@C_3C_3 Blacks are not being treated unjustly by the Trump administration. They have been abandoned by the Democrats just as the Democrats abandoned the UAW.

64% of Baltimore City’s population is black. How many black people do you see in that crowd? Very few. Just the usual old white radical leftists recycled for the latest protest.

@SandyofCthulhu Correct, there is no unemployment and no welfare in communist countries. Everyone works their ass off so the government can take your money from you. Those who dislike the deal will be shot.

"Under Communism, everyone would have a job." This is absolutely true. Here's what else was true: 1) you were assigned your job and the region for that job by the state. You were required to stay in the job at least 3 years. 2) After your 3 years, to switch jobs, you had to get the approval of the labor board AND of your employer. If you switched too often (like every 3 years) there were legal penalties, which could include imprisonment. 3) promotions were based on Party membership, loyalty, and sucking up. I've not heard from a single USSR civilian that merit contributed. Also a lot of jobs were restricted to only Party members. 4) wages WERE even across the board. A factory worker, engineer, and factory manager got quite similar salaries. It was egalitarian but not much for incentive. The "higher" ranks got extra perks though to make up for it. Vacation dachas on the black sea. An ostensibly "company" owned car with a chaffeur. That sort of thing. 1/2

@ksorbs If ppl think the police are brutal now, wait until you see the police the left plans to unleash on us.

No kings protestor tries to mess with LAPD on horseback Of all the dumb things to do, this certain is one of them

@NewswirePatriot A well deserved kick.

A "NO KINGS" protester was knocked down and nearly trampled by a LAPD Officer on horseback after refusing several orders to back up. Protest organizers are calling this "Police brutality." Was this "Police brutality" or should he have listened to the Officers? 🚔

@RandPaul @LibertarianMama So why are they sitting on the sidelines? Why did they abrogate their authority to the executive branch decades ago? So now they just sit on the sidelines and complain.

The founders didn’t intend for Congress to sit on the sidelines. James Madison gave it the power to check the president, especially in matters of war and foreign policy.

@GW3post @jimiuorio The left really doesn’t need a reason to protest. Protesting is just a hobby for them as they have nothing else to do but sit around and complain.

@wicker36145 @jimiuorio He took it to an extreme in ways that have offended enough people to protest

I’m not trying to be a smart guy here and I really want an honest conversation. What are you guys protesting? From the outside it looks pretty strange. I’m no big fan of Trump but enabling free speech, lowering taxes and regulations, promoting broad gun rights do not seem like characteristic of a “king”…if you feel like it(and are able) please explain?

@Jumbowc7n @JustinWolfers The secessionists actually made an economic argument in support of slavery. So if one is only using benefit/cost analysis to justify their position, and are disregarding other moral principles they can get bad answers. Economics doesn’t justify immoral practices.

@wicker36145 @JustinWolfers In what world would you consider that “slavery can be economically beneficial”?

Immigrants weren’t just filling existing jobs; they were helping create them. That’s Econ 101: jobs are not a fixed pie. More people means more customers, more demand, more businesses expanding, and yes, more hiring.

@Scaramucci I really don’t think Hillary need all that much help to be disliked. Surely you jest.

Let me tell you exactly what Fox figured out in 1993. Roger Ailes looked around and asked — who’s the threat? Not Bill Clinton, the threat is Hillary Clinton. They spent billions of dollars over decades destroying her narrative. By the time she ran for president 51% of the country had a negative opinion of her before she said a word on the campaign trail. That’s the playbook. Now ask yourself — where’s the threat today? California. The fourth largest economy in the world. Agriculture, Defense, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, AI. — which is literally the exportation of American culture globally. A politician coming out of California from the left could beat the right decisively. So what do you do? Spend billions destroying the narrative around California. Make it synonymous with crime and homelessness and radical politics. Do it for two or three decades until the brand is toxic. Newsom has an image problem today the exact same way Hillary had an image problem. It was manufactured. Deliberately. Systematically.

@brandenburg4mi The left is better at committing voting fraud than organizing a no kings rally. Think about that for a minute.

Michigan had over a million duplicate registrations in 2022. We just had a jury hand down a criminal conviction on the signature gatherers. Yet deniers are shouting “THERE IS NO FRAUD!!!” Whitmer didn’t win by an honest election and she should resign immediately. Our 2020 and 2022 elections were a complete fraud!!!!! And that isn’t just applied to the general election … it was the entire process. I believe the only way Whitmer got is was the powers that be rigged the election. Duplicate registrations and ghost voters is a simple way to cheat and activate plausible deniability. We don’t have elections any more … we have a transnational crime syndicate which places their people who are part of their system of commerce domination over We the People. They seek destruction of freedom and justice for all. It’s all about them as they worship power and money.

