    For me, one of the main benefits of making some money is not having to wear a gimp suit for anybody. To each his own.

    This was brilliantly executed by @realDonaldTrump. Textbook, Art of the Deal.

    If I wanted to discuss things in secret I wouldn’t use Signal I’d have the conversation on MSNBC in Primetime.

    Yes the American revolution mostly featured George Washington leading terrorists to massacre, rape, and drag the corpses through the streets while celebrating the death of British civilians in large numbers, and then Washington and his terrorists hiding behind innocent colonials

    Replying to @NickFondacaro
    Trevor Noah says he was "angry" at CBS's Tony Dokoupil for saying Coates sounded like an extremist. Noah then compares Gaza to the American Revolution: "If you remove America's history...then it's like, yeah, those people who fought against the British, they were terrorists."

    The Portland police would’ve stopped this but a few minutes earlier they got a report that a cafe served a plastic straw and they scrambled all units there.

    This is Antifa. Here’s a group of masked thugs beating an elderly man in Portland with a crowbar and macing him. x.com/Lucet_Veritas/…

    Why can the north declare independent and not the other 6? What if they did? More war? Why is there a Night’s Watch? Where the heck is Arya going? How’d she convince anyone else to go with her? Columbus was trying to reach Asia and thought it closer. Had a reason and a theory.

    Ben Rhodes hasn’t posted anything taking credit yet but you gotta hand it to him. Obama signs that deal 10 years ago and sure enough Iran has no nuclear weapons now.

    I’m glad we never have to vote again. This was so stressful.

    Michael Saylor says, "We sold $1.5B of stock backed by $500M of BTC. We bought back $1.5B of #Bitcoin, capturing nearly a BILLION dollar gain in the arbitrage." 🤯 WHAT A LEGEND!

    The return of economic idiocy is staggering and terrifying. Many things are debatable even if I or others may strongly differ. Tax rates are debatable. Transfer programs are debatable. Regulation is debatable (all within reason). But the return of politically driven idiocy that

    Rent control has killed every city it’s touched. It’s one of the few things most economists (not all, some are indeed extreme progressive whack jobs) agree on. Rent freezes are rent control with more cowbell. You are a hack and a failure and a ridiculous person. Mamdani will be

    I did a rent freeze and almost 2 million hard-working New Yorkers benefited. @ZohranKMamdani wants to do a rent freeze. You know who doesn’t want to do a rent freeze? @andrewcuomo, and he thinks he can trick us into forgetting that.

    We can all pretend Trump and Vance are some sort of inspired geniuses. Or we can see two soft bullies haranguing a man who has been fighting a war to save his country for three years.
