@SickoftheC @MorePerfectUS I'm in favor of nationalized health care. But should we outlaw alarm clocks so knocker-uppers can get their jobs back? Tractors and combine harvesters so we can get back to being mostly farmers again?

@MorePerfectUS Driverless Cars should be OUTLAWED NOW MILLIONS of jobs will be saved MILLIONS. All they are going to do is make Rich Corporations RICHER And don’t give me the lives saved BS Lives would be saved with Universal Healthcare too But you don’t give a shit about that

NEW: If Waymo gets its way, 2 million workers will be out of work. When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, wages go down. Some drivers now have to work 12 hours day, 7 days a week just to get by. This isn't inevitable — but Big Tech is spending millions to make you think it is.

@YouCantKillTXT @thoroughlyhobbs @patriottakes Can you ever stop lying?

@thoroughlyhobbs @patriottakes Cool. You’re in the minority.

GOP candidate Brandon Herrera joked about shooting a Democratic voter as he taped a soda can to a metal target before blasting it with his AK-47. Reporter: “What did Dr. Pepper do to deserve this fate.” Brandon Hererra: “He voted for Obama.” 📎 youtu.be/8N_74zv0BVE

@stockcartels @eric_hontz Kinda difficult to hijack a train to a different destination, or to crash it into a skyscraper.

@eric_hontz Would be even worse if we regulated train travel like air travel.

I took a flight from Baltimore to Chicago. It took two hours to travel 700 miles.

@truered23 @CalypsoMach @sfchronicle So how is that any different from Swalwell? Nope, you just don't want to believe it about YOUR guy.

@CalypsoMach @sfchronicle Where was he convicted? E Jean Carroll was a joke. Accusers? Yeah anyone can accuse anyone but that doesn't make it true. Clinton was getting head in the W.H. Please. Guess he set the bar.

A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent. sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

@OCpatriot_ @Grace410381 @RepJeffries Bullshit. He was literally found liable for sexual assault against E. Jean Carroll. And she's not the only named one. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Tr…

I'll be real with you chief, the "BBBUUUUUUUTTTTTT Trump" thing is gettin' kind of old. You know what the difference here is? Actual women are giving these allegations and are willing to be interviewed and testify. ZERO of the allegations against Trump include women who are willing to testify or file suits. It's a big fat donut in that area, nobody is coming forward.

Statement on the Serious Accusations against Rep. Eric Swalwell.

@fowler23_sean @seasoner10 @tomhfh More like six years, and even two wouldn't be "only two."

@seasoner10 @tomhfh Life expectancy in the US is only a couple years less than the EU. There are a bunch of modern countries tightly grouped around 80 years old. You are acting like the us has a Congo tier life expectancy.

Europoor is an entirely accurate phrase. America is simply in a different league.

@bethanyshondark @JamesSurowiecki @JillFilipovic I mean, just because that's exactly what she says, that isn't what she's saying.

@JamesSurowiecki @JillFilipovic That’s not at all what she’s saying and you know it.

Katie Miller thinks it's a bad thing teenagers are having fewer babies. These people are nuts.

@atrupar "Last year" Trump was president. And eggs shot up in price *during* his presidency. Because of bird flu, nothing he'd done, but this professional liar knows this wasn't anything to do with Biden nor was the drop anything to do with Trump.

Brooke Rollins: "Affordability is at the top of the president's list. Egg prices are down 80% since last year. We've been really working on that. We've got some other veggies that are down."

@cand6075 @atrupar It absolutely was not a real thing. Oil production went up significantly under Biden, after nose-diving under Trump during COVID. eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/…

@atrupar Biden's war on energy was a real thing. Biden was no friend to farmers.

FOX BUSINESS: What are you doing to make sure farmers can get what they need without breaking the bank? BROOKE ROLLINS: Well, the Biden administration ...

@JBU_Show @Boenau You think traffic in DC wasn't already gridlock? This actually reduces it.

@Boenau No, something “magical” happens when you turn traffic into gridlock and allow no other option. 🙄 If biking is so useful you wouldn’t haven’t to turn driving into a punishment.

"Residents won't use bikes or scooters." "Commuters won't use bikes or scooters." "Tourists won't use bikes or scooters." And then something magical happens when you create a network of bike lanes.