@ElissaSlotkin I just can’t wait to vote this clown out of office. Wish recalling Senators was allowed.

My plea to my own party is: Show people that we give a shit and be simple about addressing the needs that they care about. I'm here to be a part of that change.

@scottsantens Improvements in technology have always created greater wealth and improved the general welfare of the common people. AI’s impact will only improve our standard of living. UBI increases the reservation wage & locks ppl in poverty. Permanent underclass.

If I lost a brain cell every time I saw someone claim that Universal Basic Income was communism, I'd have become stupid enough to say it myself. AI is here. Jobs are being automated. And capitalism requires consumers with money to spend. Consider where this is going without UBI.

@GW3post @jimiuorio The president’s in general operate increasingly by executive orders bc congress does very little.

@jimiuorio He governs by executive order, doesnt work with congress at all, he's been taken to court probably more than any president in history but at least my lifetime, he does whatever he wants on a whim. He acts like hes above the law, expects tribute, and on and on

@Jumbowc7n @nxt888 Yes, but the politicians stop it.

@wicker36145 @nxt888 I was in the USAF when we flew 700+ B52 sorties and dropped 15 thousand TONS of bombs in Hanoi and Haiphong. We WERE trying to kill every one of “them”.

General William Westmoreland, the American commander in Vietnam, said that Asians do not value human life the way Westerners do. He said this to explain why Vietnamese soldiers kept fighting despite losses that would have broken Western armies. He did not say: perhaps they are fighting for something worth dying for. He did not say: perhaps our intelligence about their will to fight was wrong. He did not say: perhaps we have fundamentally misunderstood this enemy. He said: they don't value life. This is what happens when an army built on the premise of its own civilizational superiority meets a people who simply refuse to accept that premise. The army cannot update its model. It cannot say "we were wrong about who these people are." So it invents a theory where the enemy's resistance is not a sign of strength but a sign of deficiency. They keep fighting because life is cheap to them. Not because their cause is just. Not because they are brave. Because they are less than us. Westmoreland ran the war for years on this theory. He lost. The Vietnamese people, who apparently did not value life, built a country that is alive and growing and free. Westmoreland died in 2005. The people he could not understand are still here. So is the theory.

@djvlad Imagine how far ahead we’d be if ppl stopped lying, cheating, stealing, murdering, raping, robbing, etc. Without religion to explain this, we must conclude that humans are quite a nasty creature. How do you explain that. Maybe if someone came along and told ppl to stop they would

I honestly wish religion had never existed. Imagine how far we would be as a species if humanity consistently pursued evidence-based, rational answers instead of constructing narratives around imagined deities.

@jabrown_34 @em_Lazzy I’m still unsure of the point of your question. I don’t think in general ppl voted for Trump bc they thought he was a Christian. There is a base of Christians that support him and perhaps he panders to that, but so what.

@wicker36145 @em_Lazzy "I am not sure I have," Trump said when asked if he'd ever asked God for forgiveness. "I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don't think so," he said. "I think if I do something wrong, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't."

To all you Christians who support Trump…name one Christlike attribute he has. This should be interesting

@ZeekArkham It gave public school teachers the opportunity to make a few extra dollars.

Before the No Kings protest: no kings in America. During the No Kings protest: no kings in America. After the No Kings protests: no kings in America. So… what was accomplished, specifically?

@SavageTomas @clx1980 @berningman16 @grok Not sure where you got your history from. There is no record or evidence that Japan ever considered surrendering to Russia. They engaged with Russia as a possible mediator in hope to avoid an unconditional surrender to USA. Russia was neutral in the pacific theater at the time.

@wicker36145 @clx1980 @berningman16 @grok japan was considering surrendering to the USSR. the USA would not have this, so they dropped the a-bombs on japan both to force japan to surrender to USA and to warn stalin what they would do to USSR.

The Red Army won WW2. Not the USA. But Hollywood created a myth. And Americans still believe it. Even after their military loses war after war.

@jabrown_34 @em_Lazzy Totally unrepentant sinners likely can’t be saved. Jesus said to repent and follow him. But, repentant sinners are still sinners, and that’s kinda the point of salvation through accepting Christ as lord and savior.

@wicker36145 @em_Lazzy Still haven't given one Christian trait. And you didn't answer my question. I didn't say can sinners be saved. Of course they can. I essentially asked can totally unrepentant sinners be saved?

@jabrown_34 @em_Lazzy Resilience, charity, courage, forgiveness. These are all Christian traits which Trump has exhibited. These traits are found throughout the New Testament. However, exhibiting them doesn’t necessarily mean he is a Christian. To know for certain you may have to ask Jesus.

@JokersW82878229 @em_Lazzy I haven’t seen any evidence to support the accusations.

@wicker36145 @em_Lazzy He's also fucking children And bombing children in schools is Christ like?
