@greg16676935420 Historians & geopolitical scholars say: NATO headquarters is in Brussels. The battle of Waterloo was in Belgium. Location of a good portion of the WWII Battle of the Bulge. The country that colonized Congo, Rwanda and Burundi. The home of brussels sprouts. Some other stuff too.

@thedispatch This style works a lot of times. Usually when it doesn’t work there is an escape clause. But, eventually this style results in a rapid action that is catastrophic with no off ramp. Waiting! Waiting! Waiting!

@marcthiessen Supreme Court expansion for reasons proposed by Dems is folly. If Congress expanded the SC it could still be “packed” by Reps or Dems during any period where one party controlled the administration and both houses of Congress. Then later changed again. An exercise in futility.

@Acyn Sound bite: “…dumping in mail ballots…” what does that mean in the context of this video? Dumping where? Origin of the ballots? Is this explained? Any legitimate reasons? Is this in a secure facility with collected ballots in a container dropped on a table for verification?

@ChuckPfarrer @JillPhys1905 Everyone should have the right to last rites… especially ships wrights and someone should write this in the bill of rights.

@ChuckPfarrer What should be used as a means to measure who is and who is not a “warfighter?” Are military medical personnel working in a hospital “warfighters” and should they have military rank? Are maintenance personnel on an aircraft carrier “warfighters” and should they have rank?

@catisacat1 @Dems4TrumpVance @TopFighterPilot @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump What was the average price per gallon in January 2026?

@TopFighterPilot @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump What was the average price in the US in January, 2026?

[Timothy Pasquarelli @timpasq]

@Royalbudline1 @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump Every country in the world? The average price of gas in EU countries is €1.73 per liter. That equates to $7.43 a gallon.

@Bubblebathgirl This is the evidence. She stuck her hand in the pool and caused a 350 foot rip. That is pure power! We have gone insane. People broke windows in the capitol building and our leaders want a $1.8 billion taxpayer defense fund. Someone is traitor for sticking their finger in water.

@Poeslawisalive Satire “is in the eye of the beholder.” What isn’t satire is jackboot thugs looking to find a scapegoat for inept, shoddy, fraudulent and corrupt work at an exorbitant cost start arresting and charging citizens for made up crimes. The message is, when something fails, obfuscate.

@LoopyDoopy95 @flex17134 @GovChristie History shows ideology is more important than some believe. North Vietnamese soldiers were paid bare subsistence & stuck it out. Taliban fighters were paid little & lasted 20 years until the US left. Hamas fighters with low pay have not quit. IRGC has funding beyond oil money.

[Timothy Pasquarelli @timpasq]

@flex17134 @GovChristie “Let's see if Iran can be trusted.” Trump supporters castigate Obama deal saying Iran can’t be trusted… 47 years. Then say let’s see if Iran can be trusted. Control the Strait! Really! With 175K IRGC troops scattered across 5 countries in fighting groups with drones! Good luck!

@atrupar Sen Lindsey “I love war” Graham believes 175,000 IRGC operatives scattered across Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen & Lebanon, supported by Hezbollah & Hamas will not be able to interfere with shipping. How will hundreds of dispersed groups with drones be silenced by the US? Bad ideas.

@Ragnars_Dottir @atrupar His escape clause. When the situation is proven different he can always claim his “understanding” was based on inaccurate information from someone else. Maybe a couple of “Tin Men” aluminum siding salesmen. In a recent interview he said, “Words don’t matter.” Can’t be trusted!

[Timothy Pasquarelli @timpasq]

@JimEric44566439 @atrupar Correct! And, the IRGC doesn’t actually have to use force. The captain of a ship, answering to the owners, will not jeopardize a multi million dollar ship when facing uncertain conditions that have been ongoing for months.

[Timothy Pasquarelli @timpasq]

@guypbenson Run out of patience & do what? IRGC is 175,000 strong. Multiple layered leadership. Scattered across Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon & other areas, bolstered by Hamas & Hezbollah divided in small fighting groups. Armed with drones with 1,000 km range. Do what? Then you deploy!

[Timothy Pasquarelli @timpasq]

@marcthiessen As if Iran’s leaders can’t replenish nuclear materials. As if 175k IRGC doesn’t have multiple layers of leadership. Destroyed their military??? 20 years in Afghanistan. Taliban had no navy. No air force. No missiles. No oil. No West Point or Annapolis grads. How’d that work out?