@ZaTk_21 @Axle_Spin @HotSotin @JMilei And neither are being proposed by Democrats, any more than they are in Sweden and other European countries. The defining feature being government control of business, which you see more from Trump ("no more solar farms or 'windmills'! You can sell chips if I get a cut") than Dems

No, communism and socialism are not completely different.... They are closely related ideologies within the broader Marxist tradition, with socialism often viewed as a transitional stage or milder form leading toward communism. The terms overlap significantly in theory and practice, though they have distinctions in emphasis, goals, and historical usage.

Crazy idea: Let's split a country in socialist and capitalist halves and check in on them in 75 years.

@ArtCandee Median household income: CA $100,600 SC $76,780

The big goal of House Rep. Ralph Norman in the South Carolina GOP gubernatorial debate last night is to keep liberals out of the state: "My biggest fear, if we have lackluster, feckless leadership, we're gonna end up like California which is the dregs of society now...We've gotta restrict South Carolina, not let everybody in." 🤣

@RedWavePress As opposed to Iran now making lots of money selling their oil as they are the only ones who can send tankers through the straits, and the price they're getting is much higher.

President Trump: “I terminated Barack Hussein Obama’s Iran nuclear deal that was a disaster. Obama gave them $1.7 billion in cash, green, green cash. Took it out of banks in Virginia, D.C., and Maryland.” “All the cash they had flew it by airplanes in an attempt to buy their respect and loyalty, but it didn't work. They laughed at our President and went on with their mission to have a nuclear bomb.” “His Iran deal would have led to a colossal arsenal of massive nuclear weapons for Iran, and they would have had them years ago, and they would have used them. It would have been a different world.” 
“There would have been no Middle East and no Israel right now, in my opinion.”

@Andykoehler12 @LLBiggers The transcript of the movie is online, and says the opposite of this. "There’s a difference between floating ice and land-based ice. It’s like the difference between an ice cube floating in a glass of water, which when it melts doesn’t raise the level of water in the glass[...]"

@LLBiggers Remember that clip from the movie. They showed an experiment you can do at home. Showing a cup of ice overflowing as it melts. They did a cgi because it doesn't work. That was when I dropped off this cult

Al Gore just said “none of the predictions from the past 20 years have been wrong from climate scientists.” This inspired me to go back and watch the classic An Inconvenient Truth. Upon rewatch it was worse than I remember!

@thehealthb0t You're claiming that an ingredient in a Big Mac from 2000 was, and I quote, "bun." Assuming this is true, the big difference in what appears is what must be listed.

Older people saying that they ate or drank this junk as a child and are fine, well, large difference in ingredients over the last few decades

@MatrixMysteries Are you really that worried about Big Grocery? I'm not that concerned about Publix, Piggly-Wiggly, and Harris Teeter knowing what cereal I like.

New shopping carts are quietly replacing cashiers in America. They can scan each item, weigh your produce, and let you pay without ever speaking to a cashier. Automation is becoming surveillance.

@C_3C_3 NATO has a defense budget of roughly $5.3 billion for 2026, of which the U.S. pays roughly 15%, exactly the same as Germany. nato.int/en/what-we-do/…

Are you sitting down? The American taxpayer is responsible for 62% of NATO’s defense budget. It’s way past time America leaves NATO. Let them fend for themselves. Most NATO countries are not our allies. Facts.

@DianaNazaroff @shellenberger @grok Good thing natural phenomena have never affected any other form of -- *cough* Fukushima -- power generation...

@shellenberger And then there was this: @grok was there a recent storm that destroyed a large solar panel array?

We should have spent more on green energy, say the media. No, we shouldn't have. The $2 trillion we spent did nothing to prevent the energy crisis and may even have caused it.

@AFpost In 2024, the US spent 3.42% of its GDP on the military. Iran spent 2.01% of its GDP on the military.

State Sec. Rubio: “Imagine if instead of spending billions on weapons, Iran spent that money on its people. They’d have a much different country.” Follow: @AFpost

@SandyofCthulhu Wrong. You're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. Property taxes are THE primary source of revenue for counties and municipalities, which provide different and separate services than higher levels of government.

But why is it on your house? Why not tax your washing machine. Or your carpet? Or the black velvet paintings handing on your walls? It's completely arbitrary, and seems unfair, particularly because we are ALREADY HEAVILY TAXED for those damn public services.
