What an unpleasant surprise. Id totally forgotten Ann Coulter existed.
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.
A lot of these “grifters” or “commentators” and stuff aren’t really there to interpret news and stuff. They’re there to tell certain groups of people what to think.
Like pass talking points to them or assuage their doubts about what’s really happening to them. Accuracy and stuff is an afterthought because they only need to worry about the next news cycle which used to be months but is now days.
big difference in accepting a gift on behalf of your countrymen and accepting a gift in opposition of your countrymen.

France was (and I’m using past tense here because relations are strained due to…gestures generally) one of USA’s first allies. They provided political, navel, and monetary assistance during the revolutionary war. They were one of the first counties to acknowledge us as an independent country once the war was over.

The statue was commissioned as a gift to the US, not to the president. It doesn’t have any listening equipment and it sits as a tourist attraction, along with information about our long standing alliance.

It wasn’t a fucking bribe!!!
Something that provides a whole lot of modern context is realizing that America was France’s early “Proxy war”. They wanted to give Britain a hard time, and so they gave colonials weapons to do it. Both of us won out from that exchange.
The key part here is that France didn’t keep an iron stranglehold of us. It was enough to win us our freedom that we would want to be their buddies without being forced. Fun story for anyone who insists the US wants to control the Ukrainian government.
I think autocorrect got you, unless there was a secret bellybutton supply we don’t know about?
Belly button lint was used as a cartridge if paper wasn’t available.
You ever been on a ship from that era? If you’re over 5’ tall you’ll spend a lot of time bent over staring at your navel

What a disingenuous cunt.
Which one of you guys went down into the crypt and woke Coulter up for this?
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.
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.)

I don’t believe Grover took it with him when he left, either.
that fuckin date format tho
Come to think of it, I’m a little surprised that Musk hasn’t pulled the feature yet.
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.
I’d also accept that nobody left they’re knows how to remove it
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.
And also the statue is not owned by Grover and it’s not in his home
I am also pretty sure Grover Cleveland didn’t refer to France as “historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level” less than 10 years before accepting the gift from them.
Hahhaa I didn’t even consider that.
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.
She has a lane and it is called “What is in the best interest of Ann Coulter right now?”
And that’s how we ended up with a Cleveland Tower in Paris and Grove-a-Lago just outside Nice.
Fuck Ann coulter with a klan poster
c/uncommoninsults@…?
Because giving a gift to the whole country, for its help in knowing CK NG the Nazis out of theirs, is exactly the same as giving a personal gift to one person, a Nazi, with strings attached.
