If you haven't seen me for a while, it's because the algorithm is broken. My news feed has become oppositional defiant. For days now, all I've seen is libtard after libtard demanding all manner of weirdness, continuing to demand WORSE than what is already happening.

@SchwarzGretchen @AngelaBelcamino @goddek Nope. The faster this shit collapses, the better. The collapse is inevitable at this point. An "actual president" would just drag it out and make it hurt more and longer. You should change your Twitter handle to simply "Denial."

@CraigVecellio @AngelaBelcamino @goddek Like the overwhelming majority of US citizens, I would prefer that we had an actual president vs a wannabe stand-up comedian.

Trump saying “Praise be to Allah” in his Truth Social post might be his all-time best troll.

@SenWarren That $7 billion wouldn't even feed imaginary Somali children. That alone cost $9 billion.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

Elizabeth Warren says that $7 billion from Jeff Bezos could fund free insulin for everyone plus free lunches for Texas school kids The Somali community in Minnesota has stolen $9 billion from taxpayers since 2018 Don't say a word about any new taxes until you stop the fraud

@Russtophocles1 @SaltyGoat17 @contriteship89 Because when they come back, it's not their brothers in arms who are there to take care of them. It's the bureaucrats.

@SaltyGoat17 @contriteship89 If we’ll do that for two pilots, Then explain to me again why vets can’t get competent and real medical, mental and housing when they come back

IDIOTS: “You would do all of this for a single pilot?” US: “Since you had to ask, you’ll never know what I means to be an American”

@karol Bernie Sanders, and progressive liberals in the United States in general, have blown past Karl Marx into an ideology of such extreme collectivist authoritarianism that we don't have a name for it yet. Academics (those responsible for writing that book) are mostly communist.

A teen cousin showed me this in her AP American Government book. Trump is similar ideologically to Hitler and Bernie Sanders is a touch off the center to the left.

@karol LMAOOOOOOOOO Here, let me fix that for you:

Hot Take: The "Nuremberg Defense" should be completely legally valid because it was for the entirety of human history until the Nuremberg Trials. The idea that the average GI Joe has the knowledge and capability to parse the legality of orders in life-and-death situations is one of the best examples of how Liberalism simply does not comport with reality. Every lawyer knows this to be true, too. Ask any number of attorneys a question on a matter of law and if the question is worth a damn you'll get as many answers as participants. All good legal questions start with the same answer: "It depends." If you can't even get a team of attorneys to always agree on whether something is legal, with hours to days to weeks of research put into the question, why/how do you expect a normal joe to figure that out? You don't. He can't. You know that. You just want to inspire doubt, raise mutiny, and have a way to punish people who did things you don't like on the orders of someone out of your reach.

“That’s no moon,” says horrified Artemis II crew. More at 11.

@DoodlesTrks Their own? That takes scorched earth to the next level.

@CraigVecellio This isn't the same Iran is blowing up the others fields around them and the nat gas

But you understand when you take any amount of oil off line you have to replace it somewhere else otherwise guess what happens .the prices rise everywhere..its not just us its global...and it gets priced globally if someone is desperate and they will be and willing to pay 200..everyone pays 200.

Crazy idea: Let's split a country in socialist and capitalist halves and check in on them in 75 years.

HR: We lost the employee today. Manager: What happened? HR: He resigned immediately. Manager: Over a desktop background? HR: Yes. Manager: That makes no sense. It was a simple policy issue. HR: It was not simple to him. Manager: He changed the company wallpaper to a family photo at the beach. HR: Yes, and when I asked him why, he said it motivated him during long hours. Manager: Personal images dilute brand immersion. HR: It was a desktop background, not a public campaign. Manager: Rules are rules. Company devices should reflect company identity. HR: He told us it was not hurting anyone. Manager: That is why I reset it remotely and restored the company logo. HR: And then you updated his file with “potential loyalty drift.” Manager: I was documenting a concern. HR: He understood it differently. He felt the company had a problem with basic humanity. Manager: It was just a background. HR: Exactly. And if even that much personal space is treated like disloyalty, employees start to see what kind of culture they are in. Manager: How did he resign without a back up job? That's a red flag. HR: When employees leave without even having a backup job, it is usually a red flag about the company, not the employee.

外交における二枚舌は英国人に限ったことではない。いや。しかし、ヨーロッパの二枚舌、あるいは外交におけるいかなる二枚舌も、この規模のものは前例のないことだ。 例えて言うなら、何十年も前にあなたの家が焼失したと想像してほしい。親切な隣人はあなたのひどい状況を見て、すぐに駆けつけ助けに入り、その後80年にわたってあなたの家の再建を手伝い続けた。 その間、あなたの家はますます立派になっていく一方で、彼の家は変わらず同じままだった。 この間ずっと、あなたが元のレベルまで家を建て直せたのは彼の援助によるものだということは周知の事実だったが、彼は喜んで協力し続け、あなたが贅沢において彼を上回るようになっても、依然としてただ喜んで助けていた。 やがてあなたは彼の『貧乏な家』を眺めるようになり、なぜ自分はあのような下賤な隣人——自分よりはるかに格下の彼のような者——を我慢しなければならないのかと考えるようになった。彼がこの間ずっと金銭的にあなたを支え、あなたが家に住み続けられた唯一の理由だったというのに。 そこであなたは、今もあなたの家を修理し、良い状態に保っている彼の息子たちに向かって、彼らは愚かで、捨て駒のような、哀れな存在だと言い放つ。そして彼らに悲惨なことが起これば、平然と彼の面前で嘲笑する。 それで彼は去ることを決意する。するとあなたは、彼は最初からあなたの友人などではなかった、彼はあなたに恩があり、あなたは彼の没落を楽しみにしていると言うのだ。 これがまさに起こった通りか？ いいえ、比喩というものは常に疑わしいものだ…しかし、驚くほど近い。

Biggest "the kids are fucked" moment I've had recently was buying a car Walked into the dealership, told them what I wanted and said I'd pay up-front. Expected them to be thrilled Instead they were horrified. Spent the next 20 minutes trying to get me to finance it at some absurd rate Got me curious so after I left I read about car sale profit models. Apparently most US dealerships make more financing now than from the cars themselves I was such a boomer I assumed they'd want CASH In reality they want your ETERNAL SLAVERY at 19% APR

@Freedom2speak17 @ManaByte You talk a lot of shit for an AI chatbot.

NASA says some of the Apollo landing sites will be visible at the very beginning of the Artemis II lunar flyby on Monday. They’ll say exactly what ones in the daily briefing tomorrow. That means moon landing deniers are going to have real bad day on Monday.
