@BillyM2k The most obvious explanation is the right one here. The left knows it benefits from not having to show an ID to register. Everything else is just bs.

i don’t understand why the left is against voter id while simultaneously saying how it won’t make a difference because people aren’t illegally voting so then pass the law? if the results are the same and it makes no difference, it takes away the talking point

@IronPatriot4Eva @BillyM2k Almost all countries around the world do this. It doesn’t seem to be that much of a burden to them.

@BillyM2k For the same reasons that conservatives fight so hard against gun control/reform. It makes the process involved in exercising a constitutional right more difficult, restrictive and expensive. It'll hit lower income people harder, and disproportionately impact women & minorites.

@gellobytes @BillyM2k This makes no sense. Those things would affect R’s just as much as Dems. Maybe even more given R’s higher propensity to marry and change names. The reason Dems oppose it is because it requires showing an ID in person to register. Can’t do it by mail.

look at what’s in the bill not what you think is in it. Ask grok if you don’t want to spend the time reading the bill. Ask it why are democrats fighting this bill? Does the bill disenfranchise existing legal voters. Are women who married and changed their names given an extra burden to prove who they are?

@IllicitVerity @jeremykauffman I got burned on Moloch last time, but I have a really good feeling about Baal in 2028.

The American right had a once in a generation moment to crush the left and squandered it.

@NickDurie_Alba @academic_la I have no idea how many they have. 400 would still be a lot. On par with some US missile systems. My point was that they’re not easy to make or replace like a drone launcher. You need an industrial operation to support them, especially if all indigenous.

@JRamboCap1 @academic_la I understand the argument. We are to take a leap of faith that a v strategic country with many 10s of 1000s of the most sophisticated missiles in history & 80,000+ drones & the ability to make 1000s a month & 12s of missile facilities 500+m underground only built ~400 launchers.

I talked to two Israeli sources on why Iranian launches continue to increase, despite US-Israeli claims that they have destroyed almost all of the launchers. Here is what they said: 1) The 90–95% drop in volume claimed by CENTCOM earlier in the month was probably a temporary lull as Iran repositioned its remaining launchers into hardened sites. Independent satellite analysis suggests that a significant portion of the "80% destruction" claimed by the IDF actually hit high-fidelity decoys. 2) Despite fewer launchers, the lethality per strike has increased. Iran's shift to cluster warheads has allowed a single missile to impact multiple locations simultaneously, compensating for the lower volume of launches 3) Iran has successfully set up mobile, underground units able to fire at steady rates. Iran used that quiet period to move their remaining ~100-120 heavy launchers into "Super-Hardened" facilities 4) Iran is utilizing its Zolfaqar and Dezful road-mobile launchers. These units move from hardened tunnels to pre-surveyed launch spots, fire, and return underground in under 10 minutes, often before coalition drones can re-task for a strike. 5) Because these launching units are decentralized, it is very hard for US and Israeli intelligence to get info on them. Israel and the United States do not have an answer to this problem. That is why they are trying escalation on energy sources instead. But that is backfiring.

@kallisto369 @Cernovich How many immigrants would you like to house?

@Cernovich Voted for Trump 3 times, currently registered as No Party Preference, would have voted for RFK Jr if he was on the ballot. At this point I'll happily vote Democrat and accept the consequences just to see this administration be held accountable by an openly hostile congress.

Trump's voter base is unshakeable. 40%. Discussing their view on the Iran war is either stupid or deliberately dishonest. The question is what the MAHA people, the independents, the podcast listeners, and the young men are saying.

@NickDurie_Alba @academic_la It’s a lot more than a truck. TELs have an oversized engine, multiple forged axels, a reinforced frame to support the missile weight, hydraulics to lift the boom, heat plating, not to mention all the electronics. It’s not clear that Iran can actually make all this stuff.

@academic_la Launchers are basically trucks. The idea Iran has a shortage of these while maintaing some of the world's most advanced hyper sonic missiles and satellite targeting is nuts. They've got thousands of launchers. They're just phasing the conflict till they totally dominate.

@DefiantLs Phew. I was worried they weren’t going to make a statement.

Joint statement issued by the UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan condemning "recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf"

@user14201 @CHSommers Biden was also pretty funny, but you guys were told to ignore it.

@CHSommers I agree. Making Americans look like simple idiots is hilarious. The world hasn't laughed at Americans this hard ever before

Ok. This is really funny.

@RealitySuxGirly @SanjayNarayan @DamonLinker What he said is true and is obvious to anyone paying attention.

