Political shitposting and minor military nerdery. Mostly.

When I moved to Florida I realized there are millions of people who have been stewing in rage for years over the lockdowns.

It really made me understand that the core animating force in US society is selfishness. The whole freedom thing is a thin veil for a sense of entitlement.

@DonnaLouise1212 @katyperry @WhiteHouse People, don't argue with the obvious Russian hate account.

@atrupar Funny that Trump won 2016 under the Obama administration and 2024 under the Biden administration.

He lost 2020 under his own administration.

I agree with this. Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but Lindsay Graham was the leading driver of the devastating sanctions bill against Russia. Yesterday, he announced that president Trump agreed to it. He had just returned from Ukraine where it’s not unknown for Russian agents to operate. Russians are expert at administration of poisons that look like heart attacks. All tests should be done immediately to rule out foul play. I’ve seen enough Russian related suspicious deaths to know this is the only course of action

@OlgaLawrence13 @mobbs_mentality Then it should be trivial to verify that.

This tweet from a year ago has been deleted by its author. I'm posting here now as a reminder and as a public service, for anyone, should they ever need it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@RepNancyMace I heard Nancy Mace INTENTIONALLY took a transatlantic flight once. She didn't need to; she chose to.

Stop Nancy Mace from flying trans on our tax dollars.

Spin is one thing, but it is worth noting that virtually everything Vance says about the JCPOA in this clip is wildly misleading or outright false:

1. "The Gulf Coast Coalition loves this deal." (The "Gulf Coast" is in the southern US along the Gulf of Mexico but he is presumably referring here to the Gulf Cooperation Council or GCC.) GCC states don't "love this deal" but support it to end the war that Trump started that led to thousands of attacks on their countries and shut off their exports.

2. "The Obama deal allowed enrichment, ours will not." The Obama deal allowed enrichment that was strictly limited in level, amount, location and types of centrifuges, and carefully monitored by the IAEA. The Trump MOU says nothing about enrichment except that Iran "agreed to discuss the issue...related to Iran's nuclear needs."

3. "The Obama deal allowed the accumulation of stockpiles of weapons-grade material, ours is actually leading to the destruction of that stockpile of enriched material." ??? The Obama deal did not allow the accumulation of any enriched uranium, let alone "weapons-grade material." In fact, the JCPOA required Iran to ship out 98% of all its enriched uranium, leaving it with no more than 300kg of LEU. It was only after Trump tore up that deal that Iran was free to expand that stockpile to thousands of kg, and to start accumulating 60% highly enriched uranium, 400kg of which is still in Iran. All the MOU says about that is that the US and Iran "have agreed to resolve" its disposition and that this will be done "on-site" (not in the US as Trump promised) and does not say to what level.

4. "The Obama deal gave them over a billion dollars of American money." Once again simply false. The JCPOA unfroze some of Iran's own assets and suspended oil sanctions in exchange for comprehensive and nuclear commitments, and did so only after the IAEA had verified their implementation. The Trump MOU gives Iran "immediate" waivers for exports not just of oil but of derivatives and associated services, commits to making frozen assets available without restrictions, and pledges to develop a $300 bn fund for reconstruction and development in Iran. It also undertakes, in any final nuclear deal, to terminate "all types of sanctions" against Iran, which include sanctions for human rights abuses, ballistic missile production, and sponsorship of terrorism.

It's one thing to try to sell an agreement that even your own supporters consider astonishingly weak. It's quite another to try to mislead the American people with blatant distortion of the facts.

Gowdy: I read this MOU about 48 hours ago and I didn't believe it. I thought somebody was spoofing me when I saw it.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

This is an astonishing document. Not a single war aim has been achieved, but Iran receives enormous financial incentives, and even Hezbollah gets some benefits. What an absolute disaster. https://t.co/uj3990eh6q

The threat lightning and violent weather really adds to the 'Nazis opening the Ark of the Covenant' vibe of the UFC fight on the South Lawn.

[Matt Himes @TreyVas99]

@Angry_Staffer A UFC event on the South Lawn under that obscene temple thing feels like a level of arrogance and hubris on par with 'Nazis opening the Ark of the Covenant'.

[Matt Himes @TreyVas99]

@cmclymer This feels like a 'opening the Ark of the Covenant' level of sacrilege.
