@skibidipoopee @wrvb3 @Sargon_of_Akkad Wait till you see how they twist “gun violence” deaths in the US then if you think this is bad.

@camhenry11 @reddit_lies Why can’t both things be true?

@realpeteyb123 When people are so hooked on the opioid that is free stuff, there is zero chance of “fixing the system” or “changing it from the inside.” Think about all the welfare and brainwashing from birth on and you will come to the realization that this is not going to be fixed by votes.

@devorydarkins Nah, it was for Israel. And yes, I love the USA.

[Ben Smith @almostthebest]

@TimSheehyMT THAT’S the framing you’re going with of this situation? Yikes.

@cboyack If the government gave me a special break in taxes for homeschooling, they would assume that that means they have a say in what or how I homeschool and I’m all set with that. It’s a rock and a hard place, but I’d rather have them out of my business in this case.

@JeremyUnplugged @IanCarrollShow Maybe the fact that it’s even close, but one is supposedly an imminent threat and one is supposedly our greatest ally, is telling enough?

[Ben Smith @almostthebest]

@SenatorHick lol, we are like $36 trillion in debt, and something that requires the labor of another person cannot be a right.

@DaddiesGyrl_05 @LeadingReport I have bad news for you, apart from “orange”, you just described every president in your lifetime.

@nerdgirltori @MMarhold53817 @MilaLovesJoe It’s not unfathomable to think that something can cause something without being the sole cause. We can get cancer from smoking, but smoking didn’t “invent” cancer. Your line of reasoning doesn’t make sense.

@MysticValley01 @Sadie_NC What about “my old man” and “squad car”?

@AlSultan_Meriam @libsoftiktok @UnivOfKansas Free speech protects you from the government silencing you, it doesn’t protect you from losing your job if it goes against their code of conduct. Clearly this school is ok with it, but it’s not a free speech issue.

@TheOnlyDSC @grok what cruise line is this and is there more context? Are they always like this now?

[Ben Smith @almostthebest]

@jarvis_best I like the part where they compare 1916 US military to 2025 US military. I am not a supporter of our money choices, just to clarify, but that’s beyond laughable.

[Ben Smith @almostthebest]

@beinlibertarian There is no $600…they’re both just inflation, you can’t pay down debt with debt.

[Ben Smith @almostthebest]

@theistinthought @BobMurphyEcon @StefanMolyneux Good thing you are in no position to pass judgement, then. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Ben Smith @almostthebest]

@NickAdamsinUSA I support eliminating property taxes for everyone who owns their home. You can’t “own” something if it can be taken away from not continuing to pay for it.

@Mtruthfacts @thatdayin1992 Why didn’t Biden release that info then?

[Ben Smith @almostthebest]

@therabbithole Saying they haven’t been successful in dealing with the problem implies they’ve actually cared to try. They’ve been successful at what they do, that’s why the debt is what it is.
