NATO doesn’t have one giant bill the U.S. covers. Each country pays for its own military. NATO's shared budget is small, and the U.S. share is about 16%, not 70%. That “70–80%” number is simply America’s own defense spending, which Washington chooses because it maintains the world’s largest global military. Kicking allies out because they won’t “send ships” to every theater also ignores a basic fact: NATO is a defensive alliance. If the U.S. left NATO, it wouldn’t magically “save” 70% of its defense budget. In reality, it would have to spend more, because it would lose the bases, logistics, intelligence sharing, and strategic depth provided by 31 allied countries. reuters.com/fact-check/us-…

That wasn’t a NATO decision. Greenland is Denmark’s. And Trump’s hostility to NATO didn’t suddenly appear over Greenland. He was attacking the alliance as far back as 2016 and openly flirting with pulling the U.S. out. So this isn’t about a single slight. It’s a pattern of undermining a critical security alliance in ways that directly benefit Putin and weaken Western unity.

BOMBSHELL: Trump let slip that his beef with NATO childishly stems from allies refusing to sell him Greenland. Risking our global security because a toddler didn’t get his way. Unbelievable.

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS): A cultist mindset so consumed by loyalty to Trump that it rejects obvious facts, denies reality, and invents excuses for his failures and authoritarian behavior, even when doing so works against one’s own interests. It shows up most in people convinced Trump will somehow deliver for them personally. That belief becomes so central that facts stop mattering, reality gets filtered, failures get excused, and everything gets justified, even when it works against their own interests. #25thAmendmentNow

Donald Trump was convicted by a jury on 34 felony counts in 2024. Not “discharged”, not “dismissed”. Convicted. Felon. Full stop. A judge can sentence, delay, or structure penalties, but they cannot erase a jury verdict because someone online feels like it. The case was about falsifying business records tied to the 2016 election. Filed in 2023. Tried in 2024. Receipts (because facts still exist): nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFs/pre…

@krassenstein FACT CHECK: Trump is not a “convicted felon”. He was charged by his election opponents in the middle of a campaign. All of the charges brought by his election opponents were either discharged or dismissed due to lack of merit. RATING: False, Missing Context

BREAKING: Trump - "With a little more time, we can easily open the Hormuz Strait, take the oil, and make a fortune. It would be a ‘gusher’ for the world." Newsflash. This is not our oil. It’s the Iranian peoples’ oil. What you were talking about is called theft. I wouldn’t expect anything else from a convicted felon.

@cheersbrandy Stalin purged his top generals in 1938, right before the start of WWII Result? He gutted the Red Army, replaced talent with loyalists, and when war hit in 1941, millions of Soviets were lost in catastrophic defeats.

During the Great Purge (1937-1938), Stalin eliminated thousands of military officers, including a huge portion of the Red Army’s top leadership because he feared they might challenge him. He chose loyalty over expertise. Result? The Red Army lost much of its experienced leadership overnight. Strategic planning and coordination broke down. Promotions went to politically reliable officers, many of whom lacked real battlefield experience. Units didn’t trust each other, and leadership turnover was constant. A culture of fear took over and commanders became afraid to make decisions, report bad news, or adapt in real time. Then came 1941. When Nazi Germany invaded the USSR, the consequences hit hard: - Millions of Soviet soldiers were killed or captured within months - Entire armies collapsed or were encircled - German forces advanced rapidly deep into Soviet territory - The USSR came dangerously close to total collapse - Total Soviet deaths were over 27 million. That's 14% of the Soviet Union's total pre-war population Historians agree that the purges had weakened the Soviet military and helped turn the opening phase of WWII into a disaster. Firing experienced leaders for political loyalty is how you weaken a nation.

The US launched a war with no clear objectives, no realistic endgame, and now expects other countries to step in and clean up the mess? No country is going to sacrifice its soldiers for a conflict that was never thought through in the first place, especially one intended to distract from the Trump-Epstein files.

Really? Kidnapping and forcibly transferring Ukrainian children into Russia and then calling that “regular public schooling” is your defense? The UN and the International Criminal Court have documented this widespread, systematic campaign and identified it as a war crime and an act of genocide Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children have been kidnapped and placed in institutions or with Russian families and subjected to assimilation through changes to citizenship and legal identity, separation from their families, placement far from home, and exposure to state propaganda. The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova over the unlawful deportation of these children. globalchildren.georgetown.edu/posts/russia-i…

Tom told J.J., ‘You’ve got to watch this kid in Attack the Block.’ J.J. watched it, and one thing led to another ... four or five years later, I was in [The Force Awakens]” (via @PopverseSays)

You managed to be wrong on law, facts, and basic logic in one post. Nice job. Undocumented immigrants pay billions in sales taxes, property taxes (by paying rent), and payroll taxes every year. They also contribute into Social Security, even though they are not eligible to collect benefits. Undocumented immigrants paid an estimated $26.2 billion into Social Security in 2023, helping strengthen the system’s solvency, even though most of them will never be eligible to receive any benefits. cbpp.org/blog/immigrant… If undocumented immigrants weren’t “subject to jurisdiction”, the US couldn’t arrest, detain, prosecute or deport them. But it does, every day. That alone proves they are subject to US law. Children aren’t “owned” by parents, and their legal status isn’t determined that way. Quoting the Constitution doesn’t mean you understand it. Even a child can copy and paste. Comprehension is the part you’re missing. The 14th Amendment says: “nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” Any person, not “any citizen” That means this protection applies to: - Citizens - Non-citizens - Undocumented immigrants This has been affirmed repeatedly by the courts. SCOTUS already settled birthright citizenship more than 100 years ago, in United States v. Wong Kim Ark: Born on US soil = citizen (with some narrow exceptions like diplomats) supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/…

The parents are illegal aliens, not citizens, and their children belong to them. Also, they are not paying taxes, so they are outside the jurisdiction of the law. I quoted the complete Amendment for transparency, something that was hidden by the original poster, that means they knew they were lying. You, on the other hand are just ignorant.

