@TessaWellblack @EmmaJoNYC Same can be said for many other campaigned. Hell, Australian labour members came to work on the ber or campaign.

Mueller investigated credible questions about Trump and Russia's connections, and Russia's attempts to subvert the 2016 elections. He found that Russia did run a crisis PR bot misinformation push and tried to hack voter registration databases, but there was no evidence of Trump having direct knowledge of this. He and his team did what anyone else in their position would have, their jobs, and it says more about Trump that he has such a vengeful beligerent attitude toward someone doing their due diligence.

Mueller went after Trump the elected president on totally, obviously false pretenses, his children, everyone around him, random people who worked for him, to bleed them dry, have them imprisoned, or kill themselves— one instance among many in his long career of being a menace. But we’re supposed to be appalled at Trump saying “good” at his death announcement. No.

@Doranimated They.have to be careful because a sizeable portion of their population would side with its ..that's not even counting the communist third worldists

Retired French General Nicolas Richoux on Trump: “He shot himself in the foot. He wanted to invade a European Union country, Greenland, not long ago. And now, his old friends whom he didn’t consult, whom he scorned—especially the British—telling them: ‘We’ll remember this.’ He can go fuck himself.” Richoux, like a spoiled teenager, is obviously pleased with himself. But the question is the consequences of his attitude. Does he really think France will be better off in a world where Iran—backed by China and Russia—controls the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab al-Mandab? France is far more exposed to that outcome than the United States. Europe bristles at Trump’s style, but it cannot afford the strategic vacuum his critics are inviting. A little self-reflection, General. If Europeans had not made very bad decisions -- on defense spending and energy policy -- for decades, then Trump would seem much less threatening to you.

@cmclymer Y'all cheer whenever rush Limbaugh died, Kirk was killed, and the attempts on him. Don't pretend it's suddenly beginning now. It's no excuse but to see you pretend it starts now is annoying

Someday, Trump will die as we all must, and on that day, his knuckle-dragging fanbase will be scandalized and aggrieved that anyone would breath a negative word about him upon his death. Remind them of days like today when Trump said he's "glad" that Robert Mueller died.

@yashar Dems have been cheering for years. Most saw the akork videos. I don't think trump saying this is good, at all and disagree. But let's not start to think it's all beginning at this moment in time

Next time an older conservative figure who has treated people terribly dies and Democrats celebrate, you don’t get to complain unless you also criticize this.

@JebraFaushay You know, he was very respectful. Definitely shouldn't be driving though

The bodycam footage of Justin Timberlake’s DUI have been released and there’s a lot to unpack. The cop had no idea Justin Timberlake was a celebrity or else he was really good at faking it. A world tour? What’s that?

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

@Big_Mck Wests wealth isn't built on some make belief riches of global south, but on technological innovation, laws and trust in the system, etc.

These guys are not better than your African leaders. They are just as confused, incompetent and corrupt. The only thing working for them is the economic power they amassed through pillaging and exploitation of the global south, particularly Africa. If you are stealing from the rest of the world to build a $31 trillion economy, your system will function even with Mr Bean as your leader. And by Mr. Bean, I mean the character, not the actor. Rowan Atkinson is a decent gentleman.

@TNendzone @AP They make up names at the border and dump their paperwork. There's no vetting possible

@JamesStoverAnth @AP Is that supposed to be English? 🤔

Iran’s top military spokesman warned Friday that “parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations” worldwide won’t be safe for Tehran’s enemies. apnews.com/article/iran-i…

@lorddrey You think they own part of the ocean?

Iran has kept the Straight of Hormuz toll-free for decades despite being vilified, sanctioned, and Isolated. Egypt charges $300,000 – $700,000+ per transit through the Suez Canal. Ultra-large container ships or tankers can exceed $1 million. Panama charges $150,000 – $450,000 per transit. Large Neopanamax ships cost up to $500,000+ to pass the Panama Canal. Turkey charges fees for the Bosporus Strait. Canada charges fees for the St Lawrence Seaway. The United States charges for the St Lawrence Seaway. But Iran is a bad country.

@TNendzone @AP Made up names. We saw likes dumped at border. No getting possible

@JamesStoverAnth @AP It means they were able to control the arrivals to ensure the necessary documentation was provided first, before they were *granted* an appointment.

@TNendzone @AP They made cbp one into a sign up and enter app and called it legal and vetted

@JamesStoverAnth @AP Because you think they didn’t *try* to implement “Circumvention of Legal Pathway” rules to disallow asylum seekers to just show up after Title 42 expired, but were blocked by the courts because it violated current immigration law? 🤔

@TNendzone @AP They weren't expelling migrants. They even sued to make to take down barriers that made it more difficult. They released and flew in many millions of people

@JamesStoverAnth @AP Big percentage of those encounters resulted in immediate expulsion. “Overstays” have happened under every POTUS including Trump, but by definition, those were not illegal entry.

@TNendzone @AP More than 10m encounters, not counting non encounters, overstays, and those using cbp one

@JamesStoverAnth @AP “Encounters” is not the same as “let in”.

