By far the largest welfare scam is military disability. Your allergies aren’t because of jet fuel, you’re just a scam artist

@BitClops @marcjoffe Some smaller ones are. But Florida is unquestionably the best run state in the country right now Texas is cheaper, but billionaires down care about the 20% cheaper property value

@marcjoffe none of them are moving to TX?

CA and WA are solving wealth and income inequality. By driving out billionaires, they are driving down their gini coefficients. So if you live on the West Coast, you should be feeling better now.

@terrakei07 It’s the best land in the world, but liberals have turned it into a one part state hell hole

嫌味とかではなく本当に素朴な疑問なんだけど、アメリカ人の皆さんはなんでそこまでカリフォルニアを嫌っているんですか？

@realtonysm1th I think either: 1) He has on good intelligence that China is going to attack the US 2) He is shifting the window like crazy intentionally… believing that democrats overstepping during the next 2 years would put the republicans ahead in 28

Maybe I’m crazy, but is Trump acting really bizarre? Like he normally has a good read on voters, even if what he says is nonsense. He nailed it in 2024; he knew exactly what to say and to avoid mention of all these wild new shenanigans he’s suddenly into. What is this strategy?

@EiratheIntern The domicile argument is weak. There are two serious arguments against the current system. “Jurisdiction” can be read as: 1. Political allegiance, not mere presence, excluding unlawful entrants (stronger) 2. Descriptive at ratification, not a universal rule (weaker)

She's literally right in this argument. I am subject to the local jurisdiction of wherever I travel, regardless of citizenship. And that confers certain obligations ergo allegiance as understood by the administration's argument. Domicile status doesn't affect any of that!

@RocketBerth @stocktalkweekly You do understand that the US had a lower total tariff rate than any country in Europe did on them right?

*CHINA PRESIDENT XI WILL MEET WITH EUROPEAN LEADERS INCLUDING FRANCE PRESIDENT, SPAIN PM, AND EU PRESIDENT IN VIETNAM IN THE COMING WEEKS AMID RISING GLOBAL TRADE TENSIONS OVER U.S. TARIFFS -- EUROPE SEEKING GREATER INTIMACY WITH CHINA & SOUTHEAST ASIA TO OFFSET U.S. RELIANCE

@grinch107 @XJaeMarie @helloitsrez @AutismCapital @ThePenOfQuotes - Trump talked about not allowing Iran to get nuclear bombs on Rogan for 30 minutes - He ran on mass deportations, he and Vance said it everywhere - Literally everyone knew he was planning on tariffs Trump hasn’t flipped on anything

@XJaeMarie @helloitsrez @AutismCapital @ThePenOfQuotes Theo didn’t flip flop. Trump and the maga administration flip flopped. Trump is pulling the rug and doing a 180 on everything he ran on. None of us flip flopped. Trump flip flopped.

If you watch the full Joe Rogan x Theo Von podcast from today you can cut the tension with a knife. Theo will say something "left coded" and Joe will immediately take the opposite end of the stance, and challenge him over and over until Theo basically says "What are you doing?"

@XJaeMarie @helloitsrez @AutismCapital @ThePenOfQuotes No. He’s trying to adopt the stance of the public, but he’s too dumb to filter out bad information or think things through logically. That’s toxic empathy. That’s why he has completely incoherent views, and often antithetical views.

@helloitsrez @AutismCapital @ThePenOfQuotes Its just the "He's trying to find right now where the most safe opinion to be is." Just sounds like he really doesn't have a stance on anything.

@AutismCapital @ThePenOfQuotes He’s extremely stupid. And he knows it so he’s very insecure about that fact. This leads to him leaning too far into the schitzo-leftist stuff, because he’s too dumb to filter out the truth from the false information. It’s very unfortunate

@ThePenOfQuotes Theo genuinely wants to find neutral equilibrium and be an everyman with his guests. He's trying to find right now where the most safe opinion to be is. He flows with changing opinions but his goal is to find harmony. He means no ill intent. He's sensitive but in the public eye.

@RedWavePress Based asf

NASA pilot Victor Glover CLAPS back after being asked what it means to be the first black man to visit the moon: “It’s the story of humanity, not black history, not women’s history, but that it becomes human history.” “I also HOPE we are pushing the other direction that one day we don’t have to talk about these first. That one day, this is just—and listen to this—that this is the human history.”

