It's all manufactured outrage...unfortunately a large number of users on this site are too dumb to se through it.

[Brad @BraddrofliT]

I’m convinced MAGA operates like a swarm.

Someone picks the outrage of the week, everyone gets the memo, and suddenly thousands of accounts are repeating the exact same talking points.

This week: California elections.

Next week: something else.

Different voices. Same script.

@themcclonebrot1 @TeamOssoff What part of his tweet was wrong again?

[Ryan Smith @Ryansmithaz]

@TheRealBigLoua @couchpotato1010 @stephen_richer First you’d have to have a close to replica signature and make sure none of those people also voted. A few times, maybe. Hundreds or thousands, not a chance. Oh, and you have to do this with thousands of people that never once spill the beans on the little secret.

[Ryan Smith @Ryansmithaz]

@FordRapturd @Garrett_Archer But he’s not incorrect and your feelings or some tweet you read on the internet aren’t proof either.

@natespopve76659 @Garrett_Archer @TRoseKay13 … you must be up in arms about the incompetence, grifting, corruption, and waste of this administration…

[Ryan Smith @Ryansmithaz]

@natespopve76659 @Garrett_Archer @TRoseKay13 I’m sorry, but that’s slightly frightening that you have a BA in poly sci and you teach civics and history in school, and yet all you could muster was to regurgitate the same worn out platitudes.

No, Chad—you don’t deserve compensation for J6. Not for trespassing, not for damaging our Capitol, and certainly not for downplaying your conduct that day.

Here’s Chad, in the red puffer, smashing the windows of the Speaker’s Lobby at 2:44pm on J6. https://t.co/ZpxCvBmruC

@NiallHarbison Amazing transformation and awesome to see the love both ways.

Fun fact for the $10 billion lawsuit crowd.

The IRS leak that exposed Donald Trump’s tax returns happened between August 2019 and November 2020.

405,427 other taxpayer returns were also leaked.

Trump was president. His own pick, Charles Rettig, ran the IRS. The contractor who did it, Charles Littlejohn, worked on a Trump-era IRS contract and is now serving five years in federal prison.

On January 29, 2026, Trump sued the IRS and Treasury for $10 billion over a breach that happened on his watch, under his commissioner, by a contractor his administration paid.

He is suing the federal government he ran, for failing to stop a leak that occurred while he was running it.

The taxpayer foots the bill either way.

BREAKING: Basha HS OT Jake Hildebrand (@JakeH_2027) just gave the Sun Devils their highest-ranked in-state pledge in 247Sports history and their highest-ranked OL commitment this century. A massive "Hometown Hero" addition for ASU. More historical context:

During one operation, Ukrainian forces quickly captured a column of Russian armored vehicles. But instead of simply blowing up the tanks and IFVs, Ukrainian crews did something the Russians never expected.

They climbed into the captured Russian tanks, switched on the Russian radios, and calmly drove deep into enemy territory pretending to be Russian forces.

The Russian convoy had been moving in tight formation. Ukrainian soldiers rapidly neutralized the crews, seized the vehicles, and within minutes were driving along the very road the occupiers had just used. They spoke Russian over the radio, used Russian call signs, and even copied the style of Russian communications. At checkpoints, Russian troops simply waved them through, believing they were friendly units returning from a mission.

The Ukrainians then drove straight onto the grounds of a Russian brigade headquarters.

Once the tanks were inside the base, Ukrainian crews suddenly turned their turrets and opened fire. Headquarters buildings, ammunition depots, and vehicle parks instantly descended into chaos. Russian troops ran between tents in panic, shouting and firing in every direction — but it was already too late. They had allowed a “Trojan horse” directly into their own base.

The entire operation lasted only minutes. Ukrainian forces captured the headquarters, took Russian officers prisoner, destroyed key military targets, and withdrew without losses.

Good news, everybody!

It sucks you're spending more on gas, but did you know that you're *checks notes* spending more on everything else, too! Think of how great this is for the CC companies!"

205 years ago today, three brave Americans defeated El Guapo at the Battle of Santa Poco to give Mexico its independence.

Happy Cinco de Mayo to all who celebrate.

@wesmoss1018 Can’t wait! 😊

@iliveindc @wesmoss1018 @GasBuddyGuy @lsferguson Russia supplies ~12% of global oil. When they invaded, prices shot from ~$84/barrel to $130 in weeks. Sanctions and import bans on Russia for their unprovoked attack. Global war = global prices. Pretty basic supply/demand.
