New Delhi: Some unusual suspects came out to express their thoughts on Twitter on everything from the 2020 Super Tuesday polls in the US, to the latest instances of hate speech.
Democrat Joe Biden might have emerged as the big winner in the Super Tuesday results, but US President Donald Trump prefers focusing on the biggest loser.
Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren, other than Mini Mike, was the loser of the night. She didn’t even come close to winning her home state of Massachusetts. Well, now she can just sit back with her husband and have a nice cold beer!

He also made fun of the man he calls ‘Mini Mike’ using the dreaded coronavirus epidemic as a way to teach him a lesson.

Any clue what Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala is talking about? No? Never mind…
मोदी जी,
1 US$ = ₹73.08
विपक्ष मे रहते हुए $ के बदले ₹ की गिरती कीमत पर आपने जाने कितने ट्वीट किये, कितने कटाक्ष किए।
आज 15 महीने में ₹ की कीमत सबसे निचले स्तर पर है और आप ट्विटर-ट्विटर खेल रहे हैं।
आपके जुमले अनुसार 1$ के मुकाबले ₹45 कीमत कब होगी?

And here are four points by author Manu Joseph on why the Citizenship Amendment Act is a big fat mess.
The amended citizenship act is a dumb piece of legislation considering 1) its language 2) how little it achieves 3) its disproportionate damage, like loss in India's prestige 4) the BJP's global image as evil when it didn't set out to be evil in this regard.

NDTV’s Prannoy Roy lauds India’s Election Commission of India after watching the way the US makes a hash of voting.
After hearing of the terrible voting procedures in the US primaries especially in Texas-with voters standing in queues for 5 hours to cast their vote-I salute our Election Commision and our entire voting system. Especially since we have 100s of millions more voters than the USA

Ex-Big Boss contestant and son of former BJP union minister Pramod Mahajan, Rahul compares the infamous Hyderabad encounter case with the 16 December convicts.
निर्भया के दोषियों की फाँसी फिर टली, जब अदालत को पता है कि फांसी की सज़ा होने के बावजूद दया याचिका आदि को चुनौती देने का अधिकार है मुजरिम को, तो बार बार डेथ वारंट जारी कर निर्भय के परिवार का मज़ाक़ क्यूँ बनाया जाता है? शायद इसीलिए लोग ‘हैदराबाद वाला इंसाफ़’ पसंद करते हैं।
