@stephen_richer @EricKleefeld @RepTiffany Unable to persuade more than 30% of America's most ignorant and hateful people- the right relies on disinformation and gaming the system. By attacking the media, the voting system, and science- they are working to replace reality & facts with their made-up grievance narratives.

@michaelturton Dudes who just can't get over their Ex....

This is exactly the situation Beijing is working to create: where the local farmers and travel industry people are dependent on it, and thus blame the DPP. For Beijing it helps that heads of industry orgs tend to be blue, one of the ways the KMT keeps its grip on local power.

It’s because of the billionaire class. You still haven’t learned.

@WatsonLadd @AngelicaOung @jamespomfret It's delusional nonsense. Nothing to be gained by feeding it.

@AngelicaOung @jamespomfret What were they rioting about? Was it curtailing freedom of speech?

I told @jamespomfret that China's information warfare against Taiwan “creates an environment in which China can more easily win support, because its strategy really is to lower morale, instill a sense of psychological despair, convince people they have no future in being autonomous and their best option is to join up with China” reuters.com/world/china/ch…

@christoph_chiu @michaelturton Lol. Bigly.

@AaronAndrews27 @michaelturton She should end all tweets with "Thank you for your attention to this matter"

Lol. Everyone supports dialogue, that was never in dispute.

@Acyn @MeidasTouch Is that the Doctor that was resurrected like last Sunday?

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? Trump: It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one.

@Horrorhorrie @clashreport Lol... Oh ok.

@clashreport Good luck Hungary. Get ready to get absolutely fucked bij the EU like the rest of Europe. Silly people.

NOW: Viktor Orbán: The election result, although not yet complete, is understandable and clear. The responsibility and opportunity of governance were not given to us. I congratulated the winning party.

@PatriotBulldog4 @itsdeaann Ignore Bot-burt here. He is almost out of musk coins.

@itsdeaann Pissing off the left sounds fantastic. We all know he is not comparing himself to Jesus just rage baiting little betas like you.

Trump just posted a photo depicting himself as Jesus. He is depicting himself as God. He is not mentally fit to serve. MAGA Christians: How could you POSSIBLY defend this?

@michaelturton I couldn't read this tweet with the plank in my eyes...

Wait... didn't a party leader from the other party visit an absolute leader heading a state with poor human rights?

@joncoopertweets Sinking! Oh no. Quick.. catch this anchor. Oh and here is Erdogan to help!

Orbán, Putin, Netanyahu and Trump are in a rowboat that’s sinking in the middle of a lake. You can only save one of them — who would you choose?

@IslaIsland886 I'm sure she has her finger on the pulse of the yoof.

Don’t refer to ppl as useful idiots as doing so absolves them of responsibility Angelica is smart. She understands the propaganda, believes the propaganda, & helps to regurgitate the propaganda She’s not an idiot

@danzwku @ForeignPolicy Please... Don't make me shoot you.. I would be so upset... For like... hours. Not a thought spared here for the Taiwanese... As always

@ForeignPolicy uhhhh lolol if they actually "saw it as a tragedy" then they wouldn't threaten war lol, it's literally only a conflict because they can't accept the fact that they've never had Taiwan before and don't need it.

China sees the potential for conflict over Taiwan as a tragedy, not an opportunity. foreignpolicy.com/2026/04/08/xi-…

@iamwendy1001 @B58Husker @NikkeiAsia Well said! Taiwan without these features is no longer the Taiwan we know.

@NikkeiAsia As a Taiwanese citizen, I disagree with her recent actions, which should be understood as ONLY one political perspective rather than the consensus of Taiwanese society. Democracy, freedom, and self-determination continue to define our country.

This was our most read opinion piece for the week. The KMT and CCP form united front against Taiwan's sovereignty s.nikkei.com/48xvB55

@Byron_Wan It doesn't ... Add up .. oh wait it does

This Taiwanese CCP supporter Yuya Chen did a 180 at around the same time as Angelica Oung and 館長 (陳之漢) did. Is that just a coincidence? Or something happened behind the scenes in that timeframe? 🤔

@michaelturton The original poster is on to something! The next time I meet data that doesn't agree with my opinion... I'm going to start ignoring data. What could poss-i-bly go wrong?

