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.

It’s not a comment. It’s a new feature of the system, one designed to combat “misinformation”, which has been demanded by Western governments for the past few years. It’s just weird to me that someone would call it a comment or speech.

You can keep trying to qualify it as something else but it's protected speech. First it was a stamp of approval, then it wasn't a comment because it didn't look like a tweet, now it's a feature and therefore not a comment. I'll repeat: the form of speech is irrelevant.

But it's nice to see you struggle with trying to reconcile your free speech absolutism with outcomes of free speech protection that you don't like. So either you'll have to accept you're not a free speech absolutist or you need to accept free speech absolutism leads to instances you personally don't like.

I'm in fact neither an absolutist (fuck corporations and free speech) but do accept people with abhorrent ideas or crude manners get their say or room to foul up the mood.

It's weird to me that campaign donations by corporations count as speech, but that's what Buckley v. Valeo and Citizens United v. FEC decided.

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

It is very obvious that people are going to sell their mail in ballots, and otherwise trade it for favors. Maybe 20 to 100 dollars per ballot.

But "experts" in the media say that this does not happen, because science. . Which is to say that academics is corrupt, and the media are liars.

They say it doesn't happen (much) because there isn't (much) evidence for it. I previously linked to a report by the Heritage Foundation that found ~1,200 cases of voter/election fraud (of all kinds, not just crimes related to abusing mail-in ballots) over at least a 30 year period.

What evidence do you have to support your claim that it's "obvious" that people are going to sell their mail-in ballots?

Trump has been harassed pointlessly every day of his presidency.

Lack of care in this matter shows how poorly the previous leaders had governed.

I think it's time to outlaw this behaviour. I will try my hardest to bring force to stupidity.

Hillary is not more intelligent than Trump, she's likely bringing danger upon her own people. Obama pitted us against Russia and she would likely support a war there, blind of other enemy nations - supporting them financially, foolishly - whilst NOT mending ties with Russia like the US is something invincible.

You can act depressed/violent all you want in support of 'Hillary's intelligence' - but you won't change my mind.

Lest you debate with something logical, I'll take most of your comments as caveman fluff.

This is just chaos of ego. I've read a lot of comments. It's all swearing, shouting and wingeing - where is the logic against Trump and for Biden?

Biden supporters/Trump haters only bark, they never bite, but so much barking is going on it, undesirablely, makes sense. We're all forced to think, 'I know what that means' - and what does it mean? Bark bark in (unlawful) barking movement.

I didn't understand a word you wrote because of the bad grammar and spelling.

Legitimate criticism isn't pointless harrassment.

I think it's time to outlaw this behaviour. I will try my hardest to bring force to stupidity.

Outlaw what behaviour? Do you have a concrete example? Surely you're not saying that it should be a crime for the press to report on Trump's words and actions?

Hillary is not more intelligent than Trump

Yes she is.

Obama pitted us against Russia and [Hillary] would likely support a war there, blind of other enemy nations - supporting them financially, foolishly - whilst NOT mending ties with Russia like the US is something invincible.

Russia interfered in the election. Obama was right to confront them about it and respond. Hillary wouldn't have supported a war. It would be ridiculous to "mend ties" with a country that interfered (and by all accounts is still interfering) with elections.

Oh heaven's no. So your pointless opinion on the matter was never spoke and no-one had to think about it.

It's one of those cases where you think it's a big deal, but no-one else.

Is this a problem for me?

Not really. I'll get by. It's not like you've said anything smart. One day you'll learn your lesson.

An ant's body is too beautiful for you, a fly is too peaceful, so perhaps you'll just get another ugly human. Why? Cause you talk fucking bollucks and perversity.

yeah right. Abuse that mod power more. You talk nothing but shit mate. Can't wait for you to pass on... Nevermind.

I didn't understand a word you wrote because of the bad grammar and spelling.

Abuse that mod power more. — remoku

I don't know what you mean by this. I haven't deleted or edited any of your posts.

I would love to slaughter the whole western black and arab race. What now? — remoku

OK, so now I've (ab?)used my mod power on him (with a ban).

Think of the chaos currently in Minnepolis of #BlackLivesMatter protesters. A lot of damage has been done and I imagine tons injured. If no-one was to contend these blacks, they would slaughter everyone. I say use real guns, kill all violent protestors.

This socialist regime is weakening the states.

We need Trump, make sure to vote him in and in the end real justice will take these people. Who cares if they shout racism - this is America. Not your play thing.

I've dropped enough bombs on your country and killed enough of your children to feel sanctified by your perversity.

I will find a way.

... And another Trump turd gets flushed away.

How to tell if Trump is lying:

Either his lips are moving...

...or he is tweeting.

I've been told he never lies while he is sleeping...but occasionally lies that he is sleeping when he is not.

Pretty funny. Did you make that up yourself or are you sharing someone else's joke?

The "his lips are moving" is a regular meme. I added all the rest myself.

Trump is a thoroughly disgusting individual as far as I am concerned. I guess I let it get to me.

Again, I never said Twitter’s new feature is illegal or not protected by the first amendment, so it’s stupid to keep trying to nail down that irrelevant point, as if someone was disputing it or arguing the opposite. Is this how lawyers argue?

Again, it’s wrong for some pencil-neck in Silicon Valley to interfere with the president’s speech, apply a little label, and link to some CNN article. Pencil-neck is not the arbiter of truth, can dispute Trump like everyone else in replies, comments and articles, and need not abuse his power to apply links, fact-checks or any other nonsense on people’s tweets.

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

The owners of a service should be able to shape it as they see fit. You've used this in argument, passionately, many many times. You are not consistent.

Of course they should. It’s their property. They can do what they want. That doesn’t mean it’s right or wrong. Are you able to make that distinction?

@NOS4A2

Earlier you posted an opinion piece by someone saying that they'd vote for Biden even if he boiled and ate babies, and claimed that this was "Biden supporters in a nutshell".

Can I say that @Barabmob and @remoku are "Trump supporters in a nutshell"?

You have my blessing.

You have my blessing. — NOS4A2

Well now I'm conflicted. Is that a good or bad thing?

Is this another little game of questions?
