For anyone like me whose bullshit detector calibration is off from the past 10 years of crazy, this is indeed a real tweet from the official White House Twitter account.

There's no way they woulda let Musk's head hobbit exist there for so long without earning his keep somehow. Poor little kid is just repeating the same shit he's hearing the adult-shaped ugly children around him saying.

Is it a real quote from the movie? I've seen it but I don't remember what all the signs said.

Do not ingest their poison, block and ignore weaponized stupidity. Come back in 4 years. Stupid will burn itself out.

You're more hopeful than you've been given any reason to be to assume this will be over in 4 years.

Your complacency is their enforcement mechanism.

It is an international perspective. That country is burned out, board up the door and windows leading up there. Nobody needs to go, trade, or talk to them, they're done. It's like they're not there anymore. Life needs to go on without them, it's over. Maybe in 4 years, in the unlikely event that there are still elections, they will gets their shit together, but for now, lock the door to the asylum and throw away the key into the drawer of garbage.

The owners of the largest military in the world will make it everyone's problem before it gets better.

They will learn why castles aren't defensive military positions anymore and how an aircraft carrier is functionnally a floating castle.

You misunderstand the point of an aircraft carrier. It's not any more defensible than other large, floating objects - but first you have to reach it, and the aircraft it carries are capable of blowing up nearly anything to kingdom come before it gets anywhere close. Carriers aren't for defense. They're for projecting power.

They've been floating in impunity around the world for 75 years. It's pretty clear any serious war will start on day one with 5 of them sunk.

The only reason they're not corals reefs already is a polite gentleman's agreement to "lets not really war except against the poors" for about 40 years.

They're so unlikely to survive that battle planners should not waste time countering them after day 2. I wouldn't be surprised if one or two of them become scuba diving tourist destinations in the red sea before the real war even starts.

They are a monument to cathedral thinking.

Good news your wait is almost over. Soon we will have american supercarriers washing on shore, upside down.

We really should be seriously considering economic sanctions against America, not just reciprocal tariffs. Bullies always reveal themselves to be cowards when you stand up to them.

They are kind of sanctioning themselves to be fair.

“We need you to not retaliate because we’re not serious to begin with.”

perhaps the greatest achievement (?) of trump and his cronies is making "they live" an obsolete movie. they're saying in people's faces now everything every past 'murican government (and their pervasive elites) tried to embelish and coat in self-righteousness. for anyone who lived outside the country, especially those outside global north, this is some sort of twisted vindication.

They've created a "The Complainer is wrong, unless he's a total fucking Karen"

Americans will really get on their knees and say “thank you” as the gun is pressed against their heads, fully believing they’ll enter paradise once the trigger is pulled.
