@tommysantos14 @libsoftiktok Read the judgement. It’s filled with non-sensical anti-trust commentary. This was purely politically motivated, as comments from the Biden admin and various high-ranking dems (including the acting Secretary of Transportation) show. They actively voiced their opposition.
English

And what was the ruling on the case?
That’s right. It violated American anti-trust laws.
So the courts, and the law, stopped the merger.
Right?
You’re not suggesting the Biden administration should have allowed an illegal, harmful merger to take place, are you?
That would have actually been government intervention. And if you’re blaming a lack of government intervention - like the socialists you whine about, why are you skipping over Trump’s failure to save them?
You’re going back in time to blame a Democrat when your own orange deity actually did fail to save them.
No one’s buying this bullshit.

Since the paid MAGA influencer losers are executing their marching orders on this Spirit story, let’s inject some reality.
The Biden administration didn’t stop any Spirit mergers. The issue went to trial and a judge ruled that a Jet Blue/Spirit merger violated US antitrust laws, and would likely increase prices on consumers.
The courts ruled, correctly, that the merger violated the law and would hurt Americans.
So, fellow Americans: what MAGA is really saying is they don’t give a shit about the law, and they don’t give a shit if you had to pay more to fly.

@ggreenwald 1. This is CNN. Hard pass. 2. Report: “damaged…”; Glenn: “major destruction…”. Again, hard pass.
English

There's now good journalism on the major destruction imposed by Iran on most regional US military bases, using sophisticated and precise weapons.
But again: those whose understanding of the Iran War comes from Fox, the WH and Trump influencers have no idea this is happening:
CNN International PR@cnnipr
New CNN Investigation: At least 16 American military sites have been damaged in Iranian strikes, making up the majority of US positions in the Middle East. From CNN's @tamaraqiblawi and the Investigations team.

@_DramaticGaming @Bambit_enforcer @ScottJenningsKY Simply not true. This ‘war’ predates the existence of America, so your ridiculous claims lacks historical context and merit. “Death to America” is their slogan. We should believe them when they say it.
English

@jdoc_2023 @Bambit_enforcer @ScottJenningsKY Except we're the ones who created the problem in the first place and constantly make it worse by escalating aggression. Iran can be bad and our response to them *CAN ALSO BE BAD*.
English

@Bambit_enforcer @ScottJenningsKY No, America didn’t start the war. If we use your logic, then the war started before America even existed. The Obama deal was a joke- Iran blatantly ignored the terms (just ask the IAEA). If Iran had control of the strait, they wouldn’t be bleeding $$$ right now.
English

America started the war, and it was Trump who ripped up the agreement that ensured Iran never got nukes, as they were under the most supervision in the world. And now Iran has control of the Strait of Hormuz, and all the US can do is block Iranian ports in the Strait, while Iran has other ports like the Caspian Sea.
English

Call out the Trump market manipulation today Scott. “Iran new proposal submitted thru Pakistan🤡”
It’s disgraceful. Self enriching bullshit and is outrageous.
You can still support Trump.
But also. Grow a pair.
Be a ma and call out the unfathomable foolishness that Trump on repeat keeps pulling on America to put hundreds of millions in his own pockets
English

@Bambit_enforcer @ScottJenningsKY So you agree with the Trump administration that the war has to end, correct? And that no administration prior to his has done anything to stop it, correct?
English

“U.S. history started 8 weeks ago?” That’s funny, because your version seems to start after 1979 and skips everything before it.
1953 CIA-backed coup. Decades of U.S. support for the Shah. The Iran-Iraq War era. Iran Air Flight 655. Sanctions. Assassinations. Bases surrounding Iran. But sure, let’s pretend this whole story begins only when Iran responds.
Yes, Iran has hit U.S. interests and backed groups that attacked U.S. forces. Nobody is denying that. But acting like America suddenly “responded” after 50 innocent years is comedy.
If history matters, use all of it — not just the chapter that makes your side look clean.

I don't think people understand the magnitude of this reporting
Tucker has just shattered every viewer record for podcasting FIVE TIMES OVER
He's currently 7 times bigger than Joe Rogan on Youtube and is 20 times bigger per episode across all platforms
TWENTY TIMES BIGGER
Insane
TCN@TCNetwork
Tucker Carlson broke cable news ratings records at Fox, and today he’s reaching multiples of that audience independently, at 56.8 million views per episode across social media and podcast platforms.

@adammocklerr Annnd this is the extent of Mocklers debate talents- triggering people. No cogent points (tired ‘forever wars’ liberal meme, after 8 weeks of conflict?). No admission of success by T’s admin. Just petty mockery.

@EricLDaugh The kid is insufferable and petty. Parroting left-wing talking points is idiotic, and as with all other times it’s been done, will be beaten down with facts and results in due time. Bring him back on after that.

@gtconway3d No. A psychiatrist would be much more beneficial. And maybe a hobby.

Opinion: The left must learn to live with a conservative leader without reaching for violence, or for rhetoric that makes violence feel thinkable. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

@CollinRugg @RealDeanCain While the MSM and Dem leaders continue to deflect blame for this type of political violence, this ‘smart’ assassin has outed them all. Only the MSM and Dems continually push false narratives like ped@ and r@pist Trump memes. This guy obviously has fallen for their propaganda.

NEW: The manifesto for alleged White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman Cole Allen has been released.
In the manifesto, Allen mocked Secret Service for being "incompetent" and for the poor security at the hotel.
Here is the manifesto, in part, per the New York Post:
"Hello everybody!
So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused.
...
On to why I did any of this:
I am a citizen of the United States of America.
What my representatives do reflects on me.
And I am no longer willing to permit a ped*phile, rap*st, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.
...
Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest
Secret Service: they are targets only if necessary, and to be incapacitated non-lethally if possible (aka, I hope they’re wearing body armor because center mass with shotguns messes up people who *aren’t*
Hotel Security: not targets if at all possible (aka unless they shoot at me)
...
Rebuttals to objections:
Objection 1: As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek.
Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial. I’m not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration.
...
Thank you all for everything.
Sincerely,
Cole “coldForce” “Friendly Federal Assassin” Allen
PS: Ok now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone.
Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo.
What I got (who knows, maybe they’re pranking me!) is nothing.
No damn security.
Not in transport.
Not in the hotel.
Not in the event.
Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.
I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.
The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.

@BasedMikeLee All for what you say. But even without the filibuster, you don’t have the votes. 4 RINO’s stand in your way.

@NEWSMAX If there were any questions that the Catholic Church was a political activism body, here’s your answer.

Pope Leo on Thursday decried the world's treatment of immigrants, saying that often migrants and refugees seeking to escape violence or poverty are considered "worse than house pets or animals," in unusually strong remarks on the issue.
