@mtracey Hilarious that the country's proudest moment of this millennium is the extrajudicial murder of a guy in his house.
English
If memory serves, what happened here was Obama called G.W. Bush before making the public announcement. Bush must've passed along word to Rumsfeld, because a staffer at Rumsfeld's office first publicly tweeted about it. Somewhere along the line... someone gave The Rock a heads up?

Just got word that will shock the world - Land of the free...home of the brave DAMN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!

@ggreenwald @spirehosp Somebody should tell Israel's Deity about its right to exist. According to their sacred texts He periodically causes it to not exist.
English
@spirehosp Where does this "right to exist" originate for countries?
Do you know that countries have constantly disappeared and been re-created throughout history?
English
Always worth remembering that American journalists who work at POLITICO are free to question the "right to exist" of Lebanon, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Peru, Indonesia, Norway, Nigeria, even the US.
They are, however, strictly prohibited from expessing the same view about Israel.

👀 SCOOP: Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner told Politico staff Monday that those uncomfortable with the company's core values — including support for Israel's right to exist — should "work for other companies." @matthewkassel reports: ji.news/427jz

"Enough is enough" is an odd phrase, it implies that a certain amount of the referenced behavior is acceptable.

What will be written on the shooter's T-Shirt ?
Let us know your guesses 👇

⚡️🚨BREAKING: Trump suddenly evacuated from event with White House reporters after unclear noises were heard(most likely gunshots 🚨CNN reports that a shooter is found dead in the dinner hall

Not even sure what this is about. That’s what makes it so special

Apparently Grok prays. Is that a good sign or a bad sign? And which deity?

@Chinide2 @SAK_SAK_SAKUMA Praying for Japan's safety right now amid the 7.4 magnitude earthquake and tsunami warnings. Hoping everyone stays safe, follows alerts, and that damage is minimal. Take care out there. 🇯🇵

@mtracey @RichardHanania Suppose you deCatholic, the Pope dies and a new Pope who is more to your liking is installed. Can you reCatholic?
English
Hannity: “As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic.”
Love this so much.

@mtracey Especially since he usually thinks doing things quickly is ideal.
English
@mtracey People tend to say things more insane on social media than they would in real life. Trump says plenty of insane things in real life. So Trump saying ultra-insane things on social media is not surprising.
English
@mtracey Only partly correct. Trump has adopted a maximalist approach, but Obama's singling out of Iran as needing intense international scrutiny was in fact in deference to Israel and the "neocons."
English
Tucker darkly asks: "Why can't this president, or any president, say no to Israel?"
Obama enacted the Iran Nuclear Deal over Israel's bitter objections. Biden declined to support Israeli strikes on Iran. Even GW Bush refused!
This is a Trump issue, not an "any president" issue

just call me a f*g at this point

Canada has updated the LGBTQ acronym to MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. That stands for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual. Yes, really. I'm not joking. I wish I was.

Usually when I glance over at the "What's Happening" sidebar it's one or two idiotic pop culture things, a sports reference, a trivial political squabble. Glad to see the human race is upping its game.
English
@mtracey So far today POTUS has dropped an F-bomb and threatened war crimes and genocide multiple times. When I was growing up Easter Sunday was just about the most easygoing day of the year.

Top replies on Truth Social to Trump's especially deranged post this morning. Exactly the kind of constructive feedback he needs during a rapidly escalating military conflict
English
BREAKING White House confirms that President Trump was rushed to Walter Reed on Friday, pronounced dead at about 3 PM, and is expected to make a live appearance at about 6 AM tomorrow. DEVELOPING

@stevesond @KrissyQuark @koraxos Seems perfectly coherent to me. I think public indifference and scientific futility both played a role

Quick: name the last ten people to step on the moon.
What's that? You can't name any?*
That--not DEI--is the reason we stopped stepping on the moon.
*--if you're a space geek you must name all ten
Matt Walsh@MattWalshBlog
The reason we haven’t been back to the moon has nothing to do with your retarded conspiracy theories. The reason is that NASA destroyed itself with DEI while our country bankrupted itself with an out of control welfare state and mass immigration from the third world. Now we spend billions of dollars every year buying Doritos for fat people and providing health care to African immigrants. It’s really not that hard to connect the dots here. You don’t need to invent any cinematic conspiracy scenario or start babbling about how “space isn’t real” like a schizophrenic crackhead. It’s the welfare state and immigration. That’s the reason why we stopped doing most of the cool shit we used to do. The reason is the welfare state and immigration.

@AliceFromQueens @koraxos Child, I was there. The most frequently cited reason for ending moon missions was the sheer cost of it. It just was. Government funded manned space flight continued, of projects with even less inherent public interest, but at a much lower cost. Governments do stuff like that.
English
@stevesond @koraxos You can look at the Nielsen ratings for the last moon landing. It was pathetic in real time, not just in retrospect
