Alien Jetski

@GrageDustin You should definitely keep this confident energy. Everyone loves you and Trump. No need to change anything for the midterms.

I just stopped by the “No Kings” rally and noticed it’s dramatically smaller than past ones. They flew out Bruce Springsteen and Bernie Sanders for this flagship event. The weather is great. The energy just isn’t what it used to be for Democrats.

@PedanticKilljoy @DanFriedman81 We’re talking about who was president when the schools shut down. What are you talking about?

@alienjetski @DanFriedman81 It was Trump. Trump destroyed progressives' ability to emotionally regulate. So yeah, it is his fault, but not in the way you seem to want it to be.

The most radicalizing moment for most people was when the same officials who had kept children out of school for three months, destroyed millions of American businesses, closed all the churches and even banned outdoor funerals suddenly endorsed mass gatherings for George Floyd, and said that people had to weigh the public health dangers of Covid against the public health dangers of racism. But public health officials have done a number of other things over the last few years that damaged their professional reputations and eroded the public trust in and authority of their institutions. Here are several: 1.) They went all in on transgender ideology: In less than a decade, the number of clinics offering transgender treatment to children increased more than 100 fold. These treatments have never been demonstrated effective for resolving symptoms of any medical condition to a level that would allow them to be approved for these uses by the FDA. All of these treatments are off-label and untested. Public health authorities endorsed and even insisted upon their spread, with disastrous results for many vulnerable people. Leaders of medical and public health organizations were all over the media claiming there was no medically discernible difference between men and women, that there was no biological reason men shouldn’t play in women’s sports and that men could become women — all things ordinary people could easily perceive were false. Putting the imprimatur of “the science” on these claims didn’t legitimize transgenderism, it undermined trust in science. 2.) Racial rationing of medical care: Since many conservatives turned against Covid vaccines in their entirety, a lot of people don’t remember their controversial rollout, but the way they handled this is a big part of the reason why I personally believe that our public health system is worse than total chaos or nothing at all and support RFK Jr. wreaking havoc and gutting these agencies. By the time the vaccines were ready for distribution, we knew who was at greatest risk from Covid: The sick, people with chronic conditions and especially the elderly. The CDC’s problem was that the most vulnerable Americans were disproportionately white. So instead of prioritizing the old, public health officials at the CDC opted to give the vaccine to “essential workers.” Which workers did the CDC say were essential? Those in fields with a lot of black people. In New York, for the first few weeks the vaccine was available, it was only for people who lived in certain zip codes. Guess which ones. Similar policies were in place in a number of other cities This woke decisionmaking process killed thousands of people. CDC officials don’t just deserve to be fired; a lot of them should be in prison. 3.) Monkeypox: Monkeypox is a contagious disease that is painful, disfiguring and in some cases deadly. It is mostly seen in Africa, but in 2022-23, there was a major outbreak in the US with nearly 35,000 cases. This virus is spread through contact with bodily fluids. Specifically: 99% of monkeypox cases are reported in men and 94% of them occur in men who have had recent male-to-male sexual contact. The CDC declared monkeypox a public health emergency. What they wouldn’t declare was who was getting it or how it was transmitted. Their messaging was extremely obtuse on this, because they did not want to associate the disease with gay sex for fear of causing stigma. So Americans who were not at risk were wondering if they should keep their kids home and avoid public toilets while gay sex parties that were superspreader events continued to occur without objection from public health authorities. The CDC would not even advise sexually active gay men to get a vaccine, and many did not. Instead, they changed the name of the disease to “mpox” because “monkeypox” sounded racist.

@jimiuorio @JSmithSEA He created a secret police force of masked thugs who terrorized and murdered Americans. For one.

@JSmithSEA So that’s it? This protest is about Iran?

I’m not trying to be a smart guy here and I really want an honest conversation. What are you guys protesting? From the outside it looks pretty strange. I’m no big fan of Trump but enabling free speech, lowering taxes and regulations, promoting broad gun rights do not seem like characteristic of a “king”…if you feel like it(and are able) please explain?

If a journalist’s subtle criticism can plausibly be read as support for the position the are criticizing they are shit at writing. And you are a hypocrite. One can’t imagine you approving of an article about October 7th that ended with a member of Hamas saying “Israelis are violent people.”

Hate to single someone out, but this is what that stat about reading comprehension means. Most Americans are able to read the New York Times… but most aren’t able to *read* the New York Times.

@Sol_War_Veteran @wickdchiq Good style of debate to post a fake article to defend your position.

@wickdchiq One token As A Jew hater of Israel says something and the Jew Hate Chorus tirelessly promotes it. They have their token, cover for their hate, shield from having to acknowledge that they are racist haters.

“Jewish Currents editor-in-chief Arielle Angel. "Israelis have committed genocide. This needs to be accepted. There needs to be truth and reconciliation. Until that happens, I feel it's my job to help spur the divorce." apple.news/AF6H9XYpjQhCD4…

@CWMadel So your guys a reckless drunk and their guy is fat and we’re supposed to think somehow that’s the same thing?

Brought to you by the man who has never refused a cheeseburger, looks like he's literally full of beer, and ignores civil liberties for those with whom he disagrees. Pathetic hypocrite.

@rossiadam He realizes that they will kill his brother dipshit.

In this scene in the Godfather II, Frankie Pentangeli is about to testify against the Corleones in a Senate hearing. He is buoyant, basking in the attention, until he sees his brother from Sicily walk in. His brother gives him a disapproving look. In that moment he realizes that to testify against the Corleone would mean going against his own family as well, which is a bridge too far. He realizes that his deal with the government is done, and that he is most certainly a dead man. He accepts it with grace and does what he needs to do. At the end of the scene, Tom leans over to the brother and says “La famiglia è tutto,” or “The family is everything.” The family unit is the strongest force in nature. It’s something I don’t want my kids to ever forget.

