@cabsav456 @CurtisDavis He was never convicted, so innocent until proven guilty, right?

@CurtisDavis By the first Trump administration. Cool. Not our problem. He plead guilty, he doesn't get shit from taxpayers

So let me get this straight. The previous administration criminally prosecuted Michael Flynn. Michael Flynn pleaded GUILTY to the charges. Then Trump 2.0 pardons Michael Flynn. Flynn sues the previous administration for politically motivated prosecution. ...And the current Trump administration is settling the lawsuit with taxpayer dollars an UNDISCLOSED amount of $. There needs to be a law against this kind of self-dealing. This is absolutely maddening.

@ThomasEWoods The extent of the wars under Bush were somewhat unnecessary. The occupations, and Colin Powell's Pottery Barn "you broke it, you own it" mentality was what was narcissistic and stupid. Nation building in that part of the world was the height of idiocy.

What exactly was it that MAGA disliked about George W. Bush and the neocons? Do they even remember?

@ThomasEWoods Critics also said that Venezuela would be another "forever war", a quagmire where we had to have boots on the ground, remember? You're probably not aware of it, but progress is being made there now.

@SherryVoluntary @banksbyhustle @Skint_Eastwood1 You could be right, I couldn't really make out what was going on there. Based on his Youtube videos I have to revise my estimated probability of the other guy being a Karen up to about 50%. Ritchson seems sincerely struggling to do the right thing in life, like most of us.

@LT83030 @banksbyhustle @Skint_Eastwood1 The video from the celebrities pov

🚨 SHOCKING: 'Reacher' Star Alan Ritchson BEATS the Hell Out of Neighbor! What allegedly happened: - The altercation occurred around noon on Sunday (March 22, 2026) in a Nashville-area suburb in Tennessee. - The alleged victim, named Ronnie Taylor in the TMZ article, claims Ritchson was riding a green Kawasaki dirt bike (motorcycle) at high speed through the neighborhood, creating excessive noise and disturbance. - Taylor says he confronted Ritchson, asking him to "f**king stop this please," after similar incidents (including middle-finger exchanges the previous day). - Things escalated physically: Taylor alleges Ritchson punched him in the face multiple times, kicked him (including while he was down), and tried to run him off after falling off his own bike. - Two young children—reportedly Ritchson's sons—were nearby on their own motorbikes watching the incident. - Taylor filed a police report citing assault, with visible bruises and swelling mentioned. Police confirmed an investigation is ongoing, but no arrests have been made so far.

@SherryVoluntary @banksbyhustle @Skint_Eastwood1 Too funny. Melo preemptively blocked me from replying. On another note, I see that Ritchson is a pretty devout Christian and even has a Youtube channel about it. Kudos, that can't be easy in Hollywood.

@SherryVoluntary @banksbyhustle @Skint_Eastwood1 Damn right I would be intimidated by his size, but if I was pissed off by his arrogance I might ignore that. Maybe that is what happened here.

@SherryVoluntary @banksbyhustle @Skint_Eastwood1 My point was that pushing Ritchson would probably barely budge him where a smaller man might get pushed down. In any case push does not equal assault to me unless you are talking about the law. Legally there is no sliding scale for assault. I wasn't speaking of it legally.

That's like saying women can't commit domestic violence because their smaller than men. It's bs. People don't lose their bodily autonomy and right not to be physically agressed on because of their size. Anyways, you may be intimidated by this guy's size, but clearly the neighbor wasn't.

@RCownie @LarryShender @brithume Okay, I'm still not sure what your point is, I'm sure in your mind you have one. Since I am just here to entertain myself, and it seems like a real waste of time to engage with you, bye.

@LT83030 @LarryShender @brithume Keep explaining the ways this is NOT LIKE VIETNAM. Everyone wants to hear. I'm sure they'll be convinced.

From Bret Stephens in today's NY Times: "if past generations could see how well this war has gone compared with the ones they were compelled to fight at a frightening cost, they would marvel at their posterity’s comparative good fortune. They would marvel, too, at our inability to appreciate the advantages we now possess."

@avidseries "Far-right", Lol.

Musk must have realized that if Twitter deboosted certain Third World regions, a lot of the red meat pro-MAGA and far-right propaganda that he enjoys (like that from Ian Miles Cheong and Inevitable West) would get less circulation.