@yarbatman I wouldn’t say Trump’s position is irrational… it’s entirely logical because the longer it goes on, the more the US benefits relatively to the rest of the world. Trump basically set a trap of heads I win, tails you lose. The only way for Iran to “win” here is bending the knee

Iranian leaders have achieved operational success in externalizing the costs of this war. But their *strategy* still failed because they did not anticipate three things. First, that U.S. allies, including the Gulf states that have so lavishly fetted Trump, would have essentially no influence over the decisions he makes. Second, that neither the U.S. president nor his cabinet would care about unprecedented disruptions in the global economy and would make it known publicly that they don’t care. Third, that the U.S. president could express glee about the prospect of endless escalation and the commission of war crimes and not a single part of the famous American system of checks and balances would block him from intensifying this idiotic, ruinous war. In the face of Israeli and American aggression, Iran chose a perfectly rational, if risky, strategy. They managed to make it work operationally. But Trump’s pursuit of this war is fundamentally irrational. He is a mad king. Rex interregnum.

@badboujeebabee @TheInsiderPaper They’re not in NATO, so truthfully this is fine… However, the US should take note of it, just incase

@TheInsiderPaper Learn to speak Chinese or Russian is my recommendation to Europe. Becasue there ain’t no damn way American men or women are fighting to save you fuks ever again.

JUST IN - Austria says refused US requests to overfly its territory

@BahlestKimmie @astraiaintel Israel and the USA, hence “Death to Israel, Death to America” Acting as if America does not have the right to attack a country they have been in a proxy war with for decades when they start making nuclear weapons is hilariously stupid

@astraiaintel Which country has Iran threatened with nuclear destruction. Be specific.

I'm going to be honest, this situation is ridiculous. The Americans are our allies, Trump or not. We shouldn't be treating them like that in any case.

@secular_wizard @overton_news Many are born dual citizens… Birthright citizenship is actually pretty rare on the global scale

🚨 Stephen A. Smith dropped a SURPRISING take on birthright citizenship. “When the president walked in to the Supreme Court...to attend oral arguments...I’m here to tell you ladies and gentlemen, I don’t blame him.” Smith then asked his audience the uncomfortable question about birthright citizenship: “Is it right?” SMITH: “The issue that I wanted to get into is birthright citizenship by simply asking this question.” “When the president walked in to the Supreme Court today...to hear their thoughts, their questions, their inquiry, their opinions on birthright citizenship in the United States of America.” “How’d you feel about that?” “I’m here to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, I don’t blame him.” “He campaigned on this issue.” “He’s been accused of not paying attention to stuff that’s happening on our home soil.” “You want to do something politically expedient to your benefit, if you’re President Donald Trump, this is the fight you fight, because millions of Americans flow with him on this issue.” “And the reason why it’s an issue that’s important to tackle is because remember what the 14th amendment of the United States Constitution states.” “Remember what it states!” “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States. “Meaning if you are born on U.S. soil, you are a U.S. citizen automatically. Automatically!” “Here’s the part that we have to ask ourselves, and this is where the conversation gets uncomfortable, do you believe in birthright citizenship as an American citizen?” “Do you believe that somebody that crosses our borders illegally, to give birth on American soil, that their children, their newborn should automatically be an American citizen?” “According to the United States Constitution, there is no argument there.” “What I’m asking you is, is it right?” “Should it happen?”

@DoorMyKnob @asbestosman8 He’s got a little Aaron Rodgers to him, you just have to keep him focused on football

@asbestosman8 We need to just keep Mike Renner on the football treadmill because everything else about this guy is yikes

When Mike Renner interrupts the seven round mock draft to discuss the USS Liberty incident

@LinkofSunshine You were literally 12 years old…

People do not remember how bad it was before the ACA. If you had cancer while uninsured, you just couldn’t get insurance ever now

Dems had a trifecta for like 41 days and immediately gave tens of millions of Americans healthcare

@RuNoseP Bro is just closeted Buttigieg

ok but also it would be extremely lame for a freshman senator to just abandon such a valuable Senate seat like that

@mikerenner_ @KingDaboll Bro has been drinking too much spotted cow

@KingDaboll my views are eclectic

Mike Renner advocating for worker co op businesses?

@LeadingReport “What if you don’t know where the child was born?”

BREAKING: SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett now seems skeptical of striking down birthright citizenship for illegal migrants. “What if you don’t know who the parents are?”

@BrettKollmann Well… we have background checks and red flag laws…

So this argument works for citizenship debates but not for background checks and red flag laws?

@Chuksforreal @LeadingReport The entire world has such a system

That’s the question that unravels the whole argument. Barrett wasn’t being rhetorical. She was identifying a practical impossibility. How do you build a citizenship system around information you may never have? The policy sounds clean in a tweet. It falls apart in a courtroom. That’s why the Constitution is hard to change. It’s supposed to be.
