Remember when Democrats and the media called Bernie Sanders a conspiracy theorist for warning about this? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Here's a secret: they're going along with it because they agree with him.

Elon shadowbanned or outright banned large accounts that he disagreed with. Sort of an important omission from your made up story.

But he’s just like my grandpa 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Maybe the Democratic coalition should start listening to the online left.

If someone who is obsessed with the aesthetics of protest would like to use an American flag, they should just make sure it's upside down for message coherency.

Can we stop telling fairytales? Zelensky is as weak as he’s ever been objectively. The US just told him to kick rocks. The EU sending thoughts and prayers made him stronger? lol.

“I am shocked that a norm has been violated” - Dems for the last decade.

Submission? Ukraine’s usefulness as a drain on Russian military power has concluded. That’s it. Folks are scandalized that Trump made it so plain, but this is a sausage made countless times throughout US history. “Take Libya’s oil to repay the cost of our bombs” rings a bell.

We live in a country where money = speech is codified. Can we stop acting scandalized by expressions of that reality?

It’s always darkest before the dawn. But like, well before dawn.

A successful politician believes in almost nothing but whatever short term strategies are necessary to obtain more power. The idea that the US is/was supporting Ukraine because it cares about democracy should be blatantly absurd at this point.

Ukraine would have fought and lost nearly instantly without our support. We gave just enough to draw things out with the intention of bleeding Russia without escalating to a nuclear standoff. It’s just odd that folks still think this was about right and wrong.

It is somewhat amusing to me that a public which watched the US government fast track billions of dollars of weapons to Israel so it could commit a live-streamed genocide are now scandalized by a little argument between three gangsters.

Yes, but also, is Zelensky genuinely deserving of respect though?

I grew up in the US, which has been the world's abuser for a long time. Maybe other countries will finally learn that the US is not a reliable ally and never has been.

Right, but the fact that Russia has them is why we can't "dog walk" them. It's a very potent deterrent! Just ask Libya.

The US alone could have ended that war in a week if it wanted to. It didn't. Macron acting like the west were the good guys is something only credulous rubes should be buying at this point. The US got exactly what it wanted: a weakened Russia.

They have nukes.

They're not. The general public has been mercilessly propagandized into believing Putin is an omnipotent super villain controlling world politics. The US controls world politics. In this case, Russia benefits and Ukraine doesn't. We pick the winners and losers.

We've been a gangster state for a long time. Remember "Bomb Libya and take its oil"? Did you miss the last year plus of us acting as little more than a supplicant to Netanyahu? Trying to understand the scandalized intelligentsia over three gangsters showing you how the sausage is made.

A hero? LOL

He's a comedian who rose to power thanks to a color revolution undersigned by the US and in part on a commitment to end the shelling of Donbas upon which he reneged when Ukrainian ultranationalists told him to. He's a gangster just like Trump, but with way less power.

The best is when an interlocutor accuses you of "acting" like the "smartest guy in the room". It's an admission that they find you to be a formidable opponent and it annoys them.

"Also, we should ban tiktok."

Dems figured out tiktok exists 6 months after passing a bill to ban it.

I didn't realize I had a deviated septum until my early 40's.

Bill passage in the most conservative western congress/parliament in the world as a sign of "effectiveness" has always been a bizarre/stupid criticism.
