@data_republican @mattvanswol He obviously never read it either.

@mattvanswol I think he knew all along how this was going to play out. The entire MSM played right into his hand. I guess they never read "The Art of the Deal."

Isn’t kinda wild how Trump does a thing... The media says he’s absolutely crazy for like a week straight and it’s all we hear about… But then that thing works out like, spectacularly well… …and the media never circles back to tell us it worked out????

@mattvanswol Hopefully the ceasefire will work out. But to the extent that it working out requires everyone to pretend with Trump that he "won," I wouldn't count on it. At some point, he'll throw a temper tantrum over people refusing to pretend with him.

@Askeladd137 @AP4Liberty @JMilei Milei has enlarged the Argentinian state. You have two apples (size of state). You have five oranges (amount of production). If you get five more oranges but only one more apple, you have fewer apples per orange. But you still have more apples. Sorry facts hurt your feelz.

@thomaslknapp @AP4Liberty @JMilei nope, that's you doing mental gymnastics to avoid accept the fact Milei has shrunk the Argentinean state. Like a good snowflake

Javier Milei is running a live experiment. Slash the state. Kill inflation. Force discipline. This is Libertarian Nationalism in action. Call it @JMilei-ism. If it works, everything changes.

@Askeladd137 @AP4Liberty @JMilei "Spending to GDP" is a pretty standard dodge to put over the lie that spending has decreased when it's actually increased. As, in Argentina, it has.

@thomaslknapp @AP4Liberty @JMilei refusing to accept facts such as the fact Milei HAS REDUCED THE SIZE of the Argentinean is acting emotional, which is what you have done repeatedly after showing you how spending to gdp has been reduced through spending cuts and massive public worker layoffs, snowflake

@Askeladd137 @AP4Liberty @JMilei Noticing facts isn't acting emotional. Whining that the facts must not be facts becauses you don't WAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTT the facts to be facts, however, is. Run away to your safe space, snowflake.

@thomaslknapp @AP4Liberty @JMilei I showed you all measured that clearly contradict your initial claim that he hasn't shrunk the government. Again the one acting emotional here is you.

@Askeladd137 @AP4Liberty @JMilei I don't care one way or another about Milei -- he's just another politician. What's clear is that you're a fangirl who throws her panties on the stage no matter the actual facts.

@thomaslknapp @AP4Liberty @JMilei at this point is clear you have a strong emotional bias against Milei, hence why you keep grasping at straws trying to argue an untenable position even in the face of multiple evidence that has provided to you.

@Askeladd137 @AP4Liberty @JMilei A reduction in GDP ratio is not a reduction in the size/cost of the state. It's a RELATIVE reduction to productivity. If government gets bigger, it's not getting smaller.

@thomaslknapp @AP4Liberty @JMilei It's called inflation. Spending to GDP ratio went down from 37.64% the year before Milei took power to the current 32.86%. Which pretty much correspond with the elimination of the 4% to GDP budget deficit ratio Argentina was running before Milei.

@Askeladd137 @AP4Liberty @JMilei If there were DRASTIC SPENDING CUTS, then how come spending went up?

@thomaslknapp @AP4Liberty @JMilei what? can't you read? the AI synopsis clearly states Milei accomplished the elimination of a budget deficit equivalent to 4% by DRASTRIC SPENDING CUTS. Is that too hard to understand?

@Askeladd137 @AP4Liberty @JMilei In other words, he's spending more, and spending it on government instead of debt service. How is that cutting government?

@thomaslknapp @AP4Liberty @JMilei of course I do. It's not that hard, Milei eliminated a 4% budget deficit Argentina was running before he took power. he run another budget surplus last year.

@Askeladd137 @AP4Liberty @JMilei By all measure? Interesting. Got some of those measures hand? Q4 2025 government spending in Argentina was within about 1% of the last quarter before Milei's election,and higher than a year before that.

@thomaslknapp @AP4Liberty @JMilei it absofuckinglutely is libertarian in action. It's by all measure reducing the size of the state, just because you are upset about the speed in which the state is being shrunk or you are another delusional anarchist, doesn't change that fact.

@carynannharlos It's not batshittery, it's opportunism. Carlson started off as the "libertarianish conservative" on CNN's Crossfire, then followed the money to Fox, then to Trumpism, now to the next thing. If the money was in communism, he'd be talking up the legacy of Gus Hall.

Until Tucker’s full batshittery is obvious to even him and he has to apologize like he did his his Trump advocacy.

@marklevinshow "I can only imagine" Glad you finally figured that out. Everyone else knew it about you long ago.

Did you know the American Revolution actually began well before 1776 and was, in fact, decades in the making?  Did you know that we lost more battles than we won?  Did you know only about 40-45% of the colonists supported the war?  I can only imagine what the "forever war" crowd today would have said and how they would've trashed George Washington and the patriots had they been roaming the earth back then.

@mattvanswol We all choose our own preferred solos. I like to think mine are more varied than most, but most people probably do think that about their own. youtube.com/watch?v=vS-zEH…

I have actively tried to get my liberal friends on X. They will not do it. They read one thing they find offensive and leave X instead of challenging the argument to a public debate. The Left is absolutely certain they are right. While having zero interest in proving it...

@GrandTurion @DCH23w @carynannharlos Not supporting your preferred authoritarian regime in a war between authoritarian regimes isn't "pro-Putin," it's just "anti-war."

@thomaslknapp @DCH23w @carynannharlos Why would pro-Putin types be interested in voting for someone who's helping Putin? Is that your question?

You a “Libertarian” who supported Trump and now regret it and think that should cost you nothing?? Bullshit. Take the time off to honestly deconstruct. IDGAF who that offends.

@vibeonX69 I was recommending Mint, but now I've switched to, and recommend, MX Linux, the xfce desktop version. Easy to install/configure, easy to use for former Windoze people, easy to update/maintain.

Hey linux user, which distro would you recommend first for beginners?
