You know you’re in the wrong when you post a TWENTY TWO MINUTE long video to try to explain why you’re not.

Good grief.

It is frankly embarrassing that a sitting U.S. Vice President is unaware of one of the most elementary facts of World War II. Nazi Germany did not negotiate an end to World War II. The war in Europe ended with Germany’s unconditional surrender after total military defeat and the collapse of the regime in May 1945.

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

[Jamie Walters, CAIA @JWalters314]

This is a fake comparison.

SpaceX did not “lift America out of poverty.”

It created paper millionaires for people close enough to the equity structure.

That is not the same thing.

An IPO or liquidity event can absolutely make employees rich. Good for them. But that proves ownership works for people who are allowed into the ownership pool. It does not prove the economic system works for everyone else.

SpaceX’s value was not created in a vacuum by Elon handing out magic capitalism dust. It rests on NASA contracts, defense spending, public research, launch infrastructure, regulatory protection, tax law, capital markets, public procurement, engineers, technicians, welders, logistics workers, and years of investor tolerance.

So when someone says, “SpaceX created thousands of millionaires,” the honest translation is:

A public-private, state-backed, capital-market-driven company had a massive equity event, and people close to the cap table became rich.

Fine.

But that is not a rebuttal to Warren.

Warren’s job is not to mint millionaires through stock options. Her political argument is about wages, consumer protection, bankruptcy rules, health care costs, student debt, corporate power, taxation, and whether ordinary workers get a fair deal.

Saying “Elon created millionaires and Warren did not” is like saying a casino jackpot did more for one gambler than food stamps did for a hungry family.

It confuses concentrated upside with broad public welfare.

The real question is not whether 4,000 or 5,000 SpaceX insiders became millionaires.

The question is why America treats that as a civilization-level achievement while millions of workers still cannot afford housing, health care, child care, retirement, or a few months without a paycheck.

That is the propaganda move.

Turn rare proximity to capital into proof that the system works.

Then tell everyone outside the cap table to applaud.

Penn State got a post-season ban, vacated wins, scholarship reduction, fired everybody, and the perpetrator went to prison.

Cody Campbell is a dumbass.

MAGA: Obama’s $1.7 billion to Iran to reduce uranium stockpile by 98% = TREASON.

MAGA when they find out 2026 proposal includes: $12B up front, $12B in 60 days, $300B reconstruction plan & conceding Hormuz to Iran & not addressing ballistic missiles or enriched uranium/nukes:

Call me a hater but I think living in a world where both trillionaires and global poverty coexist is a sign humanity has failed as a species

Remember when Musk challenged the World Food Program to explain how he could solve world hunger with just $6 billion, they did, and he just completely ignored them?

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

I'm shocked they haven't deleted this tweet confirming that DOGE cut the funding for the screwworm eradication program.

Have the plague you voted for!

Hitler killed himself and Germany surrendered. Japan got nuked. Do they teach history in Ohio?

[qǝlɐɔ @EMAWCaleb]

Sandusky is still in prison and Joe Pa literally died from a broken heart and shame after being fired. He was the coach there over 40 years and they fired him.

Cody Campbell is the world’s biggest idiot.

There's no better case for socialism than the world's first trillionaire being a massive loser who cosplays as his mom and baby online and lies about being good at video games in an attempt to give his life meaning.

The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice

And here we are 27 years later RFK Jr dredging up the same nonsense

Such a tiresome waste of time

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Let's walk through what actually happened here, in order.

DOGE cut the USAID program specifically designed to prevent screwworm from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. DOGE cut USDA's animal disease control and prevention funding. That funding had supported more than 180 outbreak investigations in 22 countries and capacity-building in more than 160 laboratories. The screwworm monitoring and response program that watched the border for exactly this parasite - cut.

Then screwworm showed up in Texas cattle. Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a disaster for Zavala and Uvalde counties this week.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins went on CNBC this morning and blamed the Biden administration, 17 months out of office.

Her specific words: "obviously not much had been done to push back."

The program that was supposed to push back existed. DOGE eliminated it in March 2025. Rollins has been Agriculture Secretary since February 13, 2025. The cuts happened on her watch.

Beef prices are already high. Ranchers in south Texas are now dealing with a flesh-eating parasite that was eradicated in this country in the 1960s - eradicated, specifically, using the sterile fly program her department defunded.

The flies existed. The program existed. The budget existed.

Until it didn't.

The man who promised to fix inflation on day one took inflation from 2.9% to 4.2% and says he 'loves' it.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Every fact is “fake news”

Every protest is “paid agitators”

Everything they don’t like is a “hoax”

Every election they lose is “rigged”

Imagine being so fucking weak and pathetic that you have to invent an alternate reality because you’re incapable of dealing with the truth.
