@tbildz @EWErickson Uhh, because it's the prototype of what Trump is trying to do here?

@EWErickson Seems so bizarre to me that Trump is trying so desperately to prop him up. Why are we so supportive and fawning over strongmen now? Why openly support leaders who don’t care for democratic processes? Somehow we’ve gotten really off track.

It would be a good thing for Western conservatism is Orban loses in Hungary.

@EWErickson It would be a good thing for everyone except Orban, Trump, Putin, and Vance.

@RpsAgainstTrump Oh look, he still has no idea that different regions have different oil chemistries which requires different refinery setups that cost money and time to change. You can't put WTI into a refinery set for Saudi medium sour and get out what you want.

Trump: Massive numbers of completely empty oil tankers, some of the largest anywhere in the World, are heading, right now, to the United States to load up with the best and “sweetest” oil

@TheRickWilson What's good for the goose... We supply Ukraine with MANPADs, why wouldn't China do the same for its ally? Maybe it's time to GTFO and stop putting Americans in harm's way for no clear reason or goal...

But of course.

@ColtonHenr76585 @RpsAgainstTrump Because you boil off any present nuance to create a binary position that doesn't exist. That's how.

@MachineShedFred @RpsAgainstTrump How am I the ignorant one when I can see with my own eyes Dems in blue states ban semiauto rifles and now certain handguns ignoring constitutional principles such as the Bruen standard?

Brennan: Viktor Orban seized control of universities rewrote the Constitution, neutered the courts and is trying to control the media. So why would you want to mimic him? JD Vance: On the university principle…I think Orban made smart decisions there that we can learn from in the US. (2024)

@thedailybeast @TheRickWilson It sure is weird that no former first lady, including Hillary Clinton, ever felt the need to give a press statement declaring their non-involvement in crime before, when nobody asked. Why did Melania? 🤔

Melania Trump’s shocking statement is only the start of another wave of scandals for the Trump administration. thedailybeast.com/why-melania-tr…

@MarshaBlackburn So you would rather they didn't prosecute fraud in order to politically look better? Sorry, that's the Republican playbook, while the fraudster-in-chief is sitting in the White House. Hypocrite dumbass.

Democrats in California are openly admitting fraud is a massive problem that has plagued their state for years, but they refuse to admit it is a failure.  They can run from the truth all they want, but the facts will remain the same. breitbart.com/clips/2026/04/…

@John_Monahan @business You are an idiot that doesn't understand the nature of a defensive pact. Hint: the word defense is pretty significant.

@business Weak kneed NATO countries enabled this

US intelligence indicates that China is preparing to provide Iran with air defense systems in a matter of weeks, CNN reported. Beijing is expected to ship shoulder-fired, surface-to-air missiles known as Man-Portable Air Defense Systems. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@thetrueshelby @TheRickWilson January 20, 2028, 1301ET: all that shit gets scraped off and dropped into a dumpster, and a fresh coat of paint applied.

This shit looks like a flea market off exit 23 with confederate belt buckles and fake ray-bans 😭

@shannonrwatts @Elex_Michaelson Lol that stuffed suit is in WAY over his head. If this is their idea of damage control, then it's time to shut it down and let the House Ethics committee have a go. Start with subpoenas and under-oath testimony. And if he did it, yeet his ass out of the Congress.

Excellent interview by an appropriately indignant @Elex_Michaelson of Swalwell’s lawyer, who was absolutely not ready for prime time and did more damage to his client than if he’d simply turned down this request.

@TheMaineWonk Also, if "their anti-aircraft apparatus is non-existent" how are they shooting down helicopters and planes and drones and stuff? Also: he still doesn't understand that different regions have different oil chemistries.

Imagine if Barack Hussein Obama tweeted Praise Be to Allah.

@ColtonHenr76585 @RpsAgainstTrump Why do you idiots think that Democrats do not exercise their 2nd amendment rights as well? Pure ignorance.

