Thank you @TheAcademy

@arthritisfinger Not surprising. For some people, seeing it back at $35 is reassurance to be bullish again.

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter

P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.

Trump’s press conference was INSANE:

He confirmed that:

• Iran gets $300B + $100B unfrozen
• Iran has the RIGHT to ballistic missiles
• The U.S. was running out of oil
• A worldwide depression was coming

I was predicting all of this from the first week including that REPARATIONS were coming and got a lot of hate for it.

The sellout MAGA frauds are now going to change their entire life-philosophy and deeply held “principles” over night.

Trump is on his knees. This was ALWASY the ONLY way it was going to end. Even if he thinks he can start the war again. Iran will always win.

It’s check mate. Always has been.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Leaked video shows Obama, on the day he signed the JCPOA Iran Nuclear deal, disgustingly saying:

“If other countries have ballistic missiles, it’s a little bit unfair for Iran to have none.”

What the hell was wrong with him? Sounds like something a traitor would say.

Oops… nevermind. That was Trump yesterday .

[Longtime Black Man Here @groove_sdc]

Only Democrats would have a candidate who was a great boss, got the most votes ever, wins Arizona and Georgia and is the only politician to ever beat Trump and immediately think boy I’m so glad we got rid of that guy!

GOAT President

[David Doney @David_Charts2]

🧵Bidenomics was fantastically successful. Here's a reminder thread. First, Biden had the lowest unemployment rate and highest real wage (purchasing power) on average among the last 11 presidents. 1/

@kadeb707 @BigBooleans @ChrisDJackson You probably thought the same in 2020

[MAB @michaelabina]

@Mel_Ankoly What would have happened if there had been a full primary, and Harris had not won it?

[Tiff4Mahogany_44 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 NATO MEMBER @tiff4mahogany]

I rarely disagree with Secretary Clinton, but what fucking evidence does she have that the Democratic Party would’ve gotten its shit together and nominated a winner?

[MAB @michaelabina]

@JamieMetzl STFU.

[MAB @michaelabina]

@BigBooleans @ChrisDJackson The only person to beat Trump is the only person who could have beaten him again.

[MAB @michaelabina]

@ChrisDJackson After 2 years of Trump 2.0, I'm unsure why Dems are still bashing Biden? I love Hillary, but this is just a terrible take.

[MAB @michaelabina]

@JDVance I'll never be a Republican but I hope Rubio beats you in the 2028 primaries, so we can all laugh in your fucking face.

[MAB @michaelabina]

@757America757 @THR Sue you too

[MAB @michaelabina]

@mtgreenee You would find a way to vote for him a 4th time

[MAB @michaelabina]

@Handre Are these kiosks only in California or can you find them in...Idaho? Kansas? Texas? Looking forward to hearing your answer!

Guys this is absolutely a disaster

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

This is NEWS.

1. Obama: $1.7B in unfrozen assets/cash for 98% reduction in uranium & limit enrichment to 3.7%

2. Trump: $24B in unfrozen assets/cash, $300B reconstruction fund, lifted sanctions in exchange for opened Strait under Iran/Oman control

-From @TheMaineWonk

[Ted S @ClearReason]

If $3 billion for Israel outrages you,

but reports of a $300 billion package for Iran don’t,

it was never about the money.
