@northman8887 @glennbeck What would you do with Iran?

@glennbeck I love the post hoc inventions of a strategy from the Trump sycophants. It would be comical if the war was not such a disastrous strategy. Glenn did you get these talking points from the neocon guest commentators at Fox? Just an absolute joke.

Iran’s Economy is collapsing. Their GDP is down 40%, they won’t be able to store their oil soon, and it looks like this was all part of Trump’s plan. Instead of boots on the ground, he’s choking off Iran’s ability to harvest and produce its oil. Reports predict that they may be days away from capping out their reserves. This would leave them with two options: burn the crude, which would be terrible optics at home, or try to get a ship through our blockade. But that would only buy them days at most. Both outcomes do not put Iran in any sort of winning position. And Trump did this WITHOUT boots on the ground.

11. Repost if you agree that it’s time for the Supreme Court to rethink this mess—the one created by the Supreme Court in NY Times v. Sullivan.

@chiproytx @KenPaxtonTX please tell me we’re running the same operations in Texas?

@zerohedge The hit squad is outside waiting their reply…

IRANIAN DELEGATION HAS ARRIVED FOR NEGOTIATIONS: PAKISTANI MEDIA NO CONFIRMED OFFICIAL INFO ABOUT THE ARRIVAL OF QALIBAF AND ARAGHCHI IN PAKISTAN: AL ARABIYA

@MarioNawfal This is your worst take.

The Gulf and Israel have no choice but to improve relations with Iran If Iran can survive bombardment by the world's largest military, they can survive anything The region has to learn to live with Iran and stop seeking to weaken or destroy them Welcome to the New Middle East

Cost seg + accelerated depreciation + RE pro status (so you can use the losses to offset active income) a v powerful combo (I actually looked into starting a business helping non-working spouses get and maintain RE pro status, but couldn't see a way to do it without coming very close to some legal lines.)

@BretWeinstein @Sargon_of_Akkad Calm yourself friend, he’s never running for office again. You can continue to sabotage the right, as you’ve intended since your Evergreen exodus, but you can’t deny the threats that exist from the IRGC globally.

@Sargon_of_Akkad Yes. It's a profound betrayal. Avoiding being dragged into a war with Iran was top of mind for many of us.

Trump, who I advocated for in 2024, has gone full "mad king." In considering my responsibility, I'd ask you to remember: The case I made rested on the fact that Biden/Harris were figureheads, shielding a cabal that couldn't be held to account, whereas Trump could. And we must.

@libsoftiktok @UCSFHospitals What is happening with its hairline?

Deranged nurse at @UCSFHospitals prays for Trump to die Any comment @UCSFHospitals? Are Republican patients safe at your facilities?

@JonStone101 I don’t give a damn about your opinion, or you personally. Have a nice day.

@jrsmith72 @_HenryBolton @AriFleischer If you don't need our help, why are you complaining and demanding we give it?

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@Arijanr @_HenryBolton @AriFleischer I’d leave NATO just to cut the dead weight of the Dutch…

@jrsmith72 @_HenryBolton @AriFleischer Okay kiddo. Now go and play with your dolls…. Yoy are too stupid to even understand what NATO is about.

@darkman_jose @_HenryBolton @AriFleischer Hopefully, NATO is less useful than tits on a bull.

@jrsmith72 @_HenryBolton @AriFleischer The point still stands.. you start a war on your own and complain later when you ask for help cause it wasn't easy? Honestly, I'm convinced DJT knew these countries would balk and it's his excuse to leave NATO.

@PreparedCamping @_HenryBolton @AriFleischer “whilst” 😂

@jrsmith72 @_HenryBolton @AriFleischer The US position changes every hour, over the last few weeks Trump has asked for help several times, whilst simultaneously saying he doesn't need help as the war is won. I suppose in order to make your mind up, it is a requirement that you have one in the first place...

@_HenryBolton @AriFleischer We don’t need England’s help, that’s why we didn’t ask for it. Ask yourself, when your country becomes a pathetic shadow of its former self, what will you do?

People like @AriFleischer are either immensely stupid, appallingly badly informed or incredibly dishonest. 1) Anyone can read the North Atlantic Charter (NATO Treaty) - just google it - and see for themselves that NATO cannot be mobilised for this war. 2) When has the UK sold the United States out? Never. The US has sold us out though, a few times. 3) UK bases are being used daily for strikes on Iran. 4) If you wanted allied support in this war, perhaps it would have been wise to a) asked them b) involve them in the planning for it, rather than just start a war on your own and then demand we get involved. Ari, you are doing the American people no favours by misleading them.

