Israel just murdered Prime Minister of Yemen and their entire cabinet. If anyone had done this to Israeli Prime Minister and Cabinet, they'd be considered by Western media as the worst terrorists in the world. So, what does that make Israel? They're obviously a terrorist state.

I asked @elonmusk to put me in charge of cutting the Pentagon. And he said - what are your suggestions? I run the largest left-wing network online and a Democratic leader has NEVER asked me that question. The idea that they would take advice from a populist is disdainful to them.

What the fuck is Biden doing authorizing Ukraine to use US missiles inside Russia? Which side of the political spectrum is this on? The right hates it, the left hates it. Only establishment Democrats and Republicans, who are all neocons serving the donor class, like this.

As predicted, Democrats are all over TV this morning blaming diffferent demographic groups for the loss. No, it's YOUR fault! Democratic leadership is the establishment, which is despised! People didn't vote based on race or gender, they voted on how much they hated your elitism.

While the left is yelling at me not to work with MAGA, here’s @DonaldJTrumpJr saying we should limit generals from working for defense contractors. That’s a policy we’ve been pushing for and gotten nowhere with Democrats on. Who cares who does it as long as it gets done?!
Donald Trump Jr.

Replying to @cenkuygur and @elonmusk
This is a great idea that has been discussed.

FUCK!!! Charlie died. God damn it, this is not the way!! I didn’t just know him from our interviews and debates, but I met his wonderful wife. This is beyond heartbreaking!! Violence is so stupid! He was a real person, a human being, who just died in front of our eyes. Tragic!!

One more credit to Trump and his fans today - and only today - Trump sticking the hand up and saying, "Fight, fight, fight!" while the crowd chanted "USA, USA, USA!" was bad ass.

If someone tells me they are voting for @realDonaldTrump, I instantly lose all respect for them. This is very literal and includes anyone in my personal life.

Netanyahu is playing with fire. He humiliated America today. He made Trump look like his servant. Mainstream media can spin it all they like, but the American people are waking up to the fact that no matter which party wins, Israel stays in charge. We're growing tired of this.

No one in their right mind thinks Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. So, what is the only force on earth that is powerful enough to kill someone inside a U.S. prison and get away with it? And powerful enough to make sure neither party ever says anything about it?

Joy Behar says @joerogan believes in dragons and that's why he's not reliable, whereas The View is very reliable. They thought Biden was young and dynamic, had no problems with his cognitive abilities and was best possible candidate! I've got dragons at slightly more credible.

I've been trying to figure out why I'm more optimistic now than I was before the election, even though I was so against the guy who won. I know now. MAGA is not my mortal enemy (and neither is the extreme left). My mortal enemy is the establishment. And they have been defeated!

Some in the press called Trump's McDonald's photo-op bizarre. This is how you lose credibility. That was a home run photo-op. He looked like a real person there, connecting with the average American. If you can't see that, you're totally blind.

Hillary Clinton just said on CNN, “we lose total control” if social media content is not more regulated. Exactly! She's accidentally admitting the whole point of their attack on social media. Social media can't be contained and they're losing their grip on power. They hate it!
