@stuey_beef At this point it no longer matters how you got here. What matters is how you will get out of it.

This is a worrying moment. The US President publicly dismissing a UK military deployment with: “We don’t need people that join wars after we’ve already won.” For decades Britain’s strength came from being America’s closest and most trusted ally. Now we’re being told not to bother showing up. How did we get here?

@RepThomasMassie Sit down, clown. Gather as much grift as you can while you can, because I think you're going to get sent home.

The administration admits 🇮🇱 dragged us into the 🇮🇷 war that’s already cost too many American lives and billions of dollars. Before it’s over, the price of gas, groceries, and virtually everything else is going to go up. The only winners in 🇺🇸 are defense company shareholders.

@wil_da_beast630 We need Uncle Billy today. Or at least to photoshop Hegseth's head onto this iconic photo.

Counterpoint:

@connxbot @StevenEKuhn European nations have allowed themselves to be reduced to beggary. Beggars don't deserve respect. Your entire continent is a hobo with a pencil cup, a street performer with an outstretched hand. We'll toss you pennies when we want to, and you'll dance when we tell you to.

@StevenEKuhn Europeans are hurt because they were threatened. I'd say more than offended It's not about the truth, as some of what Trump says is true and needs to be said Friends don't threaten each other. Friends communicate in non-abusive ways America has behaved like an abusive partner

DAVOS: THE SHORT VERSION (NO FLUFF) (Sorry for the photo, nothing personal to my EU friends) Let me give you the compressed version of what actually happened at Davos. 🇺🇸 Donald Trump What he said (synopsis): •America is done subsidizing bad trade deals •Sovereignty matters more than global consensus •Greenland is strategic and negotiable •Leverage beats lectures Tone: Direct. Blunt. Very American. Observation (mine, not medical): He looked very tired. Not weak, just worn down. I genuinely hope he’s okay. Impact: He reset the room. Davos stopped being theoretical. ⸻ 💰 The “Fed guy” — Scott Bessent (U.S. Treasury) What he said (synopsis): •Markets aren’t panicking •U.S. debt is fine •Europe is overreacting •“Take a breath” Translation: America isn’t scared, and we’re not slowing down to make Europe feel comfortable. Why Europe hated it: They expected reassurance. They got dismissal. ⸻ 📦 Trade — Jamieson Greer (USTR) What he said (synopsis): •Tariffs are not radical, they’re historical •Free trade hollowed out the U.S. middle class •Balance matters more than ideology Translation: Globalism didn’t fail accidentally. It failed structurally. Why Davos didn’t like it: He challenged the core religion of the room. ⸻ ⚡ Energy — Chris Wright What he said (synopsis, reported from closed sessions): •Energy security comes before climate theater •Oil and gas still matter •Supply beats slogans Important: These remarks were reported from closed-door meetings. I cannot confirm a public Davos speech transcript. Why it mattered: It exposed the gap between elite narratives and physical reality. ⸻ 🔥 Howard Lutnick — Commerce Secretary What he said (reported, not verbatim): •Europe’s energy policy is delusional •Coal works when renewables don’t •America isn’t apologizing for winning Reaction: Jeers. Walkouts. Christine Lagarde reportedly left early. Was it harsh? Yes. Even by American standards. Was it intentional? Absolutely. Sometimes clarity requires friction. ⸻ 🇫🇷 Emmanuel Macron What he did (synopsis): •Warned against U.S. “coercion” •Framed America as destabilizing •Played the familiar moral authority card Reality: Same speech. Same posture. Different decade. Boring. ⸻ 🇪🇺 Ursula von der Leyen What she said (synopsis): •Europe will lead the “largest free trade bloc in the world” •Focus on South America / “Latin America” •Regional partnerships are the future Translation: Globalism isn’t dead, it’s being rebranded. What this really was: Globalism light. Same system. New label. America not invited. ⸻ 🇨🇦 Mark Carney Now this part matters. Trump warned Mark Carney to watch his tone in public remarks about U.S. policy. Trump wasn’t tolerating proxy criticism, even from allies. His speech was the same as always: Globalist Chit chat ⸻ THE BIG PICTURE (WHY THIS WAS A SMACKDOWN) Europe wasn’t offended because Americans were rude. Europe was offended because America stopped pretending. Davos runs on: •Polished language •Managed outcomes •Consensus without accountability America showed up with: •Leverage •Direction •Consequences Yes, it was harsh. Yes, it was uncomfortable. But here’s the thing: After all the outrage… after all the editorials… Deals still happened. Including Greenland. Yes: Trump and Greenland came to an agreement. See the structure European leadership? Try it sometime. Intent. Planning. Action. Delivery. Results.

