@America250Man @Tony_Benetto @PatrickRuffini The Strait of Hormuz was not opened despite this and gulf coast countries were still being attacked dumb fuck.

This level of cultural currency is something the old Republican Party didn’t have.

NYTimes didn't mention that Newsom asked the Native American tribe to donate huge money to his wife's charity JUST AFTER he used his office to block its rival tribe from opening a competing casino.
Details on that here -- freebeacon.com/california/cor…

Several people associated with the Newsoms have been contacted by federal agents in the past week, according to the governor’s office. Mr. Newsom’s aides believe the agents have also subpoenaed banking records, but said they had seen no written evidence of that. nytimes.com/2026/06/15/us/…

@Lib_Development @sailaunderscore Very familiar with Hyde park but my point is about UChicago specifically, which spends millions of dollars a year to have its own private security to keep out uh, teenagers
English
@America250Man @sailaunderscore I am not sure if you have been to Hyde Park but while their extra law enforcement is good it is not anywhere near as effective as you describe

@RedEaglePatriot They simultaneously tell us that being trans is normal/blah blah blah
But they get very offended when we say Michele is Big Mike

It’s objectively funny for the sole reason that it gets under the left’s skin.
Nobody on the left is going to self-police and call anyone “low class” over the JD Vance-couch stuff, I see this as no different.
Matthew Marsden@matthewdmarsden
I am a conservative but I hate all this “Michelle Obama is a man,” garbage. It’s so low class.

@America250Man @PatrickRuffini I’m very happy with my life. Hence why I don’t hide behind a fake profile picture 😘
English
@janetjenkins52 @PatrickRuffini Your entire personality revolves around sports and being a liberal.
You can keep posting pictures of other people because you’re unhappy with your life, but that won’t change your outcome
English
@America250Man @PatrickRuffini Because that doesn’t move the needle at all.
You and Patrick need prices to fall. Bread and circuses without the bread rn.
English
@janetjenkins52 @PatrickRuffini Yes, hence the “American summer”
Why wouldn’t I lead with UFC? We’re days away from the official start of summer
English
@America250Man @PatrickRuffini Leading within”ufc at the White House” says a lot lol

@ScottMGreer That’s what happens when you’re taught and culturally reinforced that MLK is a founding father

Even though it's now believed millennials were too irony poisoned, their formative political event was unironic Obamamania. A large percentage of this generation honestly believed Obama was our national savior.
Possum Reviews@ReviewsPossum
Well, for one thing, they had children singing literal worship songs about Obama.

@PeorgeyGeorgey @sailaunderscore They see it, but then they think “well if only these black people had more money and weren’t policed so much…”

This is worse than the DSA meeting where someone said “guys the jazz hands are giving me sensory overload” and then someone admonished him for using “gendered language”
Ian Miller@ianmSC
It is impossible to describe how much worse this is than Kid Rock doing an alternative Super Bowl halftime show

I'm not sure if Democratic politicians get how cancerous their own base's anger is here. Elections are won by the prideful optimists. You cannot be trusted to lead a country if it is not obvious you love it.

@America250Man @PatrickRuffini Sanctions relief in allowing Iran to sell more oil and conduct more international trade and
access to frozen assets. LFG !

@Tony_Benetto @PatrickRuffini “Trump had the US military destroy Iran’s military and its leadership, you see - he actually backed down!”

@jlippincott Health insurance = premiums have to fund certain groups degeneracy
Once you notice it, there’s no other way of viewing American society
English
@jlippincott How much of our taxes (and cost of living) is a direct result of an increasingly diverse society?
Real Estate = avoid certain groups
Cars = be safe from certain groups on the road
Insurance = insure against certain groups
Taxes = fund certain groups lifestyles
English
The reason couples choose dual income is because it *is* economically viable.
Couples make the tradeoff because they would rather provide materially for their kids instead of going on welfare or accepting a lower standard of living.
It sucks but it is what it is. High taxes on young people (Medicare, Social Security, income, property, sales, etc.) are a huge driving force here.
Want more moms in the home? Stop seizing 25-35% of dad's paycheck.
Many of these taxes are invisible, too, which makes the effects harder to see. If you rent, you pay property taxes indirectly--and higher than what homeowners owe! Same for your employer's payroll tax share.
Bennett's Phylactery@extradeadjcb
An obscure academic wrote a book in 2004 about how dual income households are a scam & the vast majority of women simply aren't economically productive enough to justify outsourcing childcare, even in dystopian government warehouses
