@elonmusk The entire Chinese Communist Party is one collective bot on Twitter. What are you gonna do about that, @elonmusk?

Are you seeing far fewer bots/scams/spam?

@SethMacFarlane Yeah… this person doesn’t live/vote in Oklahoma…

Ain’t no noise pollution like Taiwan’s noise pollution cuz Taiwan’s noise pollution … is excessive, ubiquitous, unregulated, headache-inducing, energy-draining, infuriating, somehow accepted as part of normal daily life … and don’t stop. #taiwan #Taiwan #TaiwanPlus

Retweet = Endorsement.

@redandexpert @realDonaldTrump Ewwww… You’re canceled now, bro. Toxic by association 🤡

Politics, cross-strait relations, economics, energy policy, etc. are all important. But not “scooter dog holding bagged bubble tea in muzzle” important. 🧡 #taiwan

@zeynep Yes! Speaking from Taiwan, the bottleneck is real! The question is, why won’t those in power do anything about it? Why aren’t we opening more manufacturing plants to up production?

Yeah. Even countries with money can't find vaccines to purchase. Honestly, I think vaccine manufacturers have increased supply as much as they can, and it's not really patents that are the key bottleneck. We needed government-level global action. Tragic. twitter.com/chasewnelson/s…

Disagree. We should be honest. IT IS A ZERO-SUM GAME. Vaccine manufacturers are not able to meet demand. Production is already maxed out. If we hoard or have vaccines expire rather than share, that doesn't make it a non zero-sum game, it just makes us morally bankrupt.

@RollingStone Nothing inspires credibility in an article, it’s editor, and its publisher like a photo of Oklahomans dressed in winter clothes in… September???! Jesus, Rolling Stone. Get your shit together.

@redandexpert @TomCottonAR @RepTomSuozzi @marcorubio @RepMcCaul On the surface, sure. The larger looming issue it’s nested in? Not so much. Obv with certain ‘capitulations’ TW could all the Sinovacs they could ever want. Thanks but no thanks...

@redandexpert @TomCottonAR @RepTomSuozzi @marcorubio @RepMcCaul Bro, if the situation in Xinjiang only gets lip service, then this won’t even be a blip on the Congressional radar.

@redandexpert Same for Trump supporters. Although, in neither case should “taking them seriously” absolve them of consequences for the batshit crazy behavior they are capable of.

@thenewslensintl I love this place! My family and I have already visited twice in the past month and I still can’t wait to go again.

From a hardscrabble youth in colonial Japanese Taiwan, Ju Ming ascended to the heights of the international art scene. His last act has been turning a wasteland in New Taipei City into a large-scale sculpture park — a "museum for everyone." international.thenewslens.com/article/142502

@redandexpert The fact that you even pose this question obviously proves you to be a bigot. Examine your prejudices, Hitler. 👾

The Breakers and the Gamers, yes. But what about the biggest faction of all: The Gamed. The horde of Trump voters who somehow never realized how much they have been played by this scumbag.

@DanCrenshawTX Painting with a preeeeeeeeeeetty large brush there, buddy. Please stop doing that. It isn’t helpful.

Biden supporters, faced with a loss, geared up for riots. Businesses boarded up in fear. Trump supporters, faced with a loss, geared up to fight in court. This difference matters. Media elites can stop finger wagging at folks using a legitimate process to make their case, ok?

@Timcast Which one are you?

this website is just morons yelling at morons

@redandexpert It says nothing negative about democracies. The top countries in terms of pandemic response seem to have been New Zealand, Taiwan, and South Korea. All democracies. The U.S. in its current iteration seems to be trying to shed its mantle of ‘leading democracy’ as fast as it can.
