@BlackDumpling Yes, please! Just get off America’s taxpayers‘ back!

[KnowThyself @KnowThyselfPro]

@Osint613 Yes, yes you are! 🤣😅🤣

[Robin @RobinNunya14]

Since you are from Spain. I’ll start there:

You ask 'what bills?' Let’s look at the actual receipts from this week. Spain’s leadership has the audacity to claim they 'pay their bills' because they contribute to the office staff in Brussels, while conveniently FORGETTING the BILLIONS in security, high-tech intelligence, and nuclear deterrence they receive for FREE from the American taxpayer.

Spain brags about 'protecting the welfare state,' but they only have a welfare state because they expect the American taxpayer to protect their borders.

Just last Wednesday, Prime Minister Sánchez admitted he won't 'touch one cent' of social spending for defense because he’d rather spend that €350 billion on Spanish pensions.

He is effectively saying that American workers should pay for Spanish retirements while we shoulder the cost of global safety.

Spain sits in the safest corner of Europe, protected by the Atlantic & the Mediterranean, yet they act as if they are doing us a favor just by existing.

They want the intelligence to stop terrorists, the satellites to monitor their coastlines & the Article 5 guarantee to keep their North African enclaves safe.

But the second we need to use the bases at Rota or Morón to handle a real threat, they suddenly become 'sovereign' and close their airspace to us.

Spain isn’t an ally if they only show up for the perks. They are a security tourist - & as of March 2026, the American taxpayer is officially done paying for their vacation. FAFO.

Now I will address Europe as a whole.

[@amuse @amuse]

NATO: If Europe won’t allow us to use the bases we man and fund for their defense when we need them we ought to close them down and remove our troops from Europe. If they get attacked by Russia we can discuss whether or not we have the time to help.

[KnowThyself @KnowThyselfPro]

Mind boggling that Europe still does not understand the stakes.

[Dandalf @DanTalks1]

Most in America don't know this but the US has financially bailed Europe out through central bank dollar swap lines a few times. It allows European banks access to dollars when they're stressed of liquidity. It's one of the big benefits of being in the US alliance system.

Where you pledge govt debt and get dollars on a temporary basis. It allows the smooth functioning of the financial system when issues arise.

As Europe has stagnated economically, it's leaders instead of acting as fiduciaries of their nations and stewards of their culture. They decided to make short term decisions and instead loaded their nations with unsustainable debt levels. This is sustained by access to deep and liquid capital markets.

Have European leadership considered what happens when access to this dollar system is removed and you have to access dollars like every other non-ally of the US? What will happen in terms of capital flight, and interest rates rising in Europe.

This is just America cutting you off from privileges that come from being within the American sphere.

What happens when the US treasury gazes it's eye on Spanish govt debt. Did you forget what happened in 2012? Well things are much worse now, and daddy dollars will not be there to bail you out as what happened then, which nobody knows about. But everyone who needs to know, knows.

This is going to get very ugly, I implore Europe to change course, you do not want the smoke from the box you are opening.

[homans top guy @passcoderonald]

“Hey remember you told us we didn’t need Greenland because we can use those bases whenever we want”

“Yes”

“So can we use those bases?”

“No”

[KnowThyself @KnowThyselfPro]

Continuing to underestimate and fundamentally not understand Trump, can have very dire consequences for the EU. America’s supply chain is way more dependent on Asia. Plus Asia has not done any stupid virtue signaling. Therefore Asia will most likely get preferential treatment.

[Nick Delehanty 🇮🇪 @Nick_Delehanty]

Tankers carrying diesel to Europe have changed course.

Several tankers carrying diesel from the US to Europe have changed course mid-Atlantic.

The Aliai, Minerva Vaso and Grand Ace6 all loaded in the US and were initially bound for Europe, with destinations including Amsterdam and Gibraltar.

Their routes have since shifted. The Grand Ace6 is now signaling Lomé in Togo, while the Minerva Vaso is listed “for orders,” indicating no fixed destination as traders wait for better pricing. The Aliai has also diverted southeast, away from its original European route.

The Atlantic is now a “floating market.

Europe diesel shortages will cause collapse of industry.

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.

You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.

Bro.

You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.

You live in a constitutional republic.

Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.

The modern left's definition of fascism:

You love your country? Fascist.

You want to enforce the border? Racist.

You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.

You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.

Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.

But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country.

But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.

Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.

Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.

Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.

Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.

Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.

Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.

Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign.

Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.

But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.

You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours.
And Saturday they had you in the streets carrying their water.

The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.

No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.

Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.

During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.

But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression.

The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.

Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.

That's how you keep power without wearing a crown.

Biden built a censorship machine.

Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire."

They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...

Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.

And it doesn't stop at speech.

The extreme left justifies taking children from families.

Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.

The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.

Same playbook.

During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital.

But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.

$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.

January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.

Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.

Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.

CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.

75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.

Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me."

Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.

One side talks. The other side screams.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched with you Saturday.

Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. Marxism.

The system that killed a hundred million people last century. They had you holding their signs while they said it out loud.

