Once the US has developed chip manufacturing in the US... why would the whole US population go to war against China Tawain should compensate Americans for such a crazy level of protection These old frameworks are failing, the world wants the US to fight their wars. That's over

@ggreenwald No it hasn't been called that historically. They are residents in their own territory, with their own government and armed forces. Ridiculous post.

This has historically been referred to as a "concentration camp."

What do you get when you board a ship intended to invade a sovereign country during war time and attempt to provide aid and comfort to their enemies ? I'll tell you what you get - you get what you fucking deserve

Jeff Bezos Responds to Seattle Officials After Leaving For Miami Over Wealth Tax Seattle’s political elite may have just received the most devastating financial reality check in modern city history after Jeff Bezos quietly confirmed that Washington’s aggressive new tax structure played a major role in his decision to flee to Florida, a move that reportedly saved the Amazon founder close to $1 billion while leaving Seattle staring at a collapsing revenue model built around billionaires who can leave faster than lawmakers can pass another tax bill. What makes the situation even more humiliating for city leaders is that Bezos did not scream, threaten, or launch some dramatic billionaire rebellion against Mayor Katie Wilson after she publicly laughed, waved “bye,” and dismissed concerns about wealthy residents leaving the city. Instead, he simply ran the numbers, changed his address to Miami, sold billions in Amazon stock, and calmly pointed out that the tax revenue Washington expected from him no longer exists because he no longer lives there. “Apparently, telling the richest man connected to your city that he’s irrelevant works slightly worse when he takes half your projected tax model with him.” As Starbucks founder Howard Schultz escapes to a $44 million Florida penthouse, Amazon shifts workers out of Seattle, downtown vacancy rates explode, and lawmakers double down on even higher millionaire taxes despite a near 50% drop in capital gains revenue within a single year, critics are now warning that Seattle may have become the most terrifying live experiment in America showing what happens when ideological politics collides headfirst with economic math and the people funding the system quietly walk away. “Seattle’s $1B mistake revealed 👇”

A Muslim preacher in the UK just declared that Christianity is an “Islamophobia hate crime” and that Muslims are offended by Christmas celebrations. He suggested that Christmas should be banned because it’s “oppressive” to Muslims. This is the same ideology that demands endless tolerance from the West while showing zero tolerance toward Western and Christian traditions. This isn’t coexistence. This is cultural conquest. What’s your response to him?

> mayor uses taxpayer dollars to purchase 1000 tickets > city sells tickets for significantly below market price > people lucky enough to get tickets re-sell them in black market at 10x markup > the tickets are for a soccer tournament > literally textbook socialism

@CactusCuddler17 No.

Lmao. Did he say the quiet part out loud?

@jjabbott Not the government's decision, duh

Presidents have been releasing their tax returns for decades. It didn’t harm any of them. How would leaking his tax returns destroy Trump … unless he was doing something illegal or shady?

@MilenaAmit He doesn't worry because he knows how strong the US economy is, duh

Yes, Trump is popular in Israel. The quesion is how his popularity overseas translates to making life more affordable for Americans...? Oh, it doesn't. Not by any measure, so believe him when he tells you he doesn't worry about Americans' financial situations at all.

@Angry_Staffer Is the war over? lol We can revisit any weapons program and leadership anytime we want. Why are you panicking and flaking out. The goal was leadership and nuclear enrichment program. We can just keep setting those back as needed.

This is what I’ve been talking about - the IC assesses that Iran could have a fully reconstituted drone program in 6 months. They still have 60-70% of their missiles and launchers. This war accomplished little, and it taught Iran they can close the Strait anytime they want.

@AhmedBaba_ Damn POTUS did a hella job with the border, deportations, and illegal crossing deterrence. And loved watching POTUS blow those drug boats out of the water.

The exact opposite of this is true. Trump’s second term has been defined by his worst impulses being unleashed after the guardrails that restrained them in his first term were systematically targeted.

@kanapolotos @anders_aslund We cut the balls off Iran's leadership. Stopped the progress of their nuclear enrichment program. Definitely, worth it. Iran with nukes would cost the whole region, Europe and the US a lot more. They have been at war with the US for decades. It was time.

@anders_aslund To what avail did he lose 42 planes???

How come that this has not been top news for many days?!

"We have to make clear that when the boot of the NYPD is on your neck, it's been laced by the IDF." And we wonder why antisemitism and extremism are absolutely out of control in places like New York City.

@NYCMayor 1000, lol

1,000 World Cup tickets. $50 each. All for New Yorkers. We fought hard to make the people’s game available to the people — and won. Let the summer of soccer begin.

The EU are looking for any reason to sanction us. Hungary is no longer an ally. Germany is not an ally. If we execute a single terrorist who murders our people based upon the new law passed and ratified by the Knesset, the EU have said they will sanction us. We cannot live with a gun to our heads no matter what the consequences mean. We are either a sovereign state or we are not. The EU have no issue with China or Saudi or Egypt or anyone else executing the worst criminals. Yet all of a sudden it’s a huge issue if we do it. I’m sick of the threats. I’m sick of the double standards and the impossible expectations. And we are the ones guilty of pandering to it and allowing it. In the meantime universities across Europe and even the US cut israel off just because we exist. And nobody says or does anything. Our biggest voices on X with billions behind them say and do nothing because they don’t have a testicle between them. What is it that needs to happen exactly before people get it? Another Holocaust? Well don’t worry, that is pretty close to happening very soon. But get, it’s ok because at least the EU will be happy, right?

@Brendawendwhite @JackPosobiec Gotcha.

I was just comparing the way people say the US is so patriotic the way we fly flags and honor military. Since this song became controversial I was mentioning that it was a statement on keeping their culture alive. They may be more patriotic than they say Americans are. Nothing more. 😊

Croatia has stormed the Eurovision final with a historic anthem that denounces the Ottoman occupation and revives the ancient Christian tattoo tradition to protect young girls from rape Performed entirely in Croatian, the song slams centuries of Islamic Turkish occupation of their lands and recalls how Catholic girls were tattooed with Christian motifs to stop them from being abducted, converted to Islam, and forced into sexual slavery "That’s why many chose the grave, our mothers did not birth slaves” Turkey is already attacking the group for performing the song

@Rome_Empirex So petty. Xi is obviously an insecure leader. A leader seeking talks with other nations is a sign of weakness? Only to totalitarians... Just like the Iranians. A little tip, the Chinese lie and steal. The Iranians lie and kill. What sorry human beings

🇨🇳 Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Trump did not come by our invitation.. rather he was the one who requested the visit!

@anders_aslund You are why Americans dont want to support Ukraine. Censored, lol

Trump has successfully censored most major US media. The US ranks #64 on the World Press Freedom index, which is below freedom. And it is getting worse very soon. Sad to see that the US lacks checks and balances & is unable to defend freedom.

@anders_aslund I agree. The US should stop 100% any involvement between Ukraine or Russia. Leave it to the Europeans. They are smarter than Americans anyway... Just ask them.

Ukraine should refuse to communicate with Witkoff. He represents Putin.

Spencer Pratt actually spends time with people and listens to their stories Karen Bass gets heckled everywhere she goes LA has a chance to change their future by voting for Spencer Pratt

@marlene4719 Trolling Putin. It is his sense of humor. You got one?

Trump compares his welcome in China to Putin’s welcome in China: “I don’t know if the ceremony was quite as brilliant as mine. I watched, I think I topped him.” Such a petty, bitch baby, fragile fuck.
