Politics, football and gaming. Apparently I Facebooked like a Twitter so here I am using real Twitter

@MOSenateGOP Or you could just get better policies. Why should a vote in Kansas City matter less than a vote in Sedalia?

Brother, shut the fuck up. You’ve spent this month sitting next to soccer greatness who agree American youth sports are too expensive, but you can’t stop suckling at the money teat.

Youth sports should be for all, it isn’t incumbent on your birth to determine.

[Alexi Lalas @AlexiLalas]

Youth soccer (youth sports) is a competitive market with businesses selling a product that obviously customers are willing to pay for. I’d love if soccer was free to all. But who is going to pay for all this free soccer?

@RichardGrenell Insane dick riding bud.

You all deserve to be mocked and laughed at for the rest of your lives for such a catastrophic failure.

Utter and complete disgrace.

@RogerMarshallMD You are a small, weak man who serves no purpose other than licking the boots of your party leader.

Put the fries in the bag, Rog

Being mad at The Weather Channel for reporting the weather is exactly what I’d expect from this administration.

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

This event is about celebrating America’s unmatched greatness after 250 years — which apparently doesn’t sit well with the friendless loser who wrote this bullshit clickbait headline.

Rain or shine, we’re celebrating our great country no matter what. GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🇺🇸

@jackunheard We all know the best terror plots are written on sheet cake.

@VanMottola @micah_erfan @greg_price11 Yes, that’s the point he is making

[Nathaniel Hunt @nathaniel_hunt]

It’s easy to say one looks “better” when you’re splitting up dense population areas to dilute urban votes between multiple red, mostly rural districts.

They are big and blocky because it’s a lot of land and not a lot of voters.

Just super dumb.

[Logan Dobson @LoganDobson]

it's funny when libs are like "if REPUBLICANS do an EVIL GERRYMANDER, BLUE STATES should respond"

and the red-state map just looks normal as hell and the blue-state response looks like a toddler's scrawling on the kids menu

@Watcher3552028 No clue why she chose The Star to release her statement, I’m not in her press office.

She’s not the most interactive on social media though, mostly looks like a bunch of pre-scheduled posts. She seems to prefer more trad media methods.

ANOTHER GIVEAWAY‼️

[Nathaniel Hunt @nathaniel_hunt]

The current sitting president called members of Congress “seditious” and made sure to specify that was an action “punishable by death”.

You’re complaining about a YouTuber though, do you know basically the same.

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

Hey Tim, if you oppose political violence why were you happy to share a stage with Hasan Piker, a man who called for "capitalist blood to run in the street"?

And said of assassinating Trump, "Someone's gotta do it"?

And said of Rick Scott, "If Republicans truly cared about Medicare fraud, they would kill Rick Scott"?

And suggested Americans shouldn't have sympathy for murder victim Brian Thompson because "Brian Thompson, as the UnitedHealthcare CEO, was engaging in a tremendous amount of social murder"?

And why, when your colleagues said he is an unacceptable coalition partner, did you argue FOR keeping him in your "tent," describing him as just like Joe Rogan, a "guy with some bad opinions"?

Why did you excuse this violent language of his by saying it's just because he "talks for eight hours a day"?

Why did you flippantly dismiss this rhetoric as "impure thoughts"?

Why did you suggest that these comments are less offensive than "what you hear from MAGA"?

That doesn't comport with someone who really opposes political violence.

[Kansas City Chiefs @Chiefs]

Chiefs Kingdom, who wants a signed jersey from our newest cornerback?!?

RT for a chance to win‼️

Brother, you are very dumb.

[Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY]

Year of our Lord 2026: Democrat US Senator openly rooting for Iran to defeat the US in battle. Every Dem on the Hill ought to be hounded today by every reporter to answer for this lunatic.

[Nathaniel Hunt @nathaniel_hunt]

Hey uhh, what the fuck?

[Palantir @PalantirTech]

Because we get asked a lot.

The Technological Republic, in brief.

1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.

2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.

3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.

4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.

5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.

6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.

7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way.

8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.

9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret.

10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed.

11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.

12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin.

13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.

14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war.

15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia.

16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn.

17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives.

18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within.

19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all.

20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim.

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.

22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

@TanesaRHill @TerminalAscent @CAgovernor The mayor doesn’t control KCPD response times. Mayor Lucas has actually pushed to increase pay and bonuses to fight the dispatcher shortages and help.

Good to see you’ve resorted to ad hominem and anecdotes. Hope you have a lovely day, it’s a lovely brisk day in KC!

[Nathaniel Hunt @nathaniel_hunt]

@TanesaRHill @TerminalAscent @CAgovernor And you live in the made up world where all choices and actions are binary. There’s no evidence that the mayor or the city aren’t “blaming criminals” too. You are just fighting ghosts bud.

[Nathaniel Hunt @nathaniel_hunt]

@TanesaRHill @TerminalAscent @CAgovernor KCMO is overrun by privately owned parking lots who do nothing to secure them and are breeding grounds for crime.

43% of the KCMO budget goes to public safety. A significant chunk of that to KCPD, who has seen budget increases every year. Hard to blame the city for not funding

[Nathaniel Hunt @nathaniel_hunt]

@TanesaRHill @TerminalAscent @CAgovernor Do you feel like it’s the mayors job to hold criminals accountable? How do you suggest he is more well positioned to do so?

[Nathaniel Hunt @nathaniel_hunt]

@Yordanarchist @TerminalAscent @CAgovernor You’re the one that said it was a safer city. It very clearly isn’t.