@SanjayNarayan @DamonLinker Normal people don’t think like this. Normal people see long lines and blame who is in charge. This is always bad for the party in power & the republicans should know this by now.

We've done this to ourselves, America. The 4-hour lines at the airport. The surging gas prices, and other rising prices to follow. The $200 billion and counting tab for our latest Middle Eastern adventure, piled on to of the $39 trillion in debt. Amazing national self-sabotage.

@Fly_Pete @SanjayNarayan @DamonLinker Understand why dems need to change the nomenclature. “Illegal” hits too close to home to the mass criminality of this whole thing.

@SanjayNarayan @DamonLinker You still don’t get that “illegal” is just the euphemism they use for non-white immigrants regardless of status? That’s pretty sad, man.

@NawafAlThani When are you guys declaring war?

Qatar’s Interior Ministry says Civil Defense has fully brought two of the three fires under control at sites in the Ras Laffan industrial area, with no injuries reported. Cooling and safety operations are ongoing, while the Internal Security Force explosives unit is handling any hazardous debris.

@Salansar1 @guypbenson @FaisalbinFarhan It seems inevitable that the other GCC countries enter the war. Surprised they haven’t already.

#Breaking: Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince @FaisalbinFarhan 🇸🇦: "Iran’s calculations are wrong, and it believes that the Gulf states cannot respond." "We will not submit to blackmail, nor will we be intimidated." "Iran must immediately halt its attacks and abandon its hostile policies." "The Iranians did not understand the message and have overstepped against their neighbors." "Iran’s targeting of energy supplies impacts the entire world." "Iran’s conduct has long relied on backing militias and extremist groups." "Iran must understand that there are consequences for its behavior." "We will use every means necessary to stop Iranian aggression." "The Kingdom and its partners possess significant capabilities, and the patience we have shown is not unlimited. It could be a day, two days, or a week,I will not say."

@grios63 @ScottJenningsKY She’s done. Kill shot.

@ScottJenningsKY you stupid fucking traitor, you know that’s a freaking lie, is that all you got SCOTT, you’re a true piece of shit, traitor to our country

Fare thee well, Kat.

@brock_joha41812 @Freddygray31 This assumes the Dem establishment that picks your candidates for you have something better to offer. They don’t. When Trump is gone it’ll just go on to the next populist.

@Freddygray31 “He argues that the Iran war will likely mark the end of Trumpism.” With all due respect, I think every sentient being in America aside from the Israel Firsters already realize this. Trump is finished, and he will take down the Republican Party with him.

We’ve just put our latest issue to bed. Christopher Caldwell has written the cover. He argues that the Iran war will likely mark the end of Trumpism:

@xyphophorus @BigBirdKiwi @lokeshwarajones @RobertJMolnar We’re beating around the bush here. If it comes to it, US will put troops in and take the territory around the Strait.

@BigBirdKiwi @lokeshwarajones @JRamboCap1 @RobertJMolnar That is typically the strategy for defensive positioning from what I understand

As an objective game theorist and student of conflict studies (degree, bragging), Irans new approach of a "toll booth" at the curve of the straits is fucking genius Pay the toll, get your ships through.... Nothing Trump can do about it...at all

@guypbenson They shouldn’t be able to word it like this. How does a court not step in on that?

Having been deluged with millions $$$ worth of (virtually uncontested & stunningly dishonest) propaganda in favor of a partisan gerrymandering scheme, today I eagerly voted NO. Virginia Democrats’ corrupt, deceitful power grab should be defeated. Question wording is wild. NO!

@EricLDaugh I don’t think Dems realize how much they’re hated. They spend too much time around each other.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Republicans just scored a +14 point OVER PERFORMANCE in the Virginia House of Delegates District 98 Special Election Andrew Rice (R) defeats Cheryl Smith (D) by 28+ points, in the Trump+14 district Apply liberals' logic, this means a RED TSUNAMI is coming 😅🔥

@GraduatedBen This was a skull splitter for Dems. It’s just such a transparent power grab and the language around it is absolutely Orwellian. Fuck these people.

Republicans in Virginia are overperforming so strongly that the gerrymander attempt is suddenly looking much riskier for Dems.

@VA_GOP @Cernovich Virginians are generally nice people, but I would not want to be one of the Dems handing out the ballot suggestions outside. These people are going to get a face full of shit like you could not possibly imagine.

MOMENTUM IS BUILDING. VOTE NO. VOTE EARLY.