@EconguyRosie He knows they won't accept it. I used to think he was stupid too, but one of his strengths, it appears to me, is getting his foes to underestimate him. That makes it easy for him to get inside their OODA loop, and then it's game over. I believe that is what is happening now.

I find it hard to believe that the regime will accept Trump’s 15-point plan under any conditions. In fact, the Iranians are openly mocking this proposal. The only question is whether Trump is buying time or is feeling pressured by the public, the markets, and the price of gasoline to find a diplomatic off-ramp.

@LarryShender @RCownie @brithume Summarizing: Leftist: They are so stupid, they are getting us into another Iraq or Vietnam! Conservative: Uh, no, here are the reasons it is different.... Leftist: Aha! You have stepped right into the trap of talking about it! Stupid Republicans! Is that the logic here?

@RCownie @LT83030 @brithume Vietnam last over 10years this is 20 days Vietnam had 100k of soldiers on the ground today we have none Vietnam we had a draft and young men were forced to fight. Today we have a volunteer armed force and again no boots on the ground I guess you are right just like Vietnam

@RCownie @LarryShender @brithume You seem to think that pointing out the differences with Iraq and Vietnam in this context helps the left? Okay, Englishman, it doesn't sound that logical to me, but whatever.

@LT83030 @LarryShender @brithume So you're saying it's NOT LIKE VIETNAM ? Tell me more about the ways that it's NOT LIKE VIETNAM. Please proceed.

@TimSear85158585 @johnkonrad @DavidAFrench McChrystal endorsed Kamala Harris and presided over the retirement ceremonies of trans officers, just to give you an idea of where his biases lie.

@johnkonrad @DavidAFrench Yet another guy who thinks he knows more about war then a general who spend decades training and living the life. John must of acquired all his knowledge of battle from watching war movies while he was sitting in his nice comfy and SAFE cabin while sailing around the world.

McCrystal and could not be dumber if he tried. “Enjoy this part” What part @DavidAFrench? Trump has shipped ZERO tanks, ZERO heavy artillery, ZERO heavy logistics units. It’s a bombing and naval campaign with marine and SOF elements. NOT an army WAR. Stop comparing apples to oranges!

@RCownie @LarryShender @brithume In this war you don't have China right next door supplying the enemy, Iran's neighbors are either neutral or on the side of the U.S., the leaders of Iran are definitely the bad guys in the eyes of the populace, and we have a lot of the intel to target their leaders remotely.

@LarryShender @brithume C'mon, you didn't mention VIETNAM or IRAQ even once in that post. I'm disappointed. Stick to the script.

@AnnaEconomist Lol, the shhh... is hilarious.

We also have been flagging this. The diffusion index signals are corroborated by a very strong signal from the latest earning transcripts. Tariffs probably played a role (shhh…), as well as defense and data centers. Other places showing manufacturing recovery…manufacturing productivity, output production, and even payrolls have bottomed.

@SherryVoluntary @banksbyhustle @Skint_Eastwood1 Consider also what it means that whoever recorded this made it public. Maybe they sold it to TMZ, but since this is a very rich neighborhood it is also possible that they made it public not because they wanted the money but because they sided with the neighbor.

Idk, I live in East Tennessee l, and in my neck of the woods the first thing you do if your neighbor is doing something that bothers you is go over and talk to them. What you don't do is step in front of a moving vehicle like you have a right to decide what they can and can't do. I'm no fan of whoever that celebrity is, but that dude, who endangered himself as well as the driver, then assaulted the driver first, deserved to get his ass beat.

@SherryVoluntary @banksbyhustle @Skint_Eastwood1 Of course it is possible that the neighbor is the neighborhood Karen and if I knew him I would be cheering Ritchson on. Seems more likely to me that the star didn't like this nobody interfering and reacted accordingly, but we have no way of knowing for sure.

@SherryVoluntary @banksbyhustle @Skint_Eastwood1 It was pretty crazy for that guy to step in front of him. However, when you are as big and muscular as Ritchson, I don't think you keep hitting an older guy when they are already on the ground, especially in front of your kids.

@PastamanV_Mises @Skint_Eastwood1 Good call on your part, and also on the part of the police. He has probably suffered enough (and will continue to hear about it), and the other guy wasn't hurt that bad. I don't know why these things always seem to have to end up in court when social media is enough punishment.

@LT83030 @Skint_Eastwood1 Boom - like I said Brentwood PD will not be arresting him- I know a few of them - they hate pricks who incite this shit and then claim they were the victim
