@Acyn Let's be real: Trump deserves some credit for not mentioning how handsome he finds Hasan

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@Chennault20 @Easybakeovensz This is reporting on a strike from the first day of the action, a month prior to CENTCOM's statement. God forbid anyone ever challenge the Pentagon on anything.

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@ZeGoodTrader @DeItaone Can you be specific as to what that something would be? The White House has given only about ten different rationales for the war and the only one that seems to make sense is that Israel wants it

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@viniciuslisboa @BRICSinfo No ships left, that's what Trump said two days ago. Except just now I saw a new headline from an hour ago saying 10 Iranian mine-laying vessels had been sunk today (later updated to 16). They must have been lying at first but I'm sure they're telling the truth now!

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@Eden_Eats Haha! It's even funnier than the original version that went viral years ago and has already generated its own derivatives! Great stuff!

@solzhenidiot Those are some savage highlighted excerpts, thanks for doing the footwork. Next you should try reading the part in between. This may help you to discern the secret of socialism, whose import and tendency the bourgeoisie judges more correctly than so-called socialism judges itself

@ThatAlexWoman "tangs like it's gone damp and foetid" oh, you mean it takes on sensory property X as if it has taken on separate sensory properties Y and Z? You're blowing my mind here, Nabokov

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@richardbridd21 @souljagoyteller You seem to have decided on his behalf that he does in fact need a Jewish state, or should support one. That's weird and pushy of you.

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@ericadamsfornyc You're right Mr Adams, this is outrageous! I can't believe that Mamdani as the sitting mayor isn't doing more to help the working families, and just recently allowed another rent increase at that! Wait, I'm just getting word that Mamdani is not yet the mayor. Well who is it then?

@vapelawguy @OcrazioCornPop @ZohranKMamdani @as400495 @danawhite Big Balls quit DOGE months ago. Anyway this is a weird look, why do you want to see this guy fight? The one that the President had to call the National Guard in for when he got his ass kicked by some leftist Lizzie McGuire?

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@OcrazioCornPop @ZohranKMamdani @as400495 This is a gold-medal spin on "got hospitalized by a teenage girl"

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@BillCalamari @HarshaWalia It's a hat. Can't say I've ever seen "he was wearing a hat" as a justification for brutality.

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@mattyglesias So true. The city of Wall Street, the city where Donald Trump hails from, is basically like Petrograd in 1917 and can be safely ignored for purposes of your party's national strategy

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@DumboDhruvi @o444_h2 @upholdreality Who's "we"? You are not an American

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@snakeCaseSucks @DumboDhruvi @upholdreality They're not even particularly good at that though, the Taliban and the Houthis are both in power right now

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@TedinAngryMode @fbermingham Chomsky IIRC makes a point that IMO is relevant here, that the Western business press (esp since 1991) is beholden to a certain floor of truthfulness in that investors rely on it to guide their decisionmaking. Online people tend to overestimate propagandistic imperatives.

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@izzyqueenof @bentreyf I think you are overestimating the consequences of Trump being made to look like a fool. What was the outcome of his adventure to Korea?

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@BenzionSanders @YinonMagal Fools in the replies pretend it matters this patch isn't "officially sanctioned." As if it hasn't always been settler fanatics leading the govt by the nose. There's a lot of shit IDF troops have done that's not "officially sanctioned," in the sense that they'll never own up to it

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@Rafaelkhach @BenzionSanders @YinonMagal The postulate delivers once again—auto-translate any reply in Hebrew on a thread about the conflict and read something Hitlerian

[Pharaoh Monke @picaresquieu]

@AresRound3 This is from the same sort of cretinism that demands to know "where's the protests against Hamas?!" As if the nature of political action is not making concrete demands of people in power whom we can expect to sway, but just going out in public to express how we feel about stuff.
