@cjkanedc @MikeB2023 Too bad you don't know how the global oil market works.

@Alexarmstrong Remember all the hoopla the Tories made about the UK joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership? Exactly which beach in the UK borders the Pacific? 🤦‍♂️

@ker95TX @doogadoo11 Why don’t you treat the midterms like a game of, where’s Waldo? Feel free to spend as much time as you want trying to find his name on the ballot. Just make sure you don’t give up. Believe it’s there hard enough and you’ll find it. 🤡

@NumUnobtainable @GarethDavies007 Oh no! How will I survive, knowing that some bot with a whole 41 followers doesn’t agree with me?

@NickBuckleyMBE Let me make this perfectly clear - @NickBuckleyMBE has no idea what he's talking about, nor does he offer any evidence to back up his ludicrous assertion. He does not!!!!

@PhilipProudfoot So, what you're really saying is you believe that, no matter what the cost, the government has total responsibility for eliminating homelessness. Charities should play no part in this. Are you naive, stupid, or both?

@TheMeldrew This is why we need AI: because people like this lack even the most basic real intelligence.

@AllisonPearson @UKLabour More faux outrage from @AllisonPearson, someone who claims to be a journalist yet demonstrates zero ability to perform even basic research. 37.4% of Universal Credit recipients are employed (i.e., working people). To get people off benefits, they need to be paid a living wage.

@Gary04317416 Tell us how many American families would ever get such a check? How many people got the tariff dividend check? How many people got the DOGE dividend check? The last time they got a check like this was from the COVID stimulus. Who was president for the last of those, eh?

@audie2180 @Neccccy Nothing says "patriot" like asking a foreign leader to impose economic sanctions on their own country. You genuinely don't realise just how moronic your post is, do you?

I'll hold my hands up and say I'm no Python expert. So, can someone explain this? I type quit, and Python understands I want to quit, but tells me to type quit() rather than exiting. Explain to me why this is not the dumbest response possible.

@HenceNoGameShow @RNLI Dear @HenceNoGameShow, I'd like to inform you that we don't give a f**k what you think. Solve the problems in your own country before commenting on what's happening elsewhere.

@Airaswe Except that nobody will get the money. Did anyone receive their tariff dividend? What about the DOGE dividend? Talk about gullible.

@Vervie11 @MortyMark @real_shirelass Ah yes, once again, the "Trust me bro'" school of investigative journalism. To quote Buzz Lightyear, "You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity."
