  1. What deflecting? What don't you understand about the fact that if X has the right to regulate speech then that means X members don't have the right to say anything they like? What other possible interpretation could there be of what I said? As for the "collude" question...the government certainly has the right to advise. Just not the right to compel.
  2. I cited evidence to support my claim. Maybe you've got a better explanation of why people reverse their opinions instantly when Trump reverses his.
  3. It's a private site. So it has a right to regulate speech in any way it likes.
  4. He claims to be a proponent of free speech. He has never said speech on Twitter is free except when it comes to me.
  5. How should I know that. You included my comment in your post. Unlike a lot of members here, I don't pretend to read the minds of other members.
  6. The gist of this class of person is "I don't like Trump but..." which mostly means they really love Trump. Witness how they turn on a dime when it comes to Trump strongly endorsing the H-1B program when it's clear that it's been massively abused to displace American workers.
  7. It may be one of the rules but if it is, it makes a hypocrite out of Musk.
  8. What's nonsense is you characterizing my post as "everyone is a fascist".
  9. Just to match the prices that China offers on its goods would be very costly. And why wouldn't China respond and do the same?
  10. There's no reason for a buyer to care and every reason for a seller to care. And there's a lot of stuff the Chinese make that fully developed nations don't. And they can produce their goods more cheaply than can fully developed nations.
  11. How many businesses are strong enough to do that? And how many businesses would be needed to have an effect on the huge scale of trade? It's unworkable. And of course, what would stop the Chinese from doing the same thing?
  12. And why would any business do that? In fact, how could any business afford to do that? You think that government should subsidize those low prices? How would that not result in a boondoggle of massive proportions?
  13. I think it's acceptable. But if you really want to solve the problem, there's an easy way to do it. Just make it a felony to hire undocumented immigrants. Do you support that?
  14. I wrote he's censoring or downgrading his critics. What is unclear about that?
  15. It's not about what he said, it's about what he did and has been doing: censoring or downgrading his critics on X.
  16. It's not private censorship that's being decried. It's the hypocrisy. Especially given that the censorship being imposed is done against critics of the person who claims he bought Twitter to rescue it from such censorship.
  17. You got a problem with the sources, take it up with the mods. Or try introducing counter-evidence for a change.
  18. It's not a sigh of a healthy political movement when supporters of Trump who, like Trump, vociferously criticized the H-1B movement turn on a dime and support it. Oddly enough, that turn syncs with the turn taken by Trump. It's clear that it's not about the issue with his supporters. It's all about him.
  19. That's why the courts repeatedly that there was no valid evidence offered to support those claims. Judges appointed by both Democrats and Republicans.
  20. Really. And that's why you wrote this? What exactly is so funny about Brazilian exports that it elicits an LOL from you? It's clear you were expressing disbelief.
  21. Gee, could that possibly have anything to do with the fact that he's going to be the President of the United States? You think it's his charisma?
  22. Thanks for the information. So 4 informants, unauthorized by the FBI entered the building. What's your point?
