Eric Roselles

@FlapsO_Hoolahan @Eve_Barlow Yes.

@Eve_Barlow Does he misrepresent this?

JD Vance has succeeded in sounding more ignorant on the Middle East than AOC.

@AKorybko @Tamir114 Lies, ignorance, and being disingenuous aren't criticism. Just like you thinking there's a difference between MAGA and Progressives.

@Tamir114 Why do you think that criticizing the State of Israel is anti-Semitic? It’s not a “god-state” just because it declared itself the “Jewish State”. You’re being so unfair and disrespectful to MAGA, it’s very Democrat-like! 🤦‍♂️

כשג'יי די ואנס אומר הערב ש"טראמפ הוא ראש המדינה היחיד שמגלה כיום אהדה לישראל" וכי "שני שלישים מאמצעי ההגנה שהגנו על ישראל יוצרו בידי עובדים אמריקאים ומומנו מכספי משלם המסים האמריקאי", הסאבטקסט של דבריו הוא: "אף אחד לא אוהב את מדינת היהודים, שחיה מכספם של משלמי המסים האמריקנים"

@RoKhanna "Whose side are you on?" The side of property rights. The side that doesn't believe politicians become moral simply because they vote to take someone else's earnings. The side that understands standing with workers doesn't mean punishing the most successful ones.

@RoKhanna I'm for what's right. And you are not right about anything.

250 billionaires own half of California GDP. Taxing them at 2% would save healthcare for millions. Healthcare workers have already compromised from 5%. 85% of VC money came to California in Q1 2026. The capital flight argument is nonsense. The only reason to oppose this is if you want to protect the donor class. It's about protecting money in politics. I want a Democratic party that will stand for the working class. This is a moral test for our party. Whose side are you on? nytimes.com/2026/06/18/us/… via @NYTimes

@America1stpleaz @thisisnew_me1 You people never get tired of making excuses for why you can't figure out life. Always victims.

@thisisnew_me1 Now summer jobs are filled with Ramjeet Jagpreet and Akshit Suhkdeep.

BOOMER: “College is an investment.” ME: “Your degree cost $3,000. Mine costs $100,000.” BOOMER: “I paid mine off with a summer job.” ME: “That’s kind of the point.”

@R3ADYMAR @Imported_Fun @thisisnew_me1 No, ignorance is not understanding why it's expensive. Everyone loves "free" and "fair" without understanding the consequences of these false premises. So, take some responsibility and try thinking for once.

@Imported_Fun @thisisnew_me1 The school is gonna do what it wants The boomer not understanding rising prices is just fucking ignorance Oh and it’s the boomers who run the universities raising the prices btw

@omgsidewalks It's not as unpopular as it is immoral and dumb.

unpopular opinion: After you reach $999 million, every red cent goes to schools and health care. You get a trophy that says, “I won capitalism” and we name a dog park after you. no more billionaires.

@BernieClaps @jacobkornbluh I won't forget all the antisemitic terrorist lovers like you.

@jacobkornbluh Yes, everything is Israel’s fault. No, it’s not an obsession. It’s the truth. Don’t forget.

“If everything is Jew-hatred, then nothing is Jew-hatred.” — the Vice President of the U.S.

@lucas7ir @jacobkornbluh He's a Christian Nationalist and pragmatic POS. Neither has anything to do with being a true American.

I would vote for this guy if I were in America. He has the character and courage needed for a leader, unlike Rubio, who is just a person with no principle whatsoever. He is saying the truth. If you kill millions and do the most inhumane atrocities known to mankind, and when someone stands against you, you pull the victim card. No one is buying it anymore. People have woken up, and it’s time for politicians who care about their country to wake up too. The U.S. can destroy Israel in a heartbeat. They don’t even need to attack them, only cut ties with them and let them fight their wars alone for the first time, and see how their coward army is gonna be destroyed and defeated. Also, the U.S. and real Americans should prosecute foreign agents who work for this country who put this country’s interest before the U.S. for treason.

@arjunkhemani @friedberg "Without property rights, no other rights are possible." - Ayn Rand

.@friedberg: “We are now at a moment where we are saying there is no longer private property in the United States. This is one of the foundational rights that the founders of the United States tried to create: a distinction between these other nations that everyone flees from, where a monarchy or a totalitarian government or some communist system says everyone owns everything together, or some small number of people own and control everything. And that’s what this always comes down to. Whether it’s a socialist state or a communist state or a monarchy or some other totalitarian regime, there’s a small number of people that own and control everything. And that is the brink that we’re on. Because they are trying to say, for the first time ever, there is no longer private property in the United States. That if the government can say everything that you’ve already paid your income tax on, and then you’ve bought and you now own, the government can take a piece of it every year based on the vote and the budgetary needs of an irresponsible fiscal legislature. We’ve lost it all. And that’s where we are. And we see this just passed in Illinois. People think it’s just crypto, just like they think that billionaire tax is just billionaires. But anytime the government can take your private property after you’ve paid your taxes, bought something, and put it in your garage, we are done for. That is when the politburo has unlimited capacity to tax and take and do what they want. That’s the moment we’re at.”

@omgsidewalks You have no concept of what it means to make sacrifices or how to achieve anything on your own. You want e everyone else to do it for you.

Stop asking us why we can't save. Stop asking why we don't get a better job. Stop asking us why we're not having children. Stop asking us why we're not buying homes. Ask corporations why they're paying their employees low wages.

