      President Cleveland can only equally enjoy the Statue of Liberty as much as anyone else. Trump would enjoy that plane infinitely more than the rest of us.

    I don’t think Grover Cleveland got a lot of personal use out of a 305 foot statue.

      He said not long ago that they were looking at it as a feature because it consistently kept correcting him and calling him out lol. It was one of his (many) dumb ass tweets where he just said “investigating” or “looking into this” or some crap. I would not be surprised at all if it’s changed or removed very shortly.

          …left *there

          My dumb trick for checking, in case it helps another: T(here and there), which also helps with here and hear.

          English is dumb, and after writing this out and spelling it several times, needing to correct the autocorrect… it all looks wrong now, and I am questioning my spelling abilities entirely.

            Well it was auto correct from swipe typing that got us into this mess in the first place.

      Most likely because if he would, it would remove one of the last barriers Twitter has to being sanctioned even harder by eg. the EU.

    Though if a congressional vote was held on the Qatari golden airliner, it’d pass along party lines, as no Republicans want to incur the wrath of the King. A few may hem and haw and express how troubled they are by the, ahem, highly irregular nature of this deal, but would ultimately wave it through. (Bonus: a handful of Democrats may vote to approve, out of an instinctual desire to reach across the aisle and build bridges or whatever.)

      TBH, from a political standpoint, if this went through all the regular channels and procedures then I would at least be supportive of dropping the tariffs on SA. It’s nice to have a middle eastern nation still willing to oppose Russia after all of this.

    Ann Coulter is an odd bird. She seems to be running interference for Trump on this one. Sometimes she’s not afraid to buck Trumpism. I know she’s awful, but if she could pick a lane, I’d appreciate it.

      not so fun fact: Ann Coulter wanted to sleep with my dad when he was in college, and once invited him to her house for the weekend, but he turned her down. I thank my lucky stars everyday that Ann Coulter isn’t my mom.

    Imagine not having a job, just sitting all day, and still getting shit wrong. Being BTFO’d by the community notes, on X of all places, is embarrassing for a conservative, or whatever she is.

      Haha, I was coming here to ask who gave her a blood meal. If 80s movies taught me anything, it was some suspiciously mature looking “teens” that went to party in her tomb.

    I’ll be darned, apparently Ann Coulter still exists and there’s still somebody who thinks she deserves attention.
