The Trumps & Elon tweets thread (Had to make this since it's never ending)

I'm a fellow victim of theitdepot too. The email id I used for only theitdepot, got flooded by spam. Where did you check for leaked data? I'm afraid any website I use for checking leaked data will itself leak my data - trust in humanity is running pretty low, NGL.
Here: https://haveibeenpwned.com/
Before it used to show leaked from 3 sites but now it's showing only 2.

Man, Trump and the US Gov just passed the ceiling on how absolutely moronic you can be, its pure comedy what these tariffs are, this brain dead retard just calculated the trade deficit and called it "tariffs" lmfao
 
"...Sahyog describes itself as a portal developed to automate the process of sending government notices to content intermediaries like X and Facebook..."
Indian govt. should have a trustworthy, dependable portable for giving notifications to it's own citizens. Why govt. should be depending on corporation from such a country with volatile policies ?

Isn't this portal is for issuing "B2B" censorship to media corporates? I don't think citizens are involved in this loop.
 
I mean, instead of depending on twitter which is a foreign pvt. corpn., Indian govt. should have own notification portal.
Ok, let me confirm the mechanism you are proposing :
1. The content is on Twitter (now named X).
2. Govt has its own portal on which govt publishes the id of the content to be removed.
3. Twitter (X) subscribes to this govt portal and removes content?

Govt uses Twitter for far more specific activities already e.g. publishing their policies, statements from "leaders", even help from govt agencies like RPF, railways, foreign embassies etc. has numerous times come from Twitter. And yes, this should not happen, this hands more power to Twitter than it deserves.

But content removal from Twitter can simply use Twitter mechanism - I don't see much advantage of the pub-sub model using a govt portal as a middleman when Twitter is going to be the only subscriber for removing Twitter content.
 
This is called coercive diplomacy.

Trump appears to be making good on a threat to attack Iran with a 'bombing the likes to which they have never seen before' should its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, refuse to destroy its nuclear programme and stop supporting proxy wars in the Middle East.


This is in response to Iran's counter to strike Diego Garcia

Iran's got two months to decide or have their nuclear program removed by force. This circus has gone on long enough. So refreshing to have a leader with the clarity of thought to deal with this problem once and for all.

Uncle ki WhatsApp groups are official Govt portals. What more do you need?

Trump is the father of Iran's current nuclear program. Why bomb?

  1. Obama executes Stuxnet virus which partially destroys Iran's Nuclear program.
  2. Obama takes Iran into the main fold. Puts supervision on all nuclear activity going on in Iran.
  3. Trump hates Obama.
  4. Trump withdraws from the nuclear deal and puts more sanctions on Iran.
  5. With no options, Iran goes back to its nuclear enrichment program.
  6. American defense sector stocks go up.

Yep. The same person recommended drinking bleach to eliminate the Covid virus from the body. He has a 7-year-old 'clarity of thoughts'.
 

How do Indian conservatives react when their beloved icons are throwing shade at each other like it's a reality TV show?
What Shade?

He's making a point about freedom of speech in India.

Let the case play out and then see where things stand

The government will trot out the law & order excuse so they have a good chance of winning

The inflation will be temporary as countries settle one after the other with the US as they reach their pain thresholds much sooner than the US.

US will have to endure some pain if they want the future gain.

Also he's writing for an Indian audience. Not American. No mention of the US being the defacto winner in this game of chicken against EVERYONE.

I don't deny the arms lobby along with energy are his main supporters.

But your reasoning makes no sense.

He wants to end Iran's nuclear weapons program one way or another. In this he has the support of the P5 despite what is being said.

Iran signed the NPT, if Iran goes ahead with a test they will be turned into N. Korea because N. Korea also violated the NPT. Violating the NPT is a recipe for global nuclear proliferation. That is why the P5 will support whatever American action in defense of the NPT.

So IRI has no option other than to cave to Trump's demands and by the looks of it has done so.

I mean, Indian govt. should not have to depend on twitter, meta, or any foreign corpn for distributing Indian govt. information to own citizens. Govt. should have own mechanism for this, otherwise if they are depending on a pvt company, should have full control over that.
 
Trump's tariffs.jpg

Interesting is the countries on 10-10

UK, Brazil, Australia, Singapore, Turkey.

How do Brazil & Turkey manage that?

Otherwise the US charges half as much as it gets charged. I don't expect these numbers to hold as over time countries will try to reduce import duties wherever possible.

Nice counters to the arrogant opposition who think they invented economics


Already shown to work back in his first term

This is not to say that the tariffs are perfect. There are cases where downstream industries are suffering. But in a world where China has created completely artificial and highly subsidized prices in order to take over world industries, the answer is not to repeal the tariffs. Instead, the right path is to extend protection to these downstream industries, so that they too can enjoy growth by serving American customers and employing American workers.
China is a predator. The purpose of these tariffs is to counter China. Everybody else being included is just so China can't claim to be singled out. But there will be further knock on effects at China's expense as more countries reconfigure.

Read how the calculation is made in the video I posted above, it has nothing to do with tariffs. It's based on trade deficit and 10% is the minimum rate.
