Trump​ ❤️ Tariffs

How dare anyone post X links!

 

And often they are LINKS to actual news articles btw.

 

Sometimes people like B man and myself are kind enough to quote the article to save those arduous clicks too.

 

Would you have been better informed by all of legacy media telling you not to believe your lying eyes for FOUR YEARS or maybe following real journalists that you can find on X?

 

Again, the rise of X as a news source is largely BECAUSE people grew tired of being lied to constantly by legacy media.  

 

They made their own bed.

Is it any worse than parroting what some ignorant goof at CNN or the WH press room tells you to believe about Biden's mental health or the efficacy of the vaccine?

 

Everyone's takes are informed by what they consume in media, X, the scientific literature etc. 

 

You're FAR better off these days being informed by X sources, actual X alternative news sources, than legacy media.

 

And it's not even close.

They have no basic guardrail to be truthful or even accurate and have no standard that they're being held to. Compared to traditional media that your holding to standard of absolute truth. So when traditional media lies or gets it wrong you say, SEE, Bill___ on X is more credible. Meanwhile nobody has ever looked at a single thing that user said and if it has any accuracy. Most of these posts are the equivalent of Facebook posts. They're random people's opinions. It's not news but people here post them to try to give credibility to a view.

That's fine.

I'm just saying buyer beware after reading scores of nonsense from X people who lead with opinion against zero knowledge of existing situations, any acknowledgement of the other point of view, history or current context.

And no credit goes to mainstream either, but they are a bit more disciplined as there are ways to get at them if wrong.

 

To each his own.

Again. SO WHAT?

 

There's 12 regular posters here. So what if someone linked to another take to add from X?

 

It's not as if it's not easy for anyone to distinguish between X posts that are individual opinions and those that are news articles that you can dig deeper into.

 

And guardrails?

 

😂

 

You're talking about guardrails as if the legacy media didn't nuke those same guardrails, grind them up and spit on it's grave.

Why do you think that is? 

 

I post how cool I am. Then I post my moms X account that says I'm cool. I do that 4-5 time a day in every thread. Why would anybody come here for decent conversations or to discuss actual events? You keep minimizing this place saying nobody comes here and it's a cesspool. Yet don't see the connection with your behavior and why this place only has 12 posters and is a cesspool.

This back and forth discussion is working so great.  You've listened and responded to my point with great attention to detail.  Productive!

 

I don't know how I can be any clearer.  But maybe I can create an X account and then post my thoughts in a tweet and then link here since you seem to pay close attention to those.

 

 Your gripes have been the same gripes but with a different flavor since the dawn of PPP. It's never going to change.  It has absolutely zero to do with X posts.

 

As I stated in my first response to you, you are more than welcome to leave if you don't like it.  Or you can stay and be the change man.  It will work!

 

As to why there are only about 12 regular posters here now?  Ask the 25 or so who left about five years ago to create their own board.

The these posts overwhelm every topic. If I wanted to read twitter I would go to twitter. If that's just what this place will always be so be it.  

It is a slight annoyance in this section compared to TSW with the overabundance of tweets.  Maybe one of our 10 embedded tweets are informative and I usually just skip by them.  This place would be better if you had like a two embedded tweet/article link quota per user a day.  Use your tweets wisely.  Although a guy with a shirt off with the X handle @zerohedge could be the next Woodward and Berstein for all we know.

Why is this entire message board just a twitter repost for like two people? Aren't people supposed to actually post original thoughts or have discussions vs just bombing each subject with reposted content from other places? 

 

This is why - and it’s why Musk had to exit DC - specifically Trump.  
 

 

Musk posted both of these today.  

 

 

 

 

 

He knows exactly what he’s doing.  
 

Unfortunately, they will not stop coming for X.   
 

Because liberals are sick people.

What am I supposed to be seeing? What does this have to do with 3-4 users spamming every thread with some random persons random thoughts?
 

What is the purpose of doing it? Most of the spam never gets responded to. It’s just post after post of it. I’m not sure I can identify with the motivation here. It would be weird to me to post dozens of times a day with 90% of it never getting a response and do it day after day after day.

 I guess I am if I'm expected to understand why somebody would repost news from X 20-30 times a day with most of it never getting so much as a thanks or discussion. It doesn't make sense. That is why I'm asking what motivates you to do it? But you won't answer. Help me to understand why this is so important to you.

I get it. My 80 year old father doesn't know how social media works either.

So this is your X or Facebook? Those sites aren't good enough for you? You have to select what things you enjoy and post them here 20-30 times a day even though nobody engages with it? I have this visual of a person with a megaphone yelling headlines over and over everyday, every 20 minutes, while the entire world just keep passing by never having heard any of it. Yet this person just keeps going.  You don't find this behavior unusual?

Oh???

 

 

In other words, the World Bank has validated Trump’s core argument: the U.S. faces disproportionately high tariffs from major trading partners.