@GoodAtBingo @alissagolob @PierrePoilievre @joerogan Not letting depressed kill themselves is authoritarian? Lol

@alissagolob @PierrePoilievre @joerogan The difference between a libertarian and an authoritarian is: the libertarian wants you to be free to make your own choices even if they don't like it, and the authoritarian wants you to do what they want even if you don't like it

I'm about 15 minutes in to @PierrePoilievre's interview with @joerogan. About 12 minutes in they start talking about MAID, where Poilievre says people "should have the choice". A few minutes later he talks about how his favourite psychologist is Viktor Frankl. Frankl actively opposed assisted-suicide, and knew that seeking to eliminate suffering often ends up eliminating the suffering person. "Every life, in every situation and to the last breath, has a meaning, retains a meaning. This is equally true of the life of a sick person, even the mentally sick. The so-called life not worth living does not exist." - Viktor Frankl

@TNendzone @AP Not an achievement when you compare letting millions, over 10, enter vs not letting many, if any, the following year. They let in >10m, remove some Other blocks illegal entrants

@JamesStoverAnth @AP Calling them “open borders” is a fabrication, considering in 2024 there were 700K “removals and returns” compared to the 600K in 2025 under Trump.

@TNendzone @AP Trying to equate a few thousand vs open borders for all isn't a correct comparison

@JamesStoverAnth @AP And yet, thousands of Iranians also emigrated to the US in Trump’s first term. Meanwhile, he’s billing himself as the friend of the oppressed Iranian citizens. Imagine that. 🤔

@TNendzone @AP Luckily Mayorkas and Biden let in thousands of Iranian operatives and people easily influenced by them

@AP Luckily,Trump/DOGE’s zeal to defund counterterrorism initiatives last year, as well as “redeploying” the FBI’s counterterrorism unit to make sure they were instead helping detain thousands of immigrants per day regardless of the actual risk they posed, means we’re fine. 🤔

@AP Terrorists going to terror.

@hotsakenjoyer @dinahgirl88 @MattSeedorff @JoeMiller4547 @FBILosAngeles I met a guy who would say Armenian power. Didn't know it was a group

@dinahgirl88 @MattSeedorff @JoeMiller4547 @FBILosAngeles Yes they call themselves AP meaning Armenian Power

JUST IN: @FBILosAngeles releases images of those arrested Thursday in the mortgage fraud case.

@AdamMiller_nyc @shanaka86 Dude, I thought he had a cone hat on too for about 30 seconds

@shanaka86 the seeming KKK cone on the Sheikh’s head is very apt, as he makes they one sentence statement, which by the way is stupid and evil.

BREAKING: Qatar’s Prime Minister stood at a podium today and delivered one sentence that will fracture Gulf alliance architecture for a generation: “Everyone knows who the main beneficiary of this war is.” He did not name the country. He did not need to. The Arab diplomatic vocabulary has a grammar for this. When a Gulf leader says “everyone knows” without naming, the audience fills the blank. The X discourse filled it within minutes. The interpretation was dominant and immediate across Arabic-language accounts, with Gulf analysts and Arab media converging on the same reading. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, who also serves as Foreign Minister, called for an immediate halt. His full statement: “This war needs to stop immediately. The aggression needs to stop immediately. Because everyone knows who the main beneficiary of this war is, and dragging the whole region into this conflict is dangerous.” He described Iranian strikes on Qatar as a “dangerous miscalculation” and “betrayal.” He urged restraint from all sides. Consider the position this man occupies. Qatar hosts Al Udeid Air Base, CENTCOM’s forward headquarters, the nerve centre of Operation Epic Fury. American bombers launched from Qatari soil. Iran retaliated against the LNG facility down the road. The same government that provided the runway for the war is now absorbing the economic consequences. QatarEnergy declared force majeure. Ras Laffan sustained extensive damage. Seventeen percent of Qatar’s 77 million tonne capacity is structurally impaired. CEO Saad al-Kaabi told Reuters repairs could take three to five years. Twenty billion dollars in annual revenue is offline. The Prime Minister of a country that enabled the operation is publicly questioning who benefits from it while his national energy company faces half a decade of impaired production. That is not ambiguity. That is a fracture. The fracture runs through the entire Gulf alliance system. Saudi Arabia hosts Prince Sultan Air Base and absorbed Iranian missiles on Riyadh. The UAE hosts Al Dhafra and lost Shah and Habshan to zero. Bahrain hosts the Fifth Fleet and declared partial force majeure. Kuwait hosts Camp Arifjan and is watching two refineries burn. Every host provided the military infrastructure. Every host is absorbing economic retaliation. And the most outspoken just asked, on camera, whether the country benefiting from degrading Iran at zero direct cost is the same country whose allies are paying the full price. The market implications are immediate. If Qatar’s political establishment is signalling frustration with the cost-benefit distribution of this war, the assumption that Gulf states will indefinitely absorb strikes while providing bases becomes fragile. A frustrated host is a conditional host. Conditional basing changes the calculus for every military planner who assumed Al Udeid was permanent. The LNG implications are structural. A multi-year force majeure on contracts to Italy, Belgium, South Korea, and China is not a delivery delay. It is a repricing of the global gas map. JERA’s CEO said there is no spare bridge capacity. Asian spot LNG doubled to $24 to $25 per MMBtu. European TTF surged 68 to 85 percent. BASF and Yara are cutting fertiliser output. The facility that feeds them may not fully recover until 2029 or later. The diplomatic signal and the infrastructure damage are now the same story. Qatar’s PM is not merely commenting on the war. He is repricing Qatar’s willingness to absorb its consequences. The country that houses the command centre and the country that exports 20 percent of the world’s LNG are the same country. And its leader just told the world, in one sentence, that the arrangement may no longer be worth the cost. Full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…
