd. The team no one should want to see in the playoffs (another good reason to avoid play-in)

@GregBerge I mean streaking naked would also have taken the focus away from his players losing, wouldn’t place it beyond criticism

The reality? This wasn't about a handshake. This was about Geno protecting his players. He was turning the focus away from his players, who just lost an undefeated season. He did not want them to get blasted by the media. So he took it on himself. It's happened before.

@sjs856 @notcapnamerica And he cusses sometimes

Nigga said Steph Curry not a real Christian cause he doesn’t hate LGBTQ people. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

@Kevindatrucker1 @YahooSports Y’all don’t view women as having value beyond their looks and body?

@YahooSports There’s no way Bam can get any women in Miami and he’s going with A’ja Wilson. He’s got 100 mill so it’s not because of her money..

A'ja Wilson is courtside with Bam Adebayo before the 76ers-Heat game ❤️‍🔥

@ColinPClarke In Trump’s defense….he’s a massive liar. Trump saying “nobody knew Iran would attack the strait of Hormuz or neighboring countries” doesn’t actually mean nobody or even that he didn’t know those things. It’s simply the answer that he feel makes him look the best.

Putting aside the question of whether the U.S. should have joined Israel in attacking Iran, one of the hardest parts of watching setbacks with how the war is unfolding is that the entire US NatSec community has wargamed this scenario for decades. We knew the risks & enemy COAs.

@nylawho1 Will you accept compliments tho? 😅

I don’t really get it when people think I care about their opinion on how much muscle I chose to adorn my body with.. I’m literally not you , I’m me. Like im being so FR rn bro.. I’m the one who has to live in here.…it’s my consciousness piloting this body. Let me be😅.

@briebriejoy I take your point generally but I’m pretty sure I could name 3 countries going back to early elementary school. That ain’t about being young. I wouldn’t put that on all women though.

"There is a weird parallel between [the Manosphere &] the way this kind of progressive culture of wanting to be inclusive, of wanting to respect everybody's kinds of lifestyles, including polyamory, of Lindy [West] wanting to defer to her husband as a Black man, saying that 'monogamy is sort of like slavery, actually, if you think about it, and it's sort of like colonialism if you think about it,' to manipulate people into dynamics they don't want to be a part of." youtube.com/watch?v=6RH_d-…

@HaterReport Can’t do nothing about that.

Bruh

@axios @GavinNewsom @AlexThomp Is he saying “on goal” instead of “own goal”?

💥 Gavin Newsom tells @AlexThomp on the next episode of The Axios Show that Elon Musk is "one of the great disappointments." "He is going to allow the greatest own goal...He is ceding the EV space to China."

@BookitWithTrent You can luck into making contact. Unlikely but possible. I don’t know how you’d luck into blocking Garrett. He’s driving straight through the average person’s chest and there’s not a damn thing they could do about it.

Would you say the average person has a better chance of attempting to block Myles Garrett given 20 attempts or making fair contact off Paul Skenes on 20 pitches?

@atrupar We got moon base money now??

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman: "We're gonna build President Trump's moon base"

@HaterReport They’re still on the team is hilarious!

AJ Dybansta describes his love life in basketball terms: “Right now it’s a little rough…I’m in full rebuild mode right now…I’m actually tanking” Bro going through it 😭💀