500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were angry.

The money leads to Neville Roy Singham. Billionaire in Shanghai. Attends CCP workshops. Funnels millions through shell companies at UPS mailboxes. Three Congressional committees have subpoenaed him as a suspected CCP foreign agent.

You thought you were fighting for democracy. You were carrying water for Beijing.

"Liberals are leaving the First Amendment behind." Spoken by the ACLU lawyer who defended Nazis in court because it was their constitutional right.

Bill Clinton put 100,000 cops on the street. Reformed welfare. Said illegal immigration is wrong to a standing ovation. Told America the era of big government is over.

Today his own party would call him a fascist.

The 1990s Democrat defended free speech for Nazis. Yours censors doctors for telling the truth.

The 1990s Democrat held open primaries. Yours installed a nominee without a vote.

The 1990s Democrat trusted parents. Yours takes their children.

Historians measure fascism across eight traits. Here's who checks the boxes in 2026:

Censorship of political opposition. Democrats.

Contempt for democratic process. Democrats.

Tolerance of political violence. Democrats.

State ideology forced on families. Democrats.

Corporate-state fusion. Democrats.

Scapegoating and manufactured enemies. Both sides.

Cult of personality. Both sides.

Ultranationalism. Republicans.

Five for the left. One for the right. Two shared.

You marched against kings on Saturday.

You marched FOR kings.

You just didn't know which was which.

Stop being gaslit.

I hope you understand what's at stake.

[Peter Hague @peterrhague]

To be fair the Americans have been yelling this at us, at varying volume, since the Berlin Wall fell.

[KnowThyself @KnowThyselfPro]

@nayibbukele Does anyone recognize the song?

[KnowThyself @KnowThyselfPro]

Hilarious! And I can totally see it! 🤣😅🤣

[Apple Lamps @lamps_apple]

Courts. Congress. Oil. PsyOps. All deployed. All failed.

So they burned Joe Kent.

That single decision tells you everything. A sympathetic Director sitting inside the National Counterterrorism Center is the holy grail of institutional insurgency. A man in that chair can shape threat assessments, slow-walk intelligence, feed information to sympathetic lawmakers, and quietly suffocate a war effort from the inside without leaving fingerprints. Joe Kent in that chair was worth more to the opposition than a thousand Tucker Carlson monologues.

You do not pull an asset like that and detonate him on social media unless the inside game is already dead.

And it was dead. Trump had outrun the entire system. The machinery of internal resistance... the memos, the quiet obstruction, the shaped briefings... all of it operates at institutional speed. Trump was operating at military speed. By the time a saboteur could slow-walk an assessment, CENTCOM had already struck 7,000 targets and the assessment was irrelevant. The war had outpaced the bureaucracy so completely that the most powerful intelligence position in the counterterrorism apparatus couldn't touch it.

So they pulled him out and used him as a weapon. The Israel card. A Gold Star Green Beret who lost his wife to an ISIS bomb in Syria, invoking her name, telling 72 million Americans the Commander-in-Chief was manipulated by a foreign lobby into a fraudulent war. That is the absolute ceiling. There is no bigger payload in the arsenal of psychological warfare against a sitting president. Nothing above it exists.

Which is exactly how you know the magazine is empty.

[KnowThyself @KnowThyselfPro]

Even the AfD are dumb - with no clear understanding of geopolitical nuances or shifting winds. Europe is so screwed!

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

AfD leader Alice Weidel:

“Trump is now asking for help for Iran, it suggests they launched this mission without a clear plan.

They should have thought this through earlier, and I would warn against invoking Article 5 of the NATO treaty.

Obviously the Americans didn’t think about an exit strategy or how this is supposed to continue.”

[KnowThyself @KnowThyselfPro]

@SuitablePolitic I support one donut. Then they should switch to steak and salmon. Protein is important!

[KnowThyself @KnowThyselfPro]

@ChrisMurphyCT Sleazebag rushes to social media to discuss a classified briefing, saying “there is no plan.” There, of course, is a plan. Just not one that can be shared with the likes of you, Senator.

PS Airbrushing your pictures like a chick is sort of creepy.

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

I got news for you: as AI becomes more pervasive the companies that control the data will collate it in ways that advance their agendas. Just like was done during Covid, when anti-lockdowners and anti-maskers were censored.

[KnowThyself @KnowThyselfPro]

@Geiger_Capital Another L for you! Tiresome!

[KnowThyself @KnowThyselfPro]

@bonchieredstate Boy, are Europeans about to find out how their healthcare and vacation benefits are subsidized.

[Magills @magills_]

The match is now going to sudden death, or as Canadians call it, “Free Health Care”.

[KnowThyself @KnowThyselfPro]

@SaysSimulation Europe‘s paying for decades of bad decisions. If it had used the Marshall Plan to rebuild itself, then slowly wean itself from American subsidies, it would have had equal footing to negotiate. But it didn’t. It continues to subsidize its social & energy policies. It has no power.
