COLLINS: You wrote in fall 2023 that "Putin is to blame like Al-Qaeda was to blame for 9/11." Do you still feel that way or do you share the president's assessment as he says Ukraine is to blame?

WALTZ: Well it shouldn't surprise you that I share the president's assessment on all kinds of issues

Related, if YOU still use Twitter, then YOU are a Nazi supporter.
It really is as simple as that.
Kanye West is tweeting swastikas. They are not being removed.

The owner of Twitter supports German Neo Nazis and does Nazi salutes.

It’s time to be clear that Twitter is a Nazi app.

WHY are schools and government bodies using a Nazi app?

Twitter is a Nazi app.

ALEXANDER: The implication that this policy is new or that it stems from efforts that began under Biden is demonstrably false.

TRUMP: Who said that, you?

ALEXANDER: It's been on the FAA's website since 2013. Why didn't you change the policy during your first administration

Will The Sun be forced to print a front page apology? "We have been lying to you for years." should cover it. Not that anyone is surprised.

Trump's election should mark a turning point for the UK - do we want to remain a US outpost on the outskirts of Europe, or chart a new course? Time for us to turn away from the White House and start working with those who share our values

A cabinet should represent and reflect its people. This collection resembles an exclusive country club.
