Anyone can print a badge that says 'governor'. It was probably the Chinese who apologized.

Fascism in Trump's America.

"Twitter has hidden one of President Donald Trump's tweets from his profile, saying it violates rules about glorifying violence. But instead of being deleted, it has been replaced with a warning and can be viewed by clicking on it." — BBC

Yasss kweeen Twitter make 'em mad!*

It's unfortunate that you've become a full blown conspiracy theorist. Good luck with that.

You didn't bring any facts to the table. Only vague gesturing towards 'apparently' such and such and 'questions' about such and such. Fluff.

Sweden has the sixth worst death rate on the planet right now. As for the rest - I don't debate half-truths, rumours, and equivocations.

So you think the leftist government of Sweden have been completely wrong then? — Chester

Of course - the Swedish experiment has been a total failure. And insofar as the US is the 9th worst affected country by capita - measured by deaths - I'd say yeah, it's still bloody awful. The US supposedly being among the most 'developed' nations on the planet.

The handling of virus is a matter of politics through and through. And the denial of that is no less political through and through. Disgusting is tens of thousands of unnecessary and preventable deaths.

Correct. Because this is killing Americans at a way faster rate, and moreover, alot of this death is preventable. And while we're at it, the fact that 80,000 Americans died from the flu in one year is indeed pathetic and that kind of thing should never happen either.

Also, Twitter bullshit aside - 100,000 Americans have now died under Trump's watch from COVID. That's almost 3 times as many as the next highest count - the UK, at 37k deaths or so. What a fucking tragedy. What a fucking useless piece of shit asshole.

Ha, my bad, missed it.

Edit: I peeked in the Brexit thread. There's a reason I stay out of it!

Sorry to hear about your situation :( The Cummings thing is ... incredulous. As someone with only a passing familiarity with English going-ons, this really seemed to strike the point home:

Eh, they just saw red hats and went "let's get 'em for copyright".

Fair enough. Thought I did my legwork, saw it posted as a meme somewhere and went to search for the news site myself. Grr. Thanks for the followup.

Heh, I saw this too. The cartoon is a dime a dozen, it's strange to me that they went after it specifically. Although given Trump is a giant fucking baby, I guess maybe not.

https://www.mintpressnews.com/chief-prosecutor-amy-klobuchar-dismissed-charges-cop-killed-george-floyd/267933/

"Klobuchar also called for a “complete and thorough outside investigation into what occurred, and those involved in this incident must be held accountable.” However, this is unlikely to occur, in no small part because of Klobuchar herself and the precedent she set while serving as the state’s chief prosecutor between 1999 and 2007. In that time, she declined to bring charges against more than two dozen officers who had killed citizens while on duty – including against Chauvin himself, who shot and killed Wayne Reyes in 2006 and would later go on to shoot more civilians while in uniform."

1) Fuck Amy Klobuchar (and the shithead who's vetting her for VP).

2) Of course that cop has murdered people before. No wonder he was so calm.

3) These issues go from top to bottom and back again - street cop to senator, the whole fucking system is broken.

Remember kids: fact checking is an abuse of human rights!

This is why no one should take NOS seriously and just laugh at his shitness.

Nah let Trump get officially fucked; a fucking equal to his stature.

Yall better stop infringing on NOS's human rights when you tell him his bullshit is bullshit.

There's more than a grain of truth in the fact that Twitter should not be trusted to regulate speech. It had a hand, and a big one, in getting us into the current muck and mire we are in at the moment. And no doubt it will continue to act in its interests, even if that means compromising causes of social good.

On the other hand, one should not pass up a good opportunity to let Trump get fucked in public and then watch certain maggots try and fit square pegs in round holes.

And given that cooperations are people too... (thanks Capitalism!)

One of the fun things about Trump's Twitter is that it's filled with people giving him shit. Like, if you pick a random Trump tweet and read the comments, the majority of people in there are those who calling him on his trash, with a few interspaced bootlickers every once in a while. His much vaunted following is largely a troop of people spectating the delirum of an imbecile shithead fucking up the country he's supposedly governing. Twitter simply made it a bit more official.

The worm continues to squirm...

I’m saying it’s wrong to alter someone’s expression and essentially violate their human right. — NOS4A2

:rofl:

Trump got his human rights violated by being fact checked :lol:

I hope you're being handsomely compensated for embarrassing yourself like this.

Don't expect NOS to be consistent about anything - save his gargling of Trump's balls.

Sometimes it's the simple stuff that works. Like these idiots who appeal to free speech as a reason to, uh, shut it down. Let 'em 'free speech' for long enough and they spill all kinds of hypocritical vomit out of their faces.

I think what Twitter did was perfect. They didn't single Trump out with anything particularly exceptional. They called him out on bullshit like they might any other standard popular bullshit. It means people like NOS have to writhe like the intellectual maggots they are to try and cast it in a bad light - in this case, a hilarious appeal to free speech that demonstrates a total incapacity to understand what free speech is.

That's what happens when the leader of the Free World™ is a crybaby snowflake I guess.

Seriously, has there ever been a world leader as Snowflakely as Trump? The dude handles criticism like a child.

Of course as a private company Twitter is free to ornament Trumps bullshit with whatever they please, including, of course, pointing out that it is utter tripe.

This is really so delicious. These Trumpian crybabies like NOS have no fucking clue what free speech is, and they have to twist themselves in knots to even provide a semblance of consistency. Not that these intellectual degenerates ever give a shit.

The same way a 'libertarian' can so staunchly slobber all over a head of state - because it's all trash.

:snicker:

#fakenews

Also "libertarians" stand for nothing - except maybe pedophilia - so of course that dogshit ideology can be used for whichever way the wind blows.

We should in fact fact check all government officials, on all platforms, forever, on anything they write.

Trump being the best place to start. But it should probably be for his entire Twitter accont in general. Like: 'warning: this account is a known source of misinformation and deception'.

Yes censorship is when private companies fact check government officials on their bullshit that it what it is.

Fucking retards lol.

It's so uttrely tragic :( It's hard to say anything - just been watching the events play out in utter dispair. The rest of the world will bang on about China's 'role' in COVID, and barely a peep about the death of one of the few semi-functioning democracies left in the world.

The reason to not want postal votes of course, is because Trump is an antidemocratic fuckwad.

:up:

Just call it what it is: an attempt to disenfranchise those who can least afford to take time off to vote, and more likely to vote democrat. It's not even a real debate. People need to stop treating it like it is.

Trump should probably just get a second job, work really hard, set up his own media company, and then he can post whatever he wants! Capitalism offers opportunity for all :smile:

The Market™ has spoken, sorry Trumpets.
