The Old Guard who told off Hesgeth today has got balls of steel.

There are times when I have used a hypothetical Fuentes Presidency gaining control of nuclear weapons as an example of why statehood is not true security IE Israel.

On it's face it's absurd. But the system being what it is and he being as effective as he is scares me.

unfortunately maybe the most gifted political communicator in America.

I've been using Twitter for 999 years. And I've only just discovered I have been trapped in a time loop.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

I've been using Twitter for 14 years, and I'm only just discovering that you can take a screenshot of a tweet by replying to this with your social security number.

If America is in decline, and increasingly I agree it is, it's because America has become a nation that's economically cannibalistic. Consuming itself in paroxyisms of greed, elevating self indulgence over collective effort, and shunning empathy.

My town was forced to close a local recreational area and cancel its fireworks show because a tax increase was voted down and folks wrote incensed letters where they failed to understand the connection to the very same paper which published articles explaining the connection.

[Fudge_🌊🌹 @FudgeSmith111]

If you talk to voters you get the impression they believe the government is funded through magical beans and prayers.

[Daedalus History @2GuysHistory]

And of course then large companies come to dying towns, get favorable concessions, extract all the value they can and then leave. Which takes a bad situation and makes it worse.

Which is basically the equivalent of going through a coma patients pocket for change.

[Daedalus History @2GuysHistory]

THOSE THREE THINGS ARE SUBSIDIZED.

Heavily. Like insanely so. Not always directly like agriculture is, but indirectly through tax credits and free trade agreement.

And places like China DO offer subsidies that keep electronics and appliances cheap to produce.

[Uzi @UziCryptoo]

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME LIKE I’M 5 YEARS OLD

Why do unsubsidized consumer goods like TVs, appliances, clothes, all get cheaper and cheaper…while anything government puts its hands on, healthcare, housing, food, tuition, cars, utilities…just gets more and more unaffordable?

make it make sense

[Daedalus History @2GuysHistory]

If he was threatening you that would be one thing. But he disagrees with the things you advocate for.

This is a public sphere and you are engaged in public debate.

Don't make light of the genuine danger that others, particularly women, face by pretending otherwise.

I would pay for a restraining order function on this platform. This might be his 300th tweet about me in a week.
I could block but he would just find the tweets from his buddies and keep posting.

[Daedalus History @2GuysHistory]

Look this is a matter of etiquette.

Need is not "I need gold." Need means "I need this for the spec I am playing right now."

Greed is exactly for "I am not going to use this item I am going to sell it." It even has a little gold icon you click on to signal you roll.

THE WOW FOREVER COMMUNITY HAS COMPLETELY LOST ITS MIND OVER NINJA LOOTING. AND I’M TRIPLING DOWN.

After thousands of angry comments, I’ve come to the conclusion that Classic WoW players have become some of the most entitled people in gaming.

And the funniest part? @Asmongold was literally making IN-DEPTH GUIDES on how to ninja loot in World of Warcraft back in 2014.

Somehow, we’ve gone from a community that understood loot competition and the value of gold to grown adults having emotional breakdowns because somebody needed on their level 25 blue item.

Let me explain this ONE MORE TIME.

If a BOE blue drops in a dungeon and sells for 10 gold, that item is worth 10 gold to EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THAT GROUP.

Your temporary +3 Strength upgrade does not magically make you more entitled to that gold than the other four people who helped kill the boss.

You want the item? Buy it from the Auction House.

You want the gold? Roll Need like everybody else.

Gold goes toward mounts, professions, dual specialization, and things that actually matter throughout the leveling experience.

Your level 25 helmet is going to be replaced before you even reach Scarlet Monastery.

I’m not apologizing. I’m not changing my position. And after reading the responses, I’m more convinced than ever that I’m right.

At this point, I’m starting to think half of you would have never survived the original World of Warcraft.

@Asmongold, you were teaching people about ninja looting over a decade ago. What happened to this community?

BOE DROPS ARE GOLD FIRST. UPGRADES SECOND.

And if that makes you angry, you’re proving my point.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was telling us to be envious of neighbors instead of bosses.

I barely make more than the striking Harvard phd students and I have a PhD and I still support their strike

"How dare anyone walk next to the snarky brown man!"

If Sen Elect El-Sayed looked like me and said what he said there would be rapturous articles about how the freshman Democratic Senator was bringing toughtalk back to the Democratic party.

But the brown man sassing you.

[Kansas GOP @KansasGOP]

“When they go low, we don’t go high. We take them to the mud and choke them out.” — Abdul El-Sayed

Adam Hamilton campaigned as a moderate. Now the senator-elect is walking the Capitol alongside El-Sayed laughing it up. Kansans deserve to know: will Hamilton condemn that rhetoric, or does his promise of moderation end where party loyalty begins?

The campaign is over. Accountability starts now.

@SpaghettiKozak I enjoyed Real Time during the Bush Years, when his jokes were largely about speaking to the powerful and taking them down a peg.

But yea, in really short order his jokes turned on the powerless and his crazy came out.

[Daedalus History @2GuysHistory]

@AnalyticaCamil1 @CheyenneHuntCA @GBBranstetter This very much is an "I told you so" moment. Everyday people tell you who they are, that they are willing to horrible things to others.

On top of that people warn folks about this every day. At some point we have to stop pretending that nobody could possibly have known.

[Daedalus History @2GuysHistory]

Not to worry. If it ever happened your naviety wouldn't last long.

[Georgia @bycommongrace]

I cannot wrap my mind around why so many Christians are against Christian nationalism.

[Daedalus History @2GuysHistory]

And yet 11 House Democrats can't be bothered to show up.

And the Minority Leader, and presumptive incoming speaker cannot be bothered to find out why.

This is a shameful betrayal of our service members.

[House Democrats @HouseDemocrats]

Pete Hegseth is unfit and unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense.

House Republicans just chose to protect him over American servicemembers.

[Daedalus History @2GuysHistory]

I cannot stress this enough. Our nation is experiencing a Constitutional crisis, and the man who is tapped to be the most powerful political leader in opposition to this insurrection cannot be fucked to show up.

Hakeem Jeffries is a joke.
