So, if it was a Mexican student who had protested instead of a Palestinian would calling him a "filthy Mexican" be appropriate in this forum?

From Matt Lewis: https://x.com/mattklewis/status/1899197094738493690 Here’s the punchline, folks — the economy was actually fine. Jobs were up, inflation had stabilized, business was good. And then this guy storms in like a drunk dad at a Little League game screaming “PUT THE TARIFFS IN!” and now everyone’s looking around wondering why the stock market looks like a roller coaster.

"Filthy Palestinian student" SMH.

Of the ones attacking and beating the Capitol Police?

I am not sure Blue Sky would be any better on this news item.

https://x.com/AttorneyCrump/status/1898577031111062008 D.C. is erasing history by removing Black Lives Matter Plaza—once a powerful symbol of justice—amid pressure. This decision ignores the fight for racial equality and the millions who were inspired by its message. We must keep pushing for change!

It appears that a lot of users have had problems, to the point that "My Twitter" is trending, which is amusing after Elon's rebranding to X. https://x.com/search?q="My Twitter"&src=trend_click&vertical=trends

SMH.

Pretending or not, it doesn't matter. HT is probably a shut in who has nothing else to do with his time but post in every thread here whether he knows anything about the subject matter or not. I put him ignore after repeatedly confronting his false statements with fact checking links that he never was able to refute, and usually just doubled down on his nonsense after being proven wrong. I might feel sorry for him if he wasn't so obnoxious.

Has been working fine for me this morning.

And it is only going to get worse from this point on.

Was Trump dumb enough to think that Canadians want to be the 51st state?

Oh, yeah, I've seen interviews with on a couple of late night shows (Jimmy Kimmel and Colbert, I think, can't remember). He doesn't come across as a Rhodes Scholar or a MENSA member, but he seems a fairly intelligent guy.

This is the Jack Reacher I pictured from the books. Alan Ritchson seems to have grown into the role (maybe he started reading the books too).

SMH.

Which are Jewish people?

Can't say for sure that you are a white supremacist, but you obviously are an anti-semite.

And to make matters worse, that aggressor is Putin. Ronald Reagan is spinning in his grave.

https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1898784687260074446 Trump declined to rule out a recession this year during an interview on Fox. https://x.com/NicholasABrown_/status/1898785162453803279 TRUMP: “I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition, because what we’re doing is very big. We’re bringing wealth back to America. That’s a big thing, and there are always periods, it takes a little time.”

Because the numbers were exagerrated to make it seem like a genocide or ethnic cleansing.

And none of the MAGA crowd will have any problem with our sending these people to their probable death. I would guess that there will not be one Republcian in Congress who will speak out against Trump over this. SMH. Sad what we are becoming as a country.

His weekend golf trips have now cost $18.2 MILLION—all while he plays at his own resorts. In just 7 weeks, he’s golfed 6 weekends straight. Americans struggle, but Trump’s living large—on your dime.

Jack Daniel's CEO Lawson Whiting said Canadians taking American liquor off store shelves was a disproportionate response to Trump's tariffs. "I mean, that's worse than a tariff, because it's literally taking your sales away." Fun Fact: Lawson Whiting is a Republican who supported Donald Trump.
