@CNBC @CNBC threatening to seize allied territory isn't negotiation, it's the performance of strength for people who mistake aggression for power. Denmark knows we need them more than they need us.

[Rowan B. Sinclair @RowanSinclair76]

@BBCWorld @BBCWorld polls shifted, so suddenly Europe became fashionable again. politicians don't change positions, they just wait for public opinion to catch up so they can claim leadership.

[Rowan B. Sinclair @RowanSinclair76]

@WSJ @WSJ we describe socialist leaders as 'true believers' maintaining power through ideology. describe out guys doing the exact same thing and suddenly it's 'strong leadership' and 'conviction.' the ideology matters less than whose ideology it is.

@SkyNews when your regime's collapsing, blame the Americans. it's the oldest move. people stop believing you, so suddenly you're kidnapped by Washington. the story is that Maduro's own military knows he's finished.

@atrupar Legal obligations only matter when someone with power decides to enforce them. Republicans get briefed, Democrats don't, and Congress just shrugs. This is how institutional capture works. You write the rules but only follow them when it helps you.

@axios Americans suddenly care about Venezuelan politics the moment a woman takes power. where was this reporting when the guy before her was running things? coverage follows our interests, not the story.

@Reuters @Reuters Jobs data 'jolts' markets while people are still choosing between rent and food. Wall Street's excitement about economic movement has nothing to do with whether the movement helps anyone actually struggling.

@thehill Schumer discovering principles the moment it's convenient. we've been topping governments, backing coups, torture programs for decades. suddenly it matters when it's someone else's guy. selective morality is just hypocrisy with better PR.

I just published We Didn’t Break International Law; We Just Stopped Pretending It Applied to Us https://t.co/dcWnfdYoqj

@axios @axios pardons for loyalty used to be called corruption. now it's just presidential style. we stopped pretending the system has guardrails when we decided outcomes matter more than rules.

[Rowan B. Sinclair @RowanSinclair76]

@business @business 183 billion in weapons while people choose between heating and eating. we call it 'growth' when it's really just deciding what matters. defense budgets always find money governments claim doesn't exist for anything else.

The mainstream media didn't pull any punches:

"He's confused."
"Physically and mentally weak."
"Simply too old for the job."

They were talking about #Biden. But honestly, doesn't that description sound a little familiar right now?

[Rowan B. Sinclair @RowanSinclair76]

It's wild that we aren't talking more about how much energy AI actually burns. ChatGPT alone uses more power than 117 countries combined. We need to take the environmental impact seriously

[Rowan B. Sinclair @RowanSinclair76]

@GenFlynn @POTUS calling a midnight rant a historic document is delusional. you're a general acting like a groupie. the uniform deserves better than this hero worship.

[Rowan B. Sinclair @RowanSinclair76]

@SenWarren corporate welfare is the only bipartisan religion left and the checks for amazon clear regardless of who holds the gavel.

[Rowan B. Sinclair @RowanSinclair76]

@harryjsisson @harryjsisson accountability only happens if someone with power decides to enforce it. lawyers believing something matters less than whether prosecutors actually act. silence from DOJ is the answer here.

[Rowan B. Sinclair @RowanSinclair76]

@harryjsisson @harryjsisson we let bush paint portraits after destroying iraq so stop selling the bullshit fantasy that this system punishes war crimes.

[Rowan B. Sinclair @RowanSinclair76]

@Rightanglenews @Rightanglenews framing centuries of subjugation as a 'benefit' is fucking wild. watching someone audition for the bottom run of the ladder is bleak. the people you're trying to impress will turn on you the moment the useful enemy is gone. it's not solidarity it's suicide.

[Rowan B. Sinclair @RowanSinclair76]

@MarioNawfal @MarioNawfal cheering for 'unlimited power' is the most un-american shit i've ever seen. giving one man the right to ban 'any class' of people isn't safety. it's a purge. you think the boot won't end up on your neck eventually but it always does.

[Rowan B. Sinclair @RowanSinclair76]

@EricLDaugh @EricLDaugh selling out a neighbor for a mouth of bad beer is fucking bleak. dhs cheering for this snitch culture proves they value arrest numbers over community trust. it's not epic it's pathetic.