This is a good example of how pro-PRC types don't understand Taiwan at all. The "structural shifts" in the Diplomat piece date back over a century, only in the last three decades has solid survey data on them become available. But the data was always out there:

@RealJakeBroe They both share the goal to weaken the EU and thus hurt NATO.

Aside from being Russia’s spy in the EU, why is helping Viktor Orban steal his election so important to Trump?

@chucktodd @RpsAgainstTrump Chuck Todd dives in front of trump to take the bullet screaming 'Both Sides!' Was Biden vindicated in offering pardons? Did Trump's doj go after every person who was just doing their job in the doj? How about Leticia James? Biden protected his people. Trump protects himself.

Perhaps Trump would have done this regardless, but let’s not forget Biden created this pre-emptive pardon precedent. The only good news that might come out of this pardon corruption: we will get a bipartisan supported Constitutional amendment to create a Congressional nullification process for all presidential pardons.

@Teoyaomiquu Orban is also a puppet of Xi (CCP)- helping Chinese products be 'assembled in Hungary' as a Trojan horse to avoid EU regulations. Supporting Orban helps the CCP & undermines the EU-both Putin's goals- now done with Trump's blessing. Orban-Putin-Trump-Xi: the real axis of evil

Can someone explain what's the interest of the USA in Hungary? Orban is a pro russian politician, Orban is demanding that Hungary buys only Russian energy products, refusing to diversify and buy American ones. It's like everything against American interests.

@unusual_whales If you see this and think: Yeah, I would vote for that- you need help. If you read that and think: Someone should do a wellness check on the president- then you know- this is not a 'well' country.

Trump has posted:

@lukedepulford Nice clear summary. Now add the fact that the majority of people residing on the island couldn't give a flying F about the words ROC and would be independent if not for a warmongering belligerent neighbor.

Is it true that "Taiwan has been a part of China since ancient times", as Beijing often claims? No, not at all. Here are some inconvenient facts which most people don't know. I invite the swarm of CCP trolls to try to unpick them. ✅ FACT: Before 1624, Taiwan was inhabited by indigenous Malay-Austronesian populations with no official Chinese administrative presence. ✅ FACT: The Dutch established formal administrative control over Taiwan in 1624, which was recognised by Ming Dynasty representatives as being "beyond [Chinese] territory." The Dutch found no evidence of Chinese administrative control. ✅ FACT: In 1662, the Ming loyalist Koxinga expelled the Dutch after himself being expelled from the mainland. He founded an independent kingdom, seeking to reestablish Ming rule. But the Ming Dynasty itself had already collapsed. This was not rule by "China". ✅ FACT: From 1683 to 1887, Taiwan was managed as a province of Fujien; but Emperor Kangxi considered Taiwan beyond his domain. Indeed, he said as much: ‘Taiwan is outside our empire and of no great consequence.’ There were popular revolts throughout this period. ✅ FACT: Taiwan was formally administered as a province of China for eight years, from 1887 until it was ceded to Japan in 1895. This is the only such period. Shorter than the Dutch. ✅ FACT: Following the 1895 Treaty of Shimonoseki, the Qing Empire ceded Taiwan to Japan "in perpetuity". ✅ FACT: Local leaders briefly declared an independent Formosa Republic in 1895 to resist Japanese rule, but the Japanese shut this down within five months. ✅ FACT: Between 1926 and 1942, both the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Kuomintang (KMT) supported independence for Taiwan, viewing it similarly to Korea (as an essential part of an anti-Japanese military strategy). ✅ FACT: The CCP changed its mind. After WW2, the party coalesced around an effort to reclaim "lost territories". In 1943 Cairo and 1945 Potsdam declarations were issued which, while not formal treaties, maintained that "all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Manchuria, Formosa (Taiwan), and the Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China". The 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty left Taiwan’s legal status "undetermined." ✅ FACT: The People's Republic of China (established 1949) has never, in any capacity, exercised control over Taiwan. As to the territorial claim of what constitutes "China", worthy of note is the highly variable claims to territory (not to mention autonomy and governance structures) over even the past 150 years.