@GlobalWatchClub I have one Tag Heuer and four Longines. I've always been a Longines fan, so my heart leads me there, but my brain does, too. They are, in my experience at least, a better-built watch than a Tag.

Which Brand do you think makes better watches? - Tag Heuer - Longines

@miles_commodore Play along. A time will come when you wish you could hear it again.

When a family member over 85 years old is telling you a story for the 28th time, should you say something or play along?

@Not_the_Bee Well, it won't be the Borg, because the Borg aren't stupid. "You will be assimilated. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will..wait, never mind. Please carry on."

I don’t know about you guys but if I’m ever forced to watch more than 7 seconds of this new Star Trek I’ll be rooting for whatever species is able to take out the Enterprise the fastest

@Mike_Pence Eat shit.

On this fifth anniversary of January 6th, I wanted to pass along remarks I made about that fateful day at the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award ceremony last year. I first spoke about the men and women in uniform- the true heroes that day; how I will always believe that, by God’s grace, I did my duty to see to the peaceful transfer of power under the Constitution and I expressed my heartfelt gratitude to the countless Americans of every background who have reached out with a word of encouragement these past five years. January 6 was a tragic day but it became a triumph of freedom when, after Capitol Police quelled the violence, leaders in both chambers in both political parties reconvened the very same day and finished democracy’s work under the Constitution. The Constitution is the common ground on which we stand. In these divided times, I believe more than ever that on that common ground we will forge a boundless future together and America’s best days are yet to come. So Help Us God. Mike Pence January 6, 2026 Zionsville, Indiana

@Matt_Pinner Cher

Who is this? Wrong answers only.

@EricIdle Aren't you British? Maybe you should fuck off. Or, as they say in Britain, تراجع.

Why I dumped my Tesla.

It's long been tradition for me to play Halo CE on Christmas Eve. I realized today that the last time I turned on my Xbox was to play Halo CE LAST Christmas Eve. Everything I play now is on Switch/PS5/Steam Deck. I miss the glory days of the Xbox 360. 😢

@IndubitablyTho @TheTrekCentral 162

@TheTrekCentral On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being very much and 1 being not at all, how woke will this Trek be?

🚨 BREAKING - New Star Trek: #StarfleetAcademy Poster! The first season of the new #StarTrek live-action series premieres January 15th on Paramount+ 🖖 Will YOU be watching?

@4thOfJuly365 Putin. He is least damaging to the country I live in.

This is a tough one 😂

@BaronDestructo Sorry, Carter. It has to be Spock. There was never any other choice.

It all comes down to this... Choose Your First Officer/Second-in-Command (Championship Finals) Choose!

@DefiantLs Check the crime rates where this is allegedly happening. If they haven't gone down swiftly and significantly, then it isn't true.

“We believe the National Guard is rounding black people up and putting them in detainment camps.”

@WallStreetApes I have West Penn Power, and I don't think any of us would notice more outages or another rate increase. It's already ridiculously expensive, and the entire generation source is two squirrels running on a wheel, and one of them is lame. Having WPP is like living in fcking Cuba.

Pennsylvania power bills going up December 1st. The increase is 800% ‌ Capacity price $29.50/ megawatt per day New Capacity price $270.35/ megawatt per day ‌ This is a 800% increase and customers will pay $2.18 billion dollars more ‌ Pittsburgh news says it’s due to data centers ‌ “The power bill is going up, maybe five of the most dreaded words ever. ‌ The increases are significant. ‌ So there's a company that makes sure there's enough electricity in the grid to match demand. ‌ — The company I just talked about, PJM, it does a capacity auction with the increase per megawatt day going from about 30 bucks to more than 270. That's an 800% increase, with customers like us paying nearly $2.2 billion more. ‌ There are two parts to your electric bill. There's the supply and the delivery charge. ‌ This increase impacts the supply charge. ‌ - Power company DLC will go up about 10%. - Power company WestPenn will go up about 6% - Delivery rate is staying the same - So your overall bill will go up about 3%. ‌ So why is this happening? Data centers, along with more connections, says FirstEnergy's Chris Hoenig”

@SenFettermanPA Then tell your fellow Dems to stop calling for a military coup. Works both ways.

I strongly reject this dangerous rhetoric. Do not threaten Members of Congress. Republican or Democrat. It’s deeply wrong with no exceptions—ever.

@RepJeffries Maybe you should take your own advice, insurrectionist shitstain.

Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut.

@ChrisMurphyCT Good idea. I pick Trump's side. Now go fuck all the way off.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

@BaronDestructo Ivanova. God sent her.
