So There I Was…

A coward who will not be putting his life in danger in any of this.

@OaktownFalk @ProfDBernstein @ewong @nytimes When can I give you a ride to the recruiting center?

@ProfDBernstein @ewong @nytimes The NYT has been a voice for defeat and a conduit of totalitarian propaganda for a solid century

NEW from @nytimes: Netanyahu embraced a plan by the Mossad chief to ignite a regime change uprising in Iran for a quick victory. He used it to help convince Trump to start the war — despite doubts among some senior US and Israeli officials. It was a critical flaw in war plans.

@ProfDBernstein @ewong @nytimes When can I drive you to the recruiting center, Junior?

@ewong @nytimes It’s only been three weeks

@jetblaq45 @CameronCorduroy Bingo

@CameronCorduroy Dog catches the car moment

every once in a while you'll see right-wingers like Rufo encounter the monster they've created and it's a bittersweet feeling this is what feeding leopards gets you

We are so back!

@bahaba1959 @Birdyword And then what happened?

@Birdyword you said the same thing last Sunday and when the market opened, oil went down. You need a new scam.

Six hours and 45 minutes until futures open. Kiss your children goodbye. Savour a final meal.

@patriotactual82 @GasBuddyGuy Why didn’t you keep both images with Brent crude?

Crazy high jumps in average diesel prices from some U.S. cities- 7 have surged over $2/gal in 30 days: Tucson +$2.21/gal Phoenix +$2.10 Orange County, CA +$2.06 McAllen, TX +$2.01 Madera, CA +$2.00 Napa, CA +$2.00 The Villages, FL +$2.00 Prescott, AZ +$1.99 Sarasota, FL +$1.98

@EddieLovoQua @reg1075360 @Rory_Johnston Do they also produce crude in Norway and Nigeria?

@reg1075360 @Rory_Johnston I mean what will happen will they increase production , like double daily production of barrel of oils

"Iran is going after the petrodollar system" Brother, they've already shut in 10 million barrels per day of Gulf crude oil production capacity. What petro?

@karar0se2008 @mozaka11 @Matt_Bracken48 @jokilema When can I pick you up and take you to the recruiting center?

@mozaka11 @Matt_Bracken48 @jokilema Wrong. Feed it to somebody else because i'm not biting...

This is complete strategic incoherence. We are being led to the abyss by a madman who is pulling ideas out of his ass hour by hour and posting them on social media. Generals and Admirals need to start resigning. I say this as someone who voted for Trump 3X, went to rallies, and drove 11 hours to attend J-6 in person.

@ndkirschmann Uh yes, I’ve been a tenant. And I’ve also cut leases at a moment’s notice. I’m saying, we already have an exception for a type of government worker, we can certainly make an exception for another type of government worker. And the US has never been sincerely capitalist.

@inthezoneuk @frangenever @carolecadwalla @mehdirhasan “I’m not a supporter of any side” and yet you keep making excuses for the people actively involved in hurting innocent people.

I never said they were involved. But for fear of repeating myself. Hezbollah and Hamas etc have to be removed. Until that happens, we can say Israel should do X or Y and it won't change. And to be clear, I'm not a supporter of any side except for the innocent caught in the crossfire between a murder cult and a cult with an ideology to expand its territory. And our suggestions or moralizing won't make a blind bit of difference.

I wish some establishment media types would comment on this exchange. That they haven’t is maybe the biggest tell of all about how the media works.

@inthezoneuk @frangenever @carolecadwalla @mehdirhasan Hamas has nothing to do with the ethnic cleansing Israel is committing. I love that Israel can create the refugees and then wash its hands of them. Just hang up work all around. And doing it all the while Israel takes American aid. Disgusting.

You’re looking at approximately up to 1.5m women and children. Israel wouldn’t have the capacity to handle that. Just look at Sweden when they took in 257K refugees in 2016 after a few months and had to close the border as they could not cope and they are a similar size in population. So wishful and simple ideas wouldn’t work. Also, how would they know who is part of Hamas or not? You can moralise about Israel and say they should do this or that, but it comes back to Iranian proxies. Until they’re removed, it’s Groundhog Day. Yes, Israel should leave the West Bank and much more but live in the real world. It’s not happening until Hamas and co are gone. If the Iranian regime falls in the future, that would be a good start.