Trump says his Iran deal avoided a “worldwide depression.” That is not a boast. It is an indictment. It means the war ended not because Iran was defeated, not because the regime capitulated, not because its nuclear and missile programs were dismantled — but because Iran succeeded in turning the Strait of Hormuz into a hostage. That was the decisive issue from the beginning. And it was completely foreseeable. The Strait is not a symbol. It is one of the central arteries of the world economy. Roughly 20% of global petroleum liquids and a major share of LNG normally move through it. Iran sits on the northern shore with mines, missiles, drones, coastal batteries, and fast boats. Everyone knew this. The Pentagon knew it. The Navy knew it. Tehran knew it. The United States has spent decades planning, exercising, and operating in precisely this battlespace. This is not some mysterious, unforeseeable problem. The Navy has escorted tankers through the Persian Gulf before. It has fought Iran’s navy before. It has practiced mine-countermeasures, maritime security, convoy protection, unmanned surveillance, and freedom-of-navigation operations in and around the Strait for years. The issue was never whether America had the capability to keep the straits open. It did. The issue was whether the president would make preventing Iran from closing the Straits of Hormuz a strategic objective of the war. Trump CHOSE not to. That decision doomed the war from the start. Control of the Strait did not mean occupying Iran. It did not mean guaranteeing zero risk. It meant declaring, from the first hour, that the Strait is an international waterway; that no Iranian mine, missile battery, drone site, fast boat, “permit authority,” or IRGC toll booth would be allowed to determine whether world trade moves; and that every asset threatening commercial shipping would be destroyed. Control meant executing on the Navy’s existing plans. That should have been the opening strategic objective. Instead, Trump failed to act and instead treated Hormuz as a bargaining chip. I identified this on my show a week into the war and said it on my show: if the United States does not break Iran’s control over Hormuz immediately, every later battlefield success will be strategically compromised. That is exactly what happened. The U.S. and Israel hit Iran hard. The White House says more than 10,000 sorties were flown and more than 13,000 targets were struck. Iranian air defenses, command nodes, missile sites, naval targets, and parts of the regime’s military infrastructure were devastated. But tactical destruction is not victory. Victory requires identifying the enemy’s decisive leverage and breaking it. Iran’s leverage was Hormuz. If America controls the Strait, Iran is isolated. Its exports are constrained. Its revenue dries up. Its regime faces the consequences of aggression. The pressure falls on Tehran. If Iran controls the Strait, the pressure falls on Washington. Oil prices rise. LNG markets tighten. Allies panic. Markets wobble. Governments demand de-escalation. Suddenly the aggressor is negotiating from leverage. That is exactly what happened. Iran did not need to defeat the U.S. Navy. It only needed to convince American politicians that reopening the Strait by force was too risky, too costly, too frightening. And Trump accepted that premise. Once he did, the war was lost politically, no matter how many targets were destroyed. The tragedy is that America did not lack the means. It lacked the will and the strategic clarity. A serious administration would have flooded the theater early, established overwhelming control of the air and sea approaches, protected commercial transit, cleared mines, destroyed minelayers, and made clear that any Iranian attempt to close the Strait would bring immediate military consequences. Hard? Yes. Risky? Of course. But wars are hard and risky. That is why they must be fought only when the objective is clear and the will exists to achieve it. The unforgivable error was going to war while leaving Iran’s strongest weapon intact. And now we have a deal that reportedly reopens the Strait temporarily, lifts parts of the blockade, offers sanctions relief, unfreezes billions, contemplates a massive reconstruction fund, and postpones the hardest questions: missiles, proxies, enrichment, and the survival of the regime itself. This is not how a serious country wins a war. This is how it buys time from the enemy after failing to neutralize the enemy’s strongest weapon. The worst part is not this agreement. The worst part is the precedent. Iran now knows that if it can close Hormuz long enough, America will bargain. China is watching. Every hostile regime sitting near a chokepoint is watching. The lesson they will draw is obvious: do not defeat the U.S. military; threaten the arteries of trade until American politicians fear the economic consequences of victory. That is the catastrophe. Not merely that Trump blinked. Not merely that Iran survived. But that the United States taught its enemies that control over trade routes can substitute for military power. Wars are not won by counting targets destroyed. They are won by achieving the political objective. The objective should have been the defeat of the Iranian regime and the restoration of absolute freedom of navigation in the Persian Gulf. Instead, America settled for a pause — and Iran kept the weapon. The bill for that failure will not come due all at once. But it will come due.

Notice how he doesn't explain a single problem. He doesn't explain how anyone was harmed. He doesn't explain how the wealth was acquired. He doesn't explain why unequal outcomes are unjust. He just points at success and hopes ignorance, resentment, and envy fill in the blanks.

Politicians aren't entirely wrong when they say it's the top versus the bottom. What they leave out is that they've spent generations turning themselves from public servants into public masters. The people writing the rules, collecting the taxes, printing the money, and deciding who gets favors aren't at the bottom.

@SenWarren All you thieves in Washington have already looted taxpayers of $38T with these types of promises that you never deliver all while enriching yourselves. Go pound sand, you thief.

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four year olds in America.

@SteveParkerCogD @BladeoftheS Notice how these imbeciles always say "we". Who is "we"? I don't give my money away to anyone but government thugs who'd arrest me if I didn't.

@BladeoftheS We are their magic money tree - consume, work, pay tax. This is where capitalism ends:

There is a magic money tree you can take money from. It's called the rich, and when they are bankrupt the Government will own everything again. And then it won't need a magic money tree.

@BladeoftheS Instead of a tree there will be a government thug with a gun. It's funny how they never finish the story.

@Heccles94 Yeah, it's everyone else who's sick. Not the nutjob who wants to point a gun at anyone he deems to be "rich".

$119,000,000,000 in one day. This man is sick. This world is sick. Tax. The. Rich.