@kinsellawarren @nytimes Seems a bit harsh to cancel and author who happened to be the first to make this mistake.

If true, she shouldn't be published by anyone again. She cancelled herself. "Horror Novel ‘Shy Girl’ Canceled Over Suspected A.I. Use" nytimes.com/2026/03/19/boo… via @NYTimes

@guypbenson Always smart to judge your enemies by what unhinged people on the internet say.

Man, left-wing Reddit is a dark place. I stumbled upon a thread while trying to find the podcast with Ben Sasse & Conan O’Brien, two of my favorites. Most of the comments are attacking Sasse, who’s dying of cancer, for thought crimes/being a “Nazi,” with some celebrating his diagnosis. Others angry at Conan for associating with someone so irredeemable. I can’t imagine living like that.

@kodkod87 @Mediocre4All @michelekelemen @svdate You can’t report from Israel without approval either.

@Mediocre4All @michelekelemen @svdate It's irrelevant if the government censors journalists or they self censor themselves knowing they could be imprisoned or murdered for telling the truth?

I asked the State Dept why it considers the CNN report propaganda. Here’s the response: The following is on background attributable to a State Department spokesperson: We encourage media outlets to verify information with official U.S. government sources before publication.

@Tyler_A_Harper Is it a surprise her son sang one of the most plaintive songs about this ambivalence? "You can be free, just please come home."

And to be clear, I think the New York media’s eagerness to glamorize polyamory—even as the stories they promote often have dark undercurrents—says a lot more about the media landscape than it does about polyamory per se. Anyway, here’s a gift link. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

A while ago I reviewed “More,” a memoir of a polyamorous woman. It received glowing coverage despite it being painfully clear, if you’re at all literate, that the author—a literal *cult survivor*—was manipulated into open marriage by her husband. She spends the whole book crying.

@Thelastthorn78 Show me the quote in the book where GRRM says he’s white.

@alienjetski Tf are you talking about? He's talking about the fact that the character was white in the book. Maybe do some research before saying dumb shit.

After reading the story this season is based on, this is the funniest and most racist casting of all time. I’m here for it

@AnonPlzX @khaliltooshort Dragons and white walkers are cool, but you draw the line at black people.

@khaliltooshort Immersion is ruined. I'm not here for it.

@juliush34 @keithedwards You have a gift for choosing the losing side.

@keithedwards lmfao weren't you just spending the last few weeks attacking Crockett and her supporters and being racist? No thanks!

The primary is over. Lets come together and do something Dems have not done for a generation — shock the world and flip Texas blue

@Mister___Q @megbasham Where in your scripture does it tell you to worship a corrupt sex pest who constantly lies as president?

You have to ask why the reaction to Trump is so intense. For some, disagreement turns into something deeper — almost visceral. Everything he does is filtered through suspicion. That kind of polarization makes you wonder whether more than politics is involved. Throughout Scripture, figures who confronted power structures were both deeply loved and deeply hated. Elijah challenged corrupt leadership head-on. John the Baptist confronted moral compromise publicly and paid for it with his life. Neither was neutral, and neither avoided controversy. When truth confronts systems, strong reactions follow. So the question becomes: are we simply watching ordinary political conflict — or are we seeing something that touches deeper spiritual tensions? When John the Baptist cried out to “make straight the way,” it wasn’t comfortable. It exposed hearts. It divided crowds. Some repented. Others resisted. . History shows that moments of disruption often reveal what people truly believe. Whether one sees today’s events as purely political or spiritually significant depends largely on one’s framework. At minimum, intense reactions — love or hate — usually signal that something deeper than policy is at work.

I gotta be honest, I’m feeling demoralized about our national cohesion in a way I never have before. No, not even through some of the most divisive elections we have ever seen. This hockey thing has just broken me. Because if there was anything over which I thought we could still cheer together as Americans, it would be seeing our boys play their hearts out on the global stage and seeing their goofy, tooth-busted grinning pride in representing the country that they love. I thought I still lived in an America where we would all celebrate that. And I guess that was naïve. But on some level, I really did. And now I realize, we’re not going to have any sort of common culture together anymore are we? Like there is literally nothing that the left is happy to just join us in celebrating. If we appreciate it, they will tear it down just to inflict pain on us. And maybe it sounds silly, but as this is hitting me in a new way, it’s making me really sad. Pray for our country.

@GrageDustin It’s the poor rural phent-heads and their aging MAGA parents who are going to be hurt by this you knob.

You’ve all heard about the daycare fraud. You’ve all heard about the food fraud. The Medicaid fraud in Minnesota is going to make those scandals look small. Expose it all.

@annbauerwriter Oh no! The racist bigots you support are being bigoted to someone you like. How utterly unpredictable.

Rep McBride has behaved with dignity and decorum and does not deserve this kind of mob pile-on. Save your disdain for people who earn it.

@BrendaWilsonIN Tariffs are taxes on Americans you absolute knob.

@SteveMooreRx @TheAtlantic @RadioFreeTom Maybe read the article before you argue with something it does not say?

Kicking out criminals who are here illegally and causing harm to the country is not xenophobic just because feelings are hurt. Putting the country he was elected to run first is quite literally the President’s job, and at least to me, this administration seems more interested in peace and safety for citizens than glorifying violence. Garbage take.

Trump has embraced fascist themes of xenophobia, nationalism, and glorification of violence, @RadioFreeTom argues. “I didn’t want to see what was happening to the Republican Party, until the durability of Donald Trump made it impossible to ignore.” theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…