@inthezoneuk @frangenever @carolecadwalla @mehdirhasan Yes into Israel. And if you’re not going to take basic precautions, you can’t expect the world to sit by and say “oh, poor Israel!!!”

@GiveMeADouble @frangenever @carolecadwalla @mehdirhasan I know! That is one of the reasons. So where would they go then if you said Israel could evacuate the women and children? To Israel? Not happening in a war.

@inthezoneuk @frangenever @carolecadwalla @mehdirhasan There are more Palestinians inside Jordan than there are in Gaza or the West Bank. Add to that fact that the Israelis don’t let them back in, why would Arab countries agree to take refugees?

Evacuate women and children? Israel wouldn’t do that because of security risks and the resources required. Yet the surrounding Muslim countries said no. Hmm. I agree on the cutting of power and water was definitely wrong. That’s not defence. That’s torture. It was a terrible decision. But again, this comes down to proxies on behalf of Iran who initiated Oct 7th. Stop them and progress can be made but it demands America to be hard nosed with Israel. The question is, will they? History has shown us America won’t be. Obama did seem to be going down that route but never followed through. So Déjà vu!

@Jaamennn @JamesSurowiecki Hold on, just so I’m clear, legal residents of America (plenty of whom aren’t citizens) should now carry their residency papers with them if they fly?

@GiveMeADouble @JamesSurowiecki Illegals are allowed to fly. By TSA. But ICE has authority to detain and deport them.

All Homan was saying here was that ICE agents can take over the job of checking flyers' IDs, which TSA agents currently have to do. But Benny, pretending he's never flown before, makes it sounds like checking IDs before screening is some new Trump scheme.

@bigfoot_doc @GuyAdami Why? For doing a job Trump hired him to do?

@GuyAdami He was in Washington too long and in the end lost his way. He knew.

Married to his wife of 60 years Princeton graduate , NYU Masters, UVA Law, US Marine Captain, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Navy Commendation Medal, South Vietnam Gallantry Cross, … a Patriot

@Jaamennn @JamesSurowiecki Are only citizens allowed to fly?

@JamesSurowiecki Don't think TSA ID checkers could deport or detain you if they found out your illegal

@ArmaLite15OU812 @atrupar @MtlManGa Can’t wait to pop the bottle of champagne I’m saving for that special day in the future. And then to chase it down with all of your tears upset that people are celebrating.

@atrupar @MtlManGa After what they’ve done to President Trump, he has the right to celebrate when each and every one of them pass away. Quit being so hypocritical, especially when you’ve all cheered at conservative deaths over the past couple years, including just a few days ago.

WELKER: Do you think it's appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of a Bronze Star, Purple Heart recipient who served in Vietnam? BESSENT: Neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and his family WELKER: But is it appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of any American citizen? BESSENT: Give what has been done to President Trump and his family, it is impossible for either of us to understand what he's been through WELKER: So you don't think there's anything wrong with a post saying, 'Good. Robert Mueller's dead'? BESSENT: We should have empathy for what's been done to the president and his family

@MarkWil02325347 @atrupar Lol Trump and his campaign lied repeatedly, but here you still are carrying water for that jabroni.

@atrupar If he was any type of "hero" he would have blown the lid off the whole conspiracy of "The Russian collusion Hoax". We now know exactly how people in government tried to remove a sitting President illegally. He knew what was going on and he should have done something to stop it.

@inthezoneuk @frangenever @carolecadwalla @mehdirhasan A suitable response would be offering to evacuate women and children out of Gaza before destroying every building. A suitable response would be to NOT cut off all power and water to the city. You can’t possibly be this fucking obtuse.

It was an example of NOT responding to attacks! You said as quoted, "I love that the response to barbarity from bloodthirsty fundamentalist terrorists is to be more like them." So no response? A suitable response? What would that look like? October 7th was barbarity! So what response should Israel have made?
