This is the most disappointed I've been in a long time.

I've been assuming Trump's focus on this "deal" was for the benefit of the Muslim world, and not out of any delusion that Iran would abide by it.

Did it matter Trump wasn't seriously injured in Butler??

@Adi13 @DavidMWeissman @JDVance I've said it 100 times or more: I'll never trust Vance until he disavows "post-liberal" and gives a full-throated defense of the US Constitution and Israel.

Still, I appreciate these low-wisdom accounts outing themselves so I can block them.

[Matt Knowles @Nihimon]

@urgentintel @ConceptualJames Sure - he hasn't said anything at all lately that would give a reasonable person cause for concern. </s>

Sometimes I really wonder about you.

[Matt Knowles @Nihimon]

@AnamaMOSS I feel the impulse, but I'm undecided.

My first vote was for W in '04. I don't regret it.

I'd actually prefer to see elected pols effectively neutered unless they received a majority of eligible votes (or more comprehensive changes in the same spirit).

John Lennon wrote a beautiful song about socialism.

“Imagine no possessions” he told us.

He also:
– helped write his band’s anti-tax anthem, Taxman
– incorporated his IP holdings
– moved to a lower-tax country
– fiercely protected his royalties
- drove two Rolls Royce’s and had multiple luxury homes.
– made sure even the royalty cheques for Imagine were kept safe for his estate so his family would remain wealthy in perpetuity.

If he believed it, he’d have lived it. The trouble with socialism is that even the people who love the idea won’t run the experiment on themselves.

John Lennon writing Imagine while owning two Rolls Royce Phantoms and later having a law suit to protect his royalties tells you all you need to know about socialism in practice.

It doesn’t work outside of the imagination.

@AnamaMOSS I'm praying I live to see Israel receive its rightful place as the Head of the Nations.

@Adi13 @TheOfficerTatum @RepLuna I'm blocking so many accounts that reveal their only objection to Biden-era censorship was the choice of targets.

[Matt Knowles @Nihimon]

@AnamaMOSS My "stay and fight for Liberty" comment was really more about "where else could *I* go?"

[Matt Knowles @Nihimon]

@AnamaMOSS I think X is doing something to your account. I can't see my reply - just an error.

[Matt Knowles @Nihimon]

@RepLuna @VP You reveal an astounding lack of wisdom.

Vance is the kind of guy who thinks the only thing wrong with Biden-era censorship was the choice of targets.

Are you the same kind of authoritarian?

[Matt Knowles @Nihimon]

@marklevinshow Vance appears to think the only thing wrong with Biden-era censorship was the choice of targets.

[Matt Knowles @Nihimon]

@ConceptualJames I'm utterly unsurprised to learn that Vance's only real criticism of Biden-era censorship is target selection.

[Matt Knowles @Nihimon]

@AnamaMOSS Vance is exactly the kind of person who thinks the only thing wrong with Biden-era censorship was the targets.

[Matt Knowles @Nihimon]

@Adi13 This is a kissing-cousin of the UK turning a blind eye to massive lawlessness among one group while singling out the victims of that group for hyper-vigilant prosecution.

X was never freed from the authoritarian communists of Twitter.

[Matt Knowles @Nihimon]

@ConceptualJames It's been evident for quite some time (since I started using X frequently shortly after Trump won the 2024 election) that there are still authoritarian communists embedded in X, controlling speech and biasing Grok's training.

[Matt Knowles @Nihimon]

@Adi13 I see this as an opportunity to clarify who on our side is actually on our side. It's a great chance to unfollow or block people (like Rep Luna) who clearly lack wisdom.

[Matt Knowles @Nihimon]

@Adi13 The idea that Elon cleared out all the authoritarian communists is a pipe dream. It's been evident in things like this, and in Grok's training biases, for quite some time.

[Matt Knowles @Nihimon]

@CynicalPublius He didn't have to say what he said...

[Matt Knowles @Nihimon]

@Adi13 The greatest threat to the Rule of Law is insiders using it for personal gain, to reward friends and punish enemies.
