@BriannaWu Yes, that is sad
Maybe consider this the next time you think Trump is on your side, eh?
English
What is saddest to me about this is Trump betraying the Iranian people.
Trump told them if they rose up, we’d have their backs. They did, 40,000 were slaughtered by their own government.
Now, Trump folded and they’ll be sent to the torture dungeons and hanging gallows.

@MuseZack Is Steinbeck no longer required reading for US schoolchildren?
English
How did the Looney Tunes writers assume their audience would get Of Mice and Men references? Was a movie adaptation really popular, or was Steinbeck a lot more widely read back then?
English
@LouiseMensch @EdwardGLuce What assurances can you provide to this effect?
English
@EdwardGLuce Because it was not stupid and Iran must hand over their enriched uranium to us. And I can assure you this will not end before they have done so.
English
If Trump strikes a 60-day Iran ceasefire, the hawks on this site will say America lost Epic Fury because it didn't finish the job. None will admit that this war was harebrained from the start. To them, war is never stupid.

@Marginlfutility “No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable.” - Adam Smith
English
Smith did not invent free markets.
He explained why the markets that already existed produced order without anyone intending it.
The insight was descriptive before it was prescriptive.
He was watching something happen and asking: why does this work?
Most people who cite him have reversed the direction of the argument.
English
@willchamberlain The administration has had plenty of opportunities to present whatever evidence they have against Abrego Garcia
It's clear now they were lying about him from the beginning
Where they lying about anyone else do you think, who doesn't have a wife to fight for him?
English
An absurd ruling that will not stand up on appeal. Truly amazing how many Democrat judges will bend over backwards to keep an MS-13 gangbanger on our streets
🇺🇸 Mike Davis 🇺🇸@mrddmia
Outrageously, Nashville Obama Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. just dismissed federal human-trafficking charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, pretending there’s vindictive prosecution. The Trump Justice Department must appeal this dangerous ruling by this leftwing DEI judge.
English
@TrashPandaTv @OBrienobx1 @amandacarpenter They're not "illegals" if they're being processed — they're following the law
English
@OBrienobx1 @amandacarpenter Your bill was trash and allowed 150k illegals into the country every month . All it did was provide more money to hire more agents to process the illegals quicker . All Democrats do is lie.
English
It’s worth noting Trump’s utterly TANKING in the polls after getting mostly everything he wants policy wise.
The Iran War, the ICE raids, the shakedowns, the DOGE, the pardons, etc.
He can’t blame his failings on the deep state this time. He got Project 2025 & it’s a disaster.
His backers could argue that, oh well, sometimes tough decisions aren’t popular. Well, buddy, he’s wrecked the economy, too. There’s no upside here.
Autocracy sucks.
English
@TrashPandaTv @amandacarpenter You know people voted for those Democrats too, right?
Politicians are supposed to seek bipartisan support in order to get big things done
English
@amandacarpenter Bullshit . Democrats have blocked the agenda the American people voted for at every turn. Deportations have been squandered due to leftist judges . They have shut down the government twice and failed to fund DHS .
English
@mwwillis @greendragonhq @WesleyHuntTX @EagleInTheCloud Regardless, I'd be more likely to support a voter ID law if it included she sort of provision to remove the cost of IDs, and generally make them more convenient
Because without such a provision, it looks like they *want* a poll tax
English
@mwwillis @greendragonhq @WesleyHuntTX @EagleInTheCloud I'm not sure SCOTUS thinks the federal government has the right to make a demand like that
English
According to Jasmine Crockett, purchasing a passport is now considered a “poll tax.”
Who could have predicted it?
Grievance politics is now idea du jour for a democrat party that tried to rig the midterms via racial gerrymandering and got eviscerated in the process.
No policies.
No solutions.
No results.
Just outrageous screams of “racism,” and “Jim Crow.”
English
@mwwillis @greendragonhq @WesleyHuntTX @EagleInTheCloud A tax is still a tax, even if it gets waived sometimes
English
@wheellock @greendragonhq @WesleyHuntTX @EagleInTheCloud And most states (including Michigan) will waive the fee for people who can’t afford it (elderly, homeless, disabled, veterans)
English
@mwwillis @greendragonhq @WesleyHuntTX @EagleInTheCloud My state charges like $10 for a state ID, and I'm sure we're not the only one
English
@greendragonhq @WesleyHuntTX @EagleInTheCloud But you are not required to have a passport to vote, just an ID. You can get that for free, in every state.
English
@JBastilla3v0 @timelesstales13 @greendragonhq @realBrandonGill @greg_price11 Mostly, it's the refusal to open up a pathway to citizenship for the vast majority of people who want to come here
English
@JBastilla3v0 @timelesstales13 @greendragonhq @realBrandonGill @greg_price11 It's not just ICE targeting the wrong people
It's the campaign to end H-1Bs, and cancelling a bunch of study visas for bogus reasons, and banning whole regions/religions from entering the US, and ending refugee programs, and removing TPS, and a host of other things

If you want to lower the price of housing for Americans, the conversation should start with lowering demand by deporting the illegals who shouldn't be here and severely restricting immigration.
English
@JohnCleese This is what happens when you form opinions about a community without actually talking to anyone from that community
Most Muslims loudly condemn terrorism and zealotry, the same way most Christians condemn bombing abortion centers or picketing funerals of gay people
Barton Hills, MI 🇺🇸 English
Missing the point completely
If the majority of Muslims - the non-radical ones -
are not in favour of radical Islam, could some of them start speaking out and saying so
What is the reason why they are not doing this ?
Maliq@MasterMaliq
Radical Muslims are less than 1% of 2 BILLION Muslims. Yet you people judge the entire religion by the actions of a tiny minority? Be honest you just hate Muslims. Period.
English
@JBastilla3v0 @greendragonhq @realBrandonGill @greg_price11 At some point you're going to have to realize that the core of the anti-immigrant movement is driven by hatred and racism, not a desire for paperwork to be filed
That's why the Trump admin has gone after so many legal aliens too
Barton Hills, MI 🇺🇸 English
@greendragonhq @realBrandonGill @greg_price11 *illegal* aliens is the point.
ILLEGAL* aliens is the issue, not the legal ones.
English
@TH30387 @mikedebonis I have it on good authority that Trump obliterated Iran's nuclear program back in June and it will take them decades to rebuild it
English
Uhhh what happened today was Senate Republicans did not have 51 votes to proceed with theirown agenda...
Mike Lee@BasedMikeLee
We got screwed today This is yet another example of why Senate Republicans have no choice but to nuke the filibuster
English
@RicardoNarLoyo @isabellaamidala Doh!
I blame the generic naming scheme they used for those films
English
@wheellock @isabellaamidala * The Phantom Menace* is not episode 2 buddy. Wrong movie. You are looking for attack of the clones.
English
Anakin’s dialogue isn’t poorly written or poorly delivered. He’s an emotionally stunted, traumatized child soldier raised in an order that taught him to suppress his emotions instead of process them. Of course he’s awkward, intense, and bad at talking to girls.
His cadence and tone foreshadow Darth Vader with the same stiffness, intensity, and unnerving quality. He’s just not actually intimidating yet so people hated him.
Also not sure why people expected one of the most horrific villains in cinematic history to be a cool likable guy growing up lmfao

What’s your most controversial Star Wars opinion?
English
@seamus_coughlin Sounds like you made a bad investment then
English
I invest 1 dollar. Inflation happens. Now everything that once cost 1 dollar costs 2 dollars. So my stock is now worth 2 dollars.
I sell the stock. The government says I profited 1 dollar. They tax me on it.
But I didn't profit. I broke even while they destroyed the dollar.
