To everyone who questioned my reporting, called me crazy, and said I was making it all up: you can kiss my grits.

@TheTweetOfGod So, kids, all we have to do is call out opponents "commies" and we can justify doing anything we want against them. See?

Communism explained to kids:
- Communism fell in 1989 after proving itself a failed system completely incompatible with human happiness.
- No credible person in their right mind is a communist anymore.
- Falsely bringing back communism as a current existential enemy of the United States is the cynical move of an empty political party devoid of ideas.
-It's the kind of thing you do when your party itself is an existential enemy of the United States.

Communism explained to kids: - Kid A cleans the garage → earns $15. - Take $11 and give it to Kid B who played video games all day. - Repeat until Kid A refuses to work. Congratulations! You’ve just raised an anti-communist.

@RossKneeDeep The promise of power and what comes with it.
History is full of examples. Those grifters are no exception.

You know what's crazy to me? The power of that Trump Kool-aid. He talked about most of the people in the Republican party who now surround him.
Calling their wives and children ugly. He called them stupid and low IQ. He even accused one of their fathers of killing, President John F Kennedy.
Yet, they've all bowed down and kissed the ring.
Every single one of them.
Can anyone explan a person giving away their self respect and dignity?

Trump is now going to add 20% to the price of everything that travels through the Strait of Hormuz? What's the constitutional authority under which he can exact tolls on global transport?

@OldGassy1984 Best imitation of Mr. Bean's walk I've seen. Rowan Atkinson would be proud

@highbrow_nobrow Trump dismantled the DoE and left learning to the states- but Miller said they won't tolerate the states teaching kids "communism".
English
Melania Trump at the UN: "A nation that makes learning sacred, protects its books, its language, its science and its mathematics. It protects its future. This leads to something powerful, to greater understanding, moral reasoning and tolerance of others."

@AmanitaFugax She's on a 4-lane "highway" with cars parked on the side. This is NOT an interstate. Cars are coming into the lane and she is downshifting rather than just braking.

I’ve driven stick for 12 years and at no point have I ever shifted this much at highway speed with no obstructions around
What is happening
Ryan Cey@RCEY28
This girl is cruising down the highway in her stick shift, windows down, wind in her hair, belting out songs while she shifts gears without missing a beat. She looks genuinely happy and in control. Most people these days never learn how to drive manual. It takes real timing and coordination to get the clutch and gas right, especially when you’re just trying to have fun and sing along. Seeing her do it so naturally makes you realize how much of that skill is disappearing. Do you think driving stick is becoming a lost art, or do you still think it’s worth teaching people even if almost every new car is automatic?
English
@RCEY28 First of all, I've been driving manual all my life. There is no doubt that automatic (especially CVT) is an improvement for an overall driving experience.
Secondly, can someone please tell me what this woman is doing? She seems to randomly change gears without visible effect.

@petersavodnik Unless it's Trump, of course, because can you blame him he was so unjustly persecuted that he couldn't keep himself from lashing out yadda yadda.
English
I once interviewed an American lawyer who had helped prosecute Nazis at Nuremberg, and he had watched them hang, and when I asked him to describe the experience, he said, “Harrowing,” not because he had any misgivings about Nazis being punished for their crimes, but because we were talking about life and death, and it felt monumental.
This is how normal people think. They don’t celebrate death — even the death of someone who didn’t vote the way they would have preferred he voted. They’re certainly not “overjoyed” by it. They may come to the conclusion that it’s necessary and just, as in the case of the American lawyer at Nuremberg, but they are also cognizant of the gravity, the finality, of death. They are not Bolsheviks or savages about it.

@Schwarzwald77 Are you offended? Let me clarify: I’m elated that he’s dead. Overjoyed…. Just like he was elated at seeing countless dead children throughout Middle East.

@DrcharlieWardQ Cause Scott Jennings is a liar. It was 1.4 million LAWFULLY PRESENT immigrants . It takes all of 5 seconds to look it up.
English
HOLY CRAP 🚨: Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY): “Federal law prohibits undocumented immigrants from receiving Medicaid benefits.”
Scott Jennings: “Then why are 1.4 million on it?”
Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY): "That‘s a figment of your imagination."
Scott Jennings: "It‘s a figment of the CBO‘s documents."
Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY): "Let me explain the facts to you."
Scott Jennings: "Is it or not?"
Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY): "Let me explain — it‘s not, actually."
Scott Jennings: “You are lying. Literally lying."
Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY): "No, that is not — it is not true."
Scott Jennings: "Lie. Liar. Lying.”

Take note.
This is the proper response when someone passes away, whether you agreed with them politically or not. There are some truly disturbed individuals in this country.

@highbrow_nobrow @atrupar "No need for a DoE- Only the states will have a say on how to teach their children! Also, we'll be telling the states what to teach their children"

Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America … As we close the Dept of Education and provide funding to states, we're going to make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."@atrupar (2025)

@puckrin "I had a beautiful call with Eye-ran just now- they are DESPERATE! They want to make a deal SO bad! The Strait is open again, talks are back on, and they better behave this time! Something something attention to this matter!"

@krassenstein Without checking, how many people in the comments failed to realize those were the actual words Trump used for Mueller when he died?
English
Lindsey Graham just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!
There are clearly a lot of emotions being flung around about Graham dying so suddenly. He was a war monger and diehard Trump Supporter until the very end of his 71 year life.
If you think that my statement above is horrible, then blame Trump. It’s not mine. I wouldn’t wish death on my worst enemy.
Below is the last known video of Graham. Yesterday.

@MAGAVoice The man is unhinged. And anyone who doesn't see the man is unhinged, is unhinged.

🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST DROPPED A POST THAT BELONGS IN THE HALL OF FAME 🔥
English
Trump tells the New York Post that if Iran assassinates him, "I've left instructions to just literally bomb them at levels never seen before" 🙃
