@JeffRobbin29054 @hutchinson You know you’re retarded, right?

Seriously what the fuck happened with Gen X why are they so Trumpy??

@giablomi @hutchinson Where’d I do that? Make up more shit loser.

@JeffRobbin29054 @hutchinson Much worse, you retweet Trump.

@ps1291628 @CalltoActivism Another disgusting Indian who shits in a bucket

@CalltoActivism If federal agents violate someone’s rights, why should they be above the law? Accountability shouldn’t disappear just because the badge says federal.

🚨IT’S NOW OFFICIAL: Gov. JB Pritzker just made Illinois the FIRST state to let people SUE ICE agents for violating their rights. Federal immunity is blown to hell. This is the blueprint. Every state needs to wake the hell up and follow.

@AnatoliUkraine @CalltoActivism Fuck off back to Europe

About time. For too long, ICE acted like the badge was a shield for abuse, intimidation, and disappearing rights. Pritzker just did what cowards in other states keep refusing to do. Make agents answer to the law like everyone else. That’s the blueprint. Not more speeches. Consequences. Now let’s see who else has the spine to copy it.

@CalltoActivism lol that’s not how any of this works and pritzker knows it. He also knows his supporters are dumb enough to believe it.

@tryingattimes @MsMelChen lol you don’t even have a military

What sanctimonious claptrap. You are as alien to what drives us as Americans are. We are quite pragmatic, thank you. Betrayal isn’t a moral principle only. The largest European land war since WW2 is still happening, and we know perfectly well what our priorities are. Getting stabbed in our rear while dealing with them is not appreciated. America under Trump is a liability.

May I offer a different perspective on the whole transatlantic family feud brewing over NATO. Europeans are furious at what they call American unilateralism and "wars of choice," while Americans are done subsidizing allies who won't lift a finger when Washington actually needs them. Given all the sentimentality and historical baggage, there’s been a lot of bad blood and high grade insults thrown both ways. A lot of pride here is at stake. But given that I am not American or European, what I can provide is an Asian perspective. The whole thing looks very different as there are no blood ties or cultural nostalgia to pull me either way. Because of distance, the default Asian lens on America has always been colder, clearer, and far more pragmatic than the European one. Asians have never lived under the illusion that their relationship to the US is one based on shared values. If they ever did, the illusion was shattered during the Cold War. Instead, Asian nations saw the relationship to America as a cold, interest-driven bargain in a dangerous neighborhood full of communists, insurgents, and bigger powers. Fast forward to today, and this lesson still holds. Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore and Indonesia all partner with America because their interests (not values) align - especially when it comes to countering China. These nations have reasons to be alarmed about Beijing's ambitions in the South China Sea, around Taiwan, and across the Indo-Pacific. They don't need lectures about democracy or liberal international order to see the value in US forward presence, intelligence sharing, tech transfers, and security guarantees. It's a straight-up transactional deal: the US keeps the sea lanes open and the PLA at bay. Meanwhile, Asian nations host your bases, buy your weapons, and join your alliances (Quad, AUKUS, etc.). When interests diverge, they adjust pragmatically, without the drama and meltdown. Probably not many in the West know this, but one of the forces that shaped this attitude was the US pullout of Vietnam and the rest of America’s Cold War shenanigans. Lee Kuan Yew was one of America’s loudest cheerleaders in Southeast Asia. In 1967 he flew to Washington, testified to Congress, and begged Lyndon Johnson (and later Nixon) not to cut and run in Vietnam. He warned that a hasty US exit would trigger the dominoes - Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and then pressure on the rest of Southeast Asia. Singapore became a logistical hub, providing a haven for US troops on R&R, oil refineries supplying the American war machine, and Lockheed servicing aircraft. At one point, US military-related spending made up 15% of Singapore’s entire GDP. Singapore didn’t support the war because it loved American democracy but because it kept the communists tied up and bought Southeast Asia time to build up its own economy and military. Then came the pullout - the Paris Accords in 1973 and then Saigon falls in 1975. Despite all the lobbying, despite the blood and resources America had spent, domestic politics in the US (the anti-war movement, Congress, Vietnam syndrome etc.) ended it. LKY watched in disbelief as the superpower that had promised to hold the line simply walked away. The lesson was that American commitments are real only as long as they serve American interests and American voters don’t get tired. It’s a brutal one to internalize. LKY was disappointed and noted American “unreliability” but Singapore didn’t collapse into panic or anti-Americanism. They just recalibrated and kept pursuing pragmatism by building its own deterrent, diversifying partners, and later offered the US naval logistics access (Sembawang port) when the Philippines kicked them out of Subic Bay in the early 1990s. Malaysia drew the same conclusion. The Tunku was pro-Western and anti-communist early on, but Malaysia never joined SEATO and pushed ZOPFAN (Zone of Peace, Freedom and Neutrality) instead. When the British announced their East-of-Suez withdrawal in 1968 and Nixon’s Doctrine (1969) told Asians “you defend yourselves first, we’ll just help,” Kuala Lumpur accelerated its neutralist tilt. The message was clear - don’t count on Washington to bleed indefinitely for distant allies. South Korea is similarly pragmatic but it operates under far higher stakes due to baggage from the Korean War and the ongoing North Korean threat. American intervention literally saved the South from conquest, resulting in a bond that is forged in blood. While South Korea had to learn the same lessons - that the American umbrella isn’t permanent, sharing a border with a nuclear-armed adversary forces tighter coupling with Washington. The reverberations of Nixon’s 1973 opening to Beijing cannot be understated. It shocked the entire region that America, the great anti-communist crusader, suddenly would cozy up to Mao to counter the Soviets. If Washington could flip on core principles when interests demanded it, why should smaller states pretend the relationship was about anything deeper? The core Asian critique of the European approach to dealing with America is that it is entirely bound up in moral values and civilizational kinship. This means that every disagreement feels like a betrayal and breeds resentment on both sides. Because Europe is so hyped up on abstract values, it makes NATO feel like a sacred club that America is disrespecting. Asia's interest-based lens sees alliances as tools - useful until they're not. Maybe Europe thinks the Asian approach is cynical but the irony is that this is actually what keeps Indo-Pacific partners far more reliable counterweights to China than many NATO members ever were against Russia.

