Yes, because only one other POTUS has done so, and it's 'the biggest' and he's a malignant narcissist who sadistically enjoys causing suffering

I don't forget in his first term he asked why we had nukes, if we weren't going to use them. And he wanted to nuke a hurricane. Setting off a nuclear bomb has been his wet dream for YEARS.

This is the literal truth. Musk will bias the algorithm against anyone who is getting too popular on the left on X. X is and will forever be a right wing cesspool. That was the whole point in buying it. Countries of the world need to ban it since it is essentially a foreign propaganda operation.

The goal for liberals, progressives and the left should not be to become more effective on X. There is no path towards making that happen. The goal for liberals, progressives and the left should be to destroy X. We could achieve that if we all just left. X needs us. We don't need X.

The "ecosystem isn't broken" on X--it's working as intended. X is a fascist propaganda network because Elon Musk manipulates the algorithm to promote fascist content. Musk manipulates the algorithm to promote fascist content because he is a fascist. The game is rigged.

Keep in mind, if that airman hadn't been rescued and was taken prisoner, Trump would've had to say, "I like people who weren't captured," as he said of McCain. Also, it took "an Easter miracle" to retrieve the airman, even though Iran is supposedly powerless against us and "has no cards to play."

Pope Leo XIV used his first Easter address as pontiff to renew pleas for peace and dialogue, and to condemn violence, as war in the Middle East cast a shadow over the celebrations. “We are growing accustomed to violence, resigning ourselves to it, and becoming indifferent” he said. trib.al/xc8Ta9u

The image is split into two sections. The top section contains text on a white background. Below the text, there is an image showing a triple cat bowl holder. It is a wooden stand holding three round bowls, each filled with brown cat kibble, placed against a wall on a light wood floor. The second section of the image shows three cats eating from the bowls. The cats' bodies overlap, with a white cat on the left, a black cat in the middle, and an orange tabby cat on the right, making it difficult for them to fit neatly into the bowl spaces.

Bought a triple cat bowl holder so when they’re eating the mogs can line up perfe... Oh, never mind.

Iran destroyed a US Air Force E-3 Sentry in an airstrike on a Saudi Arabian base. There are only about 15 of these aircraft, valued at approximately $500 mill each, and losing one is a serious hit to the U.S. ability to detect and track threats at long range. And there’s a Russia connection… 1/2
