Centrist Rants 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇵🇱

I challenge MAGA people to choose any one of their cherished beliefs, type it into Elon Musk's Grok 3 AI and share the results. AI's can make mistakes but unlike people the they have no political incentive to lie to you. Then watch this: youtu.be/Zdsd522YzPQ?si…

What's the cheapest you remember paying for a gallon of gas?

@UncensoredUSA Go find my younger self and start a wide ranging conversation.

The first thing I would do is find my parents and hug them.

@Persianserene1 Both can be true.

Trump said we don’t even know who’s in charge in Iran or who to talk to! And now he says we’re having “very good conversations” with them Is he a bad liar or just stupid?

@mysteriouskat A good idea but a direct violation of the first amendment. The government cannot do this. Social media platforms should be doing something like this to limit the reach of the loudest and most deranged voices. Reality is important. We should nurture it.

Before someone is allowed to post on social media, they should be able to pass a test on their ability to discern what is true and what is false. If they fail, they have to take a course on source evaluation & misleading framing.

@ThrillaRilla369 Income for the middle class went up by 10X as did inflation. Income for the top 1% went up by 32X.

There was a time in America when a single income was enough to buy a house, own a car, and pay for your children’s college — all without going into debt. What happened?

For my entire life it has been true that every time Republicans are in power, they increase deficit spending, and whenever they aren't in power, they complain about deficit spending and pinky swear they will reduce deficit spending if only you vote them back into power. And what do they use that spending for? Tax cuts for the rich, subsidies for big corporate donors, and wars in the Middle East. If you voted Republicans into power again in the belief they would reduce the deficit and not go to war, sorry, but you were lied to and you fell for it, despite being able to learn from the past to avoid that. Yes, you voted for all of this. You may not understand that you did, but you did. This is all just the newest variation of what we see every time the GOP gets handed the reigns of the economy. Democrats need to stop playing this game and instead use deficit spending to make our lives better by focusing on our basic needs and our costs of living. Spend less on the military and more on healthcare and a basic income floor. Also, to hell with the two party system. We need more choices. We need other parties to win via proportional representation.

@scottsantens You are correct in every respect. This pattern is correct my entire life as far back as LBJ (who broke this pattern).

@Junkfoodbrain1 @morgfair So you say. I have my doubts. I have also never received double anything.

@morgfair Yes… i have received double ballots for me and my husband AND one for my son who does not live with us anymore AND one for each of my parents who have NEVER lived with us. I also get a ballot for the occasional person that i do not wven know. There is much fraud in California.

Funny… I’ve lived in California since 1977, and I have NEVER received more than one ballot. Any other Californians out there? More than one ballot??

@RossKneeDeep Apple stock

Just for fun...

@1_SavedBy_Grace @DoaneBecky @atrupar The Heritage Foundation tracks election fraud cases and has found it vanishingly rare. About 0.00025% Dozens out of billions of votes.

@DoaneBecky @atrupar Do some research. Different types of voter fraud is real. Illegal aliens have been voting. Democrats are against the Save Act for this very reason.

Katie Britt: "You can't go to work, you can't shovel snow in New York City without an ID"

@atrupar Keep in mind that if NY didn't require ID to shovel snow in an emergency, the GOP would rake Mandami over the coals for ignoring employment laws and paying illegal aliens. MAGA is not serious about solving problems, only about finding fault in others. Release the Epstein files.

@dustoff_1sg ... those that remain still have all the guns. The people have not risen up, probably because the regime killed thousands of protesters during the last round of mass protests. Last time I looked, the government of Cuba while unpopular is still unchanged. So how free are they?

@dustoff_1sg Maduro is out, but Venezuela is still run by his underlings. The person who is believed to have won the last election before Maduro stole it is not part of the government. There were 30-40K mullahs and 125-190K IRGC running Iran. We've killed the top few % of both groups but ...

How is it possible people are angry at a free Venezuela, a free Iran, or a free Cuba? We live in strange times.

@I4NFTS Sure we did. I am no fan of Hillary Clinton and I am sure that Kamala Harris would have many policies that I would object to. That said either one of them would be a better president than Trump.

This Trump presidency may go down in history as the worst ever Could potentially enter us into the most unaffordable period of our lives alongside a significant war Maybe an 80 year old narcissist as president was a bad idea after all, but in our defense we didn’t really have another option

Rep. Thomas Massie says Trump called him on the House floor after he pushed to release the Epstein files. Trump told him three times: "I'm coming at you like you've never seen in your life." This video was deleted from twitter yesterday, you know what to do ‼️‼️

@SethAbramson I used to use @grok to push back against MAGA disinformation. It worked reasonably well despite its tendency to spin circumstances to the right until Elon started wanting $11/mo for the privilege. Because he's such a free speech advocate I'm sure.

Just testing ChatGPT to confirm that it's infinitely more accurate than Grok. All tests passed.

@ClaudetteGGibs1 Common sense

Surprise me.

@Matt_Pinner There are 4 on this list I HAVE NOT been to.

I've been to 2, you ?

@sentdefender @Dogsarethepure1 He didn't say "U.S. President".

After President Trump claimed to reporters twice today that he had recently spoken to a former president who praised his actions in Iran, saying: “I wish I did what you did.” Aides to all four living presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have issued statements to CNN, saying there is no record of any communications between them and President Trump.