@Sargon_of_Akkad @AriFleischer @philthatremains England is pathetic, perhaps we should colonize you.

@AriFleischer @philthatremains >we started a war >we didn't do any planning >we didn't build a coalition >we didn’t even warn our allies we were going to war >they didn't join us in the war They've sold us out!!!!

@realEstateTrent It’s a Gen Pop filter, for the best.

I’m noticing that quite a few restaurants in Florida require long pants and no hats, etc. Curious what people think of this.

@mazemoore @RealAlexJones He’s broke…

@RealAlexJones Is this really worth the little money it generates?

BREAKING: Trump Has Not Only Early Dementia but His Swollen Ankles Are A Sign of Congestive Heart Failure. “TRUMP is Off the Rails. I Support the Old Trump. We’ve Got a Big, Big Problem.” 🔴TUNE IN NOW NOW NOW: 👇 x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

it hasn't sunk in for most people. we already live in a post-scarcity society. UBI is already here. basic package: disability, medicaid, food stamps etc bonus package: literally getting paid for staying at home and hanging out with your relatives extra bonus: if you are willing to commit fraud, pretend your kids are autistic and get paid for that. get paid for watching your neighbor's kid. pretend you are taking care of your grandma. fake hospice clinic. fake rehab clinic. fake therapy clinic. giga bonus: during a time of crisis take advantage of PPP or CARES and open a fake business and get paid for existing people are shocked when they learn that defense is the FIFTH largest line item in the budget. ahead of defense: social security ($1.6T), interest on debt ($1.1T) medicare ($1T), medicaid + ACA ($1T), AND THEN defense ($0.9T) complain about defense all you like, but healthcare fraud is a way bigger factor. hundreds of billions per year. this is only going to get worse, because the fraud is a structural part of the system – payouts to client groups in exchange for votes (normally D). in the US, only 47% of the population actually works (fully 14% of the population is working age and does not work). retirees are 18% and children 22%. the system I described above subsidizes 50m non-working people absolute minimum, but really it's far more because people that are paid to stay home and take care of their relatives are considered "workers" of that 47% of "actual workers" maybe one third does real work, the rest are shuffling papers around or doing fake email jobs. so you have, rough math, 50 million actual workers supporting 300 million dependents. that's the nature of the economy today. it will only accelerate. eventually you will have 10 million using AI tools to do all the work and 340 million dependents. the reason no one roots out the fraud is because it's the system that keeps our extremely fragile polity intact. the fraud is the UBI. the purpose of the system is what it does. of course, it's a deeply unfair system, because you are allowed to commit fraud if you are a politically protected client group of the democrats. DOGE was killed faster than any government program ever, because it attempted to root out the fraud. if you are honest and unwilling to commit fraud, you are a huge loser in this system. your neighbor will have their mortgage subsidized by some government program. they will get favorable SBA loans due to DEI. they will open a fake hospice or autism clinic. they will get paid for taking care of their neighbor's kid and vice versa. the primary skill in the labor market is learning how to extract money from state and federal government programs, not gaining skills or making yourself employable. if you are just trying to work an ordinary wagie job you are a huge sucker. you are paying 40-50% effective all in taxes to everyone else who is a net taker. the sad part is because AI is such a substantial productivity boost, it will actually keep this system going for a while longer, and maybe in perpetuity. AI boosts the 15% of the population that is actually productive so much that the remaining 85% can coast by. no one in charge will change this because they can't think of anything else. the political costs of a real UBI program are too great and we don't have the money for it anyway. so we will keep this covert fraud-based UBI program running indefinitely. unfortunately, if you are an honest wagie, you lose.

@GadSaad TRUMP

Get it?

There should not be special treatment going through airport security. This citizen’s time is no more important than yours. Actually less so because he refuses to do his job, choosing to go on vacation instead.

@mhp_guy Love the enthusiasm, but who has time for this level of commitment to entertainment?

$39 per session. 20 people in there at a time. You're making hundreds of dollars an hour with one or two employees. "Cue golf" Is blowing my mind. Don't start a mini golf business. Start this. If you don't, I might (probably not, but I want to) Full business plan below