@HomeAwayWin @KamalaHarris You know you’re retarded, right?

Trump votes by mail himself but doesn’t want YOU to? This is straight-up voter suppression and dictatorship because he knows he’ll lose the midterms if real Americans can actually vote. He’s terrified of the people’s power. Mail-in voting IS democracy, keep exposing him Kamala💙

Donald Trump votes by mail. But this week, he signed an Executive Order so you can’t. Why? Because he is scared of your power, and he is scared of losing the midterms.

@IAbhay_Pratap @KamalaHarris Fuck off back to India and shit in a bucket

@KamalaHarris Americans regret that they chose the loudmouth Donald Trump as president instead of Kamala Harris. In 2028, Americans will correct their mistake and elect Kamala Harris as president. Am I right ?

@KamalaHarris Cackling retard

@giablomi @hutchinson lol this dude retweets James Talarico

@hutchinson They were spoiled and poorly educated by their Boomer parents. Sad generation of ignorant fools. Boomers made America great, Gen X fucked it up and continues to do so with Trump.

@melGmow @hutchinson @IfindRetards

@hutchinson The answer is multifaceted but they still buy into religion, believe life can’t be better, “pull up by your bootstraps” mentality, extremely selfish and are imprisoned by a close-mind. It’s sickening and I can’t stand that side of Gen X. They can all get fucked.

@RibGoneRogue @hutchinson lol blaming Reaganomics. If only we’d kept jimmy carter. Hahaha fuck off with that bullshit.

We lived pretty comfortably growing up, watched our parents buy houses and we went on vacations. Reganomics stripped us of that but a lot of us incorrectly blame Democrats. That and a bunch are still misogynistic, bigoted assholes raised by boomers who were anti-Civil rights and women’s rights.

@GeminiJack11 @hutchinson Back to the video games beta boy

@hutchinson Gen X hasn't accomplished anything of note. Gen X made Gen Z the way they are now. Stuck between Boomers who can't get past tradition and Millennials who actually push for change and evolution

@JulieRei @hutchinson lol what’s your excuse?

@hutchinson Lead poisoning when they were growing up caused permanent damage.

@David_Charts2 @hutchinson The combover ain’t helping bro

@hutchinson Since the economy does vastly better under Democrats, and Trump is a clear and present danger to the Constitution, the answer is: Racism / Bigotry. x.com/David_Charts2/…

@mridulgoswami @MargaretStillw5 @SpeakerPelosi I smell curry

@MargaretStillw5 @SpeakerPelosi Your country has existed for about 250 years, yet a third-world country became a nuclear power and the fourth-largest economy in just 79 years. As a first-world country, your actions affect everyone; therefore, everyone has the right to speak for or against you.

77 years ago, America and our allies came together to form NATO—an alliance rooted in peace & democracy.   Trump's threats to leave are not only shortsighted, they're a gift to Vladimir Putin.   The law is clear: No President can withdraw from NATO without Congressional approval.

@mridulgoswami @SpeakerPelosi Go shit in a bucket

@SpeakerPelosi Noted, but how can you stop a person who has become a megalomaniac and doesn’t stick to his own words?

@SenThomTillis @Astro_Christina You suck

Godspeed to the Artemis II crew! 🚀🇺🇸   North Carolina is incredibly proud of our own NC State alum @Astro_Christina Koch, a trailblazer who is an inspiration to us all.   Wishing the entire crew a safe and successful journey!

@ThomTillis Douche

Happy Father’s Day North Carolina!

@NYMag Evil fucks

Sooner or later, everyone has to decide whether to give up lazy weekends, disposable income, and overall peace of mind to have a baby instead. For many of those on the fence, one anxiety looms large: What if I make the wrong choice? Parent regret is more common than you might think — the r/regretfulparents sub-Reddit alone gets around 70,000 weekly visitors who anonymously commiserate — though stigma makes it hard to admit in real life. Writer Bindu Bansinath speaks with three moms of young children about why they wish they could go back to their old lives: nymag.visitlink.me/Sv0c_9
