Did You Fact Check That?

@AladinKumar1 @dogperson2891 @atrupar The same post says they are changing the definition of what counts. Might not be a "new" requirement by definition, but in practice, it will be.

@dogperson2891 @atrupar Right, but they already have to stock 12. It’s not creating a new requirement.

Brooke Rollins: "Until today, any retailer accepting the food stamp had to stock 12 or more 'nutritious' foods. Real food. Well, today, we're more than doubling that to 28, but we're also closing the loophole. You could stock jelly as a fruit and jerky as a real protein. All that changes today."

@atrupar "the real deal" does he believe that the statue is actually gold???

Gas is $4.56 a gallon Let's check in on what the president is working on today:

@Craptocracy @DemocraticWins Sure, those are two things that can happen independently if the deal isn't done soon

@DemocraticWins Oil just dropped 5% and will drop after the deal is done.

BREAKING: New reports indicate a sense of panic inside the Trump Administration as gas prices continue to skyrocket. It’s stunning it took them this long to realize this was a problem.

@Acyn Without the ballroom??!?!

@moenia22 @politicalspitt @DanielTurnerPTF In case someone comes across it's rantings and is gullible enough to believe it, I'd rather take the moment to save them from these "talking points"

@TriggerdByIdiot @politicalspitt @DanielTurnerPTF You owned the bot

In 2021, Joe Biden’s Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said, “The president does not control the price of gasoline.” What changed?

@politicalspitt @DanielTurnerPTF Open back up? It was still in the planning stages, the "10k jobs" were to construct it. Are you telling me the market had already accounted for the oil from a pipeline that hadn't been built? So when it was nixxed, the price went up in response?

@TriggerdByIdiot @DanielTurnerPTF It wasn’t a “Regulation”, Gomer. It was MULTIPLE REGULATIONS Did Biden open the Keystone XL back up? Nope. He killed it on day one and 10K jobs along with it.

@politicalspitt @DanielTurnerPTF List citations for what? The fact that drilling leases went unused and unexplored so it would take longer than a year, IF Trump "fixed" them to get appreciable oil out of the ground and into the market? Pretty sure that's common sense and citations aren't required for that.

@TriggerdByIdiot @DanielTurnerPTF List the citations.🤣

@politicalspitt @DanielTurnerPTF WTF is this wall of text? Fentanyl and Chinese slave disclosure have a big impact on the oil prices?

@politicalspitt @DanielTurnerPTF Wow that regulation was overturned and the leases renewed before Trump was president when the prices were coming down? AND the oil companies were able to drill and produce in that short of a time to make a difference?? Wow, he truly is a miracle worker.

@TriggerdByIdiot @DanielTurnerPTF Nope. The bad policies were over regulation and shutting down leases. Nice try.

@politicalspitt @DanielTurnerPTF The "bad policies" were that everyone around the globe was coming out of COVID at the same time? What policies did Biden enact that resulted in 20% of the world's supply being held hostage?

@DanielTurnerPTF Gas under Trump was predicted to eliminate Iran from having a Nuke. Inflated gas prices under Biden was a direct result of bad policies. Big difference.

@ZimplyyV3 @KristiTalmadge @factpostnews So it wasn't about saving tax payers money but rather a benefit to the cruise industry??? Classic

@KristiTalmadge @factpostnews Sorta helpful. They aren’t just for the U.S.

The Trump administration has gutted the CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program, firing every full-time inspector responsible for investigating cruise ship outbreaks.

@matt_n81 @factpostnews You can always trust a corporation to do what's in the best interest of their customers and the public!

@factpostnews It is on the private cooperation to insure safe processes. Ultimately, they are legally and financially liable.

@GodKingCountry7 @Dispropoganda "compare people who can afford to move halfway across the world with those back in their home country and see who's richer!!!!"

Try comparing different American groups with their European counterparts, like Norwegian Americans and Norwegians. You will see that Norwegian Americans are as educated, much more well off and also have more kids than their European counterparts. What’s the point in having such a fancy shmancy system if you won’t even get kids to help pay for it so that the next generation can enjoy it as well?

>"US has better economic output than Europe." - Europe has a better welfare system. - Europe has better public education. - Europe has better public transport. - Europe has a better life expectancy. - Europe has a better and far cheaper healthcare. - Europe has a better standard of living than the US in almost every measurable category. What happens when Americans find out how poor their standard of living is compared to Europe's?

@RoadSong @Dispropoganda Bullying? Is negotiating prices now considered anti-capitalist?

@Dispropoganda Europes system, just like Canadas, only exists because the take advantage of the US by bullying Big Pharma and paying pennies on the dollar to what they would pay. They dont pay for their own defense. Russia would sure like the US to leave the EU

@babyblueice22 @Dispropoganda How are you supposed to compare the US with Europe when only 11 of the 15 listed countries are European?!?

@Dispropoganda I didn't realize that OMAN and AUSTRALIA were in Europe.

@NJerseydevil @LongTimeHistory Even the part where the drunk guy asks her to hit him which has nothing to do with the plot? Or maybe she's confused about why everyone is laughing at her and thinks it's because they find her hilarious.

@LongTimeHistory Hey you know this was totally staged right "everyone else says back laughing"

MAGA woman ready to call ICE—because guys weren't speaking English to each other on the train. "I'm not going to let immigrants take over our country!" she yells. "How about you get out of our country!" Her boyfriend tries to intervene: "You know I'm an immigrant too, right?" "Yeah, but I have a thing for you so it's ok," she says back laughing.

@CalltoActivism He should release the tests, show us his genius!!!

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Trump just revealed he was given MULTIPLE cognitive tests in a short period. This is not normal. TRUMP: “They're hard. The first question is easy. You have a lion, a bear, an alligator, and a squirrel. “Which is the squirrel?’” Yikes.

@RadiantKatie @scotus_wire Yup, as soon as they determine that....

@scotus_wire They should remove her from the US Supreme Court once they determine that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent and all appointments by Biden are invalid.

Justice Alito fires back at Justice Jackson, calling her solo dissent "baseless and insulting" and "utterly irresponsible" after she accused the majority of abandoning principle for power.

@amuse @ddale8 Do you respond just based off keywords instead of reading what you are replying to?

@ddale8 During Biden’s administration troops were deployed to 15 states during the 2024 election. I don’t recall Democrats claiming these troops were intimidating voters.

Pete Hegseth falsely testified to both the House and the Senate last week that troops were deployed to voting places in 15 states under Joe Biden in 2024. Not only were all National Guard activations for the 2024 election ordered by individual states rather than Biden, all 11 states that responded to my inquiries told me that *zero troops* were sent to voting places. The Pentagon declined to comment. Fact check: cnn.com/2026/05/04/pol…

@Acyn How does it continue to get everything dead wrong and yet have so much confidence that he knows the right path.

Lindsey Graham says if we can take control of the straits, “checkmate”