@RpsAgainstTrump Makes me wish I could vote blue, but then I remember how the left constantly purposely misconstrues our second amendment rights in order to degrade them to unknown degrees…

@RpsAgainstTrump Isn't he supposed to be in Islamabad getting us out of their illegal war of choice that they completely and totally fucked up? Glad he still has time to make the Sunday morning shows. What the fuck the these people doing.

@barrykane760 @Elex_Michaelson @ZavalaA @ericswalwell Open your eyes and take it in. I've seen absolutely nobody trying to spin this or diminish it in any way. Can you say the same about the GOP? The DNC is done supporting rapists. The GOP is not, as evidenced by absolutely nobody mentioned in the Epstein Files seeing justice.

@Elex_Michaelson @ZavalaA @ericswalwell Where is this same coverage and attack mode for Republicans and Trump?

Exclusive: @ericswalwell’s attorney Elias Dabaie responds to allegations from 4 women who accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct. “The Congressman categorically denies any misconduct took place…” I press on why so many of Swalwell’s friends are telling him to drop out…

@atrupar It sure is a shame that he's willing to "use the full economic might" to strengthen Hungary, but not the United States of America. SOOO AMERICA FIRST, ISN'T IT?

Trump: “My Administration stands ready to use the full Economic Might of the United States to strengthen Hungary’s Economy, as we have done for our Great Allies in the past, if Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian People ever need it. We are excited to invest in the future Prosperity that will be generated by Orbán’s continued Leadership! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

@AliMarieKat @HQNewsNow Also a fundamental misunderstanding of the oil industry. Refineries are built with the intended oil chemistry in mind. You can't just switch from Saudi light/sweet to WTI or medium sour without weeks of idling the refinery and billions to rebuild the distillation columns. 🤡

@MachineShedFred @HQNewsNow Also this.

MTG: It was an unprovoked war. This is a war on behalf of Israel. The Strait of Hormuz was open before this war. Now it's mostly closed. The price of oil is over $100 a barrel. There are many innocent people dead today because of this. I really don't see any victories here

@AliMarieKat @HQNewsNow Oh, so you are just an idiot that doesn't understand global commodity markets, like every other moron saying "we don't need the strait" TL;DR: your next stop at a gas pump disagrees with your failing logic.

@MachineShedFred @HQNewsNow They’ve always done that. Thats their go to. Maybe if our energy independence and our status as a net exporter of energy wasn’t destroyed by the Biden admin, that wouldn’t be so? We are not the ones who depend on the strait, it’s our allies…who haven’t lifted a finger.

@Ceo__of__Swag @TheAlexJacob @Osint613 No, you are just an unthinking bigot. Enjoy your block, earned from being a skidmark on the tightie-whities of humanity.

@MachineShedFred @TheAlexJacob @Osint613 Im not a Muslim subhuman. Try again.

NEW 🔴 U.S. Border Patrol apprehended four British nationals after they crossed illegally into Maine from Canada through a remote area. The individuals were identified as Ali Mohammed Ali Abdullah, Hameed Mohammed Nagi, Ibrahim Ayyub Khan, and Mohammed Sultan Saleh. @BillMelugin_

@mattyglesias Well that's not election interference, is it? Honestly shocked he didn't say "only applies of Orban is reelected"

No money for your health care because it’s needed to prop up pro-Russian parties in Central Europe.

@reesejgorman We need to throw every sex pest in government right in the jackpot, regardless of party. House Ethics should investigate, and publish the report. And if he did it, expel his ass from Congress. Zero tolerance.

NEW: NOTUS spoke with a former Capitol Hill intern who said she was approached by Eric Swalwell and that he added her on Snapchat under the guise of being helpful to her career then allegedly shifted that dynamic and sent her sexual advances. Swalwell later invited her to his hotel. We also spoke with the former staffer who told the San Francisco Chronicle Swalwell sexually assaulted her twice. W/ @DaniellaMicaela notus.org/congress/swalw…