🚨 Do you understand what SCOTUS is about to decide? in 1857, the Supreme Court ruled that Black Americans... even those born free on American soil.. could never be citizens.. it was called the Dred Scott decision.. one of the most shameful rulings in legal history.. it took a Civil War and 360,000 Union deaths to fix it.. in 1868, Congress passed the 14th Amendment.. "all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens".. no exceptions.. no asterisks.. they wrote it that way on purpose.. so no government could ever again decide who counts as American on this soil.. it has stood for 156 years.. Trump signed an executive order trying to end it.. not a constitutional amendment.. not an act of Congress.. an executive order.. and SCOTUS is about to decide if that's allowed.. here's what nobody's saying out loud.. this isn't about immigration.. if a president can override the 14th Amendment with an executive order.. there is no amendment a president cannot override with an executive order.. one executive order just did what the Confederacy couldn't.

You quoted the whole amendment and still got it wrong. “Subject to the jurisdiction” means subject to US law, not “parents must be citizens" If you can be arrested, taxed, sued, or prosecuted in the U.S., you are subject to its jurisdiction. If undocumented immigrants were not “subject to U.S. jurisdiction”, then: They couldn’t be arrested They couldn’t be deported They couldn’t be prosecuted The Supreme Court settled this in United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898): Born here = citizen (with narrow exceptions like diplomats). The real question is this: if SCOTUS allows a president to override the 14th Amendment by executive order, what happens to the Constitution? What stops the next president from doing the same to the 1st or 2nd amendments?

Chopping up the 14th Amendment to support your bullshit argument is standard Leftist BS, let's look at the complete Section I of the 14th Amendment: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States nor any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protections of the laws." He left out "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof", what does that mean? This amendment was to turn all slaves through emancipation into citizens, and that is all. Being born here through parents that are citizens (illegal aliens) from another country does not confer birthright citizenship due to them not being subject to the jurisdiction thereof, which also does not provide for that same due process under the law that an actual citizen deserves. But the Left lies about everything, everything single thing out coming out of their blow holes are unmigrated lies.

Thanks to Trump's total failure to manage the COVID pandemic, hundreds of thousands died unnecessarily. He publicly downplayed the virus (“it’ll disappear”), resisted national coordination, and spread falsehoods (inject bleach). Public health experts and studies have shown that earlier action and consistent messaging could have saved many lives. In Minnesota alone, U.S. citizens were killed by federal immigration agents during enforcement operations. Call it what you want, but when government power ends in dead civilians, people have every right to demand answers. Nearly 3,000 Americans died in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria, the vast majority after the storm, due to long power outages, lack of medical care, and a slow, inadequate federal response from the first Trump administration. He told the January 6 rioters to "fight like hell" resulting in an attack on the US capitol which left at least six Americans dead. Over 170 people, most of them children, were killed when a school in Iran was hit by a missile strike, as part of a war to distract from the Trump-Epstein files. Trump's family separations, poor detention conditions, and lack of medical care led to hundreds of documented deaths and left children as young as 4 years old separated from their parents, with no plan to ever reunite them. And that’s just off the top of my head. We haven’t even touched the damage to U.S. democracy and institutions, or the deliberate division of Americans into “real Americans” and “enemies of the state” who supposedly deserve whatever happens to them. He has repeatedly encouraged hostility toward political opponents, while demonizing immigrants and trans people in ways that strip them of basic humanity. That kind of rhetoric isn’t harmless. It signals that some people are less deserving of rights, protection, or even safety. History has shown where that road leads. We've seen it all before, back in the 1930s.

Comer throws around “shell companies” and big dollar amounts to make it sound criminal. But after months of investigation, they still couldn’t prove: Joe Biden took foreign money Joe Biden changed policy Any actual quid pro quo This is projection and political theater trying to look like evidence, shifting focus away from the actual crimes of the trump family. If Comer had proof Joe Biden sold out U.S. policy you wouldn’t be seeing it in a tweet with arrows and logos. You’d be seeing indictments. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Phang: This is so typical of what has happened in this administration. Michael Flynn sued and is now going to be given $1.5 million in a settlement. Ashli Babbitt’s family is receiving $5 million. The Trumps are suing for $10 billion. Five members of the Proud Boys are suing for unspecified compensatory damages, plus $100 million in punitive damages. I mean, that is just a snapshot of the type of bullshit litigation that is happening right now.

After months of GOP investigations, no evidence showed Joe Biden took money or changed U.S. policy for his son. Even witnesses said so. This meme mixes facts with fiction and hopes you won’t notice. It’s propaganda and projection, not proof. Hunter Biden did business overseas. That’s documented. But after months of investigation, subpoenas, and hearings, Republicans still did not produce evidence that Joe Biden took foreign money or changed U.S. policy to benefit his son. In fact, key witnesses told investigators they were not aware of Joe Biden taking any official action tied to Hunter’s business dealings. oversight.house.gov/wp-content/upl…
