Exactly.

Yeah, agreed. The war in terror has normalised just assassinating people without any due process, we don’t even stop to think how messed up that is.

‘They’re Eating the Cats’: Trump Repeats False Claim About Immigrants

Not ‘lies about immigrants’, it’s ‘repeats false claims’, implying that he has no agency or responsibility when he does this, just the same passive voice reserved for officer involved shootings and spontaneous explosions in Gaza.

They never dare to use ‘lie’. If you’re going to write the article anyway, call things what they are.

Mostly because even the mainstream media will never call him out on it. There’s never been a headline like ‘Trump lies about ___’, despite him constantly, knowingly lying.

Also why they keep targeting journalists and social media influencers.

Americans have an amazing capacity to not understand things for centuries after the fact. Some of them are still in denial about why the civil war happened.

When the consequences of Trump’s tariffs become clear, they’ll just blame the closest Democrat.

Yeah, Trump ending the dollar as the reserve currency would be a fitting legacy.

Let’s keep it that way. Imagine if he discovers one day he could go over 100%.

And again, the media is just accepting the logic that just because one of the people is an accused terrorist (which I doubt is the case anyway), it makes it ok to kill everyone around them.

Yeah, I’m confused about that as well. It wouldn’t show up in a screenshot if it was a display issue?

You can just store metadata instead of all traffic (most of it is encrypted anyway). Or just store the packets that interest you.

And yet the New York Times refuses to use the words lie or liar.

They can actually just store the data on drives on the snooping device, and then periodically swap out the storage devices with a submarine.

Russians can easily avoid getting blown up by them just by staying in their country.

Elon’s maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s as they knew the Afrikaner government was a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany.

Man, how is this something you just share in an interview as if it’s just a nice piece of family history.

Ah, didn’t know this was only agreed to by Lebanon, not Hezbollah. That’s weird, Lebanon wasn’t even involved as an entity (besides getting bombed by Israel, I guess).

And yeah, your last paragraph is spot on. Someone will fire back, and that’s the only breach we’ll hear about in Western media, never mind the facts.

I knew Israel wasn’t going to abide by the ceasefire as soon as I read the terms. Hezbollah now retreated, Israel has 2 months to basically destroy and depopulate South Lebanon, and when the 60 days are up they’ll find some reason to stay. And by then Trump will be inaugurated, so there’s not even going to be any pretense of pressure from the US to stick to the ceasefire at that stage.

I don’t really get why Hezbollah agreed to this, presumably they should know better?

They’ll be driving multiple cars at the same time, while drunk.

And do you know why it happened on inauguration day and not anytime during the Carter administration? It’s because Reagan promised a better deal for Iran if they didn’t take the one Carter offered.

Nah, let Trump own it, because Israel is definitely going to break it anyway.
