Trump’un danışmanı Miller:
“Erdoğan’dan zekice silah hamlesi!
NATO’ya katılan liderlere içinde mermi bulunan silah hediye etti fakat Avrupalı liderler bu silahları ülkesine sokamadı.
Daha bir silahı bile ülkesine sokamayan liderler savaş zamanı ne yapabilir?
Erdoğan tek hamleyle bunu dünyaya gösterdi.”

@defense_civil25 It is about time that you lot grew up. Absolutely embarrassing.

@bennyjohnson You pay nobodys bills.
The sacrifices you made in the second world war are honoured. But you made them primarily for the US. Not for anyone else.

@campbellclaret @CountBinface If @CountBinface can secure the anti Farage vote he could win or at least make a real contest of it. Just what Nigel wanted and the rest of us need.
English

Hope it is right that the main parties are all sitting out the Clacton distraction and not playing Farage’s Trumpian game. But it is a tough call for @CountBinface …. I mean, Farage stock falling so fast he could win. And I suspect he would be a better local representative than Nigel No Surgeries has ever been

@SenTomCotton FIFA didn't do the right thing. There is a process that the US should have followed. It didnt. If Trump doesn't like the next referee will he pick up the phone at half time and have him changed?
English

I admit that I’m not the biggest soccer fan, but I’m glad President Trump urged FIFA to do the right thing. Good for President Trump, good for Folarin Balogun, good for the USA. I wish liberals could put their country ahead of their politics just once, but I guess that’s asking too much. Let’s join together tonight and cheer our team on to victory.

@ellencarmichael The card was recinded not because it was unfair but because the head of state of the host nation picked up the phone and complained to the head of FIFA. The decision undermined the integrity of the game. If Trump doesn't like the next ref will he have him changed at half time?

The most interesting part of the red card saga isn't the ruling. It's how differently Americans and Europeans process the idea that they might have been wronged.
Europeans are fundamentally different from Americans in one particular way: they expect life to be aggravating and at times unfair. It's just a fact of moving through the world. I joke that in Europe, the customer is always wrong. You didn't read the fine print. The only pharmacy in town is closed every other Tuesday for three hours, and even if the times weren't posted, that's still your problem. Too bad if you want the bill, because the waiter's on his union-mandated half-hour smoke break, and you're just going to have to wait.
To quote the great Mark Knopfler: sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. There's something freeing in that. Things are less in your control, so there's less angst in managing your expectations.
In America, things couldn't be more different. We simply can't accept a wrong left unrighted.
The flight attendant sneezed handing you a drink on your one-hour flight? 15,000 frequent flyer miles. Didn't like your appetizer? A replacement is on the way, and the whole course comes off the bill. There's a reason our interstates are lined with trial lawyer billboards.
Europeans have turned complaining into a continental pastime with no expectation that the universe owes them a remedy for their grief. You gripe about the train being late, your friends nod solemnly and everyone goes back to their apéro. In America, we launch a full-blown investigation of the train system, sue the government (and its contractors) that allowed for the tardiness and hold a Congressional hearing on the state of national infrastructure.
So to an objective observer, the red card shouldn't have happened, and VAR was a travesty. To Americans, our star player shouldn't be unfairly banned from a match we couldn't afford to lose for a card he so obviously didn't deserve.
Who cares that FIFA used a little-used reversal to fix it. Who cares that other people are mad about it. We. Were. Wronged. It was unjust. It must be corrected. We would accept nothing less.
Europeans waxing poetic about the sanctity of the game are, of course, talking about a governing body whose last tournament host was decided via confirmed cash bribes — one that imposed dress codes on women, shrugged off widespread allegations of modern slavery and reconfigured the entire tournament calendar to suit the host country. Which is exactly the point. If you've made peace with all of that, at least enough to watch the tournament four years later, a probationary suspension isn't actually a scandal.
Maybe that's the real divide. Over millennia, Europeans have made peace with being the bug. Americans have never once considered it, and apparently, we're not about to start now.

America turns 250 today.
Let me read back the resume.
We started by telling a king to pound sand, in writing.
By 1803 we bought half a continent from France for about four cents an acre.
We fought a war with ourselves and somehow stayed one country.
We strung a railroad across the entire thing.
We handed the world the lightbulb, the telephone, and the airplane in about thirty years flat.
Then a man named Willis Carrier invented air conditioning and made half the planet actually livable.
You are welcome, Texas. You are welcome, Dubai.
Twice the whole world caught fire, and twice we showed up and helped put it out.
We split the atom.
We put men on the moon in 1969.
Then we went back and hit golf balls up there, because why not.
We invented jazz, blues, rock and roll, and hip-hop, and the whole planet is still dancing to it.
We put a burger and fries on every corner of the earth.
We built rockets that fly themselves home and land standing straight up.
We flew a helicopter on Mars.
We launched a car into actual space and it is still out there cruising.
We also invented ranch dressing and somehow talked the entire world into putting it on pizza.
Priorities.
We even invented three of our own sports so we could win them.
Baseball, basketball, and football.
Real football, the kind with hands, because we named it and we are not taking corrections.
The rest of the planet can keep soccer, which is fine, we are hosting it in our backyard this summer anyway.
And yes, Canadian football exists, wider field, extra man, one fewer down, and we try very hard not to think about it.
Frankly it was generous of us to invent our own games.
If we put all that energy into soccer, nobody else would ever lift that trophy again.
We would win it so often they would just rename it the America’s Cup and hand us the keys.
You are welcome for the suspense.
And in 2026 we threw a birthday so big a German tourist live-tweeted our gas stations to 750,000 people.
Not every chapter was clean.
We argued, we stumbled, we fixed what we broke, and we kept building.
That is the whole trick.
Two hundred and fifty years in, and we are still the loudest, brightest, most improbable experiment on the map.
Not bad for a country that started as a strongly worded letter to a king.
Happy birthday, America.

…’all men are created equal, endowed with rights including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that governments derive their power from the consent of the governed’
Revolutionary at the time. The conviction of every democracy today.
Happy 4th July 🇺🇸

Happy 4th of July, and Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸

@FBIDirectorKash You could start by launching an investigation into your boss

@NileGardiner @Nigel_Farage That is one way of putting it. A grifter and charlatan is another.

Terrific remarks tonight by @Nigel_Farage in Washington, DC celebrating the US/UK Special Relationship as America turns 250.
A true friend of The United States and the American people. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

@vonderleyen Or they could have paid their taxes (incurred in defending them from the French) and become a warmer version of Canada.
English

Today, we join our American friends in celebrating 250 years of independence.
The Declaration of Independence gave birth to a new nation founded on the ideals of liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
For 250 years, our transatlantic partnership has been shaped by our shared values and family bonds.
And, at times, it has been strengthened by the immense bravery and lives lost in the defence of freedom.
The Statue of Liberty 🗽 remains the enduring symbol of that lasting friendship.
So tonight, fireworks will light up the skies on both sides of the Atlantic.
Happy 4th of July.

@savanah2j You love them that much that you built a wall, and round them up at gunpoint
English

Americans are absolutely NOT rooting for England, ESPECIALLY on our 250th freedom celebration. We love Mexico and Mexicans and Mexican food and Mexican beaches.

Así está el mapa para 🏴 Inglaterra vs México 🇲🇽 Correcto?

@BeastModeSoccer England should have prepared for this by training in the away end at St James Park.

@StephenM Is this the man who believes that the Congressional Forces took over the airfields and recently had a chat with Teddy Roosevelt?
