Good afternoon @officialABAT,

Do you know that in Europe and UK, residents pay TV tax.

I'm suggesting that we implement Mattress monthly tax.

If you can afford a mattress, you're too comfortable and this could mean laziness - which will impact the country's overall GDP.
Forcefully install CCTV in citizens' bedrooms to ensure compliance.

Taxes should be per hour spent on the mattress.

That way, people either wouldn't sleep enough or they discard mattress while sleeping on concrete.

This way we can ensure hardworking Nigerians help the economy.
While at it, we can also introduce oxygen tax.

If you have 4 children, you are using up more Nigerian oxygen than Bachelors. You should pay more. Payment should be relative to age.

This will help curtail citizens having children they cannot cater for.

Please kindly consider.

🧵1) A #USAirForce RC-135U Electronic intelligence reconnaissance aircraft flew along the coastline of #China's Guangdong province, Hainan Island and around the Paracel Islands on May 7th as reported by the Chinese military.

The RC-135U flew near the sensitive Yulin-Sanya Naval Base in Hainan Island, the base for China's strategic submarines.

The RC-135U collects technical intelligence such as radar signals.Image
2) The RC-135U Combat Sent is designed to collect technical intelligence on adversary radar emitter systems.

Locating and identifying foreign military land, naval and airborne radar signals, the Combat Sent collects and minutely examines each system, providing strategic analysis for warfighters.

Collected data is also stored for further analysis by the joint warfighting and intelligence communities. The Combat Sent deploys worldwide and is employed in peacetime and contingency operations.

Communication equipment includes high frequency, very high frequency, and ultra high frequency radios. The navigation equipment incorporates ground navigation radar, a solid state Doppler system, and an inertial navigation system that merges celestial observations and Global Positioning System data.

The aircraft are identified by their distinctive antennae arrays on the "chin" and wing tips, large cheek fairings, and extended tail.

The crew includes two pilots, one navigator, two airborne systems engineers, and a minimum of 10 electronic warfare officers, or "Ravens," and six or more electronic, technical, and area specialists.

There are only two Combat Sent aircraft in the Air Force inventory and both are assigned to the 55th Wing at Offutt AFB, Neb.

The RC-135U aircraft are manned by Air Combat Command crews from the 45th Reconnaissance Squadron and the 97th Intelligence Squadron (of the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency).Image

OK- #TrumpTrial re-starts, Stormy day after Justice Merchan threatened to jail Trump for contempt. NY says 8 days left in their case. Multiday were Pecker & Davidson - Inner City Press will live tweet, thread belowamazon.com/dp/B0D2V212N2

Trump has arrived, blue suit and yellow tie. This time his lawyer Susan Necheles sets up in the lead counsel seat to his right. Apparently she'd be doing the Stormy cross examination today. But - contempt motion or argument first?
All rise!
Clerk: This is the People of the State of New York versus Donald J. Trump!
Justice Merchan: Anything we need to discuss?
Trump's lawyer Necheles: We are informed that Stormy Daniels is the second witness today, we oppose any details of sexual acts

Yo remember extremely genocide yet completely normalized cartoonist Or Reichert? He posted another Judeo-N*zi graphic with his favorite slogan: "NAKBA NOW".

BTW, this guy does cartoon workshops for kids.

And in case you went through my older thread about Reichert and thought a person this militant and blood thirsty is probably a badass tough guy, here's a photo of him: Image
Kinda like the fascist Zionist movement from the 1930's that was called "The Strongmen Alliance" and was led by three seemingly weak men Image

Opinion: Tim Scott refusing to answer the question “Will you accept the results of the 2024 election?” means he will be part of the effort to overturn the election if Trump doesn’t win 1/
Scott’s statement “Donald Trump will be the 47th President of the United States” means that he, Flynn, and others will take any steps necessary to put Trump in power 2/
This should be a five-alarm fire reported on by every major news outlet. Insurrection 2.0 is coming soon after the November election, and the entire @GOP is in on it. 3/

🔴🟢Ansarallah - Quick thread, IYKYK:
they actually started as a protest movement in the 90s right after the fall of the Soviet Union. When Yemen reunified, the iron-fisted Saleh took power and Ansarallah began as a protest movement in Hussein Badreddin Al-Houthi's house. (1/22)
Their goals and demands were simple, proletarian and anti-imperialist at the core: they wanted jobs, an end to poverty and a post-socialist political movement that wasn't a Saudi puppet. That's what Saleh and Hadi were. (2/22)
Hussein Badreddin Al-Houthi was a religious leader from the Zaydi movement, a sect that split off from the Twelver Shia sect. He always advocated for Sunni-Shia unity, as most Yemenis are Sunni, but he was against Salafism because it's Saudi-imperialist. (3/22)

"I began to think maybe I wasn't so smart and maybe I didn't understand politics... I have come to the conclusion that the election had not been stolen." -- Jan. 6 defendant EsvetlanaCramer, in a letter to the court
Image

"I had no knowledge of how the election system worked and my ignorance and lack of proper information had led me to accept half truths and outright lies... I had no legitimate reason for being there. President Trump had lost the election that November." Image
Plenty of Jan. 6 defendants now admit they feel like gullible idiots for actually believing Trump's election lies, Here's why Trump can't do the same:

So basically we have elite college students violently protesting a conflict and they can't even correctly spell either side
These always give me a chuckle

Honestly I think the protesters' real gripe is that the Jews keep busting the grade curve

A Polish judge who fled Poland to Belarus gave comment to a Russian media outlet explaining his decision to flee to Belarus instead of Russia. What a traitor
He also said that he fled because while still in Poland he received unofficial information about an investigation into him for espionage

Wait. The kids at Columbia spelled “Palestine” wrong?

$80K a year and a 9% acceptance rate and you can’t even spell the name of the territory you’re camping in support of.
I guess the lesson here is never let Macklemore make a video, which is something we can all agree on
