🎯 Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."
Three theaters have a common pattern. In each, an American adversary ends up stronger, and an American ally ends up weaker, more isolated, and less certain of our word. This is not the absent-minded drift of a distracted government. It is the consistent application of a thesis Vance has stated plainly for years: that the world is multipolar, that resources are scarce, that allies must fend for themselves, and that America should pull back to what he deems vital and let the other great powers run their own neighborhoods.
The trouble is what that thesis costs. American leadership was never charity. It was the cheapest insurance policy in history. We maintain a forward presence that keeps the sea lanes open, the rivals contained, and the wars small. Trade it away and you do not get a tidy multipolar balance. You get a world where Iran rebuilds, Turkey drifts, Russia digests, China watches, and every ally concludes the American guarantee is a wasting asset to be hedged against. Isolation does not make us safer. It makes us smaller, and it makes the people who wish us harm bolder.

This is pretty hard to square with everything he’s said about pretty much all the previous presidents — including when many of them were presidents. And the vast majority of people who applaud this are surely hypocrites too. It’s fine not to respect presidents. They work for us.
@HouseGOP Simultaneously, nearly every Republican voted to increase spending by hundreds of billions with no plan to pay for it, which is why Americans are suffering rampant inflation today.

So @FoxNews has done independent reporting to corroborate this, right? Pretty sure when Obama or Biden said stuff, the Fox social media accounts didn’t just report the president’s statements as fact.
I love that Ukraine now has free rein to hammer the shit out of strategic targets in Moscow as Putin's air defenses collapse.
Russia is losing this war. Crimea will fall soon.
Putin should avoid...windows.
This is correct. I attended the Supreme Court arguments. Trump DOJ argued alongside Bayer/Monsanto that because the EPA had already blessed glyphosate, no state government could require labels disclosing cancer risk. The EPA & DOJ in this instance was only there to protect Bayer.
Republicans decrying communist involvement in the Democrat party just looked the other way when this administration nationalized ownership of these private companies:
• Intel 10%
• MP Materials 15%
• Lithium Americas 5%
• Trilogy Metals 10%
• U.S. Steel “golden share”
